The hot list: The best new children’s interior buys

There was a time when furnishing a nursery or child’s room was rather fraught – options were slim and altogether rather uninspiring. Thankfully, the same can’t be said for the market today so we thought it was about time we compiled a list of the latest and greatest children’s interior buys.

Babyletto Lolly 3 in 1 cot in grey and washed natural: A relatively affordable alternative to the other mid-century inspired cots on the market, we love the classic styling of this gorgeous cot and the two tone detail. It’s available in plain grey, plain white and white/natural too. $749.

Petite + Peoni Crescent upholstered bedhead: Designed in collaboration with Petite Interior Co. we love the semi-circle shape and contrast double piping. $750 (single).

Bombol bouncer: This stylish bouncer features a removable harness making it suitable from birth through to the toddler years. $329.95.

Tinyme Diamond wallpaper in Frankie: Removable and able to be repositioned, this fabric wallpaper is a risk-free investment that is ideal for renters too. From $100.

The Timba Trend book shelves: Available in plain natural timber or with a contrast coloured trim (in a variety of delicious tones such as peach, aqua, pastel yellow and lilac), these handmade book shelves make the ideal library for a little one’s room. $30.

Hip Kids Benji activity table and two chair set: I can vouch for this table as my children have it! While the storage is handy, my favourite feature is the removable, reversible chalkboard table top. Who doesn’t love a multi-tasker? $249.95.

Devine Design by Derya Lion King wall rack: Made from plywood, we LOVE this for a boy’s room and at $109, it’s an absolute bargain!

The Little Pop Up Shop kid’s store reopens in Melbourne

If you’re in the market for gorgeous children’s wares and you like to shop local, look no further than The Little Pop Up Shop in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton. Loyal readers may be familiar with the last incarnation of the store, and the latest version is a collaboration between the children’s décor brand Sprout and Sparrow and the children’s interior styling company Hello Little Birdie.

“This time we have brought in over 20 online brands to give them the opportunity to test the ‘bricks and mortar’ waters themselves. We have a beautifully curated collection of children’s decor, toys, homewares and accessories,” says the shop owner Adi Stevens. With a view to stocking a different array of brands each quarter, the mix of stock should always remain fresh and interesting.

“We opened our doors last month and we have signed up each of our current brands for three months with a view to getting some new brands on board for the next three-month period beginning in September. Some of our current brands will stay but we’re looking forward to getting some lovely new brands in as well to keep the shop interesting for our customers and to provide exposure for as many wonderful small businesses as we can,” says owner Adi who has been overwhelmed by the interest from brands wishing to come on board.

Situated within the kid-friendly Brighton café Tucci Brown, Melbournites (or visitors!) can browse the shops’ goods while waiting for a coffee. “We like to think the pop up is shopping heaven for mums. With a focus on kid’s interiors, we also stock quality toys, homewares and accessories and we even have a little area set up for kids to draw and play with some of the gorgeous toys we stock,” says Adi.

Currently coveting: This serene & stylish nursery

Daughter's Room

Proving neutral needn’t mean insipid, this gorgeous light-filled nursery is the work of Adelaide based interiors stylist Maria Angus of My Mini Abode and is home to her 10 month old daughter Lola. “The brief for this space was to create a warm and whimsical, simple but stunning room for my daughter to enjoy but I also wanted it to grow with her as she gets older,” says Maria.

Daughter's Room

With more than a nod to Scandinavian design principles, the room uses a mix of white, neutrals and blonde timber with pops of colour scattered throughout. “The main pieces such as the cot, dresser and chair are in neutral tones which allows the wallpaper and accessories to pop for maximum impact,” says Maria.

Daughter's Room

One standout pop of colour is in the form of a vibrant pink abstract that was purchased with posterity in mind. “I wanted a painting for Lola’s room, something enduring and meaningful she could one day take with her when she has her own home, maybe even for her own daughter’s room one day. I spotted this in a store window one afternoon, except the store was closed! I contacted the shop via Instagram and put a deposit down without actually seeing it in the flesh. I loved it on first sight so I trusted my instincts and grabbed it before I changed my mind!” says Maria. We love the Pax & Hart swan print too.

Daughter's Room

The neutral geometric wallpaper (by Swedish designers Majvillan) is another standout feature of the room. “It really is the hero of the room! Everything else is pared back to let the wallpaper shine. The grey, pink and mustard tones mean I can easily change up the look of the room using accessories such as cushions and cot linen,” says Maria who added several other whimsical touches including hoola hoops above the dresser. “They work with the larger than average height of the wall to make the room appear bigger and it adds a special touch to the room. They reminded me of my childhood and being young and carefree! My wish for Lola,” says Maria.

Daughter's Room

Adding a lovely personal touch, the dresser was handmade by the stylist’s husband. “I love the Tasmanian Oak top on the dresser my husband lovingly made. Anything handmade with love, and that also tells a story, always means more than something store bought,” says Maria.
