    Trendy, customizable and for any wallet! Let’s make your own Christmas tree ornament with words made out of Scrabble letters. Decorate your tree with little words, like classic Christmas sayings (“Let It Snow”, or “Merry Christmas”) or the names of your loved ones. It’s a DIY that can easily be done with your kids!

    For this DIY, you’ll need:

    • Scrabble letters (you can recycle your old board games, or buy some online as they are very cheap).
    • Felt sheets
    • Glue
    • Pen
    • Small decorations such as bows, fake snow, etc.
    • Ribbon or string
    1. Start by choosing and assembling the words you want to hang. Position the letters on a sheet of felt in any way you like (you can even mix and match, Scrabble-style!)
    2. Using your pen, trace the outline of your words so you have a pattern on your felt sheet.
    3. Cut out your pattern inside the lines, so that your cut-out is smaller than your original outline.
    4. Then simply glue your letters onto your cut-out felt to assemble your words!
    5. Let’s customize! You can glue little bows, fake snow, glitter, to your cut-out. And don’t forget to glue a little loop of ribbon or string to the back so you can hang your personalized Christmas ornament!

    2. Customized Christmas Ornament: Hanging Teacup

    Another creative and original DIY tutorial for kids! We’re continuing our Christmas tree decoration theme with an ornamental teacup. 


    For this tutorial, get your hands on:

    • A teacup
    • Paint and brushes
    • Glue
    • Little Christmas decoration trinkets
    • A rubbon
    1. Pick a cup that’s not too heavy, so you can hang it on your tree. You can choose a cup with a design you already like, or go for a shape you like that you can personalize later.
    2. Customize your cup to your taste by painting the inside and outside. You can select colors that match the rest of your decor this year!
    3. Create a small decorative scene on the inside of your cup by gluing small trinkets, such as pine trees, snowmen or even candy canes. You can choose to have them stick out of your cup, or tilt your cup (with the handle up) to display the scene inside, like a picture frame. Let your imagination run wild!
    4. All that’s left to do is wrap the ribbon around the cup handle and hang your personalized bauble on the tree!

    3. Creates Your Own Snow Globe From Recycled Old Jars

    Snow globes are a Christmas classic. Kids love them, and adults do too! With this DIY tutorial, discover how to make your own personalized snow globes from recycled jars. 


    For this tutorial, here’s your list to Santa: 

    • A glass jar (for example, an old jam jar or pickle jar)
    • Little decoration trinkets
    • Glycerin
    • Fake snowflakes or silver glitter
    • Water
    1. Once you’ve cleaned your jar thoroughly, choose where you’d like to place your scene: you can glue the elements to the underside of the lid or to the bottom of the jar, whichever is easier for you
    2. Design your own little scene, with a snowman, a little deer, a pine tree… Pick trinkets that will withstand prolonged exposure to water.
    3. Then, fill your jar with water and a little glycerine, and add the fake snowflakes and glitter. 
    4. Close with the lid, turn your jar over and discover your customized snow globe in action!

    4. Reuse Tin Cans As Candles

    For our latest DIY, let’s keep on with the recycling trend by reusing tin cans as customized candles! Get ready for cosy evenings under the plaid with these decorative DIY candles.

    To craft your candles, you will need:

    • To craft your candles, you will need:
    • A tin can (small, medium or large, everything works!)
    • Candle wicks (available online)
    • A saucepan
    • A pen or chopsticks
    1. Once you’ve cleaned your cans thoroughly, place your wicks at the bottom, using a pen or chopsticks extended across the top of the can to hold them upright (you can wrap them around to secure them). To make this easier, opt for wicks that are taller than your can. Depending on the circumference of your can, you can use up to 3 wicks, positioned in a triangle, for example.
    2. In a saucepan (as it is quite messy, we recommend an old saucepan you no longer use!), melt the wax pieces from your candles over low heat. Make sure the wax thoroughly and turns liquid!
    3. Very gently pour the melted wax into your can, taking care not to move the wicks (you can ask for help around you if you want to secure them during the transfer).
    4. All that’s left to do is to place your candle in a quiet corner while the wax hardens. Don’t forget to trim off the excess wick once your candle has solidified!
    5. A little bonus: personalization! Feel free to paint your tin cans, add ribbons or tartan motifs, and create your very own customized Christmas candle!

    With these 4 DIY decoration ideas for Christmas, your holiday decorations will be as memorable as the moments spent making them! From Scrabble letters to hang on your tree to snow globes created from recycled jars, each creation is an opportunity to share magical moments with your loved ones. These projects are not only original, they’re also a step towards green decor.

