in the press: top 3 nursery art prints for pregnancy & birth magazine

nursery art prints pregnancy & birth magazine march 2013

Pregnancy & Birth magazine asked me to put together my top 3 favourite nursery art prints for their Expert Edit column. Easier said than done, because there’s so many gorgeous prints on my radar, it’s hard to choose just three – even more so because what works in one room, doesn’t in another. That said, my number 1, this wee bear & bunny print by mika art would look good in most baby rooms because of its neutral monochrome palette.

You can see my other picks in the March edition of Pregnancy & Birth, or if you’ve missed it, they are also on my Press page here.

Do you have a favourite nursery print you’d like to share?

Living-Etc kids rooms design feature

January is nearly over, and I nearly forgot to post that I was invited again by Livingetc to share some tips and ideas for modern kids’ rooms! The Kids’ Rooms feature in their January issue shows you how to create a perfect space for your child in four easy steps – it’s packed with useful advice on style, storage, walls & floors, furniture and lighting.

I was in good company too: Jenny Dalton of LittleBig magazine, Caterine Hooper from children’s boutique Little Baby CompanyJane Bonsor at textile house Korla, and Matthew Tillman at home technology specialists Tillman Domotics all shared their best design tips for children’s rooms in this inspiring article.

Missed the Kids’ Rooms issue? Fret not. There’s still a chance to read the article on my Press page here.

This year ended on a bit of a high for me. I published my new Room to Bloom website and started this blog. Then I was quoted in one of my favourite UK  interiors magazines, Living Etc! I couldn’t be more thrilled when I was asked to contribute to the Children’s Rooms Project Planning feature for the January 2012 issue. Written by Claudia Baillie, the feature is full of useful tips and ideas for decorating children’s rooms, from babies and toddlers to tweens and teens. It’s on the news stands now, so get a copy now if you need some inspiration to decorate your child’s  bedroom or playroom in the new year.
