    Urban Jungle Bloggers – Cosy and Green Bedroom

    November 27, 2014

    Well, how grey and dark have the last few days been? It was impossible to get any decent photography done. We bloggers know how to improvise, right?

    Urban Jungle Bloggers is a monthly series, devised by Igor and Judith. The idea is to get some green into our homes, especially for us urban folks! Every month they invite bloggers to share ideas for creating an urban jungle through styling challenges, DIYs, green tips and tricks. Every month there is a different theme on the topic. You can follow and get more Urban Jungle Bloggers inspiration on Pinterest and on Facebook.

    November’s theme is: ‘cosy & green bedroom’

    Without further ado, let me show you snippets of my boudoir!

    This here below is my side of the bed. I have always absolutely loved Kartell’s Componibili Circular Storage Unit which I use as a bedside table. To be honest, I’ve outgrown it and I’ve been looking for a new piece to replace it with little success. My bedroom is quite minimalist as the rest of the flat is rather bright and bold.

    I only have room for small pots and plants on my night table. Succulents are never too far away. During summer months I like to have fresh flowers.

    I LOVE this handmade ceramic vessel which I filled with a spider plant.

    There are actually 2 or 3 different colourways in this fabric. One is Gerusalemme by night. Here I’ve used some creative licence to imagine what this fabric would look like with these colours!

    I found this little gem in a gorgeous little shop. I’m not going to reveal it just yet as I will blog about it soon. It’s not easy to find small and delicate porcelain hanging vases. I thought the air plant was perfect for it and is easy to care for.

    The hanging vase lives in the living room, hanging from a velux window. Sometimes I bring it into the bedroom and hang it from my magazine rack as seen here. Allow me a little creative licence.

    I am a confessed magazine addict. Now, don’t get me wrong. I am all in favour of these new funky online beauties that are springing up everywhere, like the lovely heart…
