Lotta Agaton for H&M home kids

It doesn’t happened often that well known interior stylist is creating images for children’s products. Or I don’t know about it, since the names of the stylists are most of the time not even mentioned in the production photos. When I discovered that one of my all time favourite Swedish Interior Stylist Lotta Agoton, made sets for the new H&M kids home collection I just wanted to show it to you. Lotta works for world know companies like String or Bolia, and create work for advertising agencies and newspapers both in Sweden and internationally. Her work is very inspiring and always up front with trends in my opinion. 

This time we see her images created for “ Halloween “ kids party and decorated with textiles from Swedish giant H&M .  All the products are very bold and in simple three colours - black&grey and pink. Rugs, beddings and plenty of storage option - baskets in different sizes and colours. I really like the image with two girls , chilling in their beds.  A lovely mess and a “real” feel of how the children’s rooms normally look like….

Happy weekend! 

Rafa-kids K desk - Studioaandacht for Brabantia

I’m so exited to share with you this modern and minimalistic pictures with Rafa-kids K desk. 

All the images were created by Studioaandacht for a family business Brabantia.  This world famous for their touch bin and wall fix company asked  Studioaandacht to refresh their brand image back in 2012. Each season their develop a new trend strategy and produce and shoot images for packaging, PR and advertising of Brabantia. The images are so playful, filled with colours and eye catching. We are very proud to be selected for their new campaign. My favourite picture is the green metallic one with  “LET’S CLEAN IT UP” note. I wish my working would place look like that, every day….

Soft and cosy Liv’s room

Finally weekend…

what an intensive and busy working days behind us….

I just couldn’t wait to hide at home under some warm blanket with my coffee.  

The perfect ingredients for a cosy Autumn day for me ?  

Cosy and soft room with plenty of felt, linen and wool. 

Please welcome our Rafa-kids benches in all 4 finishes : wood, whitewash, white and dark chocolate. 

Our new family member is a perfect furniture to put next to the bed. It can become a side table to put your book,or something to draw on and play. A storage for textile, garments and all what you need around. It will look so stylish and organised. We hope you love it as much as we do! 

In Liv’s room you will find: 

Rafa kids - A teen bed in whitewash finish. 

B bench 120 cm in whitewash finish and BB bench 90cm in natural wood. 

We also have a new Linen throws and felt basket in beautiful grey and blue. 

We wish you a wonderful weekend ahead. 

Rafa-kids BB bench - InsideOut magazine - Australia

While we pull warm sweaters to welcome chilly Autumn days in Europe 

at the same time in Australia the first Spring vibes poping out. 

Do you remember my post about a favourite stylist Jessica Hanson from Australia? I adore her work since a long time and always find inspiring what she does. For the October issue of the Insideout magazine she created with Sam Mcadam-Cooper  this amazing Black Swan Ballet dancer set. 

We are over the moon to spot Rafa-kids B bench and A teen bed in this girls’ room.  I remember ones a Rafa-kids customer saying, that our furniture is elegant and light. It was so nice to hear and it came back to my mind when I saw this pictures. Sunny colours used for this set give definitely feeling of a fresh start. 

Monday inspiration - Baby Blue for children’s rooms

Today I’m back with inspiring Monday post about Blues in children rooms…

Forget about the traditional baby blue coloured nursery rooms for baby boy! I hope we are over this generalisations and that baby blue colour is also a perfect tone to decorate girls’ rooms. They love to wear blue, right ? It is such a calm, relaxing and dreamy colour to add into children space. We are currently repainting our boys’ room and when we asked which colour they would like…my 10 years old son asked to paint the white walls - blue…

Last week Rafa-kids created in our studio this soft and delicate room with a touch of blue. The photo session was dedicated to our NEW B bench and BB bench. We went for natural wood and whitewash furniture with plenty of beautiful textile : linen , felt and wool. Perfect ingredients for a cosy Autumn day. 

I’m glad to see more and more examples of using soft blue tones with grey for a modern children spaces. It brings lightness and fresh air into home deco during the dark days coming ahead to us. 

Thank you for the inspiration - Pictures credits  :  3 - 4 - 5 - 6+7+8 all Rafa-kids

Kids space at vtwdbeurs 2016

Last Friday we went to look for inspiration at the biggest Design and Interior Fair in The Netherlands called - VT wonen&design Beurs taking place in Amsterdam. We were so exited to discover, that the Dutch magazine vtwonen created space for kids in their pavilion. It was not just one little room…it was large and impressive open space.  The main element was a built platform where child can sleep and play and on the other side there was a separate area for working. My favourite element was definitely the built platform with the drawers underneath for all the toys and also a large wardrobe. Open shelves gave chance to expose all little treasures. Just perfect. I really liked the colours combo kept in this era. Grey was contrasted and refreshed with orange, which gave cosy and warm feeling. The working area was dark and calm, with a galaxy theme. Kids’ house was filled with plenty of vintage finds, industrial furniture like chairs or shelves, which made this space look so personal. Such a wonderful atmosphere….

and we spotted Rafa-kids XO game and X stool in black in there!  

Unfortunately on the entire fair it was not much more inspiration for children except this pavilion….I will show you more from the fair shortly. 

Happy weekend my dear readers.
