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: [...]
Imeus Design
Loving the work of Imeus Design after seeing it on Print & Pattern yesterday. The rainbow bright colours and old school style are giving me goosebumps. You can check out their store for more details of where to buy but be warned – not all images there are family friendly! Via Print & Pattern.
Personalisied Birthday Posters from Molly Meg
I was having a quick look at the current stock of vintage chairs at Molly-Meg ahead of this weekend’s Kids.Modern when I spotted these cute vintage type face posters. Each one is hand printed by Stephen Kenny from his collection of antique letterpress fonts. The mix of fonts depends on the length of your child’s [...]
Letter Prints by Paul Thurlby
Delightfully retro and sublimely coloured the alphabet prints of Paul Thurlby are divine. Each letter is a limited edition print and costs £27 although you can currently buy two and get the third free. You could use them to spell out initials, a child’s name or if you have the wall space you could do [...]
Modern Family Trees from My Tree & Me
I have been hankering after one of these gloriously styled family trees from My Tree & Me since I saw them last year. They take our desire to show where we came from and package them in a delectably graphic fashion. You can chose from DIY Family Trees starting at $48 or Customised Family Trees [...]

Lulabird is a hot new brand created by design conscious Mamas Louise and Rachel. They have created a range of retro inspired characters which will appeal to both children and parents alike.

The selection for the zoo is perfect for decorating a nursery. The range of artistic style available is stunning and you really will be spoiled for [...]
Posters for Little People from Little Studio
I have been drooling over the home and style of Swedish blogger Mamamekko for yonks and was very excited when she announced she was opening a shop to sell her funky prints. Little Studio is open for business and I am loving the prints. I have long admired the Little Cloud print (above centre) which is [...]

They’re ‘Love’ collection of posters is a delight [...]

I am really smitten with these simple prints by artist Esther Hall. They are prints from an original lino cut illustration. Each image is thoughtfully coloured and retains the charm of a lino cut. They are perfect for the stylish nursery as they are adorable without being cutesy. £22.50 each from Owl & Cat Designs at [...]
My First Alphabet Poster by Marcus Walters
It has to be acknowledged that there are some supremely talented illustation artists working in the UK today. I just adore the work of Marcus Walters who has a small selection of gorgeous works in his shop. You may have already seen his work on the Pizza Express kids’ menu, in Anorak or at Howies. Regular [...]
Retro Artwork by Ingela P Arrhenius
These prints by Swedish illustrator Ingela P Arrhenius are deliciously retro, with her taking her inspiration from the 50s and 60s and vintage items that she collects . Using playful, wonderfully childish (she describes them as ‘naive’) illustrations with equally playful and vibrant colours, my absolute favourite is the ‘Friends In a Tree‘ print at [...]
Peagreen Shop
I am a borderline stalker of uber cool design consultancy Peagreen. Who can blame me when their clients include some of our favourite shops: Paperchase, Habitat, Urban Outfitters, Topshop and even Ikea. I recently attended their first ever gallery show and was absolutely wowed by the limited edition prints and one off art pieces created [...]
Fairytale Prints by The Yellow House
All little girls (and some little boys) love fairytale princesses, but fairytale-themed art can sometimes be overly cutesy, old-fashioned or Disneyfied. Which is why we love love love Folksy seller The Yellow House’s take on it. Quirky and modern, the limited-edition screenprints feature a cool blue Cinderella or a feisty scarlet Little Red Riding Hood. [...]
Cheeky artwork for kids by Stinky Whizzers
As soon as I clapped eyes on these imaginative, cheeky illustrations by children’s book illustrator Phil Alderson, I felt excited! Phil’s a new dad and together with his sister-in-law Claire, they’ve created Stinky Whizzers. Their collection of posters and canvases are animated, vibrant illustrations full of cheeky characters mixed with an educational element. From [...]
