6 Stylish Toys for Tots

Published on May 27, 2015

As a parent and a designer, one of the things I love most is how lately there has been such a great drive toward reclaiming a modern, well-designed life, even after you’ve had kids. You no longer have to make that descent into a brightly-coloured, jingly jangly, plastic world. It started with nursery and room design- from floor to ceiling, you can now choose from well made and thoughtfully curated goods. Neutrals, charcoal grey, and vivid colours like navy blue have replaced standard pastels, graphic patterns and prints are the order of the day, and texture is everywhere.

Toys are no different. The best part is these are often handmade by independently run small businesses, from sustainable materials, non-toxic paints & finishes, and with a special focus on style and design. Wood and metal details are perfectly at home with leather accents, tactile fabrics and colours that are inspiring, not jarring. These childhood essentials fit in perfectly with your own aesthetic, no matter if you lean towards mid century modern, traditional design, or Scandinavian minimalism.

Here are 6 must-have toys to bring home for your little hipster tot and their well-designed life.

Gorgeous mid-century modern inspired small Miniko dollhouse by Miniio, and it comes with that darling furniture too! P.S: A certain leggy doll will fit perfectly in this house in case you were wondering. Via Design Life Kids.

Handmade, wooden, monochrome pattern and letter blocks from Babee & Me. So perfect if you love black and white Scandinavian style. These also come in a gorgeous blush and pink combination in case black and white isn’t your thing.

    Thank you Naushin, for featuring our eco-friendly wooden toy on your blog. We appreciate it very much. We believe that play = learning, and what better way to do that than with your imagination! Be well.

STYLING TIP // Always add art, always. 😍 I had STYLING TIP // Always add art, always. 😍 I had a serious case of fomo and rushed to get this piece of #isolationcreation goodness by @jamiebeck.co before the series was retired. I have no regrets! It’s absolutely gorgeous and it brings me right back in time to those surreal lockdown days. In conclusion, go buy some original art and support an artist! 😀 #sofreshmyhome

Will I sort it out today? Probably not tbh. Dusting is my least favourite chore. Hbu? Anyway, happy Friday! The last 10 nights of Ramadan have started and I’m so extremely grateful for being here. May all our prayers be answered in this extra special time. #sofreshmyhome
