Scandinavia is the world’s go-to for all things trendy.
From interior design to the latest hairstyle, just scroll through TikTok for a few minutes and you’ll see the Scandi influence.
Heck, even Disney went to the mountains and fjords of Norway to get their inspiration for Frozen! (Which, being Norwegian, clearly makes me and my kids a little biased in saying it is their best princess film to date – naturally).
But never mind your Stokke high chair or that gorgeous Leander cot you blew your budget on, now it is all about Hygge.

Hygge is the Danish way of expressing all things cosy and pleasurable. It has inspired homely recipes, cosy home interiors and now people are using all the warm comforting images for baby name inspiration!
