The challenge was

Impress with how you decompress.

Find your happy place with your next challenge.

In stressful, uncertain times like these, it’s important to appreciate the fleeting moments of comfort and coziness, since they can be few and far between. That brings us to the theme of this week’s Design Challenge: hygge (pronounced hue-gah), the Danish practice of creating a pleasant environment that promotes emotional wellbeing.

Think of things that money can’t buy that make you feel content. A relaxing stroll through nature. Nuzzling your fluffy cat on the nose. Losing yourself in a good book. Primal screaming out of your driver-side window. Whatever it is, use those ideas to inspire a new design that brings you peace, serenity, and fulfillment. Consider using soft and neutral colors for a chill vibe, or go the complete opposite route with deep, dreary hues that show you find comfort in darkness and chaos.

Give your emotions a hug with the Hygge Design Challenge.
