Let’s the fun begin!

The sun shines, the days are getting warmer, we couldn’t be more happy! 

Our favourite time of the year is just starting. 

Welcome March! We were waiting for you for so long…. 

Rafa-kids really likes the new beautiful collection on Darling Clementine. Till know this Norwegian brand, started by Tanje Holand & Ingrid Relthaug  was offering mostly stationery and paper products, but they just introduced textile! We absolutely love the simple, graphic aesthetic and playful character of the new products. The little Pantomime pillow, was a ‘must have’ for our carefully built textile collection for kids’ room. Don’t you thing, the small little products and elements, make the child’s room so much more personal and playful ? 

Monday inspiration - floor cushions for the kids bedroom

Kids love to play on the floor. At least mine do! And it is not only our toddler but also the more serious 9 years old. The more floor space the better to use for fun which you can invent with your friends. I never really liked carpets or the soft furnishing in the house, but since we have kids, they came into our space. Kids needed the soft base on the ground to play. Now I see, that it would also be nice to have some good floor cushions, to lie, to read, to build from or to fight with (oh yes, my boys love the pillow fights) In the boys’ room I created little soft corner with 2 mattresses on top of each other, with a plenty of pillows. They love it!  I found for you few simple examples how you can do it for your little ones. If u like the idea , of course. 

I wish you a great week. The sun is finally shining here, so let’s hope it will stay with us. 

Thank you for the inspiration :  1 - 2 - 3- 4 - 5 - 6 - 7- 8 - 9

Blue at Rafa-kids

The school holidays just ended and we are back from a little winter break with our boys. After few days at home with them (with a lot of rain in The Netherlands)  we spontaneously decided to leave. In only 3,5h drive from home we were at little village in Germany with snow and son! The fresh air and the blue sky! It was exactly what we needed….

It’s a new week and time for our Monday inspiration.  I thought, let’s start this week with fresh white and different tones of blue from Rafa-kids collection. Do you know that we carry some beautiful stonewashed linen bedding? I wanted to add beautiful lightweight texture and comfort to our furniture collection.  Pure linen fabric is pre-washed in the production process and guarantees extra softness, luxurious comfort and sweet dreams to you and your loved ones.  We are proud to have also especially made for Rafa-kids - junior size stonewashed linen bedding .  And this blue colour of linen is just divine for the coming Summer, don’t you think ? 

Our Blueberry wool blanket is not only for winter, since it keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Wool is a natural “high-performance” fabric – it’s naturally good for your skin and body. I am constantly stunned that all these products do not only look so beautiful, but are made with a lot of care and are so good for us. 

I can only say -  Let’s treat ourself well!

HM kids home - Animal Encounter

H&M Home collection offers for the upcoming season a lot of botanical prints, earth tones and reach textures. Kids’ deco line is also inspired by this trendy look. Green is such a great colour to use in children’s rooms, remember my post about it here : inspiration-green-wall ? It’s calm, cosy and matches so well with natural materials like wood, cork and bamboo.  Of course we can’t forget the plants! 

My favourite product from H&M new collection for children is the simple bedding set with animals and the storage basket with animals print. H&M seems to understand, that the storage is an important issue in children’s rooms, and we can find much more simple options to choose from. I really like this fresh atmosphere created on these pictures.  

Can’t wait for Spring to come! 

Monday inspiration - Industrial vibe in children’s room

Friend of mine moves soon into a new house and her son, who is 10 would like to have a robust and industrial room. Well, that’s a nice challenge I thought! For me, the easiest way to get the industrial vibe, would be to search for a storage furniture. A good old locker or wardrobe can be a good eye catcher for a space. Industrial lamps, clocks and letters, are  very ‘cool’ gadgets to add too. What is so great about all these elements, they are not particularly dedicated to children deco, so you can also use it in different part of your house. If this all gets to much in one room - just try to add a bit of colour and soft textures and personal child accessories and the room will get cosy and welcoming. 

Restoration Hardware company is famous for their industrial collection.  I can scroll around their website and look for inspiration for hours. All the pictures from this post are from them.  My old post : industrial-storage-ideas is one of your favourite ones on this blog. I will show you more related ideas and that this style fits not only the boys world! 

  Stay tuned and have a nice week ahead!
