I recently discovered yet another original and local baby brand which I love, called Cloud + Co (you can read about my first baby brand feature here). The owners say that they’re inspired by the Scandinavian aesthetic, and it shows in the carefully curated items for babies and kids. Each of the products could easily…
I have to be honest – I feel like the current trends in baby & kids decor are getting a bit stale. So many of the shops, markets and social media feeds are filled with the same cookie-cutter design ideas – there’s A LOT of chevron, woodland creatures and tee-pee’s! Don’t get me wrong, many…
