Mamas & Papas have launched the Dover nursery collection, a new coastal interior range to coincide with the onset of spring. Think understated, yet stylish furniture and accessories of nature inspired hues, calming blues and crisp whites inspired by this season’s nautical trend.
It’s a dreamy yet subtle collection that will have everybody thinking ahead to warmer days and seaside trips.
The Dover furniture range is characterised by soft lines and beautifully curved edges. All the pieces in the range are packed full of timeless character. The furniture boasts panelled wood detailing with a painted finish, reminiscent of a classic coastal interior style.
The three-piece Dover nursery collection includes all the essentials you’ll need in terms of furniture in one smart bundle: compact cot, dresser/changer and a full-sized wardrobe. What’s even handier is that it’s also possible to buy pieces individually, if you’re unable to start your nursery completely from scratch.
What I love about the new Mamas and Papas’ Dover collection is that it presents parents with the ideal solution for creating a beautiful nursery in a smaller space. These pieces aren’t overwhelmingly huge, but they are top quality, practical and solid.
The Dover Cotbed is a fantastic sleep solution that will grow with your baby from newborn through to four years of age. The cotbed has two base positions for ease of lying baby down, and to ensure your little one is safe in their sleeping space as they get bigger. There are even two teething rails to protect the cot and soothe baby’s gums. Once your toddler is ready, you can covert the cot into a toddler bed which will last them many years.
The Dover wardrobe is a beautiful full-sized wardrobe, which is easy to assemble at home. The wardrobe offers a variety of of storage solutions: there’s a large integrated drawer at the base of the wardrobe, two removable hanging rails within and a handy shelf that can be used for extra organisation.
A timeless three drawer dresser that can double up as a changer, perfect for those early days and night feeds. This piece of furniture would make a fantastic addition to any nursery. The changing station is removable, so the drawers can live on for years in your child’s bedroom.
To compliment the Dover furniture collection, the Sail Away With Me accessory range uses classic coastal motifs to add instant character to their soft furnishings and bedding for baby. Think anchors, shells, boats, whales and crabs on lampshades, cushions, curtains, bedding and nursery prints in 100% soft natural cotton.
Heelys, the original two-in-one wheely shoe launched in 2000, is preparing for the upcoming Easter holidays with its new spring collection. Ideal for encouraging an active, healthy lifestyle, the stylish designs will ensure kids (big and small) will roll through the holidays with ease.
The collection consists of 19 designs, including three brand new Heelys shapes: Reserve Ex, Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood. The Reserve Ex has a basketball shoe style, while the Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood tap into the current Y2K trend for an extra chunky sole.
Match your Heelys to your mood, with designs split across two main aesthetics – a darker colour scheme vs. a lighter, spring-inspired palette. Think camouflage print, graffiti text and paint drips contrasting with pastel colours, tie-dye, metallic laces, foil and rainbow print.
Available in the UK and Europe on the Heelys website and retailers, the collection is available in sizes C12-7 across single or two-wheeled styles. RRPs range from £49.99 to £69.99.
