The Danish concept of hygge and the Swede’s lagom have dominated design trends in the last two years. But now another northern nation has decided to jump on the bandwagon, and from bonny Scotland comes còsagach.
It’s a Gaelic word, described as the feeling of being snug, sheltered and warm. Còsagach is all about embracing the outdoors from the indoors. Scottish tourism body, VisitScotland, who identified the trend, says it can be achieved in all seasons.
Like hygge, it encourages being cosy, so in terms of interior design this means natural textures and hues, a fireplace and snug blankets.
Còsagach joins the likes of other international concepts and ways of living such as wabi-sabi, ikigai (both Japanese) and gezelligheid (Dutch) influencing interior design.
