Incy Interiors: the Australian kids interiors success story

No Comments on Incy Interiors: the Australian kids interiors success story

Here at Interiors Addict we are big fans of Incy Interiors, so much so that Jen chose their Lucy change table in mint to be a feature in her nursery (the big reveal will come once it’s finished, we promise)! And we’re not the only ones. Their cots, in particular, can be seen all over magazines, blogs and Pinterest!

[contextly_sidebar id=”BI8kcZPH2FiUFF4E4DbTUXVNsOlah7cD”]Starting four years ago, Incy Interiors began making designer children’s furniture, before more recently adding adult bedroom furniture to their repertoire. With a new flagship store in Sydney’s Chatswood Chase, the once one-woman show has now grown into a team of 13 and founder Kristy Withers has one person to thank: her son, Oscar.

“Finding the perfect big boy bed for my son Oscar inspired the launch of Incy,” explains Kristy. “I searched and searched for over six months to try to find the perfect brown iron bed. I had seen lots of gorgeous beds overseas and I tried to import them. I also tried to have them made here, as well as buying an old one and re-spraying it, but it was either too expensive or I was worried about the safety.”

So instead, Kristy decided to start from scratch herself, designing and making what would be the first of many beds, the aptly titled Oscar. And while she admits she’ll always have a soft spot for her first creation, nowadays her personal favourite product is the Eden (rose gold) bed, because as Kristy so rightly says: “What girl doesn’t want a gold bed?!”

As a huge fan of metallics, Kristy is glad to see them gaining in popularity. And with a personal redecorating project on the cards, transitioning her daughter’s nursery to a big girl’s room, a peach and rose gold colour palette is currently the frontrunner. “Monochrome and pastels are still going strong but I’m excited to see that metallics, especially copper and rose gold, are making an appearance in the nurseries of some super cool new arrivals.”

For Kristy, nurseries need to tick two boxes: to be a haven for the new arrival, whilst also fitting into the rest of the house. So to make this room a reality, Kristy recommends spending the big bucks on one or two statement pieces and going for more thrifty pieces elsewhere. “The absolute must-buy product is a beautiful cot. Even in the smallest of spaces, a divine cot allows you to create a beautiful space for your little one. If space and budget allow, a good change table and comfortable (but also stylish) chair will make those hours of feeding and changing a lot easier. Then if you have those gorgeous pieces that grab your attention, you can go for more budget savvy items elsewhere.”

Best kids’ beds: our top 10

No Comments on Best kids’ beds: our top 10

Having already had the challenge of narrowing our favourite kids’ bed linen down to 10, we thought the next best thing to do was to find the 10 best kids’ beds! After all, there’s no point having gorgeous linen if you have nothing to put it on. So check out the amazing ones below and get ready for some serious kid envy!

Fenwick Bedhead from Heatherly Design Bedheads: Offering a whole lot of freedom from the comfort of your own home, simply log on, choose your fabric and then tailor the cross stitching to suit. Available in a huge array of fabrics, colours and sizes (single to super king), you can also purchase an upholstered bed to match.

Miller Bed from Incy Interiors: Classic, timeless and coming in the most gorgeous emerald colour, the popular Miller (available in single and king single) is expertly crafted out of sturdy and strong metal. Available in a range of Dulux colours, you can also purchase matching bedroom furniture to create the perfect restful space.

The Pop bed by Hardwick & Cesko: This made to order Tasmanian oak and pine number is currently sold out but due to be available early this year. We love the fun Australian design by David Hardwick, based on paddle pop sticks.

Sleigh Bed from Lilly & Lolly: A real big boy/girl bed, this classic Sleigh Bed features curved sides to create a sense of privacy and comfort. Available in single, king single and double, a trundle comes as an optional extra.

Kalon Caravan Divan Bed from Kido Store: The perfect big kid bed for your toddler, the Kalon Caravan Divan can also transition seamlessly into a couch, so you can have it for years to come! Small in size and low to the ground, there are six colour options.

Madeline Canopy Bed from Pottery Barn Kids: It was my childhood dream to have a four-poster, so I know the Madeline Canopy Bed, with its intricate floral moulding and fluted posts, would have gone down a treat! As an extra, the mattress platform can be raised to accommodate a trundle or lowered to create a comfortable height for small children.

Sunday Bed from Bednest: With its winged sides, the Sunday Bed is the perfect cosy cocoon. In single and king single (with tall and trundle options also available), you can customise the bed thanks to a wide variety of fabrics; from the neutral tones that will stand the test of time to the totally impractical but fun bright colours.

Oeuf Perch Bunk from Out of the Cot: Incredibly versatile, the Oeuf Perch Bunk (in birch or walnut) can be configured as a traditional bunk to save space, an L-shaped bunk to fit into unusual spaces, or alternatively both beds can be separated; so you can set up the top bed in one room (with cupboard, dresser or desk underneath) and the lower bed in another — two rooms done! We love the flexibility of this one, meaning you’ll get use out of both beds for years to come.

Nifty Junior Bed from Ubabub: Starting as a cot, the Nifty converts easily to a junior bed, the perfect next step for a toddler. With its ‘not-so-big’ size and close proximity to the floor, the solid and beautifully designed bed will provide a sense of familiarity and comfort.

Huckleberry Bed from Bedtime: Made from reclaimed pine, no two beds are the same. Ideal for the rough and tumble of a child’s room, this bed will be all the better, not the worse, for wear! Available in single and king single, there is a wide range of matching accessories, including trundles, bedside tables and bed guards.

We hope you found this list useful. Please let us know which beds you’d add!

Incy Interiors bring cool kids’ bedrooms to Sydney

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.

