The Danish technique to make your home a cozier and happier space
After the hustle and bustle of buying a home, it's time to turn it into Home. Decorate it to our liking, give it life and personality…
To help you in this beautiful and exciting process, in Dream Sun Spain We bring you a very interesting blog about the “Fun”, a Danish technique whose aim is make your house your home, and suitable for all budgets, regardless of the meters that the house has.
This technique is considered an art and consists of making your home cozy and a happy place.
“Home is the place where we feel safe, comfortable and protected”
El Fun It consists of trying to improve our well-being and happiness by intervening in our environment. But how? Well, for example, with plants. The Facilities they are and give life. Another valid option would be creative writing, which allow exploration and contemplation.
In this way, it is not surprising that in our homes we find reading areas located in angles or corners, and not randomly. The reason for this can be explained through the theory of panoramic-refuge, which according to the English geographer Jay Appleton, consists of the human instinct to look for places where we can see without being seen, spaces where we feel protected. A clear example of this instinct would be the entrance to a cave, which would allow us to control the outside and no one could attack us from behind.
Going back to Hygge: Other accessories that can give warmth and texture to our home are carpeting and Tables.
A very important aspect in Hygge is the light, plays a fundamental role in our homes. Wiking recommends replacing the uniform lighting coming from the ceiling with light bulbs, such as a floor lamp next to the sofa, or a globe lamp strategically placed in a corner of the living room.
As for natural light, the author advises that we behave like cats (sitting where a ray of light passes). In this case, special attention must be paid to cleaning, since dirt reduces the amount of light passing through the glass. He also advises the use of cabinets or mirrors, which reflect the natural light from outside and give a feeling of greater light.
Finally, if there are children in your house, you must adapt the space for them, not only removing sharp objects from their reach and/or that affect their safety, but also creating a “hygge minispace" for them. For example: If you don't have a garden where you can build a tent for them, you can set up a corner in the living room for them, improvising with some blankets and some tweezers.
Another idea to enable a “hygge minispace” for the smallest of the house, and in case of having a house with several floors, you can take advantage of the space from under the stairs.
We can do all this ourselves, progressively, seeing where to place the elements that gradually make up our future home. But if you need help for the practice of Hygge, because you are not sure what materials or what distribution to carry out, in Dream Sun Spain We advise you to hire experienced professionals, such as DeltaTM.
