When it comes to baby showers, birthday parties, and more so
than ever school holidays, parents everywhere can appreciate the value of these
handy giant cushions, brought to our attention by Babyology reader, Kate.
A part of Koosh Designs children’s collection, these
cushions measure 1m x 1m and can be put to a whole heap of uses, from flexible
seating in the play or rumpus room, to decorating a child’s bed or even to be
put away and brought out when you’re short on seats.
The cushions come in a range of fun designs such as
colourful numbers, animals and patterns, but can also be custom-made to tie in
with a room’s current colour scheme.
These versatile cushions are available from Koosh Designs,
with prices starting from $59.95, and can either be picked up from locations in
Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, or posted out (charges apply).
Forget all those itsy-bitsy bits and bobs, if you really
want to create atmosphere in your little one’s room, you have to go large. And
that’s just what you’ll get with these unique giant removable wall decals from
My Munchkin Home.
There’s a design to suit children of all ages, and, even
better, childhood addictions of all kinds. I can just imagine my daughter’s
reaction to the flurry of giant butterflies or the princess castle, and pirate
and train-obsessed boys would be delighted to see their favourite toys bigger
than life on their bedroom walls. And for a baby, you can’t go past the giant
elephant, giraffe or teddy bears to make the nursery a fun place to be.
The very thin nature of the decal gives the illusion that
the design is painted onto the wall, but in actual fact they can be easily applied
removed – which is ideal for renters and gives way for the room to grow with
your child. And with prices ranging from $29.95 for the smaller decals like
teddy bears to $169.95 for a pirate ship, it works out a whole lot cheaper than
painting and repainting a room.
All decals are available from My Munchkin Home with delivery
Australia-wide, with postage prices based on application.
An instant and easy way to bring life and personality to a
special room.
Adults spend roughly half their life sleeping; young children spend a whole lot more time in bed. And if the kids don’t sleep, no one gets much sleep. So why not make your child’s bed into a place where they’ll love to be with kideko funky cotton sheet sets?
I think my favourite is the bright yellow unisex ROCK cover, but
then there's the monster, heart, lightning bolt and perfume bottle
sets as well. Kideko linen offers urban designs in colours to suit most
rooms, and even better, they will live a
long life - they're 250 thread count cotton percale, and are designed
to suit toddler and teen alike. It's the small things that
complete the look of a room, so you can also purchase co-ordinating
posters, utility bags and height charts.

Jump in and revamp those junior bedrooms!
This one smacks of a rollicking good prank! Thrill the kids with your superb sense of humour
by introducing a slightly scary new member of the family.
This Longoland monster skin rug
will make your visitors do a double take, with its woven wool and cashmere scales and moulded teeth.
Name it, cuddle it, put it on your bed, back of the couch or on the wall. This unique item will never
go unnoticed and is a true work of art. I also adore the unexpected elegance of the
monster skin chair. Created
in response to the limited scope of homeware design, Longoland is described as a 'multidisciplinary funhouse'
and this approach sure is evident in the products.
