SATSUMAS Plant stand (78 cm H)

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 Scandi 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.
