Meik Wiking

The author of the New York Times bestseller The Little Book of Hygge, helps you turn your home into your happy, cozy safe place. The urge to nest and control our close environments has never been stronger. We spend more time in our homes than anywhere else--but the way in which our homes impact how we feel has remained relatively unexplored until now. Backed with Danish design principles, years of research, case studies and a sprinkle of hygge, Meik Wiking has created the ultimate guide to turning your home, office, or wherever you may be, into your happy place. The Hygge Home will teach us all how to create a much-needed cozy safe space in our homes into which we can retreat to escape the tough things going on in the outside world. Meik will explore the size of our spaces, the way we decorate our homes, the amount of natural light coming in, how much access to green space we have and how we can extend these design principles from inside our homes to our neighbourhoods and beyond. Meik is guaranteed to help you create a home and safe space where you can both live and thrive.

How to Make Your Home Your Happy Place

The Hygge Home

˗ˏˋ  soy ˎˊ˗

to paraphrase one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century, Winnie the Pooh, ‘You can’t stay in your corner of the living room waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.’

To create a hygge home, it's important to remember to play. Remember: you don't have to stop because you grow old; you grow old because you stop playing.

Albert Einstein’s advice, ‘Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value,’

And the biggest anxiety of them all? Loneliness. For this, William prescribes a very short poem written in the fourteenth century by the Persian poet Hafiz: ‘I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in a darkness the astonishing light of your own being.’
