Harry Potter bedroom dreams with Pottery Barn Kids

Drawing inspiration from the characters, symbols and spells of Harry Potter, the latest Pottery Barn Kids range, Harry Potter Collections, has landed in Australia. And with its lush velvets, hand-stitched celestial details, deep colours and Christmas decorations it’s sure to be a hit across the globe this festive season.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the Harry Potter franchise and embark on a new chapter with Pottery Barn Kids,” says Jennifer Kellor, president of Pottery Barn Kids of the range that includes furniture, textiles, decorative accessories, entertaining essentials, holiday decor and gifting.

Standout items include a life-sized Hogwarts Express Train Bed as well as nursery and kids’ room bedding including a deep red corduroy Patchwork Quilt, Quidditch Shaped Pillow and Hogwarts Crest Pillow.

The other standout look for kids is comprised of dusty blue and cream tones with luminous gold detailing featuring magical, mystical woven creatures. The hand stitched Hedwig Comforter is particularly beautiful – it features Harry Potter’s snowy owl Hedwig against a starry night sky and solid navy fabric on the reverse.

The baby offering is rather gorgeous too. I love the Patronus Damask fitted cot sheet with its deep burgundy hue and whimsical illustrations

Take 5 with Shaynna Blaze

After a year and a half of running our weekly post, Olivia’s Fab Four, we thought it was time for a change! Rather than hearing about my favourite things, we thought each week we’d shine the spotlight on some of Australia’s best designers, artists and stylists and have them share with us what’s making them tick; anything from their favourite cafe and shop to their favourite book and musician.

So up first, it’s the woman who needs no introduction, Shaynna Blaze (she’s the judge on The Block and the interior designer on Selling Houses Australia, in case you’ve been living under a rock!).

1. What’s your favourite holiday destination?

I think the last holiday I went on become my favourite, visiting Lake Como, Venice, Florence and New York all in the past few months…. it is hard to pick a favourite! But I have to say Paris still has my heart as the most magical holiday destination.

2. What’s your favourite book?

I haven’t read it myself but I will say the Harry Potter series, as it taught my kids to be lost in the fantasy world of storytelling and showed them how visual the printed word could be.

3. What’s your go-to recipe?

For winter you can’t go past pumpkin soup. Once you have the ingredients it’s fast, easy and healthy. Basic stock, lots of pumpkin, garlic, grated ginger, a sprinkling of goat’s cheese and fresh coriander and it’s all done in 20 minutes.

4. What’s your favourite piece of furniture?

I have just acquired my chair Cary from my collection with Molmic and it’s the chair everyone wants to claim as their own. It’s so ridiculously comfortable you know it’s the chair to curl up on and never leave. My husband thinks it’s his, but have I got news for him!

5. Who’s your favourite musician?

I love Alicia Keys as she writes and plays her own music and has such an incredible voice; it is mesmerising, sassy and gutsy all at the same time.
