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! :)

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!

Product Sales & Events

I was thinking today that I totally neglected to mention some events that started this week involving my products! In light of this over-site here is a list of sales and events currently in operation should you want to get your hands on any Aimee St Hill products :)

First of all, Fab are holding a sale on select DENY Designs shower curtains. I was fortunate enough to have three of mine featured :) The sale closes on Sunday April 7th so act quickly if you wanna snap one of these babies up!

Shower curtains from left: Decorative red, Decorative blue, Blue is just a mood

Secondly, I have just signed a contract with Coques-iPhone ; a smart phone skin company based in France. This means FREE SHIPPING for all my French customers and also much faster delivery for all my peeps in the EU! At the moment they only carry three of my designs but the good news is they have a much bigger variety of cases and skins! Fingers crossed I'll be able to add more designs soon :)

This is an ongoing partnership so stop by at your leisure or click here to see all available cases!

 Finally, my most exciting news!!

I'm very excited to be able to announce that select Aimee St Hill products are now available to buy online and in store at Kohl's!!!!

I would like to tell you that this is also an ongoing venture but I'll have to see how it goes!
To shop my Kohl's products click here!


That's that for the events, I'll try to be quicker off the mark next time!

Happy shopping :)

The Blue Room

I love blue! It's often my go-to colour when designing new patterns, in fact I have a number of blue products on sale. This got me thinking about blue interiors so I decided to compile a small collection of images of my favourite blue rooms and how you can get the look!

Blue Dining

I love mix and match prints! To me it's the best way to make a room look co-ordinated and finished without being too 'matchy-matchy'. Pairing solid colours with geometric prints or florals helps to break up the pattern and stops the room from looking too busy.

Shop the look : Mirror, throw pillow, place mat 

Blue Sleeping

Don't be afraid of prints!! The patterned wall in this room adds a focal point and helps tie all the other blues in the room together. When creating a feature wall look for a piece of art that compliments the other items in your room. If you can't find one, make one! Or how about adding a colourful message board? 

 Shop the look: Message board, sheet set, throw pillow, duvet

Blue Living

If you're timid about mixing prints why not start with a patchwork throw! This will give you an instant eclectic look. You can add complimentary throw pillows and other accessories later.

Shop the look: Throw blanket, throw pillow (left), throw pillow (right)

Blue Bathing

A funky shower curtain is the perfect way to add flare to your bathroom without breaking the bank. Keep your bathroom chic by sticking to a colour scheme and adding accessories that show off your personal style.

Shop the look: Deny Designs shower curtain (top), Deny Designs shower curtain (bottom), shower curtain (right)

By Popular Demand

I received a very nice email the other morning from DENY Designs informing me that they had had several requests from customers asking about my work. I was asked to add some of the designs currently on sale in my Society6 shop to their products at DENY.
Naturally I was thrilled that anyone would request my work by name and immediately uploaded the artwork!

And here it is!

I have added another 'Colour Block' design to the website so now customers have a mix & match option! Click here to see all the available products for both designs.

Ombre seems to be kinda a big deal right now in the world of fashion & interiors (that's if Pinterest is anything to go by). Here's a great way to add some ombre to your home!

Tired of regular old florals? How about these geometric leaves?! 

Or go big and bold with this camouflaged leopard!

This is actually a personal favourite of mine. Looking at it on the products I can't believe I didn't add it sooner! The photograph actually came from a trip I took to Bequia last year. Some of you might remember this post!

Also if you like any of these designs and are wondering if they are available on any other products, you're in luck!! All of these designs are available in my S6 shop. Click here to view!
