Home Decor For Kids (Boys)

Hi guys!!!

I've been wanting to do this post for a while but I hadn't got round to it until now (mainly because I've been trying to figure out how best to structure it). I've decided to cover kid's home accessories over a few posts since there are so many great products and ideas out there. Today's post is all about boys!

I've noticed more and more that people are interested in creating children's spaces that they can enjoy well into their teens so that will be the focus of today's post.

It seems that the key to doing this is to keep to a fairly understated colour scheme and find accessories that are fun and bold without being specifically child-like. That Thomas the Tank Engine wall mural will be the first thing to go when your little boy starts wanting to bring home girls!

Check out these great products to liven up your boys bedroom!
Shop the look: 1) 'Phone Box' modern clock - Aimee St Hill
                         2) 'Leela Navy' duvet cover- Aimee St Hill
                         3) 'Boy Chocca Numbers' framed art print - Sharon Turner
                         4) '1932' throw pillow - Catherine McDonald
                         5) 'Goodnight Nobody' throw pillow - Danny Ivan
                         6) 'Nautical Lines' throw pillow - Holli Zollinger

Of course there's nothing wrong with Thomas the Tank Engine! But if you don't want the expense of redecorating over and over try limiting the very child-like items to things like throw pillows and wall art - small accents that can be cheaply replaced or removed when the child grows out of them.

Shower curtains are a great way to turn an otherwise understated bathroom into a child friendly environment. There are tons on the market and the great thing about them is that even if you pick a really child-like one it can be easily swapped out for a more teen friendly one later!

Shop the look: 1) 'Misfits' shower curtain - Andi Bird
                        2) 'Magnetic' shower curtain - Caroline Okun
                        3) 'Pass This On' shower curtain - Danny Ivan
                        4) 'Fish' quatrefoil mirror - Aimee St Hill

Thanks for reading guys! Keep you eyes peeled for my girly home accessories post and perhaps a few other child-friendly rooms over the next few weeks!

Take care and happy decorating! :)

                        2) 'Branch Out' duvet
                        3) 'Diamonds' throw pillow

9 Fabulous Illustrated Pillows

Hi guys!!

Lately I'm really digging what I call 'hipster' home decor. You know, white walls with pops of bright colour, mismatched, quirky accessories and the occasional piece of refurbished 70's furniture. You know?? The kind of place that might house a trendy graphic designer or crafty collector of mason jars!

Are you with me? Just in case you're not here are some examples.

One of the things I love about this style is that pretty much anything goes! Funky illustrated accessories can hang out with bold graphic throws and that old dated couch suddenly looks cool again with those unusual cushions you bought from that place you can't remember the name of! 

If you're looking to liven up your couch and you happen to like this style then you're in luck!
I've done a bit of digging around the DENY Designs website today and put together a list of 9 pillows that are just perfect for adding a bit of fun to your living room!

1) 'Bright Roses' - Aimee St Hill                           6) 'Technicolour Raindrops' - Fimbis
2) 'Cross Out Black' - Wesley Bird                       7) 'Banquet of Flowers Love' - Julia Da Rocha
3) 'Illustration' - Aimee St Hill                               8) 'Girl' - Aimee St Hill
4) 'Triangle Seas' - Pattern State                          9) 'Dreamer' - Holly Sharpe
5) 'Honaw' - Kris Tate

All these fabulous throw pillows (with the exception of pillow number 8) and more are available right now at DENY Designs.com so head over and take a look!

Until next time, happy decorating!! :)

3 Different Colours, 3 Different Looks!

Hello!

I'm back again with another post about colour and to introduce some of my new products (for those of you who haven't been following me on Facebook).

If you've been paying attention you'll know how much I love colour, and you may also know how much I like creating complex patterns. Sooo it seemed sensible that I base my latest print collection on something that incorporates both those elements!

Pinterest has provided me (and all of us) with inspiration from around the globe on a huge variety of subjects. I took a virtual trip to India and Morocco in search of interesting colour combinations, textiles, architecture and design.

After recovering from a sensory overload I got to designing!

I did think about combining all the products into one big, super colourful example but instead I decided I would show you three ways to achieve Indian/Moroccan fusion in your home using three different colour schemes.

Indian Jewels

This first colourway is vibrant and fun. Mix and match patterns together for an eclectic look or pair with plains to brighten up your living room, bedroom or kitchen.

Shop the products:

1) Paisley Orange Duvet                   7) Ogee Orange Quatrefoil Mirror

2) Ogee Orange Throw Pillow             8) Vintage Floral2 Throw Pillow

3) Basic Paisley Throw Pillow            9) Vintage Floral Throw Pillow

4) Aabharana Fabric Collection         10) Intertwined Magenta Shower Curtain

5) Vintage Floral Sheet Set              11) Vintage Floral Quatrefoil Mirror

6) Vintage Floral Duvet

Ocean Blues

This next colourway is loaded with all the moods of blue. Use with white for a fresh, clean look or mix together for a rich, bold combination.

 
 Shop the products:
1) Ogee Blue Shower Curtain                     6) Damask Coasters
2) Decorative Blue Wallpaper                      7) Decorative Blue Sheet Set
3) Intertwined Blue Duvet                            8) Blue Is Just A Mood Throw Pillow

5) Paisley Blue Throw Pillow

Moroccan Emeralds

Whether it's a statement wall, a refurbished dresser or just a few carefully selected accessories green is in in a big way! Scatter a couple of these cushions on your couch and your friends will be green with envy! (sorry, couldn't resist) :-P

Shop the products:

1) Paisley Green Quatrefoil Mirror                               5) Simple Ogee Green Throw Pillow

2) Paisley Green Throw Pillow                                    6) Ogee Green Shower Curtain

That's it for now folks. Happy decorating! :)

The Tropical Room

With Summer approaching I thought it would be a good time to write a post that celebrates that time of year! This week it's all about tropical home decor!!

Tropical Bathing

One of my favourite accessories when it comes to tropical decorating is plants! Adding greenery or fresh flowers to a room can really bring a sense of outdoor living inside! If you're not the green fingered type try incorporating plants into your bathroom another way; maybe with a great painting or shower curtain.

Shop the look: Artwork, DENY Designs shower curtain (top), DENY Designs shower curtain (bottom), bathroom accessories.

Tropical Sleeping

I absolutely LOVE this bedroom! The wall covering and the painting give this room a really cool retro vibe while the mixed prints on the bed keep it modern. If you're planning on putting lots of prints together make sure you establish a colour scheme. Adding a highlight colour like the blue in this bedroom keeps things interesting.

Shop the look: Lamp, Kess Inhouse throw pillow, DENY Designs throw pillow, duvet.

Tropical Dining

Colour is essential when creating a tropical room. The exposed wood looks great here set off against the bright furniture! If you're not a fan of painted furniture there are plenty of other ways to inject colour into your room. A great table setting might be all you need! How about adding a tropical print table cloth or some chair covers? Maybe a piece of artwork? Colourful tableware can go a long way to creating a tropical vibe. You could even create a simple centre piece by adding a nice vase or plant. Whatever you use, remember to look for colours that highlight others in the room. 

Shop the look: Tropical dinner set, artwork, throw pillow

Tropical Living

Creating a gallery wall is a great way to add interest to any room. The important thing is to stick to a theme whether it be colour or subject. Look for pieces that relate to each other in some way and continue the theme with other accessories. This will keep your room looking cohesive.  

Shop the look: throw pillow (left), throw pillow (right), artwork

Happy Decorating!
