My favourite…

Room Tour – Hudson’s room
This room tour of Hudson is by Chandre from Styled_by_mama. She is mom to Hudson and a brand representative to some local South African brands on Instagram. Hudson is almost two and it was now time to upgrade his room to a toddler room. She did not bind herself to just one theme, so the room and decor will have a long lifespan as Hudson gets older. The black and white colour scheme is still extremely popular in nurseries and children’s rooms. Having a room in a black and white colour scheme has a lot of advantages: A black and white room can help to calm the crazy of all the colourful toys that a…

The Collaborative – Monochrome Boy Room
The Collaborative is the brain child of Chantelle {La Fede designs} and Mariette {Little Interiors} with the goal get mostly South African small businesses to collaborate to create beautiful room settings with locally designed and manufactured items. Our first The Collaborative room design was a playroom for girls, see it here. The second room reveal is a monochrome boys room. The room was designed with a young child or a toddler in mind, creating a fun, playful yet modern bedroom setting. We deliberately combined some of the most used themes in 2016, showing that you do not necessarily have to have stick to one theme ONLY, especially in a monochrome room setting. We added pops…

The Collaborative – Playroom
The Collaborative is the brain child of Chantelle {La Fede designs} and Mariette {Little Interiors} with the goal get mostly South African small businesses to collaborate to create beautiful room settings with locally designed and manufactured items. Our first The Collaborative room design was a playroom for girls. I created a moodboard using soft colours and fun designs to create a space that reflects a dreamy, girly playroom. We used a lot of quircky pillows and animals in the design. The moodboard is used to put a collection of ideas together to create an overall look. Often the design changes slightly in the end result but the overall look stays the same. A moodboard is very helpful in…

Win a personalized Medal Hanger!
Display all your medals with a personalized medal hanger! Earlier this year my brother turned 30, and I really was not sure what to get him that was meaningful and useful. He has always excelled in sports, especially gymnastics, karate and recently jujitsu. He has built up a good collection of medals that has just landed up in a box for nobody to see. Sa Medal Hangers had the perfect solution for me and it turned out to be his most cherished gift he got. After a recent swim gala at my daughet’s swimming school, I’m seeing a lot of potential in her. I realized that the perfect gift for her upcoming birthday would…

How important a budget is when you design a room
When you get to redo a child’s room or do a brand new nursery you can get overwhelmed by what you find, and spending too much can be a reality. This is why planning and budgeting form such a crucial part of a room design. Impulse purchases can be detrimental to a budget, so try and steer clear of those. Start with a design and then price all the items and extras like labour and tools in a spreadsheet. Then you can see what you need to bargain hunt for or completely remove. It is key to have it on paper (or pc) in one place. Keep track of your spending,…

How to space decals
For a while now decals has been a trendy wall decor option, not only because it can be removed easily but also because it is so easy to install. It can however be a little daunting when you have to space the smaller decals an equal distance from each other. I have a fairly accurate eye and can pick up a slight difference easily and it would bug me until I fix it so I looked for an option that is easy and accurate. You will need to do the following: 1. Determine the width (and height) you want them to be apart. 2. Cut a piece of cardboard…

Spring Clean
Spring is in the air and this means spring cleaning time for most of us. I use this time to reflect on what I really need and what has gathered dust because it has not been used for a year. For the kids, because of the change of season I also need to check what clothing does not fit anymore etc. This I normally pass on to The Grace Factory, they do amazing work and I try to get the kids involved in letting them know where it goes. Spring time is a perfect time to get rid of the old, I’ve had a need in me to get rid of…

DIY TeePee
I LOVE teepees and I love a good DIY even more!! They look so cute in a room and the kids can have fun indoors and outdoors. I’ve had this project in my to-do folder for some time. The pattern, instructions and fabric has been lying nicely next to my sewing machine for MONTHS but finally I got to do it this weekend and it is so darn cute!! Alexia is already planning her first camping trip in the playroom. I used the tutorial from Pink Toes & Powertools, and it cost me the price of dowel sticks (around R10 for a pole). I used old bull denim curtains that I was not using anymore,…

