Interior Design Ideas for Slow Living
Slow living is a movement that focuses on doing things better, not faster, to create a meaningful and conscious lifestyle. It’s about appreciating each moment and being truly present.

So let’s take a look at some ways to create a home that invites us to slow down and appreciate the moment.

It’s been going strong ever since but lately we’ve been hearing about a shift away from this warm, welcoming and comfortable style. Yet, we’re still seeing a lot of its in...

    I was just enjoying a fika without realizing I was enjoying a fica! Thank you for the extra bit of education. It's good to know that I've been indulging in slow living for some time although trying to get members of my family to slow down has been a somewhat larger challenge. I love all the elements involved in this movement as there is no one look or way to do this but as many looks and ways as there are people! Thank you, Liz, for your wonderful videos and advice!

    Whoever came up with open concept must have fallen and hit their head. You could not even give me a house that is open concept. Who wants a Kitchen in there Livingroom, give me a wall and separate all the spaces. I do not want to be relaxing in the Livingroom watching TV and hear people in the Kitchen rattling dishes, pots and pans and talking, or a dining room in your Livingroom and all you hear is people sitting around the table talking. What a stupid design, each room needs its own space with walls and entry ways, maybe with doors, you can decorate each space with the theme of that space. I do not like sitting in the Livingroom, look to my left or right and see my Fridge and a Kitchen counter, how stupid is that.

    Would swiss coffee work in an open concept space with lots of light & high ceilings (French oak wide plank floors)?

    • @BalanceRhythm

      Swiss Coffee is really versatile, a little on the warm side. I think it would look great but you have to test it out in your space.

    I live in a farm house so it’s hard to avoid. I’m not into trends, so you’ll never see farm signs or barn doors in my home. It’s pretty obvious where I live! I’m keeping my neutral palette with its touches of green in cushions, bedding etc, which reflect the environment in which I live. For me subtle decor is key.

  • @4WallsDesigns
    @4WallsDesigns 18 днів тому

    My POV…Farmhouse, modern farmhouse, any farmhouse is on the outskirts of true home design. Shiplap,paneling,barn doors , whitewashed wood (gray/taupes) are well loved by many but uninteresting.

  • @janine4360
    @janine4360 19 днів тому

    What a great video! I agree with your assessment, Liz. No need to throw the baby out with the bath water. But I do think any farmhouse style looks out of place in the city or suburbs. We just bought a farmhouse on ten acres in a rural, agricultural area. I’m looking forward to finally using some of my antiques, but I’ll forego the word art and barn door - except on our barn itself!

  • @Shiryone
    @Shiryone 19 днів тому

    Modern farmhouse can be incorporated into most styles, especially Scandinavian which is my favorite. I had to use a barndoor for our master bathroom because of a design error in our new home. It worked out fine as there are plenty of styles to choose from.

  • @annshere2525
    @annshere2525 19 днів тому

    Another great video. Thank you! I have a home in the country and I lean towards some elements of modern farmhouse. I love textured blends of neutrals that look warm and comfortable, but really don't like the use of heavy black metal fixtures or distressed finishes on furniture. To me, the good parts of modern farmhouse are the tasteful but practical use of natural materials with contemporary lines. I suppose that my version of modern farmhouse is very close to scandi or organic modern.

    I think the elegance look is moving in. Gold is featuring a lot in hardware and picture frames. And the dark colour walls and the antique look are in. Still cosy like farmhouse but with an elegant, expensive look.

  • @ninaotan7811
    @ninaotan7811 19 днів тому

    The farmhouse style has a lot of common with the Scandinavian one: real timber, light colour pallet, use of metal details. But it seems to me that in the Nord they look more refined.
