So just as we have all got used to the Danish concept of Hygge, we are now being introduced to the concept of Lagom. The loose translation of Lagom is 'not too much, not too little' which neatly explains how you could introduce the idea into your own interior design style.
It's definitely an idea whose time has come as Lagom is all about creating a better, happier, and more balanced everyday life. It's about sustainable living, saving energy and water and creating less waste by recycling more. And as 22nd April is Mother Earth Day we thought now was a great time to talk about becoming a Lagomer.
At home instead of throwing out your old things be they clothes or furniture, think if they can be re-used, given away or up-cycled. When you do buy new products try to find sustainable goods such as bamboo furniture or hemp rugs.
Our hemp rugs are really popular and feature both hemp and jute which are natural plant fibres. Hemp is particularly eco-friendly as it is a plant that grows quickly with little or no chemical fertilisers. Jute, a relative of hemp, is one of the most natural fibres around and together these two plant extracts have been used in textiles for many thousands of years.
Both hemp and jute are durable and versatile which makes them a great rug choice. This collection is particularly suitable for high traffic areas, both indoors and outdoors and is perfect for summer.
The hypoallergenic, natural anti-bacterial and non-irritating quality of these rugs also makes them a popular choice for people suffering from asthma and other allergies.
