Alphabet Fabric Wall Stickers
We love wall stickers and we love alphabets so a combination of the two is, frankly, awesome. A colourful take on the popular Victorian decorative typeface these stickers add some character. You buy each letter individually so you can spell out words or even have the entire set if the fancy takes you. Ideal for [...]
Hot! Olive Loves Alfie Colour – A Soya Based Paint Range
February 9, 2012 by Natalie · Leave a Comment
I’m loving Olive Loves Alfie’s natural paint collection. A collaboration with The Nursery Paint Company, it features fifteen soya based shades of cool and sugary tones which have anti-bacterial qualities. and 100% free of VOCs. The names of the colours in the Olive Loves Alfie Colour range are inspired by owner Ashlyn’s daughter’s love of [...]
10 Best: Foxy Finds
January 27, 2012 by Lucy · 2 Comments
Foxes are fast becoming the new owls, loved by parents and little ones alike (Alfie adores his Tootsa Macginty fox sweater), so I thought I’d round up some the foxiest finds for kids. My love for Maileg toys knows no bounds and this little fella is no exception. In fact, I’ve decided he’s going to [...]
Retro Villa
January 10, 2012 by Kat · 2 Comments
Retro Villa is one of my absolute favourite vintage decor haunts and while I was pressing my nose against their virtual window the other day it occured to me that I’d neglected to share it with you. A Danish delight, Retro Villa is packed to the gills with the kind of over the top wallpaper [...]
Hibou Home children’s wallpaper
January 9, 2012 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
Love, love, love this new wallpaper collection from Brit company Hibou Home. There are four diverse designs – Enchanted Wood (which comes in three colourways), Gymkhana (two), Pirate Seas (two) and, my favourite, the greeny blue Cactus Cowboy. Of all the designs I’m least enamoured with the uber-girlie Gymkhana, but if you live with pony [...]
10 Best: ideas for a tree-themed room
The branches may be bare at the moment, but I can’t help but think of spring and greenery. Although far removed from trad teddies and bunnies, trees are a fantastic unisex theme for a nursery – great if you don’t know what flavour you’re expecting. Designers love them as well – there’s a veritable [...]
Paperboy – new wallpaper designs
I’ve been a fan of Paperboy Interiors ever since I featured their boy centric range of wallpaper last year. While I’m not keen on being too gender focused, it’s no secret that boy owners are often shortchanged in the decor and even style stakes, so it is great to see someone taking boyish themes (that [...]
Famille Summerbelle ‘Un Dimanche à Paris’ Wallpaper
Ooh hello! Or better still, bonjour swoonalicious wallpaper! We’re a tad weak for Paris themed interiors – Lu has done a great roundup – and Famille Summerbelle’s ‘Un Dimanche à Paris’ (A Sunday in Paris) is downright covetable in either a blue and red or yellow and silver colourway. Renowned for her divine papercut maps [...]
Robot Wallpaper from Studio Ditte
October 4, 2011 by Kat · Leave a Comment
If you’ve been reading here a while you’ll know I am a bit of a wallpaper obsessive. My affections are easily won by some pretty paper awaiting pasting. My latest love is this new Robot Wallpaper from Studio Ditte. The robots seem to have so much humour in them especially their mismatched eyes. At €135 [...]
Hotness: New Roddy & Ginger logpile wallpaper
The woodland theme is an enduring trend (Have you seen Lucy’s excellent roundup for woodland themed bedrooms?) and I’m loving the new line of contemporary, eco friendly logpile wallpaper by south east London based designers Roddy & Ginger, who are already a hotspot for all things owl and deliciously retro. Available in moss yellow (my [...]
10 Best: ideas for a rainbow-themed room
September 23, 2011 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
Red and yellow and… Who doesn’t love a rainbow? The thing I like best about them as a theme is that it’s so easy to customise pretty much anything to suit. Painted cot bars. Seven strips of fabric for a curtain. Paper lanterns. All cheap and easy updates. Check out Pinterest for some amazingly creative [...]
10 Best: ideas for a Paris-themed room
September 9, 2011 by Lucy · 3 Comments
We’ve been to London and New York, so it seems only fitting that we should pay a visit to that chicest of fashion capitals across the Channel. A Paris-themed room could be great for boys (Eiffel Tower, gargoyles) or girls (Eiffel Tower, poodles). I tried really hard to find Pompidou Center goodies, but they’re [...]
Sticky Tiki wall decals
New Zealand based company Sticky Tiki produces the most amazing wall decals. Quirky, fun and educational, my favourite is Alphabetica, a deliciously alternative alphabet, home to such wonders as F is for Foxy Fox with Freesias, G is for Green Giraffe, in a Grey and Gold frame with Gerberas and Y is for Yak on a [...]
10 Best: Ideas for an aviation-themed room
Neee-oowww! Planes and all things aeronautical are flavour of the month here in Brighton, so I couldn’t resist bringing you a round of goodies for your little high flyer’s room. We’ve raved about Paperboy’s wallpaper designs in the past and their latest, Spitfire (which celebrates the 75th anniversary year of the iconic World War II aircraft) [...]
Rob Ryan & Mini Moderns Wallpaper
August 16, 2011 by Kat · 3 Comments
Sometimes a little thought pops into your head which is pure genius. An idle conversation one dreary afternoon months ago has resulted in a collaboration between two of my very favourite designers: Rob Ryan and Mini Moderns. This first (seriously hoping not last) wallpaper from the paper cut artist features birds flying through the sky [...]
