Hygge living room inspiration for YOU:

So, life is stressful. That’s not new or profound, and I didn’t really expect to knock your socks off with that statement, however, wait for it.  Here’s the profound part – you can knock a lot of the stress out of life, by bringing hygge into your home.  It’s about taking your priorities back to basics, slowing down, getting cozy and enjoying life.

Wait, what is hygge? And why do I need it in my life?!

Not sure where to start?  How about in the living room?  Make a cup of hot cocoa, curl up in your favorite spot, relax and read on to see for heaps of great hygge inspiration for your living room.   And by great I mean simple, fun, and budget friendly.  These DIYs for throw blankets and pillows, candles and potted plants, and coffee table trays will bring hygge not only into your living room, but into your very soul.

Living Room Hygge with Throws and Pillows

Let’s start off with the obvious, these Easy Flannel Throw Blankets by Girl Inspired is exactly what I’m talking about. Soft, comfy, and super simple!

This Heart Blanket by A Beautiful Mess would also do nicely. 

A Cozy No Sew Fleece Throw like this one by Maison de Pax,  will come in handy when you’re looking to snuggle in, plus it looks amazing.

I actually hadn’t thought of a throw basket until I saw this DIY Throw Basket by Lydia Out Loud, but it looks so lovely, your living room probably needs a place to store all of those cozy throw blankets.

This Blanket Ladder by Cherished Bliss is another way to store your throw blankets without letting them out of your sight.

And since every couch needs a cushion, Easy DIY Throw Pillows by the Turquoise Home will make a nice addition to your comfy space.

Living Room Hygge with Candles and Potted Plants

DIY Mug Candles by a Pumpkin and a Princess are soy and you can add your favorite scent. 

The Soap Queen  has a great tutorial for  DIY Beeswax and Honey Candles that have a nice gentle color, that just looks comforting. 

Bringing the natural elements of the outdoors, indoors, is an ideal way to bring hygge to your living space, and these Birch Bark Candle Holders by H2O Bungalow are the perfect thing.

I just love the look of this Popsicle Stick Flower Pot from Somewhat Simple.  Popsicle sticks are pretty easy to come by, and flowers just make your heart happy.

This easy Farmhouse Planter by Nemcsok Farms is cozier than the plastic pots.

Living Room Hygge with Coffee and End Table Trays

DIY & Upcycled Trays by Confessions of a Serial DIYer are perfect for keeping your to-be-read pile of books within reach, and even for serving hot cocoa.

Country Chic Cottage uses metal and lace for this Coffee Table Tray.

End tables are just handy, and these Fabric Covered End Tables by Mod Podge Rocks are a great way to soften up and personalize your living room.