  • Trying Smart Lighting To Sleep Better

    Trying Smart Lighting To Sleep Better

    Time to read: 3 minutes. —

    Did you know? Light and sleep are connected! And with summer and its longer days, it can be sometimes hard to find your rhythm and to have a full and good night’s sleep. Discover how light can help you regulate your sleep cycle and learn how to optimize your use of smart lighting to help your sleep better by following our tips!

    The Science Behind Light And Sleep

    It’s proven, light has a reel impact on our ability to fall asleep. We all know this situation, where we scroll on our phones in bed instead of closing our eyes and trying to sleep. You’ll be glad to know that there is a scientific explanation behind this phenomenon, beyond the stimulation that our phones can provide.

    You’ve probably heard of it—let’s talk about melatonin. It’s the hormone responsible for helping us fall asleep, right in Morpheus’ arms! The human body is quite impressive, as the release of this hormone is triggered by the darkness surrounding us. As opposed to strong light, like sunlight, that blocks melatonin production, making us daytime creatures! So, when we’re exposed to blue light from our smartphones or the late evening sunlight during long summer days, our melatonin production slows down, making it harder for us to fall asleep.

    GLOBE

    A bright light during the evening delays the hour during which we fall asleep, and thus, also delays when we wake up. And this becomes a vicious cycle. We can all picture the cliché of a teenager, going to bed very late (or early) after a night geeking in front of their computer, and waking up way after lunchtime!

    It is then advised to adopt a routine where, when we want to settle down to fall asleep, we reduce our exposition to bright light, either coming from screens or lighting. And thanks to Smart Lighting, this couldn’t be easier!

    How To Use Smart Lighting To Sleep Better

    Smart Lighting is one of the lesser-known solutions for better regulating your sleep cycle. With options for dimming light intensity, such as those pre-programmed on SMART AND GREEN’s smart lights, you can get into the habit of dimming the light in your living space to signal to your body that it’s time to sleep and start producing melatonin! The smart technology in this type of lighting allows you to schedule events so that the brightness decreases automatically. The Smart And Green app even lets you set your lights according to sunset times, making it even easier for you! Just as it’s possible to program your lights for bedtime, it’s also possible to do the same for waking up! The app helps you start the day as you can schedule your lights to turn on to you wake up gently.

    We also recommend to choose from warm and red lights, which help to fall asleep. In reality, lights that mimic the general atmosphere of sunset. When we tell you the human body’s impressive! However, the more a light is blue and cold, similar to screens’ light, the more it stimulates and improves vigilance and performance. Blue is the shade that blocks most of the melatonin production because it makes our body think it’s still daytime. An important fact to keep in mind for an office lighting, to boost productivity during the day for example, but to avoid at all costs for the evening!

    Our Selection Of Smart Bedside Table Lights

    At SMART AND GREEN, Smart Lighting is kind of our thing! Let us share with you a little list of table lamps that would work great on a bedside table!

    • TUB, the little connected glass lamp.
    • EGG, the egg-shaped light, with its soft curves.
    • LAMPION, the table lamp inspired by Japanese lanterns.

    Using smart LED bulbs for better sleep is a great solution for those who struggle with getting a good night’s sleep. Use the Smart And Green app to adjust and dim the light brightness during late hours, and choose warm, cozy shades to ensure melatonin production. Sleep tight!

  • Japandi Decor, More Than A Style, A Way Of Life

    Japandi Decor, More Than A Style, A Way Of Life

    Time to read: 3 minutes. —

    Japandi decor has been all the rage for home design for a few years now. Although its influence can be found in many interior and exterior designs, the word “Japandi” is still relatively unknown, and even more so is its concept! SMART AND GREEN is here to reveal the secrets of this modern decor, the perfect blend between Japanese Zen and Scandinavian hospitality!

    What Is Japandi?

    Japandi has been captivating interior and exterior decor enthusiasts for a very, very long time. In fact, even if it’s a modern and trendy decoration style, this design finds its origins in the 1850s, when Japan opened its doors to the outside world, effectively ending its isolation politics. People from the Scandinavian peninsula visited the country and found a culture and a creative style completely different from theirs. In love, they brought back objects purchased in Japanese shops and, fascinated by the Japanese culture, these objects became a source of inspiration for artists and designers from the North.

    Nowadays, Japandi decor is the combination of two concepts:

    • Scandinavian Hygge: A concept that is characterized by the importance of well-being and feeling joyful in an intimate and cozy environment.
    • Japanese Wabi-Sabi: To accept life how it is and to find beauty in imperfection and the transient.

