Zara Home Kids is one of our absolutely most favourite high street destinations where you can almost always find bright, quirky, and souped up trad pieces to add a stylish splash to kids spaces. It’s actually been quite a while since we’ve indulged our obsessive love of it, so here are just a few of [...]

10 Best: ideas for a farm-themed room

I don’t know a toddler who isn’t enamoured of Old Macdonald, so a farm-themed room is a bit of a no brainer. Colourful and fun, it works brilliantly for boys or girls and you can ramp up the tractor count if you’ve got a petrolhead on your hands. I took this fantastic print from ByGraziela [...]

10 Best: ideas for a circus-themed nursery

Who doesn’t love the circus as a motif? It’s an absolutely brilliant theme for a child’s room as it combines vibrant colour, animals and (providing your offspring isn’t a coulrophobic) clowns. Here’s our pick of big-top buys.   For the walls, I give you two equally fabulous paper options. 1) The muted vintage sketches of [...]

Rob Ryan bunting

It’s no secret how much we at BG adore all things Rob Ryan, so when I spied this bunting (yes, bunting!) by the paper-cut artist it was all I could do not to literally faint. This little beauty has all the elements required to be brilliant for a child’s room. Primary colours? Tick. Quirky illustrations? [...]

Button Up Bunting by Bombay Duck

I’m a tad partial to bunting and these gingham and floral delights by Bombay Duck. You buy the individual appliqued letter flags to make up the greeting you want and then button them together. Should you wish to adapt it for a different greeting, you can buy additional letters so it’s a very flexible design. [...]

Printed Wonders

As soon as I spotted these cute bunting flags I was loving the beach hut-esq colour combinations. They are printed with a retro circus style font and fully customisable with different coloured flags and inks. $45 for a 10 flag length from the Printed Wonders Etsy store but if you fancy something a little different [...]

My Bunting

   Since I became a sudden fan of bunting last year, I’ve come across some super finds, and felt fiend that I am, I love these celebration pieces by Lucy Settle of My Bunting. She makes bespoke and custom bunting like these and more, including alphabet and ‘bijoux bunting’ which is basically mini versions for [...]

Robot Bunting

After pooh poohing bunting for a long time, I’ve become quite the fan ever since I found some vintage and reclaimed bunting at Kids.modern and just yesterday I featured african print recycled bunting over on Nest Goodies. Robots are a big trend in kids gear and I became instantly enamoured with this made to order [...]

Cool Dutch Bunting by Engel

I love getting a bit swoony about stuff and when I saw these fabulous buntings on display at Top Drawer, a retail trade show for design led products this past weekend, I could barely contain myself.

Ikea’s Vitaminer Vimpel Bedroom Accessories

No matter how hard I try to resist, every new Ikea catalogue sees my resolve crumble as a whole new feast for the eyes arrives. The first piece to catch my eyes in the children’s section is this Vitaminer Vimple Duvet Set. The simple bunting design just makes me smile especially as it’s only £7.99 [...]

Personalised Baby Gifts from Illustratemyname

As a child, personalised meant having my name on a tacky old bedroom door plaque bought on holiday in Cornwall. Nowadays, you can personalise everything from bibs to teddy bears. Illustratemyname is a website which does personalisation tastefully. Vintage Wall Letter Stickers say it loud and proud in wild west style vintage font. You can [...]

Baby’s Bunting from Recycled and Vintage Fabrics

I have a confession – I’ve never really got the whole ‘bunting’ thing as they’re normally overtly twee, super lairy, or mega kidified. That was until I came across a company called Baby’s Bunting when I visited Kids.modern. They make hand crafted bunting from recycled and vintage fabrics and each one is appliqued with felt [...]
