LILLENORD magazine

Last week I received the very first issue of LILLENORD, a brand new and beautiful magazine representing urban nordic family lifestyle. 

Since I am always on look out for kids' interiors, I was happy to see something different than black&white Scandinavian style! The first print issue is full of inspiring Kids' fashion, Home decoration, DIY, recipes and lots more. 

The "Room Service" editorial pages, photographed by Monica Bach are my favorite, with a minimal touch and products from Lucky Boy Sunday and Ferm Living. Two scandinavian brands Lille Nord love and support, the other on their list are:  Hay, Normann Copenhagen, We Do Wood, Marimekko, Fine Little Day, Polkka Jam, Flexa, Garbo&Friends. In this issue I stopped by interesting interview with Lisa Stroander, Johanna Magoria, which are pinpointed by Lille Nord as the future of Scandinavian design. 

Thank you Lillenord for the press materials and such a inspiring magazine!

101woonideeen voor kinderen

The latest issue of the Dutch magazine 101woonideeen

 is bringing a big amount of color inspiration for children's rooms. 

My 7 years old son told me very recently that white, gray and black are the saddest colors on the planet! He doesn't really understand why our house is so monochromatic and why I paint all walls so dark gray. It was very confronting I have to confess. I do love colors, but not much in the interiors. I was trying to explain to my boy, that the white and gray are a good base to play with colors in his room…and when he got few new colorful pillows he was getting smile on his face. He announced : "colors make me happy" ! 

When I saw these colorful photos in 101woonideeen , I thought, yes some people do it so bravely and they go for such a strong yellow and neons , are you? I spot stars all over : on the wallpaper, bedding and floor….

Lille Nord magazine

I have to be honest and say there is not many children orientated e-magazines that I like. Most of them focus on fashion and are not much interested to present some modern ideas to decorate children's room.  

The scandinavian Lille Nord magazine is a big exception. It is very inspiring, full with great DIY projects and interesting children's rooms. The bold and minimalist Danish style is so present and speaks to me. I really like the DIY paper masks - you can see all the tutorial inside the magazine here : Lille Nord. 

Chloés room is so cosy but with minimalist scandinavian touch ( hay boxes, bobochoses rug on the wall, Japanese balloons) . The credits for this room goes to mimiscircus , so I guess its a room of the daughter of the owner of this very nice children shop. Pity there is no single word about it! I'm a fan of the beautiful we do wood desk, finding its place in the room. Please have a look at all magazine :  Lille Nord
