Home interiors and aesthetic can get extra creative and joyful when you move into the kid’s zone of a home, with opportunities for character prints, colour and fun toy displays which blend seamlessly into their fashion.
Growing up is all about exploring and learning, and we love brands that create something original that can become precious memories and keepsakes from childhood. Check out a few of our favourite children’s brands below!
Aden & Anais
Aden & Anais is a fabulous choice for baby muslins and bedsheets. They source the finest yarns and design original prints that make each item a high-quality essential and future keepsake.
They’re a perfect one-stop shop for aesthetically and beautifully pulling together a collection of must-have muslins as well as baby’s sleep and cuddle time essentials. Besides creating unique prints, we love the choices of fabric available, from gentle cotton to silky soft bamboo infused muslin to soft and buttery knits.
Isla and Wilbur
Isla and Wilbur create the most enchanting characters and design which flow into the creation of their pyjamas, linens and fabrics for little ones. Isla and Wilbur was born from founders’ Hamish and Emma Dalrymple’s passion to reignite their childhoods in Scotland and The Cotswolds. The characters reflect the farm life they knew and loved growing up, and the adorable hand-drawn characters Isla the lamb and Wilbur the Highland calf were born.
Our favourite picks are their pyjamas, nightdresses and dressing gowns available for ages up to nine years-old, made with 100 % cotton. They also sell fabric to continue the design into any children’s room, available by the metre. With a curtain maker in house, you can reach out to have a set of curtains or blinds custom made with their fabric too!
Great Little Trading
With all their products safety tested, sustainable and designed in house, Great Little Trading is an award-winning children’s retailer with every product created with a purpose. Their range focuses on three important areas: smart and pretty wooden toys to encourage learning through play, clever storage solutions to help parents organise and simplify their homes; and well-designed children’s furniture and accessories to create the perfect spaces to grow, play, learn and sleep.
With clean, natural and minimalist designs, each piece easily works with any particular interior aesthetic you might be aiming for in your children’s rooms.
