Small & sweet
If you’re after timeless images your child knows and loves, Littleart canvases are perfect for decorating their walls. Over 50 different images to choose from, and 100% New Zealand-made. (www.littleart.co.nz or 0800 888 878 for stockists)

Big & bold
If you have the scope for large-scale wall decor, the E-glue collection is great for children’s rooms. Custom-made in France, you can select colours to suit your décor, and there are heaps of sizes and styles to choose from. We love the giga-KIT murals, as well as the smaller pico-sTIK graphics you can stick wherever you want. (Available from www.plushtoys.co.nz)

Wordsworth
Words are a simple yet effective way to add style and personality to your home, and make your little one’s room very personal and unique. From their name to an evocative word like “play”, “sleep”, or “dream”, you can say anything you want in one of nine fonts and 13 standard colours to match any interior. (www.artazon.co.nz)

Scope for imagination
We can’t get enough of Twinkle-star — it’s all New Zealand-made and totally fun for children’s rooms. Their new collection of MDF letters and shapes are fantastic for the DIYers out there. Buy them unpainted and finish them yourself to match your child’s room, or have them painted up for you. In a variety of shapes from small-scale fairies to large wall murals.
