“Hygge Harmony: A Kolkata apartment embraces
Scandinavian serenity in design”

– Surfaces Reporter

Hygge, the Danish concept of coziness and conviviality, inspires the interior design of a 5900 sq ft apartment in Kolkata. There has been a shift towards personal, intimate spaces post-pandemic, moving beyond aesthetics to a Hygge lifestyle. The project involved merging two four-bedroom apartments into a spacious five-bedroom home requiring multiple cosy sitting areas crafted for comfort and relaxation, including the main living room, media room, family area, and library corner.

Soft-edged, curved furniture and asymmetry in room designs promote a casual vibe, with thoughtfully balanced elements like blinds and off-centred features. The guest bedroom doubles as a home spa, and a dedicated laundry room enhances functionality. The interplay of natural and artificial light creates a soft, relaxed atmosphere, with a modern luxe colour palette featuring misty blues, forest greens, and dusty pinks. This design embodies the essence of Hygge, aiming to cultivate everyday happiness.
