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.

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.

FEJKA Artificial potted Cactus (6 cm)

This FEJKA cactus is just beautiful. It looks very natural and the simple design makes it great for any small corner in your home. I have two of these in different spots in my  Skandie office and they look great. This cactus plant can be used indoors and outdoors. I won't be using it outdoors, but I can put it by the window without fearing that the sun will discolour or damage the plastic.

Bamworld 6-Tier White metal Plant Stand

This is such a cool stand. It is very easy to put together and the leaflet instructions and the numeration of the different pieces is clear and easy to follow.. The structure is made of epoxy-coated metal and the stands are made of a wood-like material. I wouldn't place any heavy planter on the stands because although the shelves are sturdy, the whole structure is not the most firm. I have medium sized plants in planter or vases, not too heavy, and they rest comfortably on the shelves. In hindsight, I think the 5-tier shelf would look nicer, at least in my place, but this is still an awesome addition to my study. It has allowed me to get my plants organised and free space around my place, but also use the stand to display some decorative elements. The style is perfect for my scandi style studio.  
 

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.

FEJKA Artificial Potted Herbs (3pc, 5 cm)

This set of tiny plants is super cute and goes well anywhere. I have some of these placed on my living room book shelf, on several surfaces at home, and in my home office. They make great green accents and give me a sense of being surrounded by nature. 

I sometimes use them as they are, in their white pot,and others I place them in medium-sized candle holders, which look like tiny planters,  and they look expensive. 

For the price, you cannot expect high quality artificial plants, but they look great and are durable.  

They can be used indoors or outdoors.

Kmart Diamond Door Mat (100 x 45cm)

I have a long entry aisle at my ground-level unit, so my floor gets quite dirty on rainy days. This mat has been a floor saver. It looks fab in its timeless elegant vintage style. It's also sturdy as the top is made of coconut coir and the back/down made of PVC (so doesn't scratch the wood flooring). As it has a rough surface, I can energetically rub my feet on it and remove all dirt and humidity from my shoes. As the background colour is a clear beige, the mat clearer areas get more noticeably dirty than the brown ones. Yet, this is not a decorative piece; its function is getting dirt out of my shoes and out of my floor. This mat is also rigid. I has to be washed by hand. My preferred way is doing that on a sunny hot day. I throw a bucket of clean water, add delicates laundry liquid and mop it energetically; then, I let it dry under the sun. If you live in an apartment, you can wash it the same way in your shower and then let it dry in your balcony.

Kmart 4pc Acacia Wood Coasters Set

This is such a good quality, good-looking stylish set of coasters. They look fab on my coffee table and are quite thick so they separate any glass/cup from the table glass tabletop, which prevents scratching. I love the wood colour and the fact that integrates beautiful with my home decor. A bit pricier than other Kmart coasters, but they're totally worth it.

SOCKERÄRT Vase/Jug (White, 16 & 22 cm)

I've had this for about 10 years and it still looks on trend and as new. This jug/vase is made of metal coated in a porcelain-like enamel. I've used it mostly as vase but also as stand-alone decor item. This is a timeless modern classic piece that looks beautiful in different rooms and amid different design styles. It's both contemporary in its minimalism and traditional as the Sockerart reminisces of the late-19th and early-20th century Southern European jugs. I delight in contemplation always, because of its creamy whiteness, the porcelain look, and the beautiful curves. The jug comes in two different sizes, and both are great.

FLÅDIS Basket (Seagrass, 25 cm)

I've had two of these since they were first released. During these years, I've given them multiple uses and placed them in different rooms: magazines holder, umbrella holder, stand-alone decor item, laundry and crafts materials storage, to leave a winter throw in winter, and anything else you can imagine. I've used them both folded or unfolded depending on the room I placed them and the use I give them. They have an African flair to me, something that I love. They're made of sturdy flexible seagrass. Unlike other seagrass basketry, it doesn't shade at all. These baskets are super-easy to store away because of their flexibility and foldable design. The natural seagrass colour is beautiful and blends well with any home decor. The craftsmanship is fantastic.
