Are you ready to go slow in your home?
The slow design movement is understood as very much a response to the current culture of “fast” –, consumption and lifestyle. It’s about creating calm and tranquility, minimising clutter and distraction and making sure that your space works for you.
Think earthy, natural materials paired with simple neutral walls. Fairtrade trinkets and hardy wood furniture that provides a sense of minimalism, but with an edge. While these investment pieces can often get expensive, the encouragement of shopping second hand ensures that it remains accessible for all.
If you’re looking to dip a toe into slow movement, why not try an independent marketplace like Etsy for some handmade ceramics. Pick something sturdy but stylish, in a neutral tone. If you’re ready to commit more, you’ll never go wrong with a sturdy wooden dresser, which can easily be upcycled with some wood stain or paint.Sign up for the latest news and must-read features from Stylist, so you don't miss out on the conversation.
