Embrace Spring With These 10 Fun Hygge Ideas

The days are a little longer, the sun a bit warmer and tiny white flowers are breaking through the soil. Spring hygge! 

Spring IS in the air. Along with spring’s freshness and hope for what lies ahead comes an urge to get outside, breaking out of winter’s hibernation. 

While the Danish art of hygge might make a lot of sense in the fall and winter months, that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy and thrive in the spring too! You can still embrace the cozy and enjoy the slow and simple parts of spring by practicing these hygge habits! 

I know the title of the post promised you “10 fun hygge ideas”, but as I started to write, I kept adding things – so here you have 12 awesome spring hygge ideas! 

(Why stop at 10 ideas when there is more hygge to be had?!)

Spring Hygge Ideas:

1. Bring nature inside

Decorate with fresh eucalyptus or a new plant for your home! In Denmark, they celebrate spring by putting cut branches with budding leaves in a tall vase, decorated with small Easter eggs for Easter, or left in their natural state as the leaves emerge.

2. Open the windows

After a stuffy winter of not being able to open the windows, leave your windows open for even just a few minutes. You’ll be surprised how much of a positive difference fresh air and bright light can make on a chilly spring morning. 

3. Clean your home

Show your home some love this spring with a mop and a rag. By spring cleaning your home, you make an effort to maintain and enjoy the things you have. Take good care of your home by giving it a thorough scrub-down. You can listen to your favorite music or an audiobook while you are swinging the broom. Once you let in the sunshine, all the dust and cobwebs you collected during the winter months will magically appear, trust me.

4. Add natural light to your home

While lighting candles can be an excellent way to brighten a room, allowing natural light can truly transform a room! Consider adding natural light to brighten up a dark room. Open all the shades, curtains, blinds – ALL the window coverings to let in the beautiful spring sunshine. 

5. Get outdoors

Enjoy the warmer weather and get outdoors! Play outside with your kids, walk your dog (walk ANY dog), or even enjoy the time spent outside doing absolutely nothing. Find a way to spend time outdoors every day during the spring. Remember, the Danish saying: “there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.”

6. Light a fresh spring scented candle

Candles are appropriate year-round! Find a fresh spring scent such as rose or lavender to burn in your home. If you don’t want to use candles, look into aromatherapy such as potpourri or essential oils.

7. Declutter your home

Giving your home love during the spring is a great way to embrace your cozy home! Decluttering your home will help you spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying the things you love. I use this printable workbook every quarter to update and refresh the seasonal decor in our house. It’s so much fun and something that brings me a lot of hygge moments.

8. Gather beautiful flowers for your home

Pick wildflowers or buy flowers from the store or a farm stand to add a touch of nature to your home. This is an easy way to get a fresh pop of color into your home.

9. Eat your meals outside

On days when it’s nice out, take your meal outside! Even just sitting on the porch, eating a sandwich will feel amazing when it’s warm outside. During the spring, we like to enjoy our meals on the patio or go for a picnic in the park.

10. Sit outside and read a good book

Grab a good book and head outside. Spend time in the sunshine and dive into a book-club-worthy book. Soak up the warmth, vitamin D and disconnect from the outside world for a while. 

11. Plan your flower and vegetable garden.

While you can’t start your spring garden until the last night frost is well behind you, there are plenty of things you can do inside to ensure this year’s gardening success. Create a gardening plan and layout, prepare your seeds and starter plant inside.

12. Love your houseplants. 

After a long winter, chances are your houseplants are ready to be repotted, trimmed, and even propagated. Spend time pruning and beautifying your plants. If you have empty shelves and windowsills treat yourself to a new plant – or three! (Remember, there’s no such thing as too many plants!

Just because winter has come to an end, doesn’t mean your time to practice hygge ends! Embrace your cozy spring days, slow down and enjoy the blooming flowers and the fresh spring air. Spending time in nature is a special kind of hygge; it’s an effective form of self-care.

@ellenmariewiseman has outdone herself with this page-turning historical fiction that will leave you missing the main characters and wanting to know more about these historical events.

You need to read this story… and all the other books written by Ellen Marie Wiseman. She quickly became one of my favorites after I read “The Orphan Collector”. 
Riveting, bone-chilling, heart-breaking… and I am still on the edge of my seat a week after reading the last pages.

Happy fall y’all! 🍁 This past weekend, I had Happy fall y’all! 🍁 
This past weekend, I had a few hours to spare, which never happens. I could have plopped down on the couch to relax - I sure needed it. But NO! 🛋 
Instead, I decided to decorate for fall - and let me tell you, it felt cleansing and refreshing! 🏡 
I dug deep in my storage shelves and revisited “old” @decocrated pieces from past boxes and then I mixed and match with items from the FALL and HALLOWEEN boxes. 🎃 👻 
In a few weeks, this fireplace will be my best friend - and I will sit by the warming flames as I work. 🔥 
This mantle makes me happy - and my husband even said “wow - look at you go!” 🥰
I think that’s man-speak for “buy more Decocrated boxes!” Don’t you agree? 🤔
