Hip and Stylish Children's Rooms 

Picture
Picture
This is a post for those of you who are sick of girly, girly pink rooms. I often hear parents complaining that there are no modern, hip, non-gendered choices for children's furniture in Istanbul. When looking to create an alternative, cool look for our kids rooms, we sometimes have to scour the city for simple, scandinavian-ish, non-disney products. Sure, one could order stuff online or have things made by a "marangoz" (Turkish people have a phone number for at least one carpenter, one upholsterer and one house painter on their iphones) but, really, why go to all that trouble when you could re-do your little hipster's room in a day?
The trick is to just pick and choose items that are not pink and balance out the cutesy stuff with products that are not necessarily from the kids section. Here  are my favourite cool kid products below.

As always none of these items will break the bank and with the right bold combination and  maybe a black chalk paint accent wall, your 6 year old will be on the road to hipness from a good early age. If you need additional inspiration you can check out my two favourite design blogs: Mommo Design and Apartment Therapy.

All of my picks are from IKEA, Zara Home, H&M Home and Nanu Bedtime...and all are sold here in Turkey. Enjoy...

P.S. If you are looking for the cool clothing equivalent of these stylish items, then check out a Turkish fashion label for kids that I adore...These clothes are not only hip and fun, they are exceptionally comfortable...I will post separetely about them soon: YOYO Everyday!!

P.P.S. Both Nanu Bedtime and YoYo Everyday were founded by outstandingly creative Istanbulite female entrepreneurs!

A leather sofa adds luxury and elegance to any room in your home. Leather sofas come in a variety of colors, sizes and styles. Before purchasing a leather sofa, study the different styles available to you. Leather sofas at one time were cost prohibitive and considered quite a luxury.

The bedroom is a very important part of any home. It is a great place to relax and get away from the troubles of the day. However, if your bedroom is starting to look outdated and worn down, it may not be the sanctuary you need it to be.

The internet is bliss in our hectic lives as it provides for our every requirement and shower us with everything that we need and want. Buying furniture online rather than a retail store will come with many benefits and advantages. Shopping from any online store will not just save your time and fuel but, also makes the process of shopping hassle free. You can easily compare the prices of a single product at different E-tail stores and then buy from the store or site that offers a wise deal!

The furniture industry is fiercely competitive. There are many different kinds of furniture to choose from: dining room furniture, living room, kitchen, outdoor, and office - just to name a few, and there are furniture accessories to consider as well.

The brand Chesterfield has a legacy spanning over decades. As the rumor goes the brand was named after the Earl of Chesterfield, though this is not a proven fact. A Chesterfield sofa, in the 18th and 19th century looked akin to a settee, an elongated armchair that accommodated two or more people.
