To Have or to Be? That is the Question.
These days, it’s easy to fall into the trap of consumerism, sales, and buying low-quality products in bulk. If you’re excited about Black Friday, you’re not alone. Our brains love sales, which is why we buy things we don’t really need.
More and more people are realizing this and are starting to control their shopping habits. If you feel like it's time to get off the fast-paced consumerism train, we invite you to the world of slow life . Here, BEING is more important than HAVING, and peace, balance and harmony are the effects of conscious choices. The slow philosophy works not only in everyday life, but also when arranging the space in which we live.
What is slow life?
Slow down. Breathe. Observe.
Too many responsibilities, 4-hour sleep and weekend shopping trips to the supermarkets are a sure way to get tired, irritated and have health problems. Although coaching mentors still make a fortune by preaching the rules of pushing your limits, giving 200% and leaving your comfort zone, more and more people are realizing that it is building a comfort zone and balance is a way to achieve harmony and a sense of security.
Feel. Rest. Live.
Listen to the rhythm of your heart. This is your inner rhythm. Your heart is not racing like crazy, but is beating at an even, harmonious pace. So why should you rush? "Someone please stop the world, I'm getting off" – sang Anna Maria Jopek, pointing out that "life is for living, before the thread in the spinning wheel breaks".
Reduce. Save. Eliminate.
Slow living is about making everyday choices about both your lifestyle and your shopping habits. Slow living goes hand in hand with zero waste , or generating the least amount of waste possible. From the decision to abandon plastic bottles in favor of a filter jug, to purchasing bedroom accessories. Go for quality, not quantity . High-quality textiles or furniture will last for years, so what may seem like a large expense is actually a long-term investment.
Slow life in interior design
The slow style involves liberating oneself from excess objects and preferring good quality products over cheap, mass-produced accessories. Slow life is directly related to minimalism, so arranging in the spirit of slow means quality, naturalness and harmony . Put your preferences first, forgetting for a moment about what is fashionable. Fashion passes, and the key to a beautiful interior is the selection of materials and colors that make you feel good and safe.
Don't chase trends that change quickly. Instead, focus on universal forms and neutral colors , which you can easily match with accessories. At moyha, we value soothing colors, which we find inspiration in nature when designing our collections. Choose soothing, universal colors, in the company of which you feel good and comfortable, such as shades of gray, beige, straw or subdued green.. A limited color palette gives sense of security and makes it possible for everyone to create a beautiful and cozy interior.
Slow life in interior design excludes intense colors that are not conducive to rest and concentration. Bright pink, blood red or fluorescent green should definitely be omitted when planning the bedroom decor. If you like these colors, you can smuggle them in as small accessories.
In a slow arrangement, there can be no shortage of green plants , which provide the right acoustics, purify the air and improve well-being. Instead of colorful pots, choose neutral ones decorative bags made of cellulose, which are not only functional but also environmentally friendly. You can “dress” both potted plants and your favorite herbs, such as basil, mint or cilantro, in our bags.
A bedroom in the spirit of slow
BALANCE = BALANCE This is the motto that has guided us from the very beginning. We created moyha to combine comfort with simple design and prove that constantly following trends does not bring happiness. Our bodies were made for cuddling – that’s when we feel safe and comfortable. Cold bedding with embroidered decorations may look impressive, but it’s definitely not something our skin will love. At moyha we create soft textiles that envelop – for those who prefer TO BE rather than TO HAVE.
Bedroom is a unique interior that you have all to yourself. This is not a room where you invite friends for coffee - it is a private kingdom of peace that belongs only to you. So make sure that bedroom has become your refuge and sanctuary, arranging it exactly as you like. Being always busy is not a measure of ambition or success. The measure of satisfaction with life is simply BEING – here and now. Celebrate moments and consciously choose the products you put in your bedroom.
Hug a blanket to your heart, take a blanket on your lap
In slow arrangements, unique designs from small companies, as well as crafts and handicrafts, work best. Have you ever seen your chain store bedding in an American series? If so, imagine the scale on which textiles are produced by the giants of the industry.
High quality and unique design are the essence of moyha textiles. Harmony and balance guide us at every step - both in everyday life and at work. Our blankets, bed linen, pillows and bedspreads They are therefore created in such a way that all textiles work together seamlessly.
Linen is an element without which it is difficult to imagine good, healthy sleep. In slow arrangements we focus on our own needs, so it is worth taking care of linen was made of soft and delicate knit fabric that is breathable and skin-friendly. We like to say about our knit bedding that it is made of cotton like your favorite t-shirt.
Pillows You can never have too many, so make sure to fill the entire headboard with them. Cuddling with your favorite pillows makes it easier to fall asleep, and comfortable reading a book in bed is only possible with pillows that support your back. You can choose larger sizes of bedding pillows or opt for decorative pillows. Choose those that will be nice and pleasant to the skin, e.g. those made of thick and soft cotton from the collection JAK ULUBIONA BLUZA.
Plaid are every chilly person's favorite gadget. Fleshy, non-biting and warm like your favorite sweater - that's what they are blankets moyha, which you can wrap yourself in at any time of day and year. Because you don't have to wait until the evening to relax under soft and skin-friendly knitwear!
Bedspreads they perform not only a decorative function, but also effectively replace a blanket. Soft overlay made of wool or cotton, it protects the bedding from dust and dirt, and at the same time makes the interior cozy and harmonious.
Have you ever heard of JOMO?
Some time ago there was a lot of talk about FOMO (Focus On Mood). fear of missing out ), or the fear of missing out. This is where we find the roots of addiction to social media and news services. The complete opposite of FOMO is JOMO (English: joy of missing out ), so enjoying what we miss and consciously giving up the excess of information that overloads our brain and makes it difficult to relax. JOMO fits perfectly into the slow life philosophy, showing that what is most important happens not outside of us - but inside us.
Arrange your bedroom in the spirit of slow with moyha textiles and celebrate every moment spent in your kingdom of peace, taking care of yourself every day!
Warm hugs,
