Hello, I am Annie and this is my Hygge & Cwtch blog created in Wales and inspired by the Danish hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) way of life. I believe a lot of goodness flows from choosing to live in the moment and take things simple and slow. We all need a bit of time and space to relax, take comfort and enjoy the good things in life with good people. I believe connecting with nature's beauty and nurturing power and indulging in moments of everyday joy is a true tonic.

The clocks have turned back and those dark nights are really drawing in. We love the cosy hygge vibes that the shorter days bring and embrace the lifestyle changes with each season. Of course, the flip side to shorter days is that we have much less daylight. Which makes it the perfect time to think […]
The boot room. Once considered a luxury, reserved for country mansions and estates, the boot room is appearing more often on the wish list of many a home buyer or renovator. Boot room inspiration is easy to come by on Pinterest and to us, it’s the ultimate example of form meeting function. So, let’s dive […]
With the colder weather drawing in, it’s natural for us to retreat into our homes and spend less time outdoors. Our favourite time to embrace everything we love the most about our homes, it’s the most hygge time of year! However, spending more time indoors means we can lose some of the benefits of being […]
