Famille Summerbelle – So Frenchy, So Chic

I recently came across an amazing label creating the most awesome prints, wall decals, accessories and general gorgeousness – with a nod to Frenchy chic, Famille Summerbelle designs are creative and inspiring, but still fun and educational for kids. I was smitten by the incredibly detailed city maps, which are based in original hand cuts and are technically correct, but have so many quirky inclusions that you can stare at them for hours. Choose from London, Paris or New York and say goodbye to that boring old desk globe!

The learning prints also caught my interest – no primary coloured A is for Apple here! Instead, match each original illustration to its letter, except for M…he’s hiding somewhere for you to find. Similarly, learn your numbers with images of sweets, or get tots started on their first words with the point-and-learn hidden objects Townhouse.

A beautiful keepsake, or an activity for older kids, the Family Tree prints are original and would be a real talking point (who says they have to be confined to a kiddy room?!). Stick your fave pictures on and keep it as a gorgeous family memento.

If the prints aren’t enough, deck out an entire room in printed wallpaper and matching cushions – mini fashionistas will love the Dress Up print while the Kissing birds is perfect for a nursery.

Sigh. Luckily, you don’t just have to look and drool – most of their products are available on the website which accepts PayPal and ships internationally. Hurrah!
