If you’ve ever spent a rainy Sunday afternoon cuddled up in bed with a warm cup of tea, then you’ve experienced the magical feeling of hygge.

You may ask: what is hygge? Pronounced 'hoo-ga', it is a Danish concept that brings about feelings of cosiness, comfort, and contentment by enjoying the simple things in life.

In recent years, hygge has become increasingly popular, especially in home decor – think bonfires, candles, ambient lighting, and fluffy blankets. While we may not get to enjoy cold winters in Singapore, you can still incorporate hygge style into your home this time of year.

As Christmas draws near, it is the perfect occasion to turn your home into a cosy hygge wonderland – complete with a towering Christmas tree, twinkling lights, and other festive decorations – with the help of Masons Home Decor.

Arguably the largest Christmas store in Singapore, Masons Home Decor is a one-stop shop for all things festive. This homegrown brand offers everything you’d need under one roof: Christmas trees, ornaments, wreaths, and other decorative must-haves.

Feeling stressed about decorating your home for Christmas? Fret not: here’s a step-by-step guide on how to create a cosy and inviting hygge home this holiday season.

Step 1: Pick the perfect Christmas tree

Real fir trees look and smell great but they can be difficult to maintain. Masons’ hyper realistic German-engineered artificial trees are better than the real deal. The best part? No one will be able to tell the difference!

All Masons trees are crafted with FirTECT™ technology to ensure they are dense, durable, and extremely life-like. Perfect for first-time Christmas tree owners, they are also extremely easy to set up, and will not take you more than ten minutes. Starting from just $59, these trees come in a variety of sizes, heights and densities for you to choose from.

Step 2: Adorn your Christmas tree

Now comes the fun part: decorating! You’ll be spoilt for choice with the plethora of baubles, tree toppers, and lights Masons has to offer.

Going for a classic Christmas theme? You’ll love the traditional red and gold ornaments with a gorgeous flannel tree ribbon and sparkling star topper. If you prefer something more minimalist and monochromatic, opt for the stylish mother-of-pearl baubles, 3D snowflakes and silver pine cones.

If decorating isn’t your forte, don’t worry! Masons’ starter kits will come to your rescue. Each kit comes with a 5- or 6-foot tree, a topper, a box of tree baubles and two sets of LED string lights.

Step 3: It’s all about (mood) lighting

Lighting plays a big part in creating a cosy ambience in any living space. Our fool-proof way? Candles – especially if they come in classic holiday scents such as cedarwood, pine, nutmeg or spiced pumpkin.

Of course, lighting up your Christmas tree is a must. Masons’ CE-certified Christmas Tree LED String Lights come in three variations – Pure White, Warm White or Multi-Coloured – and different modes to suit different decorating themes. They are also equipped with a connectable plug that allows you to join multiple strings of lights together if you’re decorating a bigger tree.

Step 4: Add cosy finishes to your living space

A hygge home feels warm and inviting in every corner, so don’t neglect other areas of your living space! Interior experts recommend adding cosy touches to your floors and walls such as rugs, paintings, throw blankets, and tablecloths for the full hygge effect.

Come Christmastime, Masons is just the place to get a wide variety of festive decorations such as wreaths, garlands, figurines, and faux flowers. Christmas wouldn’t be complete without our favourite holiday characters like the Nutcracker or gnome. Wreaths are also a great way to decorate your doors and entrances to welcome guests into your home.
