I’ve just re-organised the boys’ collection of Lego and cars, each now living in their very own ‘special’ container which is packed away each night. I’m sure many will sympathise with the laborious task of picking up tiny pieces of plastic each day and often competing with paralysed limbs and serious ailments as soon as the ‘let’s pack away’ bell is rung. Perseverance is key I believe… and a whole lot of patience.
While sorting through my choices for today’s selection of wallpapers, my boys leaned over my shoulder and pointed excitedly at the vintage cars design from Jimmy Cricket - what perfect inspiration for order and structure! Boys being boys, anything to do with transport, robots or machines in general will attract interest, so finding a design that incorporates any of these will be a sure thing.
Remember though, you can always diffuse a whole lot of pattern by allowing other parts of the room to remain simple. Why not take a leaf out of Marimekko’s book and combine stripes with their Boboo transport design? Or if cars and trucks and things that go aren’t quite your cup of tea, then create an underwater paradise with the help of Portuguese artists Little Hands. I have to say, I am totally in love with Mini Modern’s Rob Ryan exclusive designs. Anything this artist creates I’d pay for in spades, and the birdcages in this collection are simply divine. I think I’d be saving this design for my own room though…
Whatever the case, when it comes to decorating children’s rooms, we are really spoilt for choice and I can’t wait to get started!

As a child did you ever wish you could tumble down a rabbit hole into ‘Wonderland’ like Alice? After reading this story my imagination ran wild, so must I confess, I’m a little bit (ok, a big bit) jealous that Jimmy Cricket – www.jimmycricket.com.au wasn’t around while I was growing up. I would have been head over heels with their brand new collection of Wall Stickers called ‘The Wonderland Collection’. These breathtaking and detailed wall stickers have been made in collaboration with French artist Karine Faou and they are simply divine.
Creating a whole new style of Wonderland, this collection allows you to follow the suggested layout or mix and match the elements around the room any way that suits your decor. These premium material wall stickers are made locally in Australia. There are 8 different designs in this series and I love them all. I love them all so much I’m thinking one set could be a marvelous backdrop behind my special reading chair. Perhaps ‘Woodlands The Dinner’?
