Shelfie in child's room

Today I have for you a great storage idea with Rafa-kids XL shelf . What do you do with all the cuddly Forever Friends who belong to your child? Our ten years old Frank has such a big collection of cuddles that they hardly fit in his bed! And that’s not the end, as he likes to buy or get from time to time some new ones. The other day I thought that our XL shelf could be a perfect storage idea for it. Your child can see all of the favorite cuddles and then take the ones he/she would like to play or sleep with. You win two things - a beautiful decoration in a child’s room and good way to storage them…Of course, the shelf is suitable for displaying any other collection of your child. What could it be? lego, little dinosaurs, books, drawings … 

Rafa-kids favorite Forever Friends:

Mause Doll

Sardine the cat

Apple Pillow Grey

Licorice the dog

I’m showing you two other children’s rooms with different ideas.

Gender Neutral Children's rooms trend

Could you imagine the room of your child in a calm and neutral atmosphere, or you find it to much and a bit boring? The gender neutral children rooms are at the moment very popular, and I like it a lot. The other day, my six years old son was drawing something, and when I asked why he doesn’t use the pink color- he looked at me with this strange look, and said -  “ mom - pink is for girls! “  I was angry, as this was definitely told to him by someone at school, and I’m far from accepting it. 

Anyway, today we are escaping from colours in children’s rooms, and any generalisations what is for boys, and what for girls. Let’s enjoy these beautiful natural textures of wood, linen, cotton. I found this editorial on Zara Home and was positively surprised. Contemporary, with modern elements, kept humble and fresh. I wish to see such an inspiring children rooms more often! 

Planes, trains & automobiles

We are not leaving the toddlers’ playground from our last post : Let's Play with Monsters but we just keep playing. The theme chosen to create this room was all that moves : planes, trains and automobiles. My boys’ would love it!  Rafa-kids R toddler bed with wheels, fits perfectly here. How is it possible, that I never thought about it before! 

This beautiful styling was created by Jessica Hanson and photographed by Sam McAdam-Cooper, 

for Australian magazine InsideOut.

I don’t even know where to start to say what I like the most about this set. The Aeroplane shelf is just so cool. Personalised wooden letters with the name of your child, and little cloud lamp, and wooden planes flying around….. little details, making this minimal and modern space so special.  Of course this BLUE! what a beautiful, colour to choose for a child’s room. It makes it so dreamy and relaxed.

Let's Play with Monsters

How does the room of 6 years old look like? My son Robert, who is this age dreams about a 'BIG  BOYS' bed, as he still sleeps in his R toddler bed. He shares a room with his brother, so putting 2 F bunk beds in this space, is simply impossible. We are still in a hunt for a bigger house to make his dreams come true. 

He likes to spend time to draw, to make little notes to us, as he started to learn writing and reading, which is very fascinating! Of course he loves to Play. What about drums?  Or pillow fight, especially when they are so cool in the shape of Monsters…he is very active and he is everywhere. 

In our studio he found his perfect spot under the F bunk bed, where we put the B bench. Do you like it? We designed this bench, to fit between the ladders, and are so happy to see how great it is working  'in action'.  The space under the F bunk bed looks now so defined and different. 

And we made a MOVIE!  

We are absolutely hooked to this new tool, and hope you will like it as much as Rafa do. 

Please watch…it is so much Fun. Don’t forget to turn the music on.

MOVIE time with Rafa

Since I remember we wanted to create Rafa-kids movies.

It is such a great way to show how beautiful and playful our furniture is in real. Each time we build a set for new pictures in our studio, we just wish to keep it for as long as possible, or invite people over to show it. Many of you live far away, so we needed to do it in a different way. 

Today I’m so exited to invite you to our studio and feel the atmosphere 
of “ Splash of Yellow “ 
Cosy , soft toddler room which we created in collaboration with Danish brand Fabelab. 

I hope you can see how much we care for each details not only of our furniture, 
but all the accessories we use in this set. Let’s bring a sunny and positive vibe.

Rafa-kids & Fabelab

There were boxes of beautiful stuff arriving from Copenhagen to our studio last week. We teamed up with Danish brand Fabelab and received their gorgeous textiles, cuddly toys and tipi tent. We love to collaborate with other creative brands, so setting up this toddler room was for us such a treat . Beautiful shades of grey, soft pink and reach textures of felt baskets from our collection are the main theme of this latest Rafa-kids inspirational photoshoot. We would not be ourself without adding a splash of yellow into this Scandinavian calmness! 

We selected All White furniture of Rafa-kids, to give a great base to play around with these Scandinavian accessories. You know how much I like baskets! Remember this blog post ? Well, I think they are such a great way to store kids’s toys. The tipi tent gives such a dreamy atmosphere to this space. I think we will keep this set in our studio for some longer time....

What you can find in this room ? Here is a little help.

Easton's Nursery with Rafa-kids L shelf

Don’t you just adore this beautiful Easton's nursery room ? Minimalistic, modern and cosy at the same time. This wallpaper is so adorable! Belinda from Topknotmum, did such a wonderful work for her son. It’s good to see, that if it comes to a first baby space, we don’t need too many elements, to create serene nursery room. I know, it is so tempting to spend too much money, when we expect a child and would like all the best possible, but accully we really don’t need that much. And believe me, each year, many toys and accessories will pop in into this room,  even if we don’t want to…. Let’s start it as simple as possible, what do you think ?

I’m also so glad to show you for the first time, that Rafa-kids furniture can be used for a nursery room, and grow with the child. The L shelf can be used above commode for more practical reason, or like in Easton's nursery, to give a special place for all the favourite and special first belongings of a baby. When Easton will grow, his mom can just simply change all the elements and give the L shelf totally different look…and Easton will be probably soon hanging his own clothes there to.

Modern family home in Warsaw

We love to discover homes of Rafa-kids customers! This time we would like to show you a wonderful family in Warsaw. Please meet Ignacy and his parents Marysia, and Mateusz. He is a lawyer and she is a specialist in new media, 16 years together and a happy parents of 2 years old Ignacy. Marysia and Mateusz are lovers of minimalism, architecture and traveling. Their kitchen, dining room and living room form an open space, which bustles with family life and laugh of their son. As you can see their favourite colours are white, grey and they appreciate classic design and light. Together with Ignacy they like to build, assemble, paint and draw. Cardboard is now a favourite material to invent various family games. 

Child’s room is also simple and minimal. Wooden floor warms the interior as well as the book collection and toys. Favourite Ignacy toys are : wooden vehicles, wooden figures of animals and red wooden car parking.  Rafa-kids R toddler bed in white fits perfectly into this modern space and is covered with planty of soft toys.  What a wonderful sleeping corner for a little boy….
