1 Comment on 10 great rugs for kids rooms

Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE Armadillo and Co rugs for kids rooms (and Jen has one at home). But it’s safe to say they’ve been the rugs of the moment for, well, significantly longer than a moment. Years! So if you’re looking for an alternative, check out our top 10 below.

With a bold triangle pattern in a contrasting palette of pinks, blues, charcoals and eggplant, the Harlequin Rug will add a playful pop of colour to your kid’s room. Available from Arro Home, it is 100% cotton, measures 120x180cm and retails for $350.Hand-woven on a loom by Indian artisans, the abstract Zeta Kilim Rug ($299) from Olli Ella is fair trade and made from New Zealand wool. Fresh, warm and rich in colour, it measures 100x140cm.

Available in a range of colours and two sizes (91x152cm and 152x244cm), the Addison Rug from Pottery Barn Kids is richly textured with a high-cut trellis design. Featuring a hand-tufted blend of pure Indian and New Zealand wool, prices start from $199. It’s the classic option.

Hand crocheted from the finest 100% cotton yarn, the Dolly Rug ($250) from La De Dah Kids can be used as a floor rug or a beautiful bed throw. With a diameter of approximately 120cm, it is available in a wide range of colours, our favourite being the mint and metallic silver.

The original Down To The Woods Freckle Rug is carefully handmade in Nepal, meaning no two are exactly the same. Made from 100% pure New Zealand wool, it is oh so lovely to look at, but even more lovely to feel underfoot. Coming in two sizes: 100cm and 140cm, prices start at $400.

This too cute Don’t Forget To Dream Bear Rug designed by Bloomingville (and available through Leo & Bella) is durable and practical, yet whimsical enough to support your child’s wild imagination. Made from cotton and measuring 120x60cm, it retails for $99. On sale, the Kip and Co Pastel Croc Dhurrie Rug from Shelter 7 is available for the affordable price of $292.50. Hand woven from 100% cotton in India, it measures 120x180cm.

The Stef Cloud Rug is a contemporary and fun. Handmade using 100% felted wool, it is available in two sizes (74x52cm and 120x80cm) and many colours. Prices start from $59.99.

Available for the bargain price of $49.95, the Floor Filla Rug is perfect for the on-trend, monochrome look. Designed by Cotton On, it measures 150x190cm.

Brand new, the Doughnut Felt Ball Rug is sweet deliciousness in a rug! Available from Happy As Larry Designs, the 100cm diameter retails for $399.

Our homes may be getting smaller, but we are accumulating more and more stuff. So rather than hide it all in the linen cupboard (and make it so full you’re scared to even open it… surely I can’t be the only one!) invest in some great storage options, that are both convenient and beautiful.

Wire Wall Basket from Down To The Woods: Referring to itself as the magazine holder “not just for magazines” we recommend popping your fruit and veg, shoes or scarves (preferably not at the same time!) into these convenient, out-of-the-way wall baskets. Coming in five colours and made from powder coated metal, each retails for $49.95.

THE SANTIAGO Medium Box Storage Stand from Sagitine: Coming in both white and black, this premium storage stand (which comes with six boxes) keeps your much-loved shoes and clothes in flawless preservation. Retailing for $1,341, it captures the elegance of good design and the impression of beautiful furniture, while being practical and functional.

Hang Coat Rack With Black Hooks by Established & Sons from Living Edge: A gentle pull unfolds this hang coat stand to its full width, allowing for plenty of garments to be stored upon it and a series of low-level hooks meaning children can use it too. When closed, the coat stand is compact and neat, easy to store and transport. It retails for $585.

Odense European Oak Display Cabinet by Bent Design Studio from Huset: Combining the beauty of natural solid Oak with contemporary design elements like one-touch pop open drawers and black steel feet, this cabinet is both stylish and provides easy, appealing storage. It retails for $1995.

