With wintertime approaching and COVID social distancing guidelines in full flux, we’ll be spending a lot of time in our lake houses this season. As such, it’s bound to be a cozy few months filled with blankets, hot chocolate, and books by the fireplace. These activities evoke a sense of comfort and relaxation, which is better encapsulated by the Swedish word, hygge. Pronounced “hoo-gah,” this concept is all about finding a state of contentment.
