Coziness of the soul.
 
Click here to subscribe to this newsletter >
 
Variously described as "the art of creating intimacy," "coziness of the soul," or simply "the absence of annoyance," the Danish word "hygge" is a way of fostering a sense of comfort. This week, we encourage you to take a moment to just breathe and take a trip through a series of comforting images. Travel to the enchanted forests of Basque Country, padded gently in moss. Learn exactly what makes vintage photos so pleasing to the eye and how to re-create the feeling of old within the new. For our photographers: How to create a comfortable space for models and capture their best sides. And, while you're at it, grab some (free!) hygge-influenced color palettes and drape your next design in softness. There's plenty of time to embrace the dark side of Halloween (we'll get to that next week). For today: A warm drink and coziness of the soul.
