If we look up the term “Slow Deco” in the dictionary, we’ll find that it translates to “slow decorating,” and that’s exactly what this style of decorating aims to achieve. With this approach, we’ll transform our home into a space where you can unwind, find a calmer pace of life, and escape the stress of everyday life.
But do you want to know the secrets to this style? Keep reading and embrace the Slow style!
Materials and Colors
To achieve this decorating style, you need to opt for natural materials in your furniture —such as wood and fibers—that bring warmth and comfort to your home.
In addition, it shares many similarities with the Nordic style, which is why soft, neutral colors—such as white, beige, and gray—should be used both in the materials and on the walls to create “relaxing spaces.”
The Importance of Good Lighting
As you might expect, light is very important, so natural light is even better. A home with plenty of natural light—especially one decorated in light, natural tones— appears larger and makes you want to spend more time there.
In addition, open, interconnected spaces with as few partitions as possible also help create this feeling.
The kitchen and a place to relax are essential
“Slow” homes feature a space where you can unwind even more—whether to read, rest, play, or even sleep.
Another essential space (and probably one of the most frequently used) is the kitchen.
The kitchen is a room where, aside from spending a few hours there preparing meals, everyone always ends up gathering whenever we have guests. To make it as “Slow” as possible, it’s essential to have a large table or counter where people can eat, work, or just hang out.
Do you have an outdoor space? Make the most of it!
If you want your outdoor space—whether small or large—to have a “slow” style, decorate it with furniture that you can use both indoors and outdoors. In other words, try to create a connection between the furniture in both areas by using natural materials.
Also, if you can, add some plants and flowers to bring in bright colors and give you the chance to do an extra activity at home.
What about you—are you getting into the “Slow” decor trend?
