Hygge, the Danish concept of cosiness, is now a well-known practice the world over. So, it got us thinking\u2014do the other Nordic countries have their version of hygge?\u00a0

From Iceland to Norway to Sweden to Finland, we discovered some of the best places that embrace the hygge concept as well as ways you can get that cosy feeling at home.\u00a0

Iceland has more than just a word for positivity, they have a whole way of life! The saying \u00feetta reddast\u2014<\/em>\u201cit will work itself out in the end\u201d\u2014is a mantra that all Icelanders live by. With a harsh climate, unexpected natural occurrences\u2014think volcano eruptions\u2014and an isolated location, Icelanders have long had a penchant for living in the moment and taking things as they come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you get the chance to head to Reykjavik<\/a>, visit the quaint bookshop, Ida Zimsen. In typical Icelandic style, the exterior is a muted grey wooden building, but once you step inside you\u2019re welcomed with warm wooden floors, inviting nooks, and shelves stacked to the rafters with books (many of which are in English). Settle down with a coffee in one of the sheepskin-draped leather chairs and spend the afternoon getting lost in a good story. <\/p>\n\n\n
