Lights
First of all, avoid turning on that glaring overhead light and rocking too much light on the whole – a cozy and relaxing space is usually about some gleaming light. Don’t limit the lights to just your big Christmas tree: think outside of the box and put twinkle lights in a bookcase or around a window. And consider leaving a few twinkle lights well into January for a mood booster and hygge well after Christmas is over. If you have a fireplace, it’s gonna be another cool and cozy light source.
Light up your candles and go for scented ones, too! Candles will help to create a mood and an ambience, use them for your tablescapes, too. DIY some candles if you want adding your favorite winter scents to them, it’s very hygge-like.
