Tis’ the season for putting up the Christmas tree and decorating your home to help bring the holidays to life. While our favorite vintage Santa Claus figurines and traditional green garland enhance the joy of the season, your friends here at Al’s Florist, the best florist in Hollywood, are sharing tips on how to bring more warmth, comfort, simplicity, connection, and mindfulness into your holidays with a Danish art form called hygge. Hygge is a practice of finding joy in everyday moments that has evolved into a new way to celebrate the holidays with warm hearts, cherished loved ones, and, of course, fresh flowers. Learn how you can bring hygge home for the holidays this year.

Ways to Bring Home Hygge This Holiday Season

Create Cozy Corners with Fluffy Blankets & Fresh Blooms

Getting your space ready for the season is one of the best ways to invite hygge into your home. Decorating with your favorite decor, pulling out plush seasonal pillows and coordinating blankets, and finishing off the space with winter’s finest flowers oozes comfort, coziness, and peak hygge. Trust us, few things are better than putting on a pair of the softest loungewear, curling up under a big, fluffy blanket on a brisk winter day, and admiring your surroundings.

Enhance Your Home with Fresh Fragrances from Candles and Arrangements

Candles and flowers provide seasonal fragrances that can stir up memories of childhood. You can be transported back to Grandma’s kitchen, baking snickerdoodles on a snow day, or to the tree farm, picking out the perfect one to display in the living room for Christmas. There is nothing better than sweet scents and beauty to match.

Display Favorite Holiday Decor, Including Festive Florals and Greenery

Decorate for the holidays with your favorite type of seasonal decor, festive garland, and winter blooms in a way that feels good to you. Hygge doesn’t care what is trending on Pinterest or social media. Let your holiday home decor inspire warm, fuzzy feelings and bring happiness each time you walk into the room. After all, your home should revolve around you and your personal, unique taste. If it feels good to you, we are sure it will look spectacular to your loved ones and holiday visitors.

Bring Home Seasonal Stems for Yourself

Bouquets of fresh flowers inspire hygge in numerous ways. Their glorious aesthetic and pure beauty enhance the look and feel of our spaces, creating a peaceful yet uplifting environment that can boost any mood. Their blooms draw us in with fragrances that urge us to be mindful as we admire and appreciate them. Flowers given to us by loved ones also help bring us closer to them as they communicate with us through the thoughtfulness of sending an arrangement and the symbolism of each bloom.

Enjoy the Company of Loved Ones

A friendly reminder about the holiday season is that we should spend it with friends, family, and loved ones. While it’s easy for us to get swept up in the holiday hustle and bustle and spend time searching high and low for the best gifts, a better way to spend your time and find hygge during this season is quality time with those we hold near and dear. Invite them to bake holiday treats with you, create new traditions, host a game night, or admire holiday lights together. Whatever you choose to do, ensure they receive your undivided attention so you can soak up all of the seasonal joy and cheer.

Whether you’re hosting holiday festivities, entertaining guests, or enjoying quiet nights by the fire, filling your home with hygge is sure to make this year one of the best yet.
