Dream Nursery Inspired by Designer Shoes

What do you do when you are pregnant and can’t wear your favourite pair of designer high heels? You design a nursery with them of course!

Interior design is all about designing your space to your taste and lifestyle and there is no better place to draw inspiration from than you.

Purple Reign Nursery

Purple Reign Nursery

Our Cinderella cot in gold is available in any finish, so we are able to match the cot to the chandelier which is finished in antique bronze. The chandelier is available with shades but we think it’s prettier without them. When using bold or reflective colours in design, less is more is the rule of the thumb to prevent overkill.
Fabric for bedding is silk damask in gold and ivory on the outside, the inside of the made to order cot bedding is 100% cotton (i.e inside bumper and fitted cot sheet). It is fun to play around with textures and fabrics, but bear in mind that any part that comes into contact with baby’s skin should be of the softest natural material. Cotton wins every time. The bedding fabrics are also used in drapery as well as in the canopy.
The crown (coming soon to our stores) is custom made in ivory with baby’s initial on the front, the canopy is a two-tone gold/lilac tulle. Canopies can be draped over the top end of the cot, along one side or used to map out a cosy corner in the nursery- for example your nursing chair can be draped by a canopy.

Our wall murals are custom made in any theme, a castle theme is used in this mural. Awkward corners and alcoves are welcome in mural painting as our artist uses them to add depth and interest as in the example of our sailboat mural here. Other walls will have elements of the scenery for example brick walls at the bottom, clouds or a few leaves blowing about.
The chandelier is also in gold, it isn’t custom made so the cot is made to match it.

The Artwork is custom made. Nursery gliders are available in different sizes and backrest heights to accommodate your frame. Our nursery gliders are all custom made to order in your choice of fabric. This chair was made from natural tan and piped in a contrast white trim. We did consider lilac but it was ‘too much’. An alternative was to have piped the glider in green.
We also offer custom made rugs, but they do take at least 4 months to make so let’s get cracking!

All products are available to buy from our online boutique, www.punkinpatch.co.uk.

Ergonomic Tips for Mums to Be: Don’t Forget to Look after your Back!

Designing your baby’s nursery can be one of the most enjoyable parts of pregnancy – choosing the themes, colours, and shopping for those cute baby things. But it’s so important to think about you too – considering the ergonomics of your baby’s nursery is essential! Ensuring you have the right equipment, set up in a way that will avoid endless back pain, twinges and muscle aches, will allow you to really enjoy your baby.

Inspired by…Bling!

Bling isn’t something we’d normally associate with a baby’s nursery or a child’s bedroom, but we live in changing times. Jewellery was first used in Greece around 1600BC, although it was used in Africa before then. In Greece,  it was hardly worn and was mostly used for public appearances or on special occasions. It was frequently

A Girls Dream Come true

There’s a reason we love the Bloom bedroom collection. The bed itself comes in 12 different finishes like candy floss pink and minty blue to name just a couple. It is crafted from quality woods and veneers by artisans backed with years of experience. Besides the actual bed, you can purchase bookshelves, wardrobes, tables and chairs

Napoleon, First Emperor of Love!

If you have never read Napoleon’s letters to Josephine, you will thoroughly enjoy reading this. If you have read them, the pleasure is about to become your’s all over again. Napoleon wrote letters everyday and is said to have written the better part of 75,000 letters to Josephine. In the spirit of St Valentine,I have

Question Time: Children’s Storage

What are the two overall most important tips when it comes to avoiding clutter in a child’s bedroom, and why? The first most important point is storage.  Place for everything and everything in its place is an adage that holds true. Suitable storage for various items range from the obvious wardrobe, bookshelf and coat hangers,

Inspiration From…Burberry!

      If I had  a little girl, I would dress her in this pretty faded nova check outfit from Burberry. I would accessorize with white Mary Jane shoes and a white hair bow. Her tights would be hand-knitted in red with a herringbone pattern. Yep. The faded Nova pumps shown here are from our friends

Inspired by Gourmet Coffee

  Have you seen that coffee advertisement on T.V with the gorgeous George Clooney? It inspired me to create a room that’s as drop dead gorgeous as er.. the coffee. Start by assessing how little or how much light you have coming in. If your windows are small or facing north we’ll choose a lighter

Stolen Baby Name?

Have you ever had your favourite baby name stolen? I mean you have always loved…Finley for a boy and Sophie for a girl. Everyone knows these are your favourite names. You didn’t think anything of it, which is why you comfortably blabbed about it at your friend’s baby shower.  And then she had her baby,

Baby Shopping List

I hate clutter. You probably do too. The trouble is I have a thing for notepads, post it notes, etc and have a tendency to  leave them all round too. The other day I was looking through a storage box and came across my baby shopping list. This list was made 4 years ago, right before Josh