Design your nursery with Mamas & Papas
I told you a few weeks back about the wonderful products that Mamas & Papas has on offer here, and the one thing that was the most striking to me about the store was the beautiful colours of the fabrics and accessories. This inspired me to do a full design board using their beautiful colours and awesome products to create a beautiful Mamas & Papas nursery. I used the Harbour collection in the ivory colour and some accents from the Timbuktales nursery range. This delightful nursery collection is fresh and modern. Charming curves and soft lines create this idyllic look and feel. The 3 piece Harbour collection boasts a full sized wardrobe, changer that converts…

Baby to toddler room
Realizing that your baby is now a toddler is a shocking thing! It feels like you had a tiny helpless baby 5 minutes ago and now they are exploring and climbing on to things and all of a sudden their needs become a lot different to a baby’s need. It is now time to look at what you need to change to make the nursery more safe and suitable for their current needs. At this stage you can still keep your nursery theme the same. First look at what you can keep: 1. Can you use your cot as a toddler bed if they are ready for it? If not…

Children’s bathroom storage solutions
Organizing a kids bathroom is one of the most difficult tasks for me personally, and it is even worse when the said bathroom is shared with adults. Bath toys are the worst because they need to dry between play, to prevent all types of nasties growing in and on the toys. My bathroom tiles are not at all suction cup friendly so none of the suction cup bags worked well for me, and unfortunately neither does double-sided tape stick to these tiles so I had my hands in my hair. My husband mounted a bath toy scoop to the wall rather than having to use double-sided tape. This worked great…

Crochet/Doily Rug
I have always felt that we have a limited selection of rugs in SA. I needed something a bit more girly, NOT SHAGGY and easy to clean for a toddler room. I have been drooling over crochet doily rugs. I had some spare t-shirt yarn and I started with my own crochet rug, take note that I have never even held a crochet needle in my life so this was all new. I did a lot of reading and watched a lot of tutorial just to get the stitches correct, but I’m not doing to bad. I chose t-shirt yarn because I wanted a bulkier look. Here is my attempt so far.…

MamaMagic New Product Awards
The Product Innovation Awards have become one of the most exciting and sought-after titles at the MamaMagic expo, as they are an opportunity to shine the spotlight on any new and innovative products that MamaMagic exhibitors have launched to the local South African parenting market. This year they launched the new, improved New Product Awards in its place. This MamaMagic product award finalists were top notch.

Mamas & Papas
I was invited to the Mamas & Papas Melrose Arch store for some Mother’s Day treats and some product demo’s. I’ve been familiar with the brand since my little girl was a baby, and the quality is just amazing, but I had to get it from abroad back then. Mamas & Papas entered the South African market about 3 years ago, and they have really set the mark high for brands to compete. Here are some snaps from the day and the store. I was in love with the beautiful colours. We received a demo of the new Armadillo flip XT as well as some feeding chair demos. I was very impressed with…

A room perfect for your princess
With the birth of England’s new Princess, Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, the world is in Princess mode. A little sparkle of hope brightened all our lives even for just a day. Inspired by the fuss over this little Princess I created a princess inspired mood board to commemorate this event. Whether you want to design a more quirky, fun princess themed room or more classic, grown-up room, is up to you. It is a theme that makes use of pinks, lilacs gold, silver and stones. The brighter the colours the more quirky, the lighter the shades the more classic the theme becomes. Items as simple as netting draped above the bed…

DIY: Baby and Toddler beanbag
I wanted to create a custom bean bag for my baby and 3 year old for our holiday house. I found this pattern and tutorial from Straight Grain (see also fabric toy barrel post) very helpful and easy to use. I made 2 (one toddler and one baby one) in one day. I used a durable bull denim that I found at a local fabric store. Bellow find the links to the pattern and tutorial. Here is little Demetri sleeping in his custom bean bag. It was such a lifesaver to have the beanbag during summer at our beach house with a baby, and the bigger kids love to…

