11 of my (current) favourite things to decorate kid's rooms

 I've always loved putting the boys rooms together, I think kids rooms are the most fun to do. There doesn't seem to be any rules. A comfy bed, good storage and space to play seems to be my top priorities when I'm thinking about their rooms. 

With 3 boys I think I've tried most "themes" and colour schemes over the years, I don't know if I'd know how to do a girls room. I know I'd want to use a lot of pink! ;) 

When I want to freshen things up a bit (without breaking the bank) in the boys rooms, a new pillowcase or print can make a huge difference.

I've put together 11 of my current favourite things to add that pop of fun to a child's room.

Take a look -

1. Messy Mouse Pillowcase

A new pillowcase always adds a fresh vibe to the bedroom. It can refresh your current linen and is also a cute and subtle way to bring in your child's favourite character.

2. Ice Cream Lamp

A fun decoration and also doubles as a night light/reading lamp

3. Feather Crown

Perfect for dress ups and celebrations but also looks pretty sitting on a shelf or hanging on the corner of a picture/print. An indian head dress is a cute idea for boys.

4. Cactus Print

I am loving anything cactus at the moment and this print is so cool and adds a bit of colour to a wall.

5. Play Mat

I love the neutral colours of this play mat. It would blend into any room and I love decor that also combines with imaginative play. Noah would love this to drive all of his matchbox cars on.

6. Krispy Dreme Pillowcase

This would ensure sweet dreams! It would work for both a boys or girls room. 

I love linen that can be swapped between rooms. I would use this myself.

7. Wooden Mountains

These look great on a shelf and would also add a little scenery to a game ;)

The neutral colours fit in with any colour scheme but they do come in other colours.

8 & 9. Wall Stickers from Sack Me

I love wall stickers! Such an easy way to change up a room. So easy to pop up and take down when you feel like something different. I love the illustrated bunny.

10. Ode Swan Animal Head

This is so gorgeous and girly and would look so pretty on the wall or over a bedhead.

11. Lion Tea towel 

I love framing tea towels and popping them on the wall as art. I love the colours and the message of this one. Look for something personal to you. Maybe your child's favourite animal. We have a tiger print in Noah's room as it was the first animal sound he knew.

Here are a few pics from Finn, Jasper and Noah's rooms -

I love browsing Pinterest for inspiration for kids rooms. I've popped a few favourites below-

What do you think? Anything you know that your kids would love?

Monday Must Haves at Adairs

I hadn't walked into an Adairs store for a while but when I passed one on Friday I couldn't resist popping in.  Linen is my weakness!
You know those shops where you just want to buy everything? That's how I felt in Adairs!
I've put together some of my favourites.

1. Adored this watercolour quilt cover
2. Cute and colourful kids sheets that come in queen size
3. I love these cute matching pillowcases
4.This cushion came home with me!
5. This cushion would be cute in a little one's room
6. These hand towels would add a pop of colour to the bathroom
7. Even though I love colour this grey is calling me!

Have you popped into Adairs lately? Which one's your favourite? Where else do you like to shop for linen?

Linen Love - kids linen.

I have a weakness for bed linen lately. It used to be that scatter cushions were my homeware of choice but now I can't get enough of sheets and quilt covers! 
I try to buy ones that can be used on all of our beds. Sure, the queen size is a bit big for the single beds but if I fold it over and tuck it in, it works. There were a couple of new linen ranges lately that have caught my eye for the boys bedrooms.

I can't wait for the new kids bed linen range from Cotton On Kids

I'm also loving these bold colours from Aura

And you can't go wrong with something fun from Rachel Castle
Here is a peek at my own linen collection

I buy my line from everywhere. Some of my favourite places are Ikea, Target, Fossik, Lark and Adairs. 
What is your homeware of choice? Is your linen cupboard straining at the seams?!
