I wanted to cover the topic of Hygge this month so invited Hygge expert and Interior Designer Sherri Smith from Sherri Smith Interiors who lives on the sunny, Sunshine Coast in Queensland to cover this beautiful topic for us. So go grab yourself a warm drink and a comfy spot on your lounge and let’s launch into what fabulous tips Sherri’s going to impart with us. Hi There Everyone,⠀ ⠀ Have you heard of the new decorating style Hygge? It has hit the headlines in recent times for good reason, and today we are going to explore what it means to bring in some Hygge to your abode.⠀ ⠀ What is Hygge?⠀ ⠀ Hygge is a Danish word loosely translated as a feeling or atmosphere of cosiness and joy. Pronounced “Hue-gah” I like to think of it as “Huggie” as it wraps up the sentiment of the word for which we have no English equivalent.⠀ ⠀ Hygge is all about being with your closest family and friends while enjoying life’s simple pleasures. Of course, you can enjoy Hygge on your own with a good book, cocoa and snuggling into soft natural textures with your cushions, throws and woolly socks. That’s why Winter is the perfect time to get your Hygge on!⠀ ⠀ How to Decorate with Hygge⠀ ⠀ Now that we have a rough translation of what Hygge means we can explore how we can translate Hygge into decorating your Living Room.⠀ ⠀ Decorating your living space is the perfect place to bring some Hygge to your home, where you entertain with family and friends, enjoying each other’s company. Good simple food, being present and thankful. It sounds like the perfect recipe for a heartwarming experience.⠀ ⠀ Where to start with your Living Space⠀ ⠀ The Danish like to maintain a sense of order, believing to much clutter is disruptive to the mind. So do a little de-cluttering of your living space to open the mind to a fresh organised room. The Hygge decorating style is akin to the Scandi minimalist look, just a bit more cozy.⠀ ⠀ Storage solutions for your day to day items keep the clutter away, if everything has its own place, then it’s a lot easier to maintain order. Beautiful wicker and straw baskets can provide a great place - - Read more? link in bio⠀ Image: @alcob

What do you use as your jumping off point or inspiration when designing the interior of your home? We glean inspiration from a lot of places. Here, on Instagram, also Pinterest, then we also get inspired by magazines. You may be surprised to know that we get inspiration from Movies - yes, I'm often looking at the interiors of rooms on movies or even the general colour combinations used in not just rooms but sets in general. Then there is nature, I find there are countless colour and design concepts all through nature. A trip to any new place (city, art gallery, market) opens up the eyes to new design ideas too. How about you, what inspires you?⠀ Design: @lindyegalloway Architect: @brandonarchitects Builder: @pattersoncustomhomes Image: @chadmellon

How do you choose a colour for a room? We put a lot of thought into the colour schemes we use for our clients starting by chatting with them regarding what they do and don't like, how they respond and feel around certain colours and more. We take into consideration colour psychology along with the environmental elements of the room such as it's orientation, temperature etc.... We consider it's use. We look at it's relation to the whole home and more. Do you have a favourite colour scheme that you are using in your home? Design: @amberinteriors Image: @tessneustadt

Do you need some new artwork and don't know where to start? We have artists that you can commission pieces through AND we have a range of suppliers where when you order through us you can access our better than retail pricing. Now that's something!

What is one thing you absolutely can’t survive the work day without? For me, it’s my morning coffee. Once I have this, then I add my mac desktop or tape measure if I’m off to a Consultation with a client and get started with my day. What about you, friend? What can’t you survive the work day without?
