Rafa-kids pre-teenager boy’s room

My older son is now 8 and a half and I notice that on one hand he is still pretty childish but on the other he would like to be so cool and independent. He would go to bed with his favourite little bear, hang his favourite drawings around him and then only the sophisticated black shirt is an option for a day outfit.  Do you recognise this ? For me it is sort of in between phase of life , which I think can be called - pre-teen.  His room is then also a bit of mix of things from different ages and that’s what we also tried to imagine in our studio. Pre-teenager’s room with Rafa-kids’ black K desk and X stool. You can see his lego boxes, which he absolutely loves, pillows and cuddly, and a bit of messy space, because he doesn’t care so much….

We believe the K desk can be used for many years to come, because it is such a sophisticated furniture piece, for kids of any age. 

Special thanks to Paulina Arcklin for this inspiring day and styling the pictures and to Maike Timmerman, for this beautiful wooden snake / designfuersheim. 

teenager room with Rafa-kids' furniture

I find it very rare to find a furniture that can be used in many different types of space, and appeal to many different aesthetics. Traditional or modern, bohemian or minimalist. Not to mention furniture for children, which we can buy when they are around 7-8 years old and still use it when they are 18….That what I would like to show you today. Rafa-kids strive to create quality design which can be used for years and grow with the child. I think we can achieve it by getting our kids’ furniture with clean lines, stylish, and timeless. I don’t have a teenager at home yet…

My older son (8 ), loves soft and delicate fabrics ( yes! ) this is always our priority when we buy new clothes for him. I hope softness, beautiful lightweight texture and comfort  of linnen from Rafa-kids’ collection will be his first choice in the future. Together with sophisticated design of furniture and plenty of personal accessories around it…

Bloomingville - teener room

Can anyone explain me why such an inspiring brands like Bloomingville  or House doctor  don't have a children room section?  ( happily there is a Ferm Living with a big range of products for kids  ) The companies would like to decorate our kitchens, living rooms , bathrooms and gardens and it looks like the children's room is kind of left over. We can just pick up few things from their collection and put them to a children's room. That's what I just did for this post. Betina Stampe (owner of the Bloomingville) has 4 daughters, so it's even more interesting there is not special girl department ;-)  but with a lot of pink and gold it is a very feminine collection (I think!) 

Today I'm showing you a new Bloomingville collection for fall/winter 2013 

where there is only ONE modern teenager's bedroom photo!  ;-)

For the ones who don't know the company. Bloomingville is a Danish brand established in 2000. 

It started with two people Betina & Simon Stampe, 

and grew into established company of 40 employes and 40 agents around Europe. 

 " The unique Bloomingville's style is a mixture of raw products with a nostalgic scandinavian twist and reproductions of fantastic pieces from times past inspired by French brocante " .
