What is slow decoration?
When we talk about the “slow” concept, it is a movement that encourages us to take a step back from our way of life, to take our time and enjoy every moment. We will, for example, be able to reflect on our way of consuming. All this with the aim of devoting value to the present and to sensations.
Slow decoration is based on different principles:
- It has an ecological aspect: with a view to respecting the environment, the goal is to consume differently by using renewable resources, by choosing sustainable and recyclable products.
- It also has an ethical side: this means that the conditions in which the object was produced must respect the health of the craftsmen, offer them attractive remuneration and banish child labour.
- It highlights the art of recovery and upcycling, that is to say that we will try to do with what we already have on hand.
- Natural materials such as wood, terracotta, sandstone, marble, linen, cotton, etc. are honoured.
- Finally, it focuses on simplicity. We will thus opt for simple shapes, pure lines and functional objects.
Slow decoration awakens all our senses, for example:
- touch with soft and soothing materials;
- the sense of smell by diffusing scents that remain light and natural;
- the view by adopting rather relaxing and delicate colors. You can let the light in with objects that reflect it like mirrors, for example. In addition, for a natural decoration, adopt plants.

The sawyer sideboard – Scandinavian style
Sawyer sideboard ash veneer 3 doors
For a slow interior, the sawyer sideboard will look great.
- Thanks to its 3 storage spaces closed by doors, you can store everything that does not deserve to be displayed out of sight. You will thus benefit from 3 cupboards each measuring 50 cm high by 53 cm wide and all equipped with a shelf.
- Its structure made of MDF wood panels veneered in ash wood gives it a warm and natural design.
- Its lines are simple and clean. Only the asymmetrical legs bring a small contemporary touch to the piece of furniture.
- It will easily find its place in a dining room or in a living room.
- To stay in a slow style, be careful not to overload its upper shelf with various trinkets. For example, you can just put a plant and a nice decorative object. For a Zen spirit, you can also place a few candles on it.
We particularly like this piece of furniture with its simple and warm design. It is a functional sideboard that will be perfectly suited to a “slow” decoration.

You can install the SOFIA bedside table next to your bed so you can store your things when you go to bed. But it can be used differently. We can easily imagine this practical little piece of furniture in other rooms of the house, such as in the entrance, the living room, etc. You can then install a plant on it and it will offer you small storage spaces. On a technical level:
- It is made from particle board for the structure and solid wood for the legs. It is a solid piece of furniture that you will enjoy for a long time.
- It offers two drawers and a niche for you to store small items.
- It measures 45 cm wide for a height of 65 cm and a depth of 29.5 cm.
We especially appreciate its design. Indeed, its light wood structure is highlighted by the white of the bottom drawer, which brings it brightness. As for the patterns on the top drawer, they give it a touch of originality.