    The harmony of these two concepts, that go well together, is the key to a successful Japandi home! It’s more than a decoration style, it’s without a doubt a way of living!

    Less Is More, The Key To Japandi

    Eva Bronzini

    For a Japandi decor and lifestyle, the idea is to surround yourself with practical objects, useful in your everyday life, and that you value on a sentimental level. Like the famous Marie Kondō would say, if it doesn’t spark joy, it’s time to let it go! Clearing out the redundant, going back to the essential for a simple and minimalistic environment. Japandi is the love of emptiness. Decluttering your home to ease your mind and create the ideal place to unwind.

    Contemporary Japandi decor embraces durable furniture, in an eco-friendly approach, still focusing only on what is essential. Select sturdy furniture, with high quality that will be appealing to you for years to come!

    The challenge with Japandi, as is often the case with other minimalistic styles, is keeping a lived-in and warm atmosphere. Do you have any ideas on how? Don’t worry, we’ve got your back!

    How To Master Japandi Decor

    For a successful Japandi home, don’t be afraid to let nature inside your home.

    You can achieve this through the use of natural materials in tables, couches, cushions, blankets, drapes and curtains. The tactile dimension of these materials and their connection to nature bring warmth and hospitality to your home and beautifully illustrate Scandinavian Hygge. Their raw appearance, meanwhile, takes us back to the beauty of imperfection of Japanese Wabi-Sabi!

    Among these materials, we can find:

    • Wood
    • Linen
    • Paper
    • Stone
    • Ceramic
    • Cotton

    Regarding color palette, we recommend light and earthy tones that help soothe the mind and relax the body.

    Proud on the podium, we’ll find:

    • Egg White
    • Sand
    • Caramel
    • Off-wHITE
    • Smoke Blue
    • Olive

    (Yes, it’s a really big podium!)

    This blend of raw and natural materials mixed with this color palette will create a soothing, calm and peaceful atmosphere while embracing light and brightness!

    Japandi design offers everything you need to make your home a warm cocoon where you can kick back and recharge. A cocoon to take care of, serene, to unwind after a long day outside.

    Of course, we can’t talk about modern decor without talking about smart lighting! It’s kind of our thing, after all!

    The design of the wireless nomad lantern VESSEL 2, inspired by traditional Japanese lanterns, fits the Japandi style perfectly! Its soft and curvy lines, its wooden handle giving you the freedom to take it along wherever you go, its simple and clean material as well as its subdued light make the VESSEL 2 the ideal match for Japandi lighting! 

    This lantern, similar to every lamp in the SMART AND GREEN collection, is designed to be shock-resistant, waterproof and engineered for a 10-year durability, in line with the importance of eco-friendly design that goes with this trend.

    With our daily lives and the world that seem increasingly complex by the day, Japandi decor promises a serene and welcoming home where it feels great to relax. So, are you as big of a fan as we are? Tell us what you think of this incredible trend in the comments below!

  • Minimalist VS Maximalist, Which Decor Suits You Best?

    Minimalist VS Maximalist, Which Decor Suits You Best?

    Time to read: 4 mins. —

    Minimalist decor has been melting our decorator hearts for a few years now! Here we are in 2024, and behold, a new decorative style, that has been making headlines for several months, is climbing the ranks to be the most popular trend of the year: maximalist decor! While the battle rages on, we’re here to give you our analysis of these two styles to answer the big question: Which one is right for you?

    Minimalist Decor: Calm Luxury

    If you long for a calm and comforting interior, then minimalist decor is ideal for you! The key to this trend, which we love, is to create spaces where you can feel at ease and take a breather. The simplicity of this decoration style represents going back to the essentials and helps with “slow-living”, an invitation to hit the brakes and center on your senses and on the moment.

    In short: A soothing interior for a calm mind.

    Curves and round lines are one of the main trends of minimalist decor. Thanks to their softness and their organic feel, curves have therapeutic effects on our well-being and help to create welcoming spaces. You can go all out with curves in all of their forms: With a dining table, throw pillows, the back of your chairs, a round tray placed on a coffee table…

    Let’s talk about colors! For this style, earthy and neutral colors are the stars. Among them, terracotta, honey, sand, cream and even taupe are must-haves. Our little secret: Black is perfect to add depth to your decor and highlight the other colors by making them pop! On a pillow, for a frame, or even as black stitching on a cover, the devil is in the details! 

