There are so many things that turn a house in to a home – from books to souvenirs and everything in between. One of my must haves to make a house a home is art; lots of it and in every room. I’m always looking to add to my collection of wall art and my latest find are these adorable black and white prints for a kids room. How cute are they?
For me no room in any home is complete without some art. Kids rooms are no exception but usually I’m not a fan of the over cute, over colourful, cartoon style art. There are some exceptions but generally I prefer ageless art; something everybody can relate to. I also prefer art that grows with your child so you don’t have to replace it every few years. When I came across these posters, they were exactly the kind of art that could go on the walls of any room of a home but something everybody can connect with. Striking and minimal, these animal posters are cool and really draw you in. There are a load of animals from bats to koalas but my favourite is the simplest of them all – the whales. I especially love these black and white animal posters for a bright, white modern baby nursery.

I know that black and white kids decor isn’t for everyone but I am a big fan. So if you are a fan like me then this new Dutch shop is for you. En Las Nubes does some of the cutest black and white posters, wall stickers and decorations for kiddies as well as some adorable tees. There are lots of stars, triangles, clouds and raindrops featured on a range of goodies, all in black and white but sometimes with a hint of pink or grey. I’m especially loving those sweet posters that have happy little thoughts printed on them.
My brother and sister-in-law are total art lovers and wherever they travel they pick up a painting by a local artist as a souvenir. I think this is such a lovely way of remembering your travels and combining your love of art. They always try and buy an original because given a choice I think anyone would opt for this over a print and very often you can get your hands on originals for not a lot of money. While there is a lot of great original art out there, it’s not often that I come across cool original paintings for kids and so when I saw these by Adriane Duckworth I had to share. The art is delightfully simple yet striking and I love the uncomplicated nature of the drawings. My favourites are the black and white animal paintings and I love the black clouds too but there are some bright coloured ones available as well. While Adriane’s style is minimalist and modern, it has plenty of warmth and cuteness too! You can see more and checkout her selection at Society 6.
One of the most fun parts of decorating a kids room is choosing something for the walls. As there is so much wonderful art out there, picking isn’t always easy. I’m still trying to choose something for my daughters room and I’ve already been looking for a year now! But my problem isn’t not finding the right prints, it’s finding too many that I love. And this is my latest discovery… how adorable is that circus elephant? I’m also drawn to the simple palette of mainly black and white with touches of colour. Just lovely!
These kids posters are created by Kerry Layton, an illustrator from North London. She is a mama of 2 who recently re-discovered her love for drawing which resulted in her setting up a little boutique to sell her prints. Called Seventy Tree, the shop sells mainly prints and postcards but there are some super cute pocket mirrors too, all adorned with Kerry’s drawings. My favourite is the elephant but I’m also drawn to the close up of the bear whose shifty eyes are making me wonder what naughtiness has transpired. Favourites aside, they’re all quite wonderful.
