Winter is the perfect time to get comfortable and cozy. It’s also a great time to introduce the concept of hygge to your home. Hygge, pronounced hyoo-guh, is a Danish trend that can be applied to your entire home, including the bedroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find yourself wondering how to create a hygge bedroom or how to hygge your bedroom for winter<\/a>, we’ve got you covered. We chatted with interior designers about how to create a hygge bedroom just in time for the winter hibernation season. Cozy hygge bedroom, coming right up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is hygge?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First things first: What is hygge? \u201cAt its core, hygge is about comfort, calm, and connection<\/a>,” says Anika Tarasiewicz, an interior designer in New York City and founder and CEO of CRAFT by Anika<\/a>. “It is a feeling as much as a mindset. Slowing down and surrounding yourself with things that feel good.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does hygge mean, exactly? \u201cHygge loosely translates to ‘coziness,\u2019 and in practice generally means cultivating a sense of warmth and simplicity in your home,” says Courtney Batten, founder and lead interior designer at Paige Studio<\/a> in Dallas, Texas. “It could also be described as \u2018minimalism<\/a> with soul’\u2014think clean lines softened by natural textures and warm woods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt its core, hygge is about comfort, calm, and connection. It is a feeling as much as a mindset. Slowing down and surrounding yourself with things that feel good.” – Anika Tarasiewicz, an interior designer in New York City<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of a hygge bedroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your environment\u2014including light, noise, clutter, and even what your bedding feels like\u2014can affect how easily your body winds down at night, notes Tarasiewicz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHygge’s main sleep and health benefits come through the focus on minimizing overstimulation,\u201d explains Batten. \u201cReducing clutter and creating a minimal and neutral but warm environment will help to calm the nervous system and make it easier to fall and stay asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the lighting is soft, the textures are warm, and the room feels calm, your body starts to respond, adds Tarasiewicz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Your heart rate slows, breathing relaxes, and you feel more settled without even thinking about it,” she says. “The space around you feels like one big hug.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to create a hygge bedroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Add natural materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the first places to start when creating a cozy hygge bedroom is with natural materials. \u201cCotton<\/a>,\u00a0linen<\/a>, stone, and\u00a0wood<\/a>\u00a0can bring a sense of calm, comfort, and connection to the space,\u201d shares Tarasiewicz. \u201cEven adding a wooden tray or linen pillow can help shift the overall tone of the room.\u201d\u00a0

If you decide to incorporate more wood into your cozy hygge bedroom, Batten suggests sticking to typical wood species that are commonly found in Danish design: oak, teak, and walnut. \u201cSelect\u00a0furniture pieces<\/a>\u00a0that let the natural wood grain shine with a natural clear coat instead of a heavy or dark stain,\u201d says Batten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Choose colors that calm you<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another hygge bedroom idea? Soothing colors<\/a>. Tarasiewicz recommends muted blues, soft greens, and warm neutrals. \u201cPick what makes you feel at ease,\u201d she says. \u201cIf the colors make you want to sink into bed and stay there a little longer, then you are on the right track.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batten suggests sticking to an earthy color palette of browns, off-whites, and warm greige. \u201cAccent colors should be minimal and in earthy shades of muted blues, sage green, and terracotta,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Display meaningful objects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Remember, hygge is all about thoughtful simplicity\u2014so stick to displaying meaningful objects like a favorite book, a small piece of art, or a simple vase of dried flowers. \u201cQuality over quantity is key for the hygge look,\u201d says Batten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Incorporate Danish pieces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another way to create a cozy hygge bedroom is to incorporate vintage Danish furniture pieces. \u201cDanish design was a huge part of the mid-century<\/a> era,\u201d explains Batten, \u201cso if you can include a few original pieces into your hygge-inspired bedroom, it will add character and authenticity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Keep surfaces simple<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Batten describes hygge as “minimalism with soul,” so when creating a hygge bedroom, keep surfaces simple.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA cluttered nightstand or dresser can make the whole room feel busy and disorganized,\u201d says Tarasiewicz. \u201cClear off what you do not need and keep what you use daily. A candle<\/span>, a book, or a small dish for your jewelry is more than enough.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Layer your bedding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the easiest ways to create a hygge bedroom is to layer bedding. \u201cStart with breathable\u00a0sheets<\/a>, then add a quilt, a knit throw, or a textured\u00a0blanket<\/a>,\u201d says Tarasiewicz.\u00a0\u201cThe mix of textures feels comforting and gives you flexibility as the seasons shift.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget the\u00a0pillows<\/a>. \u201cThey need to be of good quality,” says\u00a0Tarasiewicz.\u00a0“After all, it is what you rest your head on each night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Make space for rest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One thing a hygge bedroom should have is a space for rest. \u201cHygge is about ease, not effort,\u201d notes Tarasiewicz. \u201cThat means designing your space in a way that supports the quiet moments.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some ideas include adding a cozy\u00a0chair<\/a>\u00a0in the corner with a\u00a0blanket or quilt\u00a0draped over it, creating a reading nook, and including an\u00a0end table<\/a>\u00a0or beverage table for a favorite book you’re reading. \u201cAny place or space for a small ritual that you can return to at the end of the day,\u201d says Tarasiewicz.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just be sure not to over-clutter anything or mindlessly fill the room with extra furniture. \u201cAll furniture should be intentionally chosen and serve a specific purpose,\u201d says Batten. \u201cSimplify the layout.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Pay attention to finishes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you plan on ordering new furniture for a hygge bedroom, Batten advises paying attention to finishes. \u201cChoose brass over chrome or nickel finishes,” she says. “Warmer metals will emphasize the warm and cozy feel and complement the warm natural woods in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Try new textures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDanish design, and the hygge trend, is all about texture,\u201d says Batten. \u201cCombine chunky knit throws, crisp linen sheets<\/span>, wool rugs, and nubby pillows to add depth and softness\u201d to your cozy hygge bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Use warm soft lighting <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Creating a hygge bedroom also includes the element of lighting<\/a>. \u201cHaving too many overhead lights can feel harsh, especially at night,\u201d explains Tarasiewicz. \u201cAnd if you do not have dimmers, there is no control.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Tarasiewicz suggests trying table lamps or wall sconces to create a softer glow. \u201cLighting should make the room feel inviting and relaxing, not overstimulating,\u201d she says.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For light bulbs, Batten recommends warm white bulbs, ideally around 2700 kelvin for that soft, warm glow, perfect for a cozy hygge bedroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you plan on doing a total remodel, Batten also suggests the glow of a fireplace. \u201cNothing says hygge like soft, flickering light,\u201d she says. If a fireplace isn’t in your budget, then try flickering battery-operated candles, which can also give off a lovely glow.<\/p>\n\n\n
