Have you heard of hygge? Much more than just a trend, this term represents a true lifestyle. Centered on the pursuit of comfort, simplicity and conviviality, this concept has made a strong entry into the world of interior design in recent years.

If you aspire to create a serene, warm environment in your home, the hygge approach is ideal. With carefully chosen paint colours and decorative elements, you can transform every room in your home into a place conducive to relaxation.

In this article, we explain how to choose the right colours and use the right Benjamin Moore paints so that your home embodies the serenity of hygge.

 

Hygge: how a Danish art of living transforms your home into a haven of peace

Hygge is a concept deeply rooted in the cultures of Denmark and Norway. It evokes an atmosphere of comfort and well-being, cultivated in the simple moments of everyday life. Snuggling up under a cozy blanket, savoring a cup of hot tea or enjoying a convivial dinner with loved ones are all practices encouraged by the hygge spirit.

Hygge goes beyond simple decoration. It encourages the creation of a soothing environment where every element contributes to the sense of well-being of the home’s inhabitants. Whether through subdued lighting, soft colours or natural textures, the aim of hygge is to create a true haven of peace.

 

The fundamental aspects of hygge

The hygge philosophy is based mainly on three elements: comfort, simplicity and nature. Here’s more information on each of these fundamental notions of hygge.

 

Comfort

Comfort is at the heart of the hygge approach. It can be physical, like a comfortable sofa or an ultra-soft throw, or mental, like a clear space and uncluttered surroundings.

 

Simplicity

The space should be warm, but not superfluous. A decor that’s both welcoming and uncluttered is to be preferred. Hygge favors authenticity, with colours and materials that evoke tranquility.

 

Nature

Connecting with nature is an important part of the hygge concept. Natural materials such as wood, cotton, wool and stone are widely used, as are indoor plants, which bring an element of freshness.

 

Hygge colours for a soothing decor: choosing the right Benjamin Moore shades

Colours play an essential role in creating a hygge environment. They are the basis of a soothing, warm atmosphere. We recommend choosing soft, neutral hues that invite relaxation of body and mind.

 

What colour palette is best for a hygge interior?

The hygge style often relies on neutral colours such as white, gray and beige. These hues create a luminous atmosphere and bring harmony and serenity to every room in the house.

Soft hues such as light blue, sage green, pale pink or lavender are perfect for adding a touch of refinement and serenity to your space. These colours are particularly suited to the bedroom or bathroom.

Earthy tones such as brown, taupe and terracotta evoke nature and bring a pleasant feeling of warmth. These hues are ideal for the living room or any other relaxing space.

Among the many Benjamin Moore paint colours, here are a few that would be perfect for creating a hygge decor:

• White Dove (OC-17): A soft white ideal for amplifying natural light while maintaining a soothing ambience.
• Revere Pewter (HC-172): A warm, subtle, light gray with a hint of beige, ideal for any decor and creating an intimate ambience.
• Soft Fern (2144-40): A soft, fresh green that evokes nature, promoting relaxation.
• Gray Owl (OC-52): A silvery gray with a hint of green, perfect for creating a luminous, restful setting.
