Hygge, the Danish buzzword associated with interior coziness, has increased 285% in recent Pinterest searches and is so big in Britain that the Collins Dictionary called it one of the top 10 words of 2016. It is about taking pleasure in the simplest of luxuries, yet everyone has their own perception of what hygge means to them. It could be basking in the warm glow of a candle, staying in a bed for an hour or two on a Saturday morning, snuggling underneath a warm, cozy blanket with a good book; or displaying treasured memories. While the pronunciation seems complicated, creating a hygge (pronounced hooga) home doesn’t have to be tricky!
Oak Furniture Land has pieces that can help you capture this look with chests to store extra blankets and dining tables to seat friends and family. You can also adjust to dimmer lighting by placing small lamps on side tables, sideboards, and even night tables to really amp up the cozy factor. Their furniture is crafted from premium grade hardwood using traditional methods, such as the dovetail joints on every drawer. They never skimp on materials and never use veneer, MDF or chipboard in any of their products.
Summer is on the horizon! Friends, family, food, and fun are the central motifs in our lives. That’s why I’m looking forward to gathering with friends and family on balmy weekends for outdoor cookouts, al fresco picnics, and relaxed dinners. For me, there’s nothing more hygge than sharing laughter and having deep conversations with friends and family over a warm and comforting meal in a relaxed environment like the dining room.
Dining tables like the Baku Light Natural Solid Mango Dining Table ($669.59) evoke a cozy, come-as-you-are vibe that is perfect for achieving a relaxing environment. The simple yet beautiful, rustic features give it a versatility that allows endless of styling options for a tablescape. My dining room is in no way to completion, but it’s slowly, but surely coming together with things I have found here and there to give it a vibrant, inviting, and serene atmosphere that echoes my unique home style personality.
Assembling the dining table was straightforward and easy, but help was needed when it came to flipping it over since it’s made with heavy, yet sturdy, solid mango hardwood.
The tabletop has long, elegant grooves, and the whole table is finished in furniture wax to create a beautiful sheen and protect the wood from wear and tear. Additional features include delicate grooved detailing, chamfered legs, and antique-style corner studs.
Now, my next step is deciding on what chairs would accommodate the dining table best: Industrial Style Metal and Rustic Wood Dining Chairs ($395.99 at Target), Neo Flair Mid Century Modern Gold Metal Legged Dining Chair ($153.57 at Target), or LumiSource Vintage Flair Mid-Century Modern Accent Chair in Green ($159.49 at Overstock).
I want that table in my dining room SO badly! It would go perfectly in my house! I LOVE it.
Mango wood is so nice – not too dark or light. I have barstools with Mango wood tops and I love them.
What a lovely blog post. I’ve been getting into stuff like this and it is so fun. Your decor looks so lovely and love the dining table.
I think oak or wood type of material in homes give a cozy and warm feeling to it. All my houses I lived in, we always had wooden table. Even my current desk is wood! 🙂
I have never heard this word used before, very interesting that it is a popular word. I am not great at decorating but I do appreciate wooden furniture .

Love the wood of that table! It’s beautiful! I need a new table in the dining room.
That table is beautiful! I love my dining room table, but some times I think I want a new one. WE do plan on doing a breakfast nook, so I will be needing a small table there so I will have to check this company out for that maybe.

The rustic or French Country decor usually captures that hygge feel when it comes to our homes. I think this table is quite beautiful and it’s perfect for that kind of design.
Now isn’t this beautiful! Who wouldn’t want their home to look and feel cozy. I think that’s our goal when designing our home, after all, it’s where we rest and relax most of the time.
My hubby and I rarely agree on the furniture we need to get but one thing we’ve always agreed on is how much we like wood furniture!
I love classic looks and this rustic style really suits me. I love how you decorated that table but the wood itself is enough for me to buy it.
I love the rustic cozy feel that table gives! These pictures are absolutely gorgeous by the way!
How lovely! I love that wooden table you presented! I did laugh at my terrible pronunciation of the word until I got towards the bottom of your first paragraph though LOL
Best,

I love that wooden dining room table. It would look great in my home and I could imagine having many family meals over it.
Hygge is such an interesting concept. I have a very eclectic style. I like a mix of modern and retro. I want my home to feel comfortable but also clean and organized.
