room for sisters

set of 2 beds  F&A from Rafa-kids

I've noticed that there is many ideas for a single room for a child, 
but what happens if two kids are sharing one space ?
How we can keep it personal for each of them and at the same time create a unity ? 
Today I've made a little mood board for two girls sharing one room. They are sisters in similar age of 6-9 . I think It's good to buy the same big furniture pieces, like beds, storage, desks , and this will give the room a structure. With this good base, we can start to play with small accessories to express each child's personality. I really like this big letter shelves, which immediately personalize a corner of each girl.  We can also hang things above the beds: posters, drawings, dresses that the child likes and make the part of  the room more personal. Different bedding sets for each child, pillows,  will do the work too. Then will be good to devote a part of the room, which will be used 'together' . I've choose a tipi, but it can be a nice siting corner or just open space when the sisters can play ....

news from design letters & friends

Stool & Storage stool, designed by Christian Flindt
 design letters  & friends at m&o 2014
alphabet pencil design letters  & friends

Every day we use the small white cups with letters R and F from Design Letters ;-) 
It's all based on the same Arne Jacobsen’s vintage typography. 
This Danish company have launched a ton of new design products at Maison & Objet 2014 in Paris. 

I especially like the Stool & Storage stool, designed by Christian Flindt
It is a multifunctional stool with built-in storage , so perfect for an extra seat, for laundry, 
kids toys etc. so it could stand in a bathroom, hall , children's room, 
and that's what I call a good design product.

Last weekend we made a little trip to Belgium. 
One of the reason was the curiosity how the Couleur Locale store in Knokke looks like and how  Rafa-kids' bed feels out there . I met Ruth, the founder of the store during a photo sesion at our studio for  Happy Lights some time ago, remember this post  Happy lights kids E-catalogue

 We were so surprised to see our A teen bed standing in a front window! and then discover this charming store. What a great mix of modern design, special objects from travel journeys of Ruth and her partner, and then also a bit of products for kids. The happy lights lamps give the store such a colorful vibe and positive energy! 

The street was so busy and packed that we escaped to the  beach pretty fast, 
which is just around the corner,  with the best ice cream ever for our kids.

magnetic dino wallpaper

magnetic dino wallpaper from Sian Zeng’s

At home I have a HUGE dino fan. He is 3 and already has bedding in dino pattern, T-shirts, trousers and of course small and big dinos all around the house to play with. He is even saying , that he is a dino himself (making a very cool noise too! ) …so you can imagine, why I have to show you THIS dinos wallpaper today!  New spring/summer collection from Sian Zeng’s  is a wonderful journey to a tropical land of mischievous Dinos with his magnetic wallpaper. The photos of Jon Day are so great and together with fresh and playful styling from Charlotte Love this is all just perfect.

OH LA LA

Le Cerise sue Gateau + Laurette butterfly chair
Le Cerise sue Gateau

Today we are mixing big neon dots with stripes 
 just because according to Anne Hubert normal is boring!

Quirky, funny and full of energy is the world of French brand La Cerise sur le Gateau. I had the chance to see the new Spring/Summer 2014 collection, called Oh LA LA at the SHOWUP Amsterdam, beginning of February. It was difficult to miss this colorful stand with so many pillows, bedding and storage boxes. Together with Laurette ( other French company having children's furniture)  they introduced into their collection butterfly chair's in different patterns. Classic shape with a funny and playful textile, which I think can be a great addition of color in a child's room.

yellow in H&M Home SS14

H&M Home SS14 tiger bedding for kids

It looks like the yellow color in the interior accessories will stay with us in 2014.
 I just came across the new H&M collection for Spring/Summer and I can see that they are proposing plenty of affordable products in this color this year. I personally really like the black & white stripes, together with yellow, which makes this a very graphic and fresh combination. Yellow color with many tones of gray, linen , wool are also very nice idea. The H&M bedding collection with dots, has it's charm too, available in yellow, blue and black and white. We will stay definitely with the cool tigers for my boys room!
