Create your Green Oasis with #IKEAatmine

Urban Jungle Bloggers x IKEA UK x At Mine

A beautiful home is more than the sum of its parts. It is a personal place defined by the people and things we love, it is defined by our life and it defines our life. A real personal home is also a visual identity of its dwellers – it reflects the owner’s personality and character. Today we not only seek comfort, design, and uniqueness in our homes, we also long for a connection to nature. Through houseplants we invite nature into our homes and we blend the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. And by doing so we not only create a warm and beautiful home, but we also enhance the quality of life by making our home a better and healthier place.

Urban Jungle Bloggers x IKEA UK x At Mine Incorporating plants into interiors is truly a simple task. In our Urban Jungle book we have showed five incredibly creative, lived-in, and unique homes where green oases are scattered throughout the rooms. The secret is in choosing the plants that fit your lifestyle and starting your urban jungle on a small scale. Just like your home, let it grow with you and become more personal and more thriving over time.

Urban Jungle Bloggers x IKEA UK x At MineIn March we want to encourage you to share your green oases with us. We have teamed up with IKEA UK and the interiors community at{mine} for their monthly #IKEAatmine campaign on Instagram and our chosen topic was pretty obvious: Green oasis. In order to give you an idea, we as Urban Jungle Bloggers founders have created our own little green oases featuring some of our favorite houseplants and IKEA pieces that we have at home. Igor showcases his favorite bedroom corner with a lush mix of tropical plants and succulents while Judith features a corner of her living room with one of Ikea’s latest pieces, the IKEA PS 2017 self-watering plant stand. bonus veren siteler

December 2016: Plants & Light

Urban Jungle Bloggers: Plants & Light

December has well advanced and the festive vibe is on! The darker season is not only marked by cold temperatures (at least here in the northern hemisphere) and festive decorations, it is also the season of warm lights and cosy moments. Thus we want to celebrate the end of the year with a warm, inviting and cosy edition putting Plants & Light in focus.

Here are the interpretations of plants and light by our Urban Jungle Bloggers community. Get inspired, enjoy, and happy festive season!

November 2016: Creative Plant Pots

Urban Jungle Bloggers in November 2016: Creative Plant Pots

Plants are beautiful – we all agree on that! Yet we like to accentuate the plants’ beauty with adequate and nice plant pots. However, sometimes it is really difficult to find creative, inspiring and unusual planters besides the normal terracotta and monochrome plant pots from the garden center, don’t you agree? That’s why we want to use November’s topic to highlight and share our favorite plant pots and sources where to find them. All these bloggers show us their plant pots, and how they compliment their plants and interior style.

Top image by our friends from Livingthings: we just love their cool Voltasol pots!

June 2016: One Plant – Three Stylings

Urban Jungle Bloggers in June 2016: 1 Plant 3 Stylings

Those of you who have been part of our community from the beginning may remember the topic: 1 Plant – 3 Stylings. In June we want to challenge your inner (plant) stylist once more: Pick your favorite plant and show us three different stylings with it. Scandi – boho – industrial? Or on a sideboard, in the kitchen, on the balcony? Well here are the ideas of our green community!

To make June extra special, we have teamed up with the interiors community at{mine} where we are long time members already. The community even has its own category called Urban Jungle and we simply invite you to join at{mine} and upload at least one of your plant stylings to the “Urban Jungle” category. We will shortlist our favorite plant stylings on at{mine} as of today (June 23rd 2016), when we launch this month’s topic. The styling with the most likes on at{mine} will win a fabulous SONY compact camera with Wi-Fi! The winner will be announced on June 30th 2016. Good luck!