    Here is a selection of our smart wireless light collection that will fit beautifully in a minimalist decor:

    Maximalist Decor: Cabinet Of Curiosities

    If you are looking for a quirky interior, full of glee and humor, then maximalist decor is right for you! This trend has been the world of design for a couple of years and continues to wow us in 2024.

    Every style is allowed, from gothic (Wednesday Addams approves) to vintage, the key to maximalism resides in turning your interior into a showcase of curiosities and enjoyment with a mix & match of spellbinding and engaging elements! From books, clocks, pillows, candles, statues and accessories… Everything is possible! This mix of furniture and accessories creates a warm and entertaining interior that stimulates our creativity.

    In short: A quirky interior for a free mind! 

    Let your originality shine through by mixing materials is the key to the maximalist trend. In 2024, the world of design sees the great return of chrome, a vintage-inspired material that can be accompanied by other fashionable materials such as striated glass, plastic or colored marble!

    For a successful maximalist decoration, patterns are your best allies. What makes this trend stand out is the freedom to mix all kinds of patterns together for a super modern look, the Mix&Match. Combine strips with floral or even geometric patterns!

    For colors, don’t be scared to go bold! Maximalist style means to have some carefree fun, so don’t hesitate to go all out with colors and try new combinations, like pink fuchsia and green, cyan and copper or even powder pink with indigo!

    Discover our collection of smart and wireless lamps that will light up your maximalist cave of wonders:

    Whether you wish to go back to the essentials and indulge in the beauty in simplicity of minimalist decor, or you long for some joie de vivre and originality in your maximalist space, choosing your interior wisely begins with opting for a decoration style that suits you, reflects your personality and makes you want to spend time at home!

  • Bring Your Decoration from Summer to Fall!

    Bring Your Decoration from Summer to Fall!

    Time to read: 5 minutes. —

    The Fall season is upon us! It’s time to say goodbye to relaxing by the pool and fresh drinks on the terrace and say hello to comfy hoodie, pumpkin spice lattes and moody decor!

    We’re here to give you advice on how to transition with style your summer decor into the new season. Follow along and tell us what you think in the comments below!

    Fresh Up Your Space by Swapping Out Items

    They key with changing your decor from summer to fall is to start small. What we’ll see this year in terms of fall decor is adding a subtle touch of fall and moodiness into your house without going all out on a theme. 

    For a smooth transition, swapping out items is something easy and stress-free, as you can do it little by little, without breaking the bank!

    Jason Donnelly – The Spruce

    For example, around the couch, changing up your throw cushions for a fabric with more texture like tweed. Multicolored tweed is sooo trendy this year and a must-have for a vintage style decor. You can also swap out your throw blankets for something heavier, a chunky wool would match the vibe! 

    Everything with cozy fabrics or textures is a great idea. Faux fur or chunky knitting will set the tone and bring your interior to the next season. For a more luxurious feeling, we fell in love with velvet, which is so à la mode in 2023 and will bring a little touch of drama to your home!

    The curtains are also a great option to help you ease in the sweater season mood. Change them up for heavier drapes and be bold with geometric or vintage patterns for a super trendy look!

    For beddings and bed sheets, swap out your cotton bedding for something heavier like flannel or wool. You can go for cool tones and mix them with textured fabric for a cozy bedroom, perfect for reading and relaxing in bed. If you live in a warm climate, darker colors and patterns can also work!

    Finally, what’s best for a smooth transition from summer to fall is swapping out decoration items on your shelves, counters and coffee tables! Our favorite decoration idea is a tray you can place on your coffee table in the living room, filled with fall goodies! We’re talking books, candles, flowers and of course, a potpourri. 

    For a cozy, home-y scent that will put you in a happy and relaxed mood, you can follow our potpourri recipe here: Decoration Trends and DIY to Embrace this Fall

    Top 3 of Fall Trends 2023

    We did some research (and had a little cinnamon roll break) and gathered some of the best trends for bringing your home to the next level this fall! 

    1. Curves and Round Shapes Are (Still) In

    Since the end of 2020, curves have been everywhere! They truly became a staple in modern design, and understandably, as experts agree to say that these round shapes and soft curvatures create a calm and soothing effect. And, as opposed to sharp lines, help our mind relax. After all, coziness and a warm home is what we are looking for during fall, and curves are one of the best ways to create a friendly atmosphere.

    Curves and soft shapes can be used everywhere, but here are some good options we picked out: 

    • Arches
    • Chairs
    • Coffee, dinner and side tables
    • Couches
    • Pillows and cushions
    • Clocks, mural and other wall decorations

    2. Bold Earthy Colors for a Moody Fall Decor

    This fall, bold earthy tones are stealing the spotlight!

