I went to Maison & Objet in Paris earlier this month, to get inspired by the new collections in kids’ interiors and design. I particularly loved the new children’s bedding collections from Hibou Home, Garbo & Friends and Camcam Copenhagen – gorgeous colour, pattern and texture abounded. These are my highlights – enjoy!

Last weekend I visited Playtime Paris to get a flavour of new trends in the world of kid’s interiors. I had a lovely time talking to new designers and more established brands, and have highlighted some of the things that caught my eye above. Some old favourites, some new discoveries – enjoy!

I was interviewed by Kin magazine, an in-store publication from nursery brand Mamas & Papas, about children’s interior design. I really enjoyed enjoyed their questions, Kin put some real thought into them – and the same can be said about the rest of the magazine. You can pick up a free copy at Mamas & Papas in-store, or you can read more about why I design for children, plus lots of tips in the online magazine here.
