Slow living trend

Slow living is becoming more and more of a trend

And that is not so strange. We have a thousand things to do in a day and we often run out of time. That is why it is so important that we also rest, enjoy and live more consciously, so that our life does not pass us by, because time goes by fast enough. Roeloffs believes that scented candles, interior scents and home decorations fit in perfectly with the slow living philosophy because they create a relaxing living environment and turn your house into a real home, because that is the power of a slow living interior.

But what is slow living?

Slow living is about consciously choosing to live your life at a slower pace. Enjoy the moment, in the moment. Connect with yourself and your surroundings, so you appreciate what you have. Slow living emphasizes consciously slowing down, mindfulness so that you make room for relaxation and inner peace.

A slow living interior

More than just decoration. A slow living interior does not mean that you have to throw everything away, clean everything up or adjust all the colours in your home. No, you can also do this very well by creating corners with small decorative items that radiate the calm and inviting atmosphere of the slow living philosophy. Make a corner in your living room free and place a luxurious scented candle and scented sticks on a handmade bowl. Not only contributes to the appearance of your interior, but also to your sense of well-being in your own home.

Luxury scented candles

Fragrance plays a very important role in creating a calming atmosphere. The luxurious scented candles in our range are all handmade and designed with slow living intention. Our scented candles are available in various scents that have a positive effect on your well-being. Take the Inner Peace scented candle as an example, this is perfect for moments of meditation and relaxation. The scented candles in glass, such as the Lavender - Chamomile , add a touch of elegance to your interior.

Slow living decoration

Home decoration is an important item in a slow living interior. Handmade items give a unique and personal touch to your interior. The home accessories such as the Tealight holder Yin&Yang and the Cloud bowl , are designed to bring peace and harmony. Each item of home decoration is made with the intention to connect and slow down, you feel this in the appearance when you place your unique piece in your home.

Luxurious fragrance sticks and strong room spray

In addition to scented candles, we also have fragrance sticks and room sprays in our range that contribute to a harmonious home. The Inner Peace fragrance sticks spread a long-lasting and constant soothing scent through the room where you place them. The strong room spray Cuban Dreams spreads a fresh scent quickly and very effectively. These fragrance products are perfect for anyone who wants instant relaxation with a pleasant scent.

My tips for a slow living interior

1. Less clutter: Start by tidying up the cluttered corners of your home, I'm not saying you should get rid of all the unnecessary stuff. But look at the places in my home where I collect all sorts of things without really tidying them up
2. Natural materials: Decoration of natural materials, such as wood, stone or Jesmonite. This brings warmth and peace to your interior.
3. Calming colours: Use calming colours such as soft shades of beige or white. Can you not use harder colours in your home? Anything goes. Make sure you have places in your home that radiate pure peace.
4. Plants: Plants are not only beautiful, they also bring nature into your home and improve air quality. Our handmade candle pots are perfect to use as plant pots after the candle has burned out.
5. Personal: Make your interior personal, with items that have meaning to you. Think of a photo on slate or handmade decorations.

The slow living trend

As you now know, slow living is the opposite of the hectic modern lifestyle. When we consciously slow down and connect in the moment, we can enjoy more peace and balance in our daily lives. I support this slow living philosophy, because I know from my own experience how important it is to also take a moment for yourself. In a house with 2 young children, toys are often everywhere during the day. But people still like to come to my home. Because my slow living interior radiates peace and always smells nice, even with 2 dogs in the house. Whether you are looking for luxury scented candles, handmade home decoration, with me you will find everything you need to join the slow living trend and improve your interior and well-being.
