Decorate your Baby's room part 1: THE MUST HAVE

bouji & nouna often been asked for tips on how to decorate a baby room in a way that won't be too commercial, babyish or old...

Well, on the next few weeks they will search around the web for great items that will work perfectly on a baby room but also would do the job when your baby will come of age.

This time they've choose items that are a must on a baby's room on their opinion:

#1 - a rocking chair

A great addition to the baby's room. Great for nursing at the start and can be used from playing and reading later. The problem is that most rocking chairs are very aged, made of wood and have a very Old look.

However, don't worry, bouji & nouna found an alternative! They found great article on design sponge online, with some great alternative for any taste and budget.

bouji & nouna's favorite is the RAR rocking chair - a modern classic, designed by the legendary Eams brothers in the 1950's. A beautiful chair and bouji and nouna just adore it the clean and playful looks.

They've actually found a reproduction of him on E-bay for around 250UDS..

Unique Like a baby - bouji & nouna

The recipe for a healthy curious baby is bouji & nouna!

bouji & nouna just found this fab article on www.kidsdevelopment.co.uk about Babies Awareness of Colors.
One of the lines that really caught our eye is that "In the early months a baby’s brain works hard to learn and distinguish colors. Researchers have recently discovered that by as early as four months of age babies have not only learned to distinguish these colors, but develop a particular preference for a certain colors as well. Which Color or spectrum of colors is preferred will likely be unique to the baby and many babies show delight in a wide range of colors. However, even if parents notice a baby’s particular fondness for a Color researchers still suspect that it is best to expose the baby to a wide variety of colors and patterns to further their development."



So go ahead and expose your baby to a wide variety of colors & patterns with bouji & nouna! 

New Addiction

bouji and nouna have a new addiction! We found a Fab  design blog called "Furniture Fashion" That is all about one of our biggest loves, modern interior design. The writer of this blog always finds some super cool unique designs that make us often a bit jealous that we haven't thought about first... If we could we would have bought so many things from the manufactures presented there!
They also have a daily newsletter that send to your mailbox the latest posts they've published. This blog often makes us sing "If I was a rich man..."

Modern, Clean and fantastic!

As you probably know, we're really passion about modern design and search for it world wide..

That was our inspiration for the last treasury list we've created called "Our Modern Home".
