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. 

Girls’ room; Hideandsleep Interiors

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.

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.

Monday inspiration - Clothes rack for children's rooms

What do you think about using clothes in children's room as decoration ? I can imagine, it is a shame to hide in the closet, this one favourite, beautiful dress of your little girl, that she waited and wanted for so long. Or maybe the dress she was wering on her first birthday ? We would like to keep this memory forever, right ?  For an older child, having clothes on a rack feels a bit like being in a store,  where you can easily reach it, see whats there and play with it. 

I hope that when we buy less, but very consciously, it would be nice to appreciate the well made, and designed pieces and give them a special place in a child's room. On the other hand, we can hide the rest of garments in a closet.  You can create such a beautiful clothes rack, from wooden sticks, for more natural look or use a standart metal adult Clothes rack. There is a plenty of options if you like the idea. Rafa-kids has also designed a beautiful L shelf with a metal rack to hang the favourite garments of your child. 

Wishing you a wonderful new week! 

Thank you for inspiration

Magic Grey - Emsloo

Do you still follow many blogs ? I have only few very favourite ones. From time to time I discover a new blog and just dive into it. It happened to me with Blog - Emsloo. A magic countryside house in Sweden, with two kids playing around and talented mom capturing their every day life.This calm atmosphere is what I need from time to time, especially now actually in this hectic period. Many of you are probably also busy with festive season’s preparations so I will not take a lot of your precious time….