African inspired nursery
African Inspired Nursery Finally the nursery reveal that I’ve been dying to share. I had so much fun doing this nursery, it definitely came with its share of challenges for such a tiny room. I did not have a massive budget, so a lot of the items were DIY projects and it was a teeny-tiny space so I had to be very creative with the space layout. I will be sharing some of the DIY projects in the coming weeks. This was the initial moodboard I did for the room I made changes to the location of the crib and the type of changing station I was using. This was due to some…

Staying on budget with Gumtree
Designing a nursery does not necessarily need to cost you an arm and a leg, you need those, and should be within your means. In today’s financial climate it is not always possible to spend money on extravagant items for a nursery, even the basic items can cost a fortune. Budget should not prohibit you from having the nursery you’ve always wanted. www.gumtree.co.za offers buyers (and seller) the opportunity to buy (or sell) products that are previously loved, securely and conveniently. I am going to design a nursery with secondhand items only found on the Gumtree site, in my area, proving that you can have the nursery you want ON BUDGET! Modern Upscale Gumtree Nursery:…

My very own IKEA Hack!
When designing baby #2’s nursery we needed to reconfigure the storage in the very, very small room. I did get quotes on built-in cupboards, but I did not want to spend my whole budget on cupboards. I decided to do my own little IKEA hack. For those not familiar yet, Nevada Furniture is the local imported of IKEA products and the prices are really good, considering the weak Rand and importing costs. In the end, with all the changes made to two wardrobes, I spent about a third of what I would have with built-ins and I had exactly what I wanted. This is what the ANEBODA Wardrobe looks like…

Why should you use an Interior Designer for your nursery?
Every mom-to-be finds pride in doing her baby’s nursery. It is the process of getting the room done that makes most moms feel ready for the baby. After having your first child you realize what you actually needed and what you could’ve done without, this is where an experienced and an unbiased opinion like an interior designer’s can help you with clever decisions that can save you time and money. At Little Interiors I have different affordable packages to suite every mothers’ need and pocket. 1) You have a theme/colour scheme/some furniture and you need help to put it all together in the space, or you have an idea but you do not know…

Roses are RED and nurseries TOO!!
Red nursery designs are not comon but as everything turns red during the month of love, it is just fitting to have some red inspiration. Red really does make your heart beat faster for a second when you walk into a room, that’s why you need to be extra careful when using red, but do not be afraid of it. It is a very passionate and warm colour and can evoke different emotions in different people, and can bring out some volatile behavior. For this reason we would not use red wall to wall in a nursery, but in accent colours around the room. You want your nursery to be a…

Superhero Theme
All boys adore superheroes, some never outgrow it either. I love the idea of doing a nursery in a superhero theme and of course what toddler would not love waking up to their favourite hero every morning. This is not only a theme for boys, so girls don’t need to feel left out. How to create the look: * Use bold colours like red, blue, yellow or green; bring in pinks or purples for girls. * Get inspiration from cartoons and the tv shows – use a pattern or image *You don’t need to use one character only. * Don’t be afraid to use different fabrics *Use some old toys that are still in…

Navy is the new Black
Yes it is true… one of the the hottest nursery trends for 2014 is NAVY! And we love it. The first thing you might think is that it can only work for boys. Navy is as neutral as you can get, so using it for a girls room and for a neutral nursery will be a perfect choice. (See my post about dark colours) Here are some boys, girls and unisex nursery inspiration with navy as the main colour. A trend that I see more and more is to use navy and brights together to create vibrant modern rooms. I am absolutely loving this trend. Some awesome colours that works perfectly…

