This room tour caught our eye today – it features our popular Leander cot/toddler bed. Jasper is one lucky little guy and it’s no wonder he has such a stylish room – his Mum writes the blog Urban Kaleidoscope which features stories and some stunning images from her travels and interior decorating endeavours.

Our friends at lmnop recently published this article about Gillian Rose (who happens to supply our gorgeous Leander and Ollie & Lime furnishings) detailing some fabulous tips on how to get the popular Danish interiors look.
“The Scandinavian folk really know how to make a room look spacious, clean and charming,” says Gillian. “The key components are its clean lines and its inspiration from nature.” Here you can read Gillian’s six top tips for creating the perfect Scandinavian nursery including choosing colours, furniture, materials and de cluttering.

For those interested in colours and trends: hot off the official Pantone website, the 2012 Colour Of The Year has been announced!
In 2011 Honeysuckle gave us verve and vigour and in 2012 we apparently love Tangerine Tango, a spirited reddish orange, which continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward…
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Institute talks about the choice for 2012:
Over the past several years, orange has grown in popularity and acceptance among designers and consumers alike… Energize interior spaces with Tangerine Tango patterned home accessories. Pillows, bedspreads and tabletop accessories in this high-impact hue add spice to any room. Or incorporate Tangerine Tango appliances and personal electronics for an unexpected pop of color. Looking for an inexpensive way to perk up your home? Paint a wall in Tangerine Tango for a dynamic burst of energy in the kitchen, entryway or hallway.
To read the official announcement from Pantone.
If you are brave and don’t mind a splash of colour a tangerine wall (or room!) might be just the ticket… but if you are colour-commitment adverse ( like me who changes things around too often to justify painting a whole wall or room), you might just like a bold splash here and there.
Look for smaller accessories and key pieces of furniture which will give you pops of your favourite bold colours against a more neutral base. Bold colours work well with statement furniture shapes and designs like some of the chairs below.
This tangerine works well with some shades of green, blue and brown and looks completely fabulous with white and black. It’s a good colour for kids as it can work well in the rest of the house and it won’t become “daggy” as the kids get bigger like some baby blues and pinks.
