Hygge isn’t about what you have, it’s about how you feel. It’s that soft glow from candlelight, the comfort of a warm mug in your hands, the scent of something sweet in the air, and yes, flowers that make your soul sigh with happiness. This Danish tradition is all about leaning into cozy moments, simple pleasures, and meaningful connections. Whether you’re curled up with a childhood classic on the TV, sharing laughs over dinner with your favorite people, or gazing at a winter bouquet that pulls you into calm, present moments, hygge is the magic in it all. Let Schultz Florist, the best flower shop in Chicago, help you create your coziest, most joy-filled holiday yet.

Ways to Bring Home Hygge This Holiday Season

Create Cozy Corners with Fluffy Blankets & Fresh Blooms

Turn your space into a cozy little haven with fresh flowers in dreamy vases, nostalgic holiday decor, heirloom treasures, and all the festive details that make the season feel just right. Layer in your fluffiest pillows and softest blankets until every corner feels like a warm hug. In this comfy retreat, slowing down comes naturally, whether you’re diving into a good book, getting crafty with a winter project, or simply soaking in the quiet calm of your beautiful surroundings.

Enhance Your Home with Fresh Fragrances from Candles and Arrangements

Sometimes it’s the little things that create the best vibes, like fragrant blooms and flickering candlelight. As petals blossom and candle flames sway, their scents and glow stir up all those feel-good holiday memories. Whether you’re transported to your childhood Christmas tree farm, grandmother’s kitchen, or another fond holiday memory, hygge reminds us to hold onto these tiny moments. From the soft scent of a flower to the golden light of a candle, they act as gentle reminders to slow down, stay present, and savor the simple joys that make the season so magical.

Display Favorite Holiday Decor, Including Festive Florals and Greenery

The real magic of holiday hygge is all about making your space feel like you. Maybe you’re into vintage holiday decor, sleek minimalism, or a joyful jumble of twinkly lights, garlands galore, and poinsettias on every surface (no shame, we love it!). Whatever complements your style, invite your favorite people to join in on the decorating or soaking up the ambiance, complete with fresh flowers. The best kind of decorating comes with a side of cocoa, laughter, and memory-making.

Bring Home Seasonal Stems for Yourself & Others

Winter flowers of rich reds, snowy whites, crisp blues, and deep, dreamy greens are like a little love note from nature. As they captivate you with their beauty, they also add softness to your space, brighten your day, and turn ordinary moments (like sipping coffee or answering emails) into something a little more peaceful…and a lot more hygge. Place a bouquet on your desk, by the window, or next to your favorite mug. This is your sign to go ahead and buy the flowers. For yourself. For your bestie. For someone who needs a sweet surprise. Because in those quiet, thoughtful moments, surrounded by petals and peace, that’s where hygge truly blooms.

Enjoy the Company of Loved Ones

This season, the best gift you can give yourself is being fully present, right here, in the moment. Because let’s be real, the holiday magic isn’t in perfectly wrapped gifts. It’s in the giggles drifting from the kitchen while cookies bake, the late-night chats over cozy mugs, and the soft glow of winter flowers lighting up even the simplest dinner. Forget the pressure and the never-ending to-do list. What really matters is being with your people, screen-free and heart-full. The true spirit of hygge comes from connection, presence, and those small, magical moments that make the season unforgettable.

At Schultz Florist, we believe the best holiday vibes are the ones that feel personal, beautiful, and maybe even a little extra (because why not?). Flowers are the easiest way to set the scene, and we’ve got the perfect blooms to match your hygge mood. Let’s make this season softer, cozier, and full of floral joy.