Ombre Walls
The ombre trend can be seen everywhere, from walls to furniture to rugs. Personally I think it is easier to achieve the ombre look on something smaller like fabric, furniture, nails or hair, but it can look absolutely gorgeous on a wall if done correctly. I would love to see more wallpaper companies incorporating this idea into their collections. Commonly you see the striped ombre look on walls but I’m not a big fan BUT I do love it done on drawers.. Here’s a quick image tutorial on how to do an ombre look on a wall by PS-I made this. {Happy Painting} Mariette Mariette SakelliouI am extremely passionate about…

Disney themed room
Finally the big reveal… ALEXIA’S DISNEY THEMED ROOM. I just love how this room turned out. It reflects Alexia’s personality perfectly, gives her a place to enjoy her music, reading and drawing in a relaxing environment. In this post I will be going through the whole process of designing this room. Firstly I came up with the concept and I made a mood board with all the ideas that I could find. We were in the process of buying a new house so I did not have any type of room in mind so I could not narrow down the ideas to what will work in the specific room. Here…

Revamp furniture without commitment
I just LOVE washi tape and I am constantly looking at new ideas to use it in creative ways. My tired and worn office desk needed a revamp and I decided to washi tape the whole thing instead of painting or replacing it. After numerous internet searches I finally plucked up the courage to start. I started by filling all the chipped sides with wood filler and then sanded the whole table lightly. Not to much as it will be covered in washi tape that sticks to anything….. {i really hate sanding}, then I wiped it with a damp cloth to get all the loose dust off. I only used…

Once you go black……
I have recently had a conversation with a friend about a coffee shop’s decor, and I realized that the common perception of dark grey or black walls is still that it makes a room look smaller, dingy and cluttered. I have a different opinion about dark walls, the dark colours actually makes the walls appear receded. I am also one of those that like to dab my paintbrush into the lighter part of the colour card but I have always adored dark walls in a room. To me it feels that the wall disappears and everything you put on or in front of the wall becomes the focal point and…

Washi Tape
I have recently been asked to consult on a room that was already done beautifully, but the designer aka mom felt like the walls did not look finished as she wanted it. Because of the roughness of the wall the border still looked unfinished. The most common solution would be to put a wooden half-round dado rail but because of the amount of wood already in the room it would have been to much. I opted to go for a washi tape that resembles a road as it compliments the motorbike design. It was a first time experiment with washi tape and I was really impressed. It is super easy…

Disney Themed Room – UPDATE with inspiration board
I have been keeping my eyes open for some interesting ideas for Alexia’s Disney Themed Room. This is my inspiration board so far… I must admit that it is difficult to keep my ideas in one place at a time…there are so many different characters that I would like incorporate. I am worried that if I’m not careful the room could end up looking like “Disney gone wrong” with nothing tying into each other. I like the idea of using one character with a quote on the wall tied in with the magic stars connecting them all, seen in the inspiration board. A couple of small touches like the Peter…

Jungle Themed Nursery
This is the nursery I did for my little baby. We decided not to find out the gender of the baby, so I had to design a gender neutral room. I decided to go with green and brown as the base of the design and when we found out it was a girl at birth, splashes of pink crept in from everywhere. One of the colour additions to the room was her name that was done after she was born, shown bellow. I kept the brown background and bought pink bedazzled letters from Mr Price Home, as well as a cute photo frame. What I love about it is that,…

She was spoiled with so many awesome gifts. I did ask people not to buy toys as she loves to read, draw and paint, and already has so many toys to play with. A very good friend of mine gifted a set of wooden, handmade disney peg dolls. They are so cute, and original. She was not aware that I’m…

Theme: owls
These wide eyed creatures are seen everywhere from cellphone covers to tattoos, it’s a trend that everybody adores from grownups to kids. Without realizing it I have already invited two into our home, so today i’ve decided to write on how to develop a theme for a nursery or kids room around THE OWL. Firstly I’d start off with a neutral backdrop; pinks, blues, greens, beige or browns. These colours are just a guideline as they are the most commonly used by clients. I like to bring splashes of colour using decor such as bedding, artwork and accessories. Choose an accent wall that will bring your theme to life. Adding…
