Shopping List No. 01 | Get a top of the range handheld vacuum cleaner.
“Okay, first things first - do yourself a favour and invest in a top of the range handheld vacuum cleaner. Trust me, it will be a life-changing decision” Sarah explains.
One option that I highly recommend is the Dyson Gen5outsize™ vacuum. Introducing a powerful cordless vacuum with a green laser feature. It reveals 2x more hidden dust on hard floors, acting as a secret weapon for cleaning. Great for pet owners too.
Shopping List No. 02| Zip Water Filter
Sarah Langstaff of Studio Lifestyling recommends that amongst all the essential appliances, get yourself a Zip Tap!
There was one that stood out above the rest – a sleek and sophisticated Zip HydroTap in Arc. This water is pure, refreshing, and superior to tap water. With this system, you'll have cold, sparkling, or boiling water at your fingertips. Say goodbye to the kettle and enjoy a streamlined kitchen with more countertop space.
Shopping List No. 03 | Quality Dishcloths
Embrace reusable dishcloths for a sustainable cleaning routine that's effective and gentle on your dishes and countertops, reducing waste and improving efficiency.
Sarah made the switch to using these incredible Iris Hantverk Clothes a few years ago, and since then, her kitchen routine has been elevated. Sarah recommends purchasing around 3 to 4 of these clothes. By having a small stash on hand, she finds it convenient to toss the dirty one in the wash every few days and effortlessly replace it with a fresh, clean cloth. Trust us when we say that these life-changing Iris Hantverk Clothes are in a league of their own, miles ahead of ordinary chux clothes.
Tip No. 04 | invest in quality bathroom accessories.
When renovating bathrooms and kitchens at Studio Lifestyling, we make sure to incorporate seamless accessories into the design such as Brodware toilet brush holders. These stylish and functional additions enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the space while ensuring maximum convenience. However, even if you’re not currently planning a renovation, it's still worth considering upgrading your home by replacing the cheap plastic accessories with more elegant and durable options. By investing in quality fixtures and accessories, you can elevate your home's style and create a more sophisticated atmosphere without breaking the bank.
Sarah shares that her go-to finish for bathroom styling is the polished Nickel colour, which adds a touch of sophistication with its soft earthy bronze tone.
Introducing new stylish freestanding options enhances your bathrooms, elevating the overall look. Opt for Iris Hantverk ranges, which are eco-friendly and handcrafted near Stockholm. The concrete used creates a unique texture and color variation for a vibrant appeal.
Shopping List No. 05 | invest in quality handwash.
When it comes to taking care of your skin and enhancing the overall aesthetic of your bathroom, investing in high-quality hand wash is a wise decision. They’re natural and gentle on your skin and exude beautiful scents that uplift your senses. What's more, they are highly concentrated, which means you only need to use a small amount for each wash, allowing them to last a significantly longer time. And let's not forget about the visual appeal they bring to your bathroom. So, when it comes to hand wash, don't just settle for the average.
Shopping List No. 06 | Invest in some earthy towels
Sarah always noticed clients' outdated towels. They were faded and needed replacing. She suggested timeless colours like tan, and buying larger sizes for bathroom improvement. All you need are two sets per bathroom (so you can alternate when washing) and be sure to chuck out all the other towels in your linen cupboard- Sarah reminds her clients that “no, you do not need to hang onto to the old ones in case you them one day!”.
The hues in these Country Road Towels not only exuded warmth and elegance but also complemented a wide variety of bathroom decor styles.
These pure linen towels by Hale Mercantile are Sarah's absolute favorite when it comes to choosing towels for her home. Not only are they her go-to range, but she also highly recommends them to anyone looking for high-quality options. Sarah even suggests that these towels are not only great for drying off, but they also serve as amazing exfoliators for the skin. However, she does mention that if you're used to soft plush towels, there might be an initial adjustment period when switching to these linen ones. Yet, once you make the switch, you'll quickly realise how much better and luxurious these towels truly are.
Shopping List No. 07 | Get rid of the toxic products in your home
Upgrade your cleaning products with natural options that leave your home clean and peaceful. Clear out old toxic cleaners and make space for the amazing Australian Essential oils in our range. Sarah, our expert stylist, loves using these products and has convinced her professional cleaner and customers to switch too. Experience the health benefits and enjoy the soothing scent of essential oils in your home. Sarah advices “ they literally smell amazing and they will be a joy to use”.
Sarah highly recommends giving the Australian brand Koala Eco a go. She suggests starting off by purchasing their complete bundle kit, which includes all their essential products. After that, you have the option to subscribe and order your favourite items as and when you need them. Speaking of favourites, Sarah can't get enough of their stainless steel cleaner. She swears by it the scent is my fav. According to her, not only do Koala Eco's products smell amazing, but they are also incredibly effective.
Shopping List No. 08 | Go no- toxic & sustainable cookware
Cooking with cast iron is better because it does not leach any toxic chemicals and heavy metals into your food. Additionally, cast iron, with its non-stick surface, cooks thoroughly using more radiant heat than aluminum and stainless steel. You can use cast iron cookware on an outdoor grill or campfire.
We love these Crumble cast iron cookwares sets. They’re Functional, aesthetically chic, plus help you make delicious and nourishing food attainable for your lifestyle. It's about improving health and wellbeing through more accessible home-cooked meals; it's about enjoying the look and feel of your cookware and knowing its the healthy option for you and your family…….plus they seriosuly look great in your kitchen!
The Crumble cookware on display at our recent Strawberry Rd project is stealing the show Elevate your kitchen with everyday items like this that are better for you aswell.
