Hygge was the latest trend to make its way into our magazines and onto our screens at the start of winter and the run up to Christmas. This Danish style of living is about atmosphere, experiences, a way of life, one that we experience naturally without knowing what it\u2019s called.\u00a0 <\/span>But hygges not just for Winter, it far surpasses cosying up with a hot chocolate, book and your favourite socks.\u00a0 <\/span>Hygge is not easy to define, it is a feeling that is created through a combination of things but in a nutshell it\u2019s about spending time with family and friends in spaces filled with natural light and textures, living in the moment (not being distracted by mobiles and tablets) and enjoying happy times.<\/p>\n

With Hygge in mind, this style of living can be designed into your home to provide quality, more connected, intimate, quieter times.\u00a0 <\/span>What better place to start than with an exposed structural timber frame to provide a natural form of visual relief that is pleasing to the eye.\u00a0 <\/span>The inclusion of a timber frame in your home provides a wealth of texture and organic material, it also brings with it a history, a past life, a story, all essential ingredients of hygge.<\/p>\n

According to \u2018The Little Book of Hygge\u2019 by Meik Wiking there are 10points to make your home more Hygge like.\u00a0 <\/span>Here are the 10, with a Carpenter Oak twist.<\/p>\n

1. A hyggekrog<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Every hygge home needs a hyggekrog, a cosy nook in which to snuggle down in for some time alone or a cuddle with a loved one.\u00a0 <\/span>Timber frames can be designed to fully support the structure of you home, open plan living is easy to achieve, spaces can be separated using the frame to create cosy areas whilst retaining a shared, social environment.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
