Nature Calling
It’s safe to say that when it comes to choosing paint, it really is a bit of a jungle out there.
If you follow our posts you’ll know that paint is a hot topic around here. Afterall, it’s the starting point of any interior makeover, so it’s vital you make the right choice.
Our mantra is to keep it simple. For this theme, we’d recommend picking one colour for the walls. Consider greens, browns, oranges or yellows as a good starting point.
For inspiration, check out Lick Paint. This fun brand has an extensive array of colours to choose from and is a great mid range option, without blowing the budget. Order their tester pots and try them out on the wall near natural light to get the best idea for what you like.
Farrow & Ball are another excellent choice, though not quite as kind on the purse strings, the quality can’t be underestimated and the finish is supreme. Plus, all of their paints are produced using eco-friendly formulas, for that added peace of mind. You can read more about their sustainable practices.
Introducing an accent wall is a simple hack that works really well. Alternatively why not try this clever idea by Pretty in Print. The scalloping detail works well and is oh so dreamy. It’s easy to achieve too. Believe it or not, drawing them on the wall using the top of a cereal bowl will do the trick nicely.
On Safari
If you’re thinking of adding new furniture pieces, then what could be more fitting than these uber chic lockers from Mustard Made. Available in a variety of sizes and colours, they make a stunning addition as well as providing plenty of practical storage space for clothing, books and treasures.
If you're really going for it, words simply cannot describe this impressive treehouse bed - the perfect set up for adventure, it's the stuff childhood dreams are made of. A true investment piece, it features 2 beds, a hideout and a slide to whizz out of bed each morning!
Adding shelving in natural materials such as bamboo and cane will elevate this look further. Then as a final flourish, decorate with cute wooden animals. We love these sweet animal pals from Tender Leaf Toys.
If storage is your bag, you can’t go wrong with a woven basket. Lightweight, transportable and just the ticket for housing little bits and bobs. These gems from small UK brand Bellybambino are a delight and you can even choose from some amazing animal characters like this happy looking lion. What a handsome guy.
Let them get amongst nature with some lovely soft furnishings to finish off the look. Accent cushions and textured rugs add warmth and a cosy feel to any space. Think animal faces mixed with a sprinkling of velvet in earthy tones. Take a peek at these beauties, that bring allll the fun.
Hello there washable rugs. We’ve sung their praises before and yes, they really are a thing. We can vouch for these beauties by Lorena Canals. They are sure to give any room a touch of ‘Rainforest chic’. Totally machine washable and super soft to boot. The perfect addition to a kids room because, well let's face it, kids can be messy can’t they.
