ella & otto
A delightfully modern boutique children’s bedding and interiors brand, ella & otto is a print-led range designed to fit into the contemporary home.
Relatively new to the children’s interiors market, the collection was created by Tania Urban in 2008. With a strong international background in fashion, Urban is also a mother of four children and combines her professional and personal experiences along with her love of contemporary design in her brand.
At present the brand features four collections, each based on an Urban-designed print. The products within each collection include cot bedding, soft toys, sleeping bags, cushions and decorative accessories such as bib sets and laundry bags.
Australian shoppers can buy ella & otto products directly from their website.

Mini Moderns
A range of interiors products for kids and ‘kidults’, Mini Moderns is produced by UK design agency Absolute Zero.
Co-founders Keith Stephenson and Mark Hampshire created a print-driven collection, which currently includes wallpapers, textiles, plastic and ceramic dinnerware and gift sets. The prints are based on retro concepts (such as vintage toys) but retain a distinctly modern feel.
The company operates on a strictly ‘Made in the UK’ basis – in fact, specifically ‘Made in the UK by nice people’ – enabling their carbon footprint to stay low while the quality of their products remains high.
Australian shoppers can purchase Mini Moderns wallpaper from The Selvedge Group, and other products directly from the Mini Moderns online shoppe.

Petra Boase
Collage-based design is the passion of Petra Boase, and her self-titled brand reflects this in the most delightful way.
Retro papers, prints and fabrics give a comfortable feel to her otherwise modern designs, which now cover a range of canvases and prints, mugs, wrapping paper, a wide range of stationery and children’s and adults’ tees.
Boase also stocks in her online store a small but lovely selection of Japanese paper ballons (an excellent and very cheap method of decorating a child’s bedroom; also great for party favours), and toys knitted from yak wool which are surprisingly soft and non-scratchy.
Boase’s stationery range is particularly note-worthy – if you’ll pardon the pun! – as the designs are distinctive and fresh while remaining appropriately childlike.
You can source Petra Boase products directly from her online store, email for a postage quote to Australia.

Hello Loveys,
Just thought I would mention that you can buy those cute Japanese Balloon animals from My Poppet in Melbourne, they also have a Poppet in the Post – Big Cartel store. I bought three for myself for the boys room, including the monkey featured by Miki. They are super cute, but small (they look bigger in the photo).