Round Polished Brass Wall Hook from Zakkia: Decorate your wall with a group of these in various sizes, or stick to the same size for a clean look. Prices start at $29 for the smallest size.

Priscilla Bookcase by Formabilio from Ipso Mofo: Bookcase come showcase come cabinet, the Priscilla is perfect for highlighting all your fave treasures and trinkets. With its peep holes, it’s up to you what you hide or show off. Made from 100% European Birch Ply, it is available in three colours and retails for $1289.

IKEA PS 2014 corner cabinet from IKEA: Taking up little space by fitting snugly into tight corners, it still allows for plenty of practical storage. Used either with the included legs or mounted on the wall, it also features adjustable shelves. Coming in both pink and white it retails for $149.

Block Table by Normann Copenhagen from Surrounding: A mobile side table on wheels, this light and airy piece of furniture can be easily moved around using its four handles, which are natural extensions of the legs. Used as a side table, coffee table or bedside table, it comes in six colours, is made from steel and Ash and retails for $465.

Natural Belly Basket from Olli Ella: Ethically sourced and free trade, each basket is hand-made by female artisans in Vietnam. Perfect for the living room, playroom, kids bedroom or nursery, they come in a range of colours and sizes, with a starting price of $29.

Conveyor Shelving Unit 192cm in Distressed Natural from Freedom: This industrial-meets-modern shelving unit is inspired by plumbing piping and joints and is rendered in matte black powder coated steel. Both stylish and functional, it is available in two practical sizes. Prices start at $699.

No Comments on Incy Interiors bring cool kids’ bedrooms to Sydney

Creator of cult cots Incy Interiors, have opened an exciting new store in Sydney’s Chatswood Chase. If you’re looking for inspiration for a cool nursery or kids’ room, look no further!

Bathurst based since launching three years ago, Incy interiors, which has seen huge popularity and growth, is expanding to the big city. Their products are now stocked in more than 120 stores across Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong, as well as online.

Founder and director Kristy Withers said its Sydney store opening was the next logical step: “We have received great support from our customers since we opened our Bathurst store in 2012, but were constantly asked if we had a Sydney presence. We’re really excited to welcome existing Sydney customers and also introduce ourselves to a new pool of Incy fans.

The 10 best places to buy Aussie kids’ line online.

“Many customers still prefer to buy from a traditional bricks-and-mortar store. They like to touch and feel a product before they buy it, especially if it’s for their child.”

The new store is beautifully styled and full-to-the-brim with its award-winning furniture ranges. The timeless pieces include cots, beds, bookcases, change tables, dressers and side tables. Queen-sized designs (so kids don’t have all the fun) and the much-lauded Megan Morton limited edition beds are also available in store.

As well as Incy’s own full range, there’s an extensive selection of premium Australian brands including Kip & Co, Blacklist Studio, Armadillo, Down to the Woods, Aura, Ladedah Kids, Kate & Kate, Love Mae, and Seedling.

Incy Interiors, Shop 219, Chatswood Chase Shopping Centre, 345 Victoria Avenue, Chatswood, NSW.

Open seven days.

12 Comments on And the winner of December 7 Vignettes is…

It was my first time judging for a long time (let’s face it, having a guest judge is just copping out of what is always a very hard decision!) but this month, despite the many amazing entries, I felt Michelle Cann (thecinnamonfox) really did stand out.

The sandcastles and smashed pomegranate really did it for me!

The simplicity of wire and a pop of colour make for storage and decor delights

Yes, The Woodsfolk have done it again with their latest wire wares in store. Love me a bit of good looking storage!

The magazine racks above are $35. So simple yet so effective: wire and pops of colour. Not only do they look good (especially on that dark wall), they’ll help you get organised and tidy! The square crates below are $75 and could be used on their side or on the floor, even mounted on a wall. I think I need some for my office!

And what about this wall candy? The arrow ($30 & $45), heart ($90) and lover ($154) signs are so cool! I love the simplicity of them.
