Sui Sui Hygge coloring books review: Heaven, Nature and Holiday compared
Sui Sui makes very cute coloring books: round animal characters, thick outlines and readable hygge scenes. Here are the three titles Hygge Heaven, Hygge Nature and Hygge Holiday, what you see in them and who each one suits.
Quick answer
The three books share the same style: rounded characters, thick lines and wide areas. That makes them a comfortable place to start, because you can lay down clean flat color without chasing tiny details.
If you are hesitating: Hygge Heaven for everyday scenes, Hygge Nature for flowers and greenery, Hygge Holiday for travel and vacation. Five or six colors are enough on most pages, and you can see all three books on video before choosing.

Hygge Heaven: everyday scenes
The cover sets the tone: a picnic by the water, a tent, a bear, a rabbit and a fox around a checkered blanket. This is the book to look at if you like group scenes with plenty of small objects around the characters.
Pages like these work well in two passes: large areas first (sky, grass, tent), then the small props at the end. Repeating two or three colors across the accessories keeps the page coordinated instead of looking like a patchwork.
Hygge Nature: flowers, garden and greenery
This one is more botanical: a small bear surrounded by flowers, butterflies, stems and foliage filling the page. It is the most interesting of the three if you want to practice greens and pinks without having to invent a background.
Very floral pages can get busy quickly. The simplest approach is to pick two greens and three flower colors, then repeat them across the whole page instead of changing shade on every bud.
Hygge Holiday: travel and vacation
The third title goes on holiday: a koala pilot, small planes, a pig and a unicorn in the clouds, a big sun. The shapes are even simpler and the areas wider than on the other two covers.
Its particularity: every page shows a different holiday destination around the world. That gives the book a thread, you move from one country to the next instead of coloring unrelated scenes, and it makes it easy to change your color mood on every page.
This is the one I would pick for a first page: few details, well separated objects, and a sky that lets you try a gradient without risking a whole scene.

Covers do not tell you everything. The unboxing on TikTok shows the real size of the books, how thick the paper looks and a few inside pages, so you can get a better idea before choosing.
Which book to choose
| What you want | The book | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Scenes with several characters | Hygge Heaven | Picnics, camping and shared moments between animals |
| Flowers and greenery | Hygge Nature | Gardens, bouquets and readable foliage |
| Travelling from page to page | Hygge Holiday | One holiday destination per page, wide areas, well separated objects |
The three books share the same illustration style, but their themes and average page complexity vary slightly. Hygge Nature tends to be more detailed, while Hygge Holiday feels easier to start with. If one of them works for you, the other two will not surprise you, which is useful when you want to color several pages in a row.
How to color them without overloading the page
- Keep five or six colors per page plus one shadow color: the thick outlines already do part of the work.
- Start with the large areas, add shadows at the end, and leave some white so the drawing does not look saturated.
- With alcohol markers, slide a protective sheet behind the page: this kind of paper often lets the ink through.
- Fine acrylic markers come last, for small white highlights, once the ink is dry.
If you are new to alcohol markers, start with which paper works with alcohol markers: it is the single thing that changes the final result the most.
Key takeaways
- The same style across all three books: round animals, thick lines, wide areas.
- Hygge Heaven for group scenes, Hygge Nature for botanical pages, Hygge Holiday to start.
- Five or six colors are enough, plus one shadow color.
- Always use a protective sheet once you switch to alcohol markers.
