hibou home new wallpaper designs for kids

Have you seen Hibou Home’s new wallpaper designs for kids? They’re simply adorable, with these Star and Portraits designs being my favourites.

Hibou Home Portraits childrens wallpaper Black & WhiteHibou Home kids wallpaper Portraits wallpaper Black & WhiteHibou Home Stars wallpaper for kids Stellar BlueI love the slight metallic sheen on the Stellar Blue colour way above. This design would be equally at home in a nursery or a teen room, don’t you think? The subtle golden accents on the otherwise monochrome Portraits wallpaper are such a sweet touch too – who wouldn’t like these little friends in their room?

dylan’s big boy room

I recently designed this green kid’s room, a big boy room for Dylan. He had outgrown his nursery and Dylan’s parents asked me to help them turn a small guest bedroom into a special room for their son.

The wall and joinery were painted in the same colour to create a feature wall.
