To hygge is to create a harmonious atmosphere, a feeling of warmth, a mood of contentment. Hygge is freely used to describe rooms, buildings, homes, parties, people and activities.

...the salient feature of hygge is the atmosphere of warm and relaxed enjoyment of the moment which it allows. While it is nurtured by thoughtfulness and mutual involvement, hygge is informal and unrestrained. -Judith Friedman Hansen

Life begins well. It begins enclosed, protected, all warm in the bosom of the house. -Gaston Bachelard
