YOUR NATURAL LIVING SPACE
Photograph/Living Etc.
We so underestimate the power of nature in our home - natural elements of real wood, fire, earth (crystals and ceramics), water and fresh pure air.
Be it your living area or your bedroom, these natural elements resonate with our selves and our space to bring more harmony and balance into our lives. Many believe it gives a healing vibe - as we are pure nature too - and they are naturally recyclable with our world as opposed to plastics.
WOOD is a breathable, pure product and makes great natural flooring. Bare feet on wooden floor is meant to help ground us according to Shaymans, so bare your feet for a peaceful 10 minutes to breathe slowly and find a moment of calm (doesn’t quite work with laminate)! Fill your home with treasured wooden objets d’art, from angel wings to carvings of animals.

FIRE creates the heartbeat of any home: it’s the Danish hygge effect. That’s why our passion for the flame, from the hearth to a flickering candle, adds cosiness, comfort and a sense of calm. A flame is warming, soporific and nurturing: it gives a focal point to any living space - from log fire, woodburner to a collection of candles on a table or mantelpiece - it helps to draw the eye to this natural phenomenon, whatever the size of the room or home. Candles are also a great way to change the environment of your home: not only by lowering the lighting and the ambience, but also with the different aromas - just please keep it pure and natural. Avoid mineral-based, paraffin-wax candles that give off diesel fumes that can be toxic to a confined space (often leading to headaches) - and seek out purer plant essential oil fragrances - the purer your candle, the better your senses and your mood.
