EP258: "Cocoa By Candlelight": Creating a Hygge Home with Meik Wiking
Can our homes make us happier? Can we design for wellbeing? Can we create better homes where we not only live, but thrive? Meik Wiking believes the answer to these questions lies in the Danish hygge phenomenon (which he popularized a few years ago with his bestselling The Little Book of Hygge). On today’s podcast, Meik will talk about his new book, My Hygge Home. Meik shares how you can use light and space to create your happy place to celebrate coziness the Danish way, sharing simple tips based on new research from The Happiness Institute.
