Have you guys heard of Hygge? Essentially, it’s a Danish term that is intended to honor the art of coziness. Taking small steps to transform your environment into a sanctuary of snugness and comfort will bring you one step closer to embodying the Hygge lifestyle. Some refer to Hygge as Cocoa by Candlelight. Others refer to it as Coziness of the Soul. Regardless of how you refer to it, it’s intended to evoke feelings of safety, coziness, comfort, and warmth. 

I don’t know about you guys, but I could seriously use some Hygge right about now. With my hectic work schedule, chaotic friend group drama, and daily doses of existential panic, I’ve never needed to retreat into a cozy world more than I do now. The idea of slipping on my fuzziest pair of socks, kicking my feet up on the fluffiest cushions as I sip my hot cocoa — with whipped cream and shaved chocolate — and watch Frozen for the billionth time sounds like heaven.

After all, why shouldn’t your room be a haven of coziness? Your bedroom is one of the few places on earth that’s truly your own. So, why not transform it into a warm and cozy sanctuary? You owe it to yourself to have a place you can retreat to at the end of a long and hectic day that evokes feelings of pure relaxation and ease. 

With all the stressors in today’s world, setting aside some time for comfort and relaxation is absolutely mandatory. So, if you’re hoping to transform your bedroom into a cozy winter wonderland that embodies all things Hygge, you’ve come to just the right place.

Ready for some much-needed comfort? Slip on your favorite flannel PJs, steam up your mug of hot cocoa, and fire up those peppermint-scented candles as we share the best ways to transform your bedroom into the coziest winter fairyland imaginable.

Add a Cozy Hot Cocoa Stand to Your Bedroom

Adding a miniature hot cocoa stand to your bedroom will truly evoke instant coziness. 

Not only is it inviting, it’s a magically delicious. After all, one of the most popular terms for Hygge is Hot Cocoa by Candlelight. 

You can add fun toppings and side snacks to decorate your mini cocoa stand, including candy canes, marshmallows, and Christmas cookies. There are a few festive Hot Cocoa Bars from Amazon that are small enough to fit on your dresser, yet big enough to make a statement. It doesn’t get much more adorable than this, folks.   

Books Are an Absolute Must

They say a house without books is a house without soul. As an avid reader, I’ve always felt that this theory applies just as well to one’s bedroom. One of the best ways to breathe some life and coziness into any room is to add stacks of books. Lots and lots of books. 

Whether you have a bookshelf or simply want to stack your novels in a gigantic pile, there’s no denying how much iterature can turn any old house into a home. I personally recommend adding novels that have a Wintery atmosphere to them, such as Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince, Rebecca, Wuthering Heights, Catcher in the Rye, Six of Crows, and Jane Eyre. 

Winter Wonderland Figurines Provide Whimsical Charm

Sprinkling festive figurines and trinkets throughout your bedroom is a simple way to add wintery delight. You don’t have to do too much. Sometimes, less is more, so decide which speaks to you most. Whether that’s a snow globe, white reindeer, or a miniature white Christmas tree, these all can add snow-kissed delight to your space.

Cozy Throwaway Pillows Add Snuggly Warmth

Cozy throwaway pillows are essential for any wintertime bedroom aesthetic. They add a cushiony toasty feel that evokes feelings of comfort, safety, and warmth. You can add as many or as little as you want. Just make sure the color and design pair well with the room’s overall aesthetic. I suggest snow-kissed white or frosty blue to give that wintertime vibe.  

Frosted Blue Fairy Lights Glitter Up A Room

Twinkling fairy lights complete a wintertime bedroom. They adds a touch of mystical magic to the space, making you truly feel like you’re snuggled up inside a snow globe. Hang these wherever you’d like, really. Now’s your chance to get creative, whether that’s wrapping the lights around your headboard, dangling them from the curtains, or stuffing them in a mason jar. Either way, frosted blue fairy lights are sure to enchant your bedroom like something straight out of a scene from The Nut Cracker.

Icicle Fairy Lights Bring Mystical Enchantment

Twinkling lights can mimic the magic of snowflakes and icicles like nothing else. But rather than being forced to endure chattering teeth and frostbite, you get to enjoy the effect while snuggled up in your toasty bed. Sounds like a win-win to me!  

Tin of Freshly Baked Gingerbread Cookies

A tin full of freshly baked gingerbread cookies in your bedroom will create the coziest and gingeriest aroma imaginable. You can even bake and build your very own gingerbread house as additional charming (and delicious) Hygge-inspired decor.

Furry Blankets in Snow White or Ice Blue Hues

You’re gonna need more than a cardigan to keep you snuggled up this season! Consider chunky or fuzzy blankets to keep you nice and warm. I personally love my winter blue throw blanket from Amazon, which keeps my space so cozy and homey all year round.  

Okay. Time to transform your bedroom into a winter wonderland.
