Have you noticed the cool cactus home decor trend? I don’t mean just the actual cactus plants, although they are pretty amazing too and a great option, if like me, you aren’t green fingered. For now I mean the cool cactus prints popping up for all kinds of home decor stuff. The almost sculptural shape of cacti lends itself so well to all kinds of things for the home. When I finish decorating my home, I know I’m going to be adding a few cactus home decor touches and definitely some real cactus which make stylish indoor plants.
With my current house renovation project I seem to be spending half my life on interiors sites, pinterest and browsing through interiors magazines. I’m definitely not complaining! Recently I’ve noticed a bit of a trend for using deep, dark blues in interiors like indigo and petrol blue. These deep blues are not colours you find everywhere so they are still quite unusual and really stand out. While they look great in dining rooms and living rooms, I think these blues would look equally fabulous in a nursery or kids room – for boy or girl. So I felt inspired to put together a mood board for a kids room using various shades of deep blue with touches of lighter blue.
One of my first ports of call for finding cute things for kids rooms in the UK is Petit Home one of my sponsors. It’s run by a French lady who has a real mix of styles in her shop so there is something for every taste. From quirky pieces like that rabbit light to more understated things like the bed linen she has. I picked a few of my favourite pieces and mixed them up with with some others to create this blue kids room moodboard. Here’s where you’ll find everything:
How cute are these vintage inspired bunny night lights? I’ve been a fan for a while but I’m especially loving these soft pastel shades. And don’t miss the ‘cheeky’ backs on these lights… too cute! Great for adding a little quirk to any retro or vintage kids room.
Lately I’ve been coming across many Scandinavian homes decorated with lots of natural wood. The look is clean and minimal but still very warm. So I started thinking about using natural wood with natural colours and fabrics for decorating a baby nursery. It’s ideal for boy or girl so if you don’t know what you’re having, you can still go ahead and decorate without compromising. And since the wood is bare, you can even make some of the furniture yourself, like storage shelves and simple tables. And the best part is that it’s not a look your child will outgrow in a hurry. Here are a few things I picked out that would work well in a natural nursery:
