Custom Sign Design With Hygge In Mind

What Is Hygge?

Are you wondering what’s with all the hype around hygge? In last month’s post we talked about the Norweign technique of Rosemaling.  This month we thought we would try to explain the idea of Danish Hygge Design. According to VisitDenmark.com “The high season of hygge is Christmas, when Danes pull out all the hygge stops. Danish winters are long and dark, and so the Danes fight the darkness with their best weapon: hygge”, but  it also goes on to explain that you that you can still experience hygge in the summer. “Picnics in the park, barbeques with friends, outdoor concerts, street festivals and bike rides can all be very hygge”. The concept of hygge is best explained in the video below.

Hygge is a state of mind and incorporating hygge into and establishment can start with a custom sign design.  Just like the video shown above, the idea of bicycles, comfort and coffee became a great recipe for the Berlin Bicycle Cafe.  The custom sign and rooftop bicycle structure outside let you know about the inviting atmosphere you will find inside their cafe. Extending the concept from the exterior to the interior makes for cohesive design conditions and gives the people an idea of what to expect while they spend time in that space.

Bring Hygge To Your Home Or Home Away From Home

 According to the website Psychologies, Scandinavian interior design is inspired by hygge through the use of tea lights and cosy throws draped over a sofa, but in an interview on Wired, it states that because of the severe weather in the area, they create very nice surroundings for their interiors.  This is also why they create high end furniture and lighting.  Finding the right mix for both inside and outside your home or cottage can create an inviting environment for your family and friends.
