black & white children’s rooms

 

Our Monday’s inspiration for children room’s is back! 

I don’t know if you like it or not, but I’m afraid that the Black&White kids’ deco trend is still doing very well.  There is plenty of nice accessories to make a playful and original room for a child only by using this two colours. The H&M new kids’ deco collection also seems holding on to this . Black& White interior design is most of the time minimalistic and elegant, but sometimes we may feel is a bit to monotonus. I was giving few ideas how to decorate in this aesthetic here: black-kids-rooms

Personally I can’t really imagine only black and white room, not only for my children but also for me personally.  I will mainly miss natural textures in such a space. I found for you few examples, of a beautiful mix of wooden accessories for children with a simple graphics and white furniture. It makes a serene atmosphere I could definitely live in. 

Since a long time, I prefer sleeping in white and happily I pass this to my boys. My older son likes to sleep in this grey duvet and I made a white one for my younger one. ( since I couldn’t find a small size in pure white! )  I was afraid they would ask for colours and patterns, but it was not even a discussion about it, they really like it and I’m so glad they do! And what a wonderful, simple bunk beds set ups on these two pictures below,  quiet and calm. Perfect. 

Thank you for inspiration /  pictures are from : 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ( 5 & 6)  (7 & 8 ) - 9 -10 

natural materials in children’s rooms

Can you imagine child's room without strong colours and accents ? 

What about keeping everything very tonal and natural ... 

Seems like a easy key into succes: keep it simple,  expose rich textures and natural materials. 

Don’t be afraid of experimenting with mix of old and new.

Few days ago, my younger son, who is 4.5  asked me for white bedding and pillows! I couldn’t believe my ears. He said he would like to have all white and fresh. Believe me , he is not watching any trendy magazines or Instagram. This makes me believe that neutral room can be a real hit for a child too.

Thank you for the inspiration :  1/2 -3 /4 /5 - 6 /7

party hats from Engelpunt

Engel punt is one of my favourite Dutch brands if you will ask me about the perfect accessories for a party decoration. I think you probably already know their so popular Honeycomb and Pom Poms. Their slingers are also very nicely made and packed. I just discovered, that they came up with a new, simple product - colourful party hats! They are packed in a small envelope, so you can sent it or just use it for all your guests coming over to a party! The patterns and colours are cheerful - exactly what you might need.

  Happy Friday! 

pouf for kids' room

It was silence on the blog all week, I know….

We were very busy finishing the NEW design for Rafa-kids and this was taking all my energy and focus. I’m so exited and can’t wait to show it all to you! 

Now it is finally weekend and we can enjoy family relaxed time. 

I have an eye on poufs for some time now. I don’t know were this is coming from, but I think they add such a great, playful element to a child’s room. 

I searched on Etsy for all the nice, hand made poufs  for you…I hope you like it. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

welcome February with colours of Muskhane

“…Even though it is still cold, windy and maybe even snowy where you are, the spring will arrive soon enough and so will the summer – we promise!…” 

this was a message I found in my mail box the other day from ‘soft gallery’ launching  their new Spring/Summer collection. At the M&O in Paris in January many other brands have shown their spring/summer collections and  Muskhane was one of them . Looking at their dreamy and colourful collection made me miss sunny summer days even more. Like I told you thousands of times: pink is not my favourite colour but in a combination with yellow, is something I accully really like. Don’t you think this Muskhane stand looks like a big candy store ?  I would pick up few of accessories to decorate. Their storage baskets and rugs are my favourite.

I see light….

Do you like paper lamps?  

White simple balls, big and small put together always remind me of Chinese paper lanterns. 

This beautiful lamps in different shapes are coming from Parisaumoisdaout and are designed by Pascale Daniel. The lamps are not made out of paper but soft cotton sails, hand made in Bangladesh. The cotton is printed in manual screen printing or pad printing (print block) and then embroided with traditional techniques. This gives them a good quality and authentic touch.

favourite designer / part 5 - Anne Stensgaard

This nice Keyholder design by Anne Stensgaard for Bolia really  “ CatchMe ”  

- funny enough this is a name of this beautiful product. I have a weakness for well made little design pieces with a bit of twist and funny look.  Anne had design for Bolia many more interesting products, which are for example this wall hangers. Bolia opened their first show room in 2000 and  it’s international furnishing company with humble Danish beginnings. If the name doesn’t ring any bell to you, just have a look at their website here : Bolia. I’m Danish design fan, so I just have to show it to you!

Have a wanderfull weekend!
