Nomess Copenhagen -storage when you need a spring-clean!

As the days gets longer and the sun is peeking through the window it’s time to have a proper spring-clean, to treat your home to some attention, care and love. With a few simple steps it’s easy to achieve a tidy and fresh living space.
1. Out with the old and in with the new. Well, not quite as drastic as it perhaps sounds, but do go through all things, especially the ones that has ‘no place to live’.
Consider giving away to charity what’s still usable and throw away what cannot be saved. Make decisions!

2. Everything in it’s place. In order to achieve that you’ll need storage. Especially with a smaller home a good storage solution is crucial. Storage like bookcases, shelves and multi functional furniture. Make the use of wall space by fitting a tall and narrow bookcase or shelving unit. Use coloured boxes to arrange books, magazines and DVD’s to keep them out of sight.
A streamlined room with masses of storage is an ideal way store all your child’s treasures and toys. Not only will it be time saving by easy access, but it will also protect the items from damage when laying about and maybe most importantly it will open up the room and create a feeling of space.

3. A family spring clean day. Organize a day, or two, where you involve the whole family.
We do a family spring-clean in our household and the girls just loves taking part. And helping out makes them even more happy with the end result.
They do anything from sorting out toys and clothes for charity to actually clean with water and soap. It’s actually quite helpful and even fun when everyone joins in.

Nomess Copenhagen is the ultimate solution for anyone looking to make order out of chaos with designed quality products and to give you control in your busy life. Nomess winning concept “a place for everything and everything in its place” it’s exactly what we need when organzing our home and giving it a well deserved spring clean!
Oh… and I think the products are rather funky too, I love both the finish, use of material and lots of colours! nomess.dk

Montana -Danish functionalism at its best!

Montana is a system design that is based upon the cardinal number 5.7 cm. 1/12 of a shelving unit corresponds to 5.7 cm and is the distance between two shelf positions. 5.7 cm is the measurement linking Montana to the universal DIN paper formats, including the A4 format. Use the 42 basic units, the 4 depths, 49 colours and special surfaces to create your own personal solution.
This makes Montana the ideal storage system.

We are considering Montana both for the living room and for the girls bedroom. With the unit system it can easily be modified and moved around the house according to your needs.
The girls needs more storage in their bedroom and Montana has the exact solution we need. When the girls eventually move out one day they could even bring it and use it in their very first home! The quality is superb and this is a storage solution and a design furniture that will last a lifetime, if not longer. montana.dk

Sandberg of Sweden – Happy to see you again!

Guess “who” I saw today?!? I had the pleasure of seeing a long-time-no-seen friend, Mr Sandberg of Sweden!

From the London Mummy Limited Edition Handmade range is this gorgeous, fully lined drawstring storage bag, handmade with care, using top quality 100% cotton decorator weight fabric from Sandberg of Sweden which features a range of beautiful houses and trees. (Almost matching to London Mummys logo!) Both sides of the bag feature a different section of this stunning print.

This is in fact the exact same fabric as we choose for Beatrice’s bedroom in Oslo in 2003! Remember it cost a fortune, but we simply had to have it! I still have some left over fabric somewhere… maybe I shall turn it in to one of these cute storage bags by London Mummy?

Fully lined and machine washable this medium bag measures approx 45cm by 30cm and is more than roomy enough to use as a sleepover or ballet bag or for storing all those little bits and bobs that girls just love to collect. Matching cushions and different size bags also available.
Visit londonmummy.com to see the range.

If you don’t happen to have this fabric in the attic (or you can’t find it in the billions of boxes up there) don’t worry! You can get it ready made with a beautiful finish at London Mummy for £27.50. To see more of fabulous Mr Sandberg visit sandbergab.se

We have mentioned favourite children’s furniture brand Leka Sweden and their well known Trojan Horse before.
The Trojan Horse was designed as early as in 1962 in Sweden and has recently been redesigned with rubber wheels etc. This fun toy can be a rocking horse, a stool and storage for all those little toys. Brilliant design and solid painted wood, available in several bright colours.

It’s especially hard to avoid falling in love with their adorable and ingenious Trojan Horse designs. So much fun!

Will we ever get enough storage for toys?

This is the toy that served as a model for Theodore´s fine design comprising Leka’s logo. When Evy Westerberg-Lindqvist introduced her product in 1962, the magazine “Family Record” wrote: “The Trojan horse is the model for this fun toy that works both as a stool and the location of blocks and small things.” This is still valid today, but Yngve Eriksson has made sure that the horse received hefty rubber wheels and nice round shapes and made it available in all Leka´s bright colors.
Eriksson designed this little wooden horse with inspiration from his mother-in-law Evy Westerberg Lindqvist’s furniture series for children from the 60’s and 70’s. When Evy passed away Yngve wanted to give new life to the unique products which had once been so popular. The result is this collection which is made almost entirely in Northern Sweden. The collection’s mascot is this Trojan horse.
Perfect for all those bits and bobs, secrets and goodies!

Available online at scandinavianbrandsonline.com Prices from £65