Megan Morton in four-poster collaboration with Incy Interiors

Post date August 21, 2014

The familiar look of a traditional four-poster bed has been given a modern makeover with Megan Morton calling it the little black dress of the bedroom world! The new range from the super stylist and Incy Interiors features a simple metal design, complete with a matte finish in your choice of black or creamy white. Of course, it being Incy, you can request custom colours too.

Initially specialising in children’s interiors, Incy have more recently granted the requests of fans by branching out to include queen size, and finally, king size beds (I have long had my eye on the Eden in rose gold). Founder and director Kristy Withers said that a collection as special as this one should be shared by children and parents alike, hence the four-posters coming in single size too. “The classic design of the Megan Morton Collaboration will suit bedrooms for people of all ages. Its simplistic lines and neutral tones will complement rooms with both classic and modern designs.”

Megan and Kristy met last year when the Incy team attended Megan’s children’s bedroom workshop at The School. “We learned a lot about how customers might be decorating their rooms with our beds,” Kristy said.

“I once designed a bed (for a client) to suit the joys of using an iPad in bed,” Megan said. “This is my tonic to that bed: a bed that doesn’t encourage a virtual life! This bed is in favour of sleep and love and fun only. But I also wanted a bed that wasn’t a low rider. Something princess and the pea-ish, but without all the pomp. Something you can hang your clothes over if you need to, or dress with flowers. Something that would take antique linen as well as sateen cotton. A bed that would add a feature to a featureless room or work to downplay any inherent architecture.

“What I have learned from years of bed styling and room drooling is that most people do have a lovely bed but then feel the need to fill that space above bed with painting or large scale ‘something.’ This bed does away with that and fills the room perfectly.”

Kristy reveals her own bedroom is a family affair: “Having two kids who like to hop into bed with us in the early morning, a king size bed is mandatory for us. I am almost beside myself with excitement that the four-poster comes in a king size as a queen has been the largest we have gone to in the past. Now I just need to decide on the colour – I can’t choose between the navy and pistachio!”

Megan says she designed the bed to be an ultimate bedroom solver, giving you the framework to add your own twist. “I see it as the little black dress of the interiors world, it’s so versatile and adaptable, you can dress it up one day and give it a completely different look the next. I want to get one for sleeping on and a second to hang all my clothes and maxis from. The structure really is perfect!”

Incy Interiors have grown quickly and built a reputation for themselves. “We come from a big family (our dad is one of nine) and we have been brought up with strong family values. Not only is most of the Incy team family, but our two manufacturers are also family businesses. It’s so great to see our manufacturers grow as we do. The manufacturer we have had since inception is two brothers who were also a start-up company. They have since grown from five employees to over 40.”

We love your Aussie business success story Incy, can’t wait to see what you do next!

The four-poster beds are available in single ($799), queen ($1,299) and king ($1,599) from Incy Interiors online. Their new Chatswood Chase store in Sydney is due to open at the end of September. More stockists will be announced soon.

Incy Interiors and Kip & Co collaborate on a fun kids’ line

Incy Interiors and Kip & Co are two companies who pride themselves on designing products to make interiors unique, playful and anything but traditional. When I found out that they were collaborating on a line of kids’ beds and cots I was extremely excited to see what they had in store, and they didn’t disappoint!

Vibrant and stylish, these unisex kids’ beds ($699) and cots ($999) are made with multi-coloured panels and come in a range of combinations, anything from melon yellow to magenta and rose.

Available from September, Incy Interiors founder Kristy Withers believes this collaboration is a match made in heaven: “I’ve always loved the colourful combinations and unique designs the Kip & Co girls come up with and it’s really exciting to have their input into this exclusive range.”

Kip & Co co-founder Kate Heppell agrees: “Collaborating with Incy Interiors was a natural extension for us. This collaboration proves that the fun shouldn’t stop with just the bedding. We were able to create beds that blend great design, colour and a hint of playfulness, perfect for those cheeky kids.”

The range will be available for purchase online and word on the street is that Incy Interiors are opening a store in Sydney’s Chatswood Chase next month, so you may just be able to pop in and grab them there yourself. Watch this space…

3 Comments on 10 great finds for kids rooms you can buy online

I love the personalised name pillowcases from Little Louli. Hand screenprinted and $35 each.

Fromage La Rue’s new, smaller letter lights, Petite Vegas, are not quite available yet but you can get your name on the waiting list for your little person’s letter (or indeed your own initial!). They’re about 30cm high and with safe, low voltage LED lights, perfect for a night light. They’ll be $150 with free shipping.

The new Cotton On Kids bed linen is fun, very affordable and available to buy online.

Shop at Sydney’s My Bespoke Chair for a custom chair (and even coordinating cushion) for your little prince or princess. You can even design it yourself online with their clever tool. From $850 with free delivery.

If I had a child, they’d have one of these Incy Interiors beds. I just love the rose gold version as it’ll go with most colour schemes and I mean really, what kid wouldn’t want a gold bed?! From $649 for a single, it’s a great update of a classic shape.

I’ve been a big fan of Aura linen for a long time, so I was happy to see they now do all their quilt covers in kid-friendly single size too. The brand does mix and match so well, you’re bound to find a cool combo for your kid! PERFECT for tweens and teens too.

These gold foiled prints from Papier d’Amour would look great in a child’s bedroom. $30 unframed or $80 framed. Buy online.

Armadillo & Co are pretty much Aussie rug royalty and if you’ve got money to spend, you should definitely consider something from their Junior Collection. They’re not too childish so they could easily take a child from toddler to teen years. From $255.

These colourful wire baskets from Lilly & Lolly are brilliant for chucking toys or laundry into and come in a variety of colours and sizes. From $22.

The Booksee is a great way to display kids books, making reading appealing and adding colour and interest to their walls. $199 for a set of two from Ubabub.

What are your favourite places to shop for kids rooms? I’d love to hear about them.
