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.
As the seasons swing around, so too do the seasonal colour palettes. Think icy whites and berry reds for Winter. Soft floral pastels in Spring and beachy shades for Summer. And of course Autumn brings us the greens and oranges of the spectacular show put on by the trees at this time of year. All […]
Here we are again! A new season is just around the corner. The weather has already taken a more Autumnal turn. Our minds and bodies are naturally beginning to turn inwards, towards our homes, ready to start hunkering down for the colder, darker months. While we’re not there just yet, now is the time to […]

Over the past year or so, we’ve been slowly but steadily building a little community of people who have an interest in interior and garden design. We’ve welcomed new blog readers, email subscribers and Instagram friends into our world of design, nature, connection and appreciating the beauty in and around our homes. So, we thought […]
We can’t think of a better way to kick off the year than with a new project reveal! We’re really happy to be sharing with you the first completed stage one of our 2023 projects, Marshfield House. Our client, in the beautiful town of Marshfield, Cardiff, took on Hygge & Cwtch Design Studio to help […]
While tastes change and trends come and go, there are some stories and interior design tips which are forever relevant, year after year. Some even become more appropriate as the years go on as mindsets shift and the importance of ‘home’ changes. So as we move into the new year, we thought we’d take a […]
It’s quite rare for us to talk about interior design trends here at Hygge & Cwtch. We very much subscribe to the ethos of a beautiful home is a happy and content one. Our passion is to make beautiful spaces which enhance and aid our happiness and wellbeing at home. Achieving this is very much […]
