Kids love bright colours. They are drawn to them, respond to them and are inspired by them. Right now we are planning a revamp of our daughter’s room and have decided to do away with the muted baby tones and give her a room that is as bright and bubbly as her personality.
US-based notNeutral – www.notneutral.com - has everything you could want to help brighten up the world of your little one. The creation of Rios Clementi Hale Studios, an LA based product design company founded by Mark Rios in 1985, notNeutral’s hip and streetwise products express individuality and choice. They have built a unique following that attracts equally young-spirited and colourful individuals looking for designs that express their style.
Here are a few of my favourites, perfect for brightening up any room. All prices are in US dollars – convert prices here. For information regarding postage and shipping contact notNeutral.
notNeutral’s beautiful 100% wool rugs (from USD$260) are hand tufted in India and are GoodWeave certified. GoodWeave is an international non-profit organization working to end exploitative child labour in the rug industry and offer educational opportunities to children in India, Nepal and Pakistan.
notNeutral’s reversible quilts (from USD$70) come with incredibly detailed embroidery patterns many of which co-ordinate perfectly with their rug patterns. All quilt faces are made from 100% organic cotton and the dyes are non-toxic and biodegradable.
notNeutral’s throw pillows (from USD$50) add zing and dash to any room with lots of bright designs to choose from.
Inspired minds need somewhere to create their masterpieces and there is nowhere better than these high design, easy to clean painted table and chair sets (USD$384). Make sure you take a look at notNeutral’s BB02 outdoor table and chair. These beauties are made from recycled milk containers, detergent bottles, margarine tubs, and garbage containers and at the end of their life can be recycled all over again. Beds, night stands and rockers are also available in the range.
notNeutral also have a great dining range featuring bright Snack Sets, 3 Piece Porcelain Dinner Sets (USD$26) and double-sided placemats in vibrant colours and patterns (USD$14). Just what you (and your kids) need to survive the feeding blues!
