The sofa bed is on order for our office. We have decided on our colour scheme and now I am thinking of accessories. I stumbled across an article the other day that talked about ‘hygge’ being the latest lifestyle trend. No, I haven’t lost the plot and yes ‘hygge’ is a word. It is actually an old Danish-Norwegian word. The translation of hygge is a feeling of contentment. Well, that is what the magazine article said it means. No doubt, my brother, who lives in Norway, will tell me something different.
Key elements of this trend really appeal to me. As we know, I love a good Nordic trend anyway, so I don’t need much encouraging. As is true of any Nordic trend, nature is key. I love bringing the outdoors in. We don’t have a big garden, instead we have a small patio area and a balcony. Therefore, I like to bring as much greenery indoors as possible. The only problem is that I seem to struggle with keeping them alive. However, I am determined to finally keep one plant alive!
I have been thinking about how I can embrace the Nordic trend in my office and I have decided that some greenery is a must. They say that you should have green plants in a working space. Plants have been shown to decrease stress and enhance productivity by 12%. Wow, I need to get some green plants in my office pronto.
The Nordic trend is also about keeping it simple. This is supposed to help with boosting creativity. I am thinking about introducing some copper accessories into the office. Copper is simple yet elegant and whilst it is 2016 interiors trend, it is also a timeless look. I think that copper also adds a lovely cosy and personal touch which is very ‘hygge’. The copper accessories will look against the teal and brown colour scheme.

Oh I think I could fall in love with the hygge trend! Love the idea of contentment and I am definitely one for creating the right environment to boost my creativity. Love the copper accessories – those lanterns!!
Ahhh I love copper! Yes, a bit of hygge is what we all need in our lives
Hygge, Succulents and copper! Some of my favourite trends. I’m like you, I can barely keep a cactus alive. I do love succulents in cute pots like this. Can’t wait to see the office when it’s finished!
Thanks! x
Oh wow, loving all those copper accessories! I am the least trendy person ever though, I’m more of a cosy girl (read: clutter!) than a minimalist girl so these would look out of place in our house but I can imagine they’re going to look fab in your office space #DreamTeam
Ahh thanks! I do love the cosy feel too 🙂
I’ve read so much about Hygge and am in love with it already…I think the copper accessories are gorgeous! I need to get some plants around the house, they always cheer up the room and make me feel happy xx
Just popping back again from #dreamteam to say thanks for linking up lovely. Need a bit of the cosy feel today as it feels soooo cold here, damn you autumn! xx
Oooh, I LIKE!! Xx
Oh yes I love this look, I’m so on board! I have quite a lot of copper in my living room – I’m not bought into trends so much, I just go for what I like, so the fact that this is seen as a 2016 trend makes no difference to me! I love the little lanterns and the Umbra wall planters, and I’m the same as you when it comes to keeping plants alive, I’m sticking to the ‘indestructible’ cactus for now (and still struggling!) #HomeEtc x
Haha, what is it it about us that means we can’t keep a plant alive!
Am a big fan of hygge, it makes winter bearable. I love copper, so much loveliness.
Ahh thanks Gemma. Copper and Hygge is rather lovely xx
Back again! It’s all about the Hygge! Loooove the Hygge! That first picture of the little succulents in the copper pot is my fave, #HOMEETC
Gorgeous, I love Copper and have it in most rooms in the house. I have just been and bought a load of plants today funnily enough, Its not something I have had before as I usually kill anything, but I had a couple in the bathrooms and survived so I have got a few more, given my house is very grey and white, the plants seem to make it a little more homely and less stark!

I love houseplants at the moment and wish I had more chances to expand my collection (they’re quite hard to buy in my town). I love them with the copper! #HomeEtc
Thanks! Love a house plant 🙂

I can’t believe it’s running for a second year! It was the buzzwords for 2015 wasn’t it and it’s doing the rounds again! 🙂 Why not though eh? What an absolutely gorgeous concept. I think everyone should have a little bit more hygge in their lives 🙂 #HomeEtc
