23 trendy things for your March!

We are going into March already but let me quick share the trends of 2022. Because today I will give you some great inspiration plus things to match the biggest trends of this year. Enjoy!

So, what’s hot in 2022? Emerald Green is the colour of the year and one of my all-time favourites. It is just so elegant and pretty. Punk Pop is back and I love it. Further we have the mythical thing going strong with dragons and fairies.

For interiors it is all about Statement Lighting. I love a good lamp. Lights make such a difference to a room. The lamp itself to the design but high quality lamps also have high quality light which is just another level of GOOD.

And another great thing to do in 2022 – work with me. I can boost your Digital Marketing, organise a fantastic event and/or be on your side to launch your dream.

Now, here you go with some of my current favourites that fit the 2022 trends. And I actually added a little bonus trend below as well. Find it:

Who would have thought that a salmon pink home can be that amazing?

DENIM DENIM DENIM – another trend in 2022. Check this edit… so much good stuff that your kids can wear at any time, any day!

Statement lamps? Have a look at this shop*!

Cheetahs and Emerald Green – great mix*!

Talking about great lamps, loving this one in Sara’s & Rasmus’ living room.

Punk Pop is definitely more chic these days. Which is great because it means I can get away with it… still… totally in love with these two tops: black mesh top & sheer with amazing sleeves!

Octopus Costume*! How cool is that?

Social media and many other facets of modern life are destroying our ability to concentrate. The Guardian.

That mobile is adorable and there is even more wall art… not just for the kids room… check it out!

I love a good list and The Guardian has some great ideas on ‘100 ways to slightly improve your life without really trying’. Have a look. It is worth it!

Use of space at its best! (and nice shade of green too)

Handmade wooden lamps for the kids room!

So, I have had the draft of this article now for over a week. Trying to finish it and never got around it. Because we are in the last week of school and things are a bit crazy.

Antoine is finishing primary school and the last days are packed. I am super happy for him that he gets to enjoy all these parties, ceremonies and picnics because last year everything had to be cancelled. Further I am training (as well as organising a team) for a Half Marathon in September. And a new project will start next week for me as well. Adding the play dates and sleep overs that are happening again. Altogether, I am trying to keep up with everything and the day only has 24h.

However, now is time and I so delighted to share these cute lamps with you!

r o o m G A G A* was created out of passion and love for exceptional things. All of these beautiful lamps are made in a local workshop in Poznan, Poland.

‘Each of their elements is an effect of meticulous, manual work. Cutting, grinding, painting, polishing all elements is a process in which we put our whole heart. And we want everything we do to have the uniqueness mentioned above, that is why we use only solid pine wood for production.’

I am sure that these lamps are a perfect addition to your child’s room:

That hedgehog* is just the cutest!

Each lamp is manufactured entirely by Emilia and her team. And the whole process of its creation, from cutting out of solid pine wood from Polish forests, to sanding and painting with paints certified for children, is only manual work.

Which one is your favourite? Personally, I find it very difficult to choose but I think I have a little preference for the whale*!

5 colour block wall ideas for your kids room

Colour block walls can really make a statement in any room without a big budget. Try using contrasting colours to create geometric effects that highlight a part of your space or simply dress up an empty wall.

Further, this is a great idea if you are not a fan of wallpaper but love a splash of colour and pattern. Colour blocking is done by selecting zones on a wall or ceiling and painting them in a different colour from the main wall colour.

And with colour blocking, you can actually combine as many colours as you like. However I would like to recommend to start subtle and see how you get on.

How about this ideas: You can create patterns, paint parts of a wall, just the window frames or parts of the ceiling. You can even update furniture, take an old armoire and paint it for example. The possibilities are truly endless and I am iviting you to think outside the box and be creative…

Here are 5 fantastic kids rooms with colourblock walls to get you inspired:

With colour blocking, you can create a sophisticated as well as fun look. White and pink walls with wooden furniture gives this room a nice girly touch without being too romantic.

It is the easiest, quickest and most budget-friendly way to add some colour to a room. And pastel colours like above will create a beautiful, bright and soft paradise. Clearly, this simple and minimal children’s room got a lovely and stylish addition with the colourblock wall.

The classic! White wall painted with a contrasting colour on the ‘lower level’. The turquoise is gender neutral, fresh and fun.

This room shows another fun way to bring together two colours on one wall. The ‘mountains’ are playful and create a really quirky wall for a kids room.

A white room got a wall full of Lego brick plates for creative non-stop fun. Combining the colour block trend with toys is the ultimate solution!

Altogether: An easy way to get started is to simply keep the walls white or in a very neutral colour. And then pick a very bright or significantly darker color to paint halfway up the wall.

21 sunny things for your April!

Another Friday. Another article bursting with fun and cool things. Including some cute things for Easter of course.

Which is very early this year, so I am hoping that the Easter Bunny will bring good surprises and a little break from our current reality. Yesterday was Antoine’s birthday. The 2nd round with Corona and who would have thought that?! Who would have thought that, again, no party, no friends around… and worse, not even school. Because he is isolation since last week because there was a case in his year group.

Therefore, hop hop HOPE. Hope for things to settle down over the next weeks…

To help I gathered my latest finds and favourites:

Spring is here and one easy way to give your home a little update is with prints. And I have some great finds for you, please have a look:
1. Botanical and so perfect for the season, from Hawaii and it is the shop* where I found this amazing Frida print

Extra: Wall decals are also super for creating a fresh look in an instant. Have a look at these bold and quirky designs.
