Design-Led Parents are always on the lookout for decent pieces of interior design. bebe feedback is that Height Charts are, at best, mounted on our children’s bed room walls and are, well, tolerated. 

Tolerant parents fear no longer ! Kideko have just released Height Charts that match their already much loved Bed Linen range. Height Chart themes are “Monster”, “Love” and “Sunshine”.

Kideko is dedicated to producing simple, modern and inspiring bedding and bedroom accessories for children. Whilst Kideko generally produce their own designs in-house, the ‘Monster’ collection was created by world renowned design agency Airside.

Based in the UK, Airside has a reputation for creative, original and funny design work for a range of clients: from bands like Lemon Jelly and Pet Shop Boys, to multi-national corporations. “Monster” was created by Richard Hogg, one of his parting gifts to Airside before he became a freelance designer.

So, Height Charts with Street Cred - what are you waiting for ? Your offspring are growing as we speak and, let’s face it, crude carvings on public door frames just won’t cut the mustard people .  Check out the Kideko height charts here..

We have been seeking contemporary kids rugs for years now, and had not even come close to anything we would put in our own kid’s room/play room UNTIL now!

US Design company DwellStudio continue to delight us with their contemporary nursery designs and have released these rugs to a just a couple of exclusive contemporary children’s stores. How lucky are we?!

These hand-tufted 100% New Zealand wool rugs will put the finishing touch on your room with luxurious, fun and colourful palattes and designs made to compliment all interiors. The timeless designs can easily transition from the nursery to the bedroom, or into the play room/general living area. Available in two sizes, and four unique designs - the DwellStudio Plus Multi Rug (large) shown above left works exceptionally well for large spaces (our play room is ready and waiting for one!). For those of you after something smaller than this, check out the DwellStudio Plus Multi Rug, and  DwellStudio Plus Petal Rug (shown top right).  The DwellStudio Gio Rug (shown bottom right) is also available in the larger size for maximum impact!

Talk about a great bedside companion!  A year ago when my son started to fear the darkness and his midnight trips to the bathroom, we tried him on a couple of different night lights. First was too bright, second was not bright enough. Next one broke down (twice) and the one after that stopped after 4-5 hours, right when nighttime blackness kicks in. We’ve found a perfect solution in the Candela Tooli Lamp, which has become a friendly nighttime companion.

The famous Candela night lamps were previously manufactured by Vessel. It then took over 12 months to get these gems back into Australia. The new and improved Candela Tooli Night lamp is now manufactured by Oxo, and a welcome addition to bebe’s product range.  Simple to use even for young children (they illuminate when lifted from the charger base), these lights will assure your little one off into dreamland.

We have some fantastic new Christmas pieces which we know are going to fly out the door. This year we are giving you the option to add the perfect finishing touch by personalising selected products with your child’s first name, which is professionaly embroidered. 

From Christmas stockings by Mamas & Papas and Eeni Meeni Miini Moh, to plush Toy Sacks and new baby comforters, personalising is a  great way to make a personal gift something that you/your child will cherish forever.  My favourite is the Supersize Toy Sack. Measuring at 72cm high x 62cm high, this plush velour sack is perfect for storing large gifts that don’t quite fit under the tree!

Dwell Home Furnishings was founded by Christiane Lemieux in 1999 in an effort to bring modern textile design to the world of home. The company quickly established itself as a leader and innovator in the bedding market - and expanded to a fuller offering of home furnishings products, including table, baby, and junior.  In November 2007, Dwell launched DwellStudio, a name that combines all the existing Dwell, Dwellbaby, Dwellkids and Dwelltable lines into a cohesive brand. The name DwellStudio embodies how the company has evolved since inception into a home furnishings brand with roots in modern print and pattern. DwellStudio is the destination for the well designed, decorative minimal home.

 

We love the DwellBaby and Dwellkids ranges for their modern, yet still fun and playful designs. Its very rare to find contemporary childrens décor pieces and Dwell have intelligently and creatively achieved great things in such a short amount of time.
