Blue Half Painted Walls in children’s rooms

We are back to our Monday’s posts with inspiring children’s rooms. 
Today I would like to show you two trends in one post
Did you notice such a popular idea of half painted walls in a room ? 
Well, I like it a lot especially in children spaces. 

How to do it ? It is good to select one or two walls and after paining it create around it an unique atmosphere for your child. Putting the bed next to the wall can be a great deal , since it creates immediately a cosy sleeping corner.  A little chair, night shelf and you got it! I’ve also found some nice examples for using half painted wall for a child’s working corner.  Wall painted half, will make room look a bit smaller so I think it is more suitable for spaces with high ceilings. 

Second trend I’ve noticed is the use of DARK BLUE colour in home deco. It is so beautiful! Great refreshment after the black ones, don’t you think?  I secretly hope it will be popular colour for this up coming Autumn.  Let’s combine it with ochre, mustard and brown or even yellow. All the rooms I’ve selected have this very pure and serene looks. Not much furniture, products, just some very essentials - so simple. It gives a rest, so good for our little ones. Let’s calm them down a bit, if possible!

Dream Big - modern nursery

It’s not often, if ever, that I show you a nursery room on the blog.
This one however I found so special that I just needed to present it to you. 

Little boy Marin is a 3rd child of talented illustrator and stylist Faustiane. Her blog Jesus-sauvage is filled with plenty of inspiration for your home not to mention, she has a fabulous house herself, which you can spot sometimes on her very popular Instagram account. Well, that’s a little introduction if you don’t know her already. No surprice, that this mom with a good sense of style has created this modern nursery for her little boy.

The room was created as a part of a larger room of parents. I really like this way of dividing a room. Glass panes visually connect the space and keep a lot of light. The base of the room is kept in white, together with basic furniture in the same finish. I absolutely adore the way the String shelve system was used in this room.  Remember my post about String here ? I haven’t seen it before in a room for a little baby. Everything is so well arranged and organised. The little hang wardrobe is just adorable! When Marin will grow up, he can easily use the shelves for other purposes in his toddler or teenager room. The colour shame is also so nice. The blue with mustard and stylish accessories.  
What do you like the most about the room ?

I’m so exited to start a new week with pictures of new ZARA mini Autumn 16 campaign
Can you spot Rafa-kids new B Bench in there ? How cool is that! 

I was always a big fan of work of the Dutch stylists Jantine Vaartjes and Vivian Hoebe who are running unique studio April and May . It is not the first time that they work for ZARA - you can find the old post about it here. I think our new BB bench fits the minimal and warm look of the collection so well, enriched by using a simple elements. Photographed by BEELDSTEIL. I hope you are well and it’s going to be a good new week ahead of us.

We are back….
4 weeks off, 4 weeks without connection with the internet world. I hope you are still hanging around here through my very long break. It feels a bit difficult to catch up with all what happened during this break, so please give me some time to adapt. Our boys are staring school this Monday and I will be back to work straight away.  It was so good to relax, walk endlessly on the sand beach and do not plan, do not rush at all…. I selected few of my favourite vacation pictures and I promise that everything will be back to normal on the blog very soon.

“ One of the biggest luxuries in modern life is unscheduled, uncommitted time. 
Defend it fiercely and value it. FREE TIME. It is not wasted. 
Your brain needs it to filter through the daily assault of information and come up with new ideas. “ 
 Ilse Crawford book “ The Sensual Home “ highly recommended.
