A Brief History

Hello and welcome to Hygge Folk! My name is Laura Grey and I'm so glad you're here.

Hygge is a Danish word meaning “cozy”. While hygge origins may be Scandinavian, hygge is an experience anyone can create in their own life and enjoy.

The elements guiding us to create Hygge feelings and Hygge experiences revolve around creating a feeling of inner warmth, content, peace and happiness. This happens through fostering an environment to connect and relate to each other. And that is why even without the vocabulary word I have always appreciated Hygge deep down, and am ecstatic about spreading Hygge to others and help pioneer the concept through America. A Hygge culture, is a happy culture.

Hygge Folk is a blog and community about hygge, the Danish art of coziness. Here at Hygge Folk I’ll explore hygge and how to bring hygge into your everyday life.
