Hygge is basically synonymous with comfort. Are you comfortable lounging around at home in your sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt? Then that's hygge for you. Love sitting on the couch under a blanket, binge-watching Netflix series? That's hygge, too. Hygge can also be applied to places in your house, like a special hygge nook that is made for just sitting and being warm and cozy. It can even apply to furniture, like your favorite couch or armchair.
