Super Hot Find: Squirrel, Elephant & Owl Wall & Tile Stickers for £3.75
July 18, 2011 by Natalie · Leave a Comment
My eyes were on stalks when I moseyed over to Hunkydory Home this morning and clapped eyes on these squirrel, nelly, and owl wall and tile diecut stickers by Swedish designer Julie Nielson. £3.75 each is just too cool for school and an absolute steal for a instant, cheery, and still super stylish update. They [...]
Madeleine Stamer perspex bird mobiles
April 14, 2011 by Myf · Leave a Comment
I think I actually gasped out loud a little when I came across these cut-out birds. At first glance, they look at like the most intricate paper-cuts à la Rob Ryan, but they are in fact a much more robust and practical laser-cut perspex. Choose from a mobile of three complimentary colours, or go [...]
Minkee prints
January 13, 2011 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
If there were any room left on the walls in Alfie’s room, I’d be buying pretty much everything illustrator Minkee has drawn – I love the simple, bold designs and block tones. The set of three animal gocco prints, above, £32, is too cute for words (I’m particularly enamoured with the tiger) and the haughty [...]
Shelf wooden animal hooks
I fell in love with these gloriously simple wooden hooks as soon as I saw them. I think it’s important for children to be independent from an early age and mounting a set of coat hooks at child height under the adult ones is always a good way to achieve this and, of course, encourage [...]
Recycled MDF Trophy Heads
September 16, 2010 by Natalie · 2 Comments
A few months back I featured Rice DK’s papier mache stag heads and now I’ve found these fabulously well priced Trophy Heads alternatives made from recycled MDF in a host of print and patterns to dazzle. Taking only a few minutes to put together, it comes as a sheet out of which you pop the [...]
Solar Night Lights by Clifford Richards
September 1, 2010 by Natalie · Leave a Comment
Longtime readers will know I’m mega partial to pop art designer Clifford Richards whose work is on display at the V&A and he’s also got a great range of toys and accessories. He’s also the person behind these solar powered night lights made from mostly recycled and also recyclable powder coated steel. There’s an elephant, [...]
Wall Stickers by Hu2 Design
While there’s now plenty of choice on the market when it comes to wall stickers, we still get excited when we see clever designs like the brilliant range at Hu2 Design. All of the vinyl stickers are removable and made in the UK, and hot pieces include the animal world map in a contemporary mix [...]
Ostrich and Polar Bear Wallpaper by Turner Pocock
Contemporary animal inspired decor for children is heavily on our radar and while we do love owls, elephants, and foxes amongst our many friends, polar bears and ostriches have now joined the gang. An exciting collaboration between interior designers Turner Pocock (Bunny Turner and Emma Pocock) and the artist Catherine Cazalet, these fresh, understated designs [...]
Supercool Blackout Blinds from Living Funky
July 19, 2010 by Natalie · Leave a Comment
The moment I clapped eyes on the collection of blinds from Living Funky, I felt myself break out in a rush of shopping palpitations! Let’s be real – blinds for kids rooms, blackout or not, aren’t always the most exciting, but Living Funky delivers plenty of eye candy. My favourite are Swedish designers Mairo’s fabrics [...]
Gorgeous Knitted Baby Toys, Mobiles and Backpacks by Blabla Kids
I’m a hardcore fan of Blabla Kids, a scrumptious range of knitted toys designed by Florence Wetterwald that are right up there on my hot knitted toy meter with Anne-Claire Petit’s delights. Knitted in Peru by artisans from natural cotton in a fairtrade environment, we’ve featured several of their dolls which are perfect for both [...]
Océchou – Happy Design for Kids
June 24, 2010 by Natalie · Leave a Comment
I know I get excited about a lot of stuff (that’s what BG is all about!) but there are times when I have near email blindness…and then I click on a link and get dazzled by the fantastic delights before my eyes. That’s how I felt when I checked out Océchou by Nicole, a designer [...]
Papier Mache Stags Heads by Rice.dk
May 28, 2010 by Natalie · Leave a Comment
These papier mache stags heads by one of my favourite design companies, Danish fair trade hotspot of cool Rice, are the hotness. Want, want, want, want, want! Sticking to their eclectic granny boho chic style, it’s the clever mix of colours and patterns that make these serious statement pieces. It’s a tough call on which [...]
Sarah Jane Studios
There is nothing like seeing a piece of art in context to make you want it. I am loving Take Me For a Walk from Sarah Jane Studios after seeing this nursery from Aubrey and Lindsay on her blog. I’ve been a fan of Sarah Jane’s for a long time now and her strap line: [...]
Printspace wall stickers
I’ve raved about Printspace’s whimsical illustrations before, and Alfie’s wall is home to one of their prints which I uncovered on Etsy. So, I was super-excited to hear that Mara and Nicholas Girling had teamed up with The Wall Sticker Company to produce a small but perfectly cool collection. Ranging from cute little birdie designs [...]
Noix de Coc’ Floor Cushion
March 11, 2010 by Lucy · 3 Comments
It’s a badly kept secret that I’m obsessed with cushions (look out for my imminent round-up of those of the animal variety) – Alfie has a book nook he can barely squeeze into so high has the level of soft and squishy items risen. So, I thought I had all bases covered until I spotted [...]