    For the front door, a central piece of furniture (like the couch) or even with color blocking, the key is too let these quirky bold colors shine through by putting them against dark, cool and moody neutral backdrops. 

    Honey is THE color of fall 2023! It’s a cozy, natural color that will bring warmth to your home and it’s on every designers mind right now. To really make it pop, you can combine it with cooler tones like avocado green or sand.

    3. Vintage Is The New Modern

    One of the best trends that we really fell in love with is the mixing of vintage and modern elements to create an interesting visual contrast. Having a vintage boho rug right next to a modern sleek kitchen, or a boho macrame hanging wall decor placed above a modern minimalist couch brings such a compelling personality to a home.

    Vintage decor, through the 60s to the 80s, has been popular for a few years now and with this mixing of vintage and modern, we are seeing the future of this inspiring trend!

    Get ready to cozy up your home and welcome the beauty of fall as you transition from summer decor to the latest fall trends of 2023.

    We have a little surprise: we have gathered a collection of connected lamps carefully picked out for a fall decor! Try them out with their built-in Candle mode for comforting and soothing (and smart) lighting!

    Time to read: 4 minutes. —

    It’s finally summer! Days are longer, hotter and we couldn’t be happier. It’s the perfect time to take care of your place-to-be. We are, of course, talking about the pool and its surroundings! In this article, we will share our tips on how to turn your pool into a little oasis for your afternoons and summer evenings.

    Decorate your Pool with Floating Lamps

    It’s in fashion at the moment: floating lamps in the pool. In addition to bringing a modern touch, the lamps’ lights will reflect on the surface of the water at nightfall and will create an enchanting ambiance. Just imagine swimming in the middle of multiple colored lights after a long day. What a dream!

    You can also strategically place your lamps along the edges of the pool to bring sophistication and create an elegant and unique lighting arrangement.

    SMART AND GREEN’s smart lights are your best allies to decorate your pool. They are 100% waterproof. Your children can cannonball right into the pool without a care in the world! For our floating lamps, all you have to do is to browse through the catalog and spot the ones with the Floating logo.

    Here’s a little selection of some of our floating lamps that will shine on the water:

    • The ZEN lamp, which will fit beautifully in a nature-inspired decor
    • The FLATBALL lamp, one of SMART AND GREEN’s greatest classic
    • The ROCK lamp, with its sleek and up-to-the-minute design

    SMART AND GREEN’s smart technology allows you to manage your lamps remotely and to change their colors with a simply tap of the finger, with a variety of palettes to dress up your pool. Create a dimmed ambiance with soft colors or with the Candle mode, or spice up your summer gatherings with bright colors or with the Rainbow mode!

    Our Ideas to Decorate your Pool Area

    Sprucing up your pool’s decking plays an essential role in creating an inviting and relaxing exterior space. Following the trend of natural materials, we are crazy about all-wood decking. Make sure to choose a non-slip and weather-proof wood, to blend security and aesthetic.

    When we talk about what goes around a pool, we can’t help but think about lounge chairs, a true staple! Don’t be shy about adding trendy accessories like outdoor cushions or newspaper racks. SMART AND GREEN invites you to try and use the CUBE lamp as a side table! On top of playing the role of a modern lamp, where you can put your cool drink and sunscreen bottle, it will light up and bring color to your summer evenings.

At SMART AND GREEN, nomad lighting is our specialty and it is exactly what the nomad lamps VESSEL and VESSEL 2 were designed to do! With their elegant wooden handle, they will go alongside you through the garden to the terrace. With their Japanese lantern-inspired design, they will bring a relaxing atmosphere to your home. A blend of practicality and style!

    The perfect place to cool off during the summer is the outdoor living room, where you can sit down, relax and enjoy the sunny days and a cool drink!

    A great classic for an outdoor living room à la mode is the outdoor daybed, with its canopy. Accessories it with trendy throw cushions and opt for neutral colors like white, terracotta or sage green to awe your guests! We’re not promising that it will be easy to get out of bed, afterwards!

    Rattan is so in-style right now. This elegant woven material will bring a touch of nature and modernity. Use it without moderation for the outdoor daybed but also for garden chairs, coffee tables and even benches.

    Inspirations

    To create a peaceful safe haven, dare to use bean bags as well as outdoor throw cushions and opt for a draped canopy. With all this, all is left to do is to relax, do nothing and enjoy your summer break!

    Designing your pool area lets your personality speak and express your creativity through decoration. Let your imagination run free and create unforgettable evenings for you and your guests. Make the most of summer and your pool area with our floating and connected lights!
