Join us for an overview of the more than interesting cocooning trends that have appeared in recent years.
In recent years, trends around cocooning have multiplied, and personally at Bonsoirs, we are a little (a lot) lost.
Let's take a look at these more than interesting trends.
Nesting
N esting (understand making your nest) consists of staying at home on the weekend and snuggling up well in your sheets to enjoy a day of cocooning, a novel or a remote control in your hand. So okay, this idea is not new, but it has democratized to become a real trend with a name, with a relaxing program that we can now assume.
So when you arrive at the office next Monday, rather than lying about your great evening with your friends at the Rancho, fully assume your Netflix evening in front of Breaking Bad, spent in your silky sheets Good evening , because you will surely not be the only ones to have it do.
Hygge
Hygge is a Danish philosophy of life which consists of meeting as simply as possible with loved ones in a warm place to share a moment of life together. The center of this vision of life is the house, your interior must be decorated simply, favor light colors, natural materials, and fill your house with candles (scented for a double use) and very warm plaids to watch a movie in front of Netflix (we love it).
Overall, the Hygge promotes the fact that "happiness is not worth it unless it is shared by all", so surround yourself with your friends, your family, play a game of board games by candlelight and enjoy of the present moment. Denmark being part of the winners of the ranking of the happiest countries since 1973, perhaps we would do well to take inspiration from their philosophy of life!
The Lagom
Lagom was the “feel good” therapy of the year 2017, it is the Swedish version of Hygge which advocates “living better with less”.
In terms of decoration, it is important to have good, rather relaxing lighting, you must also decorate your interior with things that will favor communication and sharing (goodbye sofa in front of the television and hello armchairs around a coffee table). Your decoration should not be too busy, you have to “empty your house to empty your head” and put in the trash all the accessory decorations that you do not want.
Don't forget that this philosophy of “neither too much nor not enough” must be applied to all areas of your life (goodbye huge dressing room with 50% of clothes worn only once). In terms of cooking, favor unprocessed, fresh and local foods… adapt the interior of your fridge to the season and the region in which you are.
The Cosagach
Cosagach is a Scottish trend linked to nature, it consists of getting lost in the Scottish highlands (where your 4G does not pass) and exploring the surrounding nature to refocus on yourself, far from all interference. of today's society. Once your long walk is over, snuggle up in your sheets or your plaid, a large mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows in your hands, in front of the TV for a relaxing moment.
For a total day on the theme of Scotland, immerse yourself in the incredible history of Scotland by embarking on the Netflix series Outlander, Scottish folklore will no longer hold any secrets for you. For those who can't travel to Scotland (and yes, it's not quite ready), the countryside of your region awaits you for some of the most tiring hikes.
If you too want to spend a day alone with yourself to refocus on your life, bring your Bonsoirs sheets for a most cocooning moment.
