This year’s Camp Bestival theme is Outer Space, so we thought we’d put together a few out of this world fancy dress ideas. There are, obviously, lots of Star Wars, Star Trek or Buzz Lightyear options. Or you could, of course, make your own – how about a planet? Or a space invader? Don’t forget the […]

There’s some seriously cool stuff out there at the moment, so if your little cowgirls and -boys would love a bit of saloon-style in their rooms, here are 10 hot buys to get you started.

10 Best: ideas for a seabird-themed room
As a Brighton dweller, I have a love/hate relationship with seagulls, but I have to admit they do make for stylish decorative motifs (not literally, obviously). I’ve also been spotting (see what I did there) a lot of puffins, penguins and pelicans emblazoning interiors accessories lately. So that got me thinking about a seabird-themed room. […]
10 Ideas for a Circus Themed Bedroom
In our family there is nothing more exciting than talk of the circus. We listen to circus scores, read circus stories and put on endless circus performances. I suppose it was to be expected when I named my son Monty! We’re not the only ones and circus revival is a hot trend at the moment. […]
Stuf Circus Themed Soft Toys by Wry Baby
Circus inspired goodies remain hot hot hot and these soft toys by Wry Baby are begging for a home with one of the new babies in my life. Featuring hand silk-screen printed designs on canvas cotton and a little bell inside, they also have pellet weighted bases so that they can stand up on their […]
Blafre Design Circus Themed Storage Cases
I love Norwegian company Blafre Design’s deliciously retro, 70s inspired offerings and their latest collection of circus themed storage tin suitcases which can be filled with your little one’s ‘treasures’ or used as a lunchbox. Choose between circus train, strongman, and strongwoman as well as lion (which soon be available) over at cool spot Peanut […]
10 Best: ideas for a fruit-themed room
Fruit is a great unisex theme for a child’s room and is appropriate for a range of ages. I’m not suggesting you opt for all these pieces at the same time to create a fruit salad, but against a monochrome background any of these pieces look fabulous. Apples are by far the most popular motif, […]
10 Best: ideas for a tea party themed room
This might seem like a rather odd theme. Ok, it is rather odd, but I was inspired by this bookshelf I saw on Etsy (amazing, but unfortunately doesn’t ship to the UK) and it occurred to me that children love tea parties, so why wouldn’t they love a room that looked like one. My first […]
Inspiration: Customise bedroom furniture with wood grain effect for a woodland theme
I visited Home and Top Drawer on Monday, the trade show for design-led products and went to visit the stand of one of my favourite British brands ever, Anorak. Laurie’s famous ‘kissing animals’ prints adorned bedding, homewares and accessories displayed on a bunkbed, chest of drawers and shelving that have been transformed with wood grain […]
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 forest […]
10 Best: ideas for a train-themed room
 Choo choo! You don’t need to go anywhere near Thomas the Tank Engine to achieve a first class kids’ room that’s just the ticket. Move along down, please! Firm favourites Ferm Living come up trumps on the wallpaper front with their Tiny Train design, £59, Koko Kids. Love these Galt room dividers – be great […]
10 Best: ideas for a rainbow-themed room
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
 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 […]
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) […]
10 Best: ideas for a robot-themed room
In the 50s, pretty much everyone believed that robots would be commonplace in every home by the year 2000, and I have to admit, having grown up with Tomorrow’s World in the 80s, I kinda hoped it would be true, too. Sadly, with maybe the exception of Japan, our world is lacking in automated help, but […]
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 transport-themed room
So, I was going to make this generally transport-themed, but there was way too much good stuff, so I’ve split it up. Here’s the first, cars, vans and trucks. Hot off the Petit Collage press is this little piece of fabulousness - By Land, a road-based print on maple veneer, from just $15 for the small size. […]
10 Best: ideas for a weather-themed room
Ever since I first set eyes on Swedish designer Gunila Axén’s frankly amazing Clouds pattern I’ve been smitten with the idea of a weather-themed room. In all honesty, you could kit out a nursery solely in Axén’s icon design – find bedlinen, curtains, lampshades, cushions and storage in a variety of colours at Little Baby […]
10 Best: Ideas for a space-themed room
Space. The Final Frontier. And a fantastic theme for a child’s room. There’s so much material out there that I found this really tricky, but here are a few extra terrestrial ideas. 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Blast off! On the walls, you can’t go far wrong with Kakemono from innovative French company Carton Chic. Is […]
Party Inspiration: Nia’s Gruffalo Themed Birthday Party
Last week my baby Nia turned two and we celebrated with a Gruffalo party because she is, along with Saria, obsessed with the book and the short film. While I’m not keen on much character led stuff, the Gruffalo is a story loved by so many and I gave myself a brief of coming […]
