I’ve put together some of my favourite wooden doll’s houses for children’s rooms. I really love how they can be used to decorate a room – some of the dollshouses below feature in my children’s room designs.
I’ve chosen all wood ones, as I think these go with any scheme and don’t add more “noise”, but if you have an expensive dolls house and the colours aren’t right, why not paint it? The dolls house in Lola’s room used to be blue and pink, but it it fit right in after it was painted. Another idea is to use wallpaper on the inside of the house – using wallpaper samples or any pretty patterned paper, such as wrapping paper or Japanese paper. I’ll do a round-up of some of my favourite examples in a next post.

For those of you who’ve missed it: Molly Meg has opened its doors in London! Having been one of the first children’s online shops in the UK offering cool kids’ decor brands from all over the world, you can now go and see all that colour live in Islington – a great design shopping destination in its own right.
All the hip brands are there, from my favourites Numero 74 and Nobodinoz, to Lucky Boy Sunday and Blabla Kids. If you’re still looking for a Christmas present for a little one in your life, don’t miss it.

I went to Bubble London on Monday, which is a bi-annual trade show for kids clothing, shoes and accessories mostly, with a sprinkling of children’s decor. It’s interesting to see how fashion and interiors influence each other, and I had a great time looking at the ‘moods’ created by different clothing brands. Some of these could easily be translated to children’s rooms – I will show you how in a later post.
Whereas the Kleine Fabriek trade show in the Netherlands a couple of weeks ago screamed colour at me, the mood at Bubble London seemed a little bit more subdued overall. Here are some of my personal highlights on the interiors side of things: 
Olive Loves Alfie launched their new VOC free, anti-bacterial paint range in collaboration with The Nursery Paint Company. Their display was awesome and the colours no less (no subdued-ness here!). More on this in a later post. Over at Cristina Rohde I found patterned storage boxes from Daisy Copenhagen in a range of blues, lilacs and pinks. I admired bedlinen at Lulu & Nat’s display, still loving one of their older designs shown here, the floral design. And tucked away at Minihaha, I fell in love with lace printed vintage furniture by Jo Gibbs.
