VATTENKRASSE Plant Mister (35 cl)

I couldn't resist this vintage-looking mister. I have several plastic plant misters, but I bought this mostly for decoration purposes. I have it indoors as part of my indoors artificial garden and looks fabulous. I've used it to water some plants and the mist that it produces is just OK, not the finest out there.  

Many reviews mention that the mister doesn't work perfectly and that the nozzle breaks easily or stops working soon, but I use this mostly as decoration so I haven't experienced this.

Bamworld Bamboo Corner T5 Indoor Plant Stand (Tea Brown)

Although technically a 5-tier stand, the first tier is actually on the floor, so it's more a 4-tier one.  It is made of  tea brown coated bamboo, and it goes perfectly with the furniture in my living room. I love anything made from bamboo as the material is always sturdy, durable and light to carry. It holds medium sized plants quite well, saves spaces and really enhances my living room. 
 
I had trouble putting this together mostly due to the poor assembly leaflet. The printing font and photos are tiny and the printing quality terrible, so some of the elements were not clearly printed. I had to take an enlarged photo of each section and proceed from there. I wouldn't have been difficult at all if the leaflet had been printed properly.  
 
MIND = Load capacity 9 kg per shelf. Max plant diameter 18 cm.

KLYNNON Handmade Bamboo Plant Pot (13Hx 12D cm)

This is a mostly decorative handmade bamboo weaved planter with a plastic insert. If you use it with a real plant, the insert will prevent any leakage into the outer shell. If you use it with an artificial plant, it will give it an air of reality. I love the rustic organic feeling of this pot and it goes great with any neutral and/or Scandy space.
 
Materials = Pot, bamboo and clear acrylic lacquer. Insert, PET plastic.
MIND =  Mostly for indoors use as bamboo needs of even cool dry environments.

DVÄRGSLINKE Decorative Horse (13Hx12L cm)

I'm a sucker for black and white anything that have clean design lines that look expensive but are affordable and good quality. This fits the brief! Ain't specially into horse decor, but this an exception, but his Dala Horse is an exemption. This is a gorgeous item of decoration that fits well in spaces with minimalist decor and neutral palette as well as home offices. I really love it. 
 
Designer = IKEA of Sweden. 
Materials = Solid pine, Tinted clear polyurethane lacquer.

TRATTKAKTUS Cushion cover (50x50 cm)

This is an statement cushion cover that fits most Ikea cushion pads. The motifs are based on Sweden's folk imagery and palette. It's printed in vibrant neat colours and looks as good as in the photos. The Trattkaktus lifts up any space decorated in neutral colours, like my office. It 's a gorgeous accent. It's made of 100% cotton and the fabric has a nice canvas-like texture. I haven't washed it yet, so I cannot comment on that.   

Designer = Eva Lundgree.

Care =  Machine wash, max 40°C, normal setting. Don't bleach, tumble dry or dry clean. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Iron max 150°C.

KVASTSPIREA Plant Pot (Indoors & Outdoors) (12 cm)

The Kvastspirea plant pot is really simple and elegant and looks great indoors and outdoors. I have one of these with an artificial plant and makes it look really stylish and more realistic. It is very light to carry from one place to another, as well. It can be used with real plants as long as the real plant is potted in a suitable pot and you use this to hold that pot. so it's mostly decorative.

Designer = Lisa Hilland.

Materials = Steel, Polyester powder coating.

 Measurements = Height 13 cm. Inside diameter 13 cm. Max. diameter flowerpot 12 cm. Outside diameter 15 cm.

SATSUMAS Plant stand (78H cm)

This is a very easy to assemble plant shelf. It's great  to hold small and medium-size plants, photos, pictures and decor items. I have a mix of them all and it looks fab. Due to its triangular different levels shape, it's perfect for corner areas. I love the Scandy traditional bamboo and white metal combo. The bamboo is solid but the piece isn't heavy at all. Not a cheap plant stand, but it's good quality and really great design.

LOMVIKEN Frame (black) (32x32 cm)

I love the LOMVIKEN frames series. This minimalist frame looks very elegant, and it looks way more expensive that it is. The acid-free warm white passepartout (mount) mixed with the matte black fine frame are a very elegant combo. Like other Ikea frames, the glass is actually glass-looking clear plastic. It looks totally translucent, but it won't break if it falls down or you move houses. 
 
This size is the only square in the line. Depending on whether you use the passepartout or not, you can fit in larger or smaller pictures. This size can be mixed and matched with the other sizes and formats to create a wall mural or gallery. 
 
The back wall mount is also included. I miss this line lacking a stand support at the back, like other Ikea frame lines have, which would have made it more versatile. 
 
Very easy to assemble.

KLYNNON Handmade Bamboo Plant Pot (12 cm)

This is a simply beautiful bamboo pot that goes great with Skandi decor. It is very light, so it doesn't add any weight to the pot I use it with. It comes with a plastic low container (saucer kinda), which prevents any leaked water from affecting the bamboo. I use it with one of my artificial plants, and it looks fabulous. The different sizes of the pot have different waving patterns, something I love, as I intend to buy them. Indoors only.

PELARKORSBAR Cushion cover (50x50 cm)

This is an abstracted botanical cover, which I love. It's very cool and edgy, and goes well with minimalist decor and Scandi offices. Great for reclining chairs. It can be easily removed via the zip.  I haven't washed it yet, so I will comment on my experience when I do, but it's made of 100% polyester so I expect it to be durable and keep the colours for a long time.  Not two Pelarkorsbar cushions are identical as they're made from random-cut pieces from the same fabric. As this polyester, the fabric isn't especially nice to touch.

INNER Soft Cushion pad (50x50 c)

I don't like this cushion pad. It is too flat and formless so it doesn't look good on its own or as an accent cushion, no matter how pretty the cover. It is not firm or plump so this is more appropriate for a reclining chair, or the floor, than anything else. 

Designer IKEA of Sweden

Materials

Fabric: 100% polypropylene. Filling: 100 % polyester - hollow fibre (100% recycled)

MIND

It can be used outdoors but store away indoors when not in use.

TKAS Artificial Rose Arrangement in Ceramic Vase (White)

A small bouquet of artificial white roses that looks good anywhere. For the price, I didn't expect high quality, but it looks great and quality is OK. The vase is ceramic and the flowers are some sort of acrylic fabric. The bouquet is small but chic, and visually enhances small empty spaces around my home.
