Home should be a place for connection and laughter. Somewhere to feel safe, supported, understood. Somewhere you can just be you. In this beautiful new book, Meik Wiking explains how the design of our homes can impact our well-being, and how by harnessing the Danish principle of hygge (pronounced hoo-ga), our homes can become somewhere we don't just live, but thrive. Based on new research from the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, this book shares small changes you can make that will have a big impact, including how to make any space feel more spacious, why round dining tables bring more joy, and the importance of good lighting. No matter how much space you have or what your budget is, Meik shows how you, too, can create your hygge home and live like the happiest people in the world. Book jacket.
