An inspiring new book from the bestselling author of The Little Book of Hygge about how to use space, light, and Danish design to transform your home to fit your needs
Now more than ever before, our homes need to be a place of comfort, a place to feel safe when we shut the door. Our homes are where we can truly be ourselves, unwind, and create special memories with our family and friends. Inspired by Danish design and traditions, this beautiful new book from Meik Wiking shows us how to turn our home into a cozy sanctuary and live a bit like the happiest people in the worldâthe Danes. Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) is the art of surrounding yourself in comfort and is at the core of Danish culture in creating a happy space. With simple tips based on new research from The Happiness Institute in Copenhagen, this book reveals what makes a happy home: including the difference between space and size, the importance of lighting, and how to foster better connections with our loved ones. No matter how much space you have or what your budget is, Meik explains how you can use color, light, and space to create your happy place and celebrate coziness the Danish way.

      Starred review from October 1, 2022

      Everything readers want to know about hygge and happiness is between the covers of this book. Wiking (The Art of Making Memories) is the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute, which has a mission to scientifically study human happiness, specifically examining the relationship between one's environment and their emotions. Hygge is a Danish design philosophy in which the goal is to create people-centric spaces. The book brings together hygge and happy. It covers the why and the how in thorough detail, and it is brimful of practical and specific design ideas, tips, advice, summaries, and checklists. Additional pluses include a global perspective and COVID studies and information. It goes beyond home design to embrace lifestyles with recommendations, such as cooking a slow dish or growing one's own food to slow down and center oneself. VERDICT This book is engaging, informative, timely, and inspirational, all in one. Highly recommended for all types of libraries.--Marjorie Mann
