There are some things that shouldn’t be just for the kids (or maybe not for kids at all). For modernist, midcentury and minimalist fans, Ferm Living have reached new levels of amazing design with this incredible dolls house. 

Ensure the nursery is as stylish as the rest of your home or use as an accessory in another room and display a few well chosen pieces in its rooms (like shelves). 

This dolls house is beautifully crafted from plywood with clean simple lines and if it were a few times bigger we’d all want to move in.

We discovered these chairs last year in John Lewis and imediatly fell in love with them. Not only are they a Robin Day classic deisgn but they are at the amazing price of just £59 each. Available in three colours; light grey, dark grey and red, these chairs would look great around a dining table mixed with other chairs, or on its own as an armchair in a living room or bedroom.

‘Robin Day designed the world’s first Polypropylene Chair in 1963 for the British furniture company Hille, and its combination of strength, affordability and sheer good lokks has never been equalled.

This pioneering design represented a breakthrough in furniture technology and has sold in tens of millions worldwide’

If you are looking for some fun accessories for the home, and something with a bit of history then you should take a look at these wooden dolls from Vitra. we love the vibrant colours and charm of these dolls, originally used as toys, now hugely popular as ornaments for collectors.

‘Together with his friends Charles and Ray Eames & George Nelson, Alexander Girard was one of the leading figures of postwar American design. A key source of inspiration for his wife-ranging oeuvre, which primarily focused on textile design, was.his passion for the folk art of South America, Asia and Eastern Europe.

The Decorative wooden dolls, design  and made by Girard in 1953 for his own home in Santa Fe, were likewise inspired by his extensive personal collection of folk art.

Based on the originals found in the Girard Estate by the Vitra Design Museum, the whimsical assortment of doils, both joyful and grim, is now available as a charming enhancement to any interior’
