When it comes to the world of interiors there’s one trend that has taken 2017 by storm and it’s even more relevant now that the summer months are coming to an end. This trend is known as Hygge. Pronounced “hue-ga”, it is a Danish trend that brings the concept of togetherness and cosiness into your home; think candles and fluffy throws! So just how can this look be achieved by alone? Well, it’s all down to the type of rug you use..
Colour
The colour of the rug itself can help inject a touch of Hygge into your living room, giving it that authentic Danish feel. The most common colours are soft greys, ivory and sand, anything that is pretty neutral and has a pastel vibe about it. Nothing says Hygge quite like an ivory shaggy rug and it’s a great treat for the toes too! Ivory is ideal for creating that overall Scandinavian vibe in your living room; pair it with pale woods and light floors and you’re certainly on to a winner. Grey rugs make for a wonderful modern addition to your room, in fact grey has been one of the most used colours in the interior world over the last 12 months. With so many variations of the colour itself you can create whatever kind of ambience you feel is right and couple it up with any accessory. Sand rugs are a fantastic feature and can help to unleash earthy and natural tones in your room, making you feel at one with the great outdoors.
Texture
Whether you opt for a shaggy rug or even a sheepskin/animal hide kind of vibe, they can all heavily influence the decor of your living room. Sheepskin rugs are perfect for adding warmth to a room and make a great distinguishing feature for your floor too. Aside of being great focal points on the floor they can also be used as throws too, great if you’re looking to add an authentic Danish vibe. One of the most important factors about creating the Hygge look is making sure that the room oozes comfort, what better way to do that than use a shaggy rug? As far as rugs go, they are the epitome of comfort and trust us, your feet will thank you for them!
Patterns
For a truly Nordic/Scandinavian feel why not invest in rugs featuring geometric patterns? We’re talking crisp, straight lines crossing one another and almost hurting your eyes. These rugs take you deep into a Scandinavian forrest into a beautiful log-cabin sitting in front of a proper fire, so bring all that into your home!
So there you have it, pair any of these rugs with some candles, a couple of throws, lots of cushions and even throw some indoor plants to create a true Danish feel absolutely anywhere!
