A behind-the-scenes insight into our collection and how to style these products in your home!

A Warm Welcome to Our Newest Collection

We're absolutely thrilled with the response to our Baby & Kids collection launch last Saturday! We poured so much time and effort into making this collection beautiful, sustainable, and family-friendly, and it's wonderful to see it resonates with you. As many of you saw on launch day, these products are not just stylish and thoughtfully designed, but also eco-friendly. A huge thank you to everyone who joined our launch party, both in-store and online – we hope you enjoyed the special discount!

 

Our "Why": The Essence Home Promise for Little Ones

Essence Home was founded on a deep commitment to sustainability, and we prioritise eco-friendly practices in every aspect of our business. When we decided to launch our kids' range, it was non-negotiable that it had to embody these core values. It was also important for us to ensure synergy across all our collections, reflecting the same thoughtful design and quality you've come to expect from our existing pieces.

Our journey into the world of children's decor began with inspiration from meal times, which led us to Mushie. This family-founded American baby brand is renowned for creating sustainable, safe, and beautifully designed baby essentials that perfectly cater to modern parents. Their dedication to non-toxic, food-grade silicone and organic cotton products, designed for durability and longevity, truly resonated with us.

Alongside Mushie, we've proudly collaborated with Barcelona-based brand Nobodinoz. They share very similar values regarding sustainable practices, and their beautiful, trendy products are simply a dream! During the hand-selection process, we worked closely with Nobodinoz to find the best-suited products for Essence Home and our cherished customer base. Our values truly aligned as we agreed that products designed for children needed to be built to last. Nobodinoz particularly inspired much of our collection with the idea that these products aren't just for children; they are thoughtfully crafted for the whole family to enjoy.

 

Meet the Collection: Style & Substance

During the hand-selection process, our commitment wasn't just to sustainability, but also to ensuring these products perfectly reflected the stylish essence of the Essence Home brand! This meant choosing colourful and trendy pieces that bring joy and character to any space. Our love for checkerboard and stripes was a huge "must-have" in this collection. You'll see this come to life in pieces like the gorgeous Mustard and Sand checkerboard armchair bean bag and the matching checkerboard cotton lampshades. We also adored the range of soft pastel colours available in the Mushie Silicone Bowls, Plates, and Teethers, perfect for everyday use.

Bringing Conscious Style to Their Space

The matching colours and playful patterns across the collection allow you to create a cohesive and trendy look in your children's playroom or bedroom. Using consistent colours and textures helps build a sense of synergy and calm in every space, making it both stimulating and serene.

Here are a few ways to bring conscious style into your little one's room with our new collection:

• Create Colour Zones: Use a large piece like the Mustard and Sand checkerboard armchair bean bag as a focal point in a reading corner or play area. Complement it with coordinating Nobodinoz Cotton Waffle Baskets in similar warm tones to define the space and keep books or toys tidy.

• Layer Textures for Comfort: Incorporate a soft, organic cotton throw over a small chair or at the end of a bed. Layer it with one of our patterned cushions for added warmth and visual interest.

• Elevate Mealtime Displays: Don't just hide away the Mushie Silicone Bowls, Plates, and Teethers. Their beautiful pastel hues make them perfect for open shelving in the kitchen or a dedicated highchair "styling moment". Arrange them with a small, natural wood decorative item or a tiny vase with a single flower for an Instagram-worthy setup.

• Thoughtful Wall Decor: Use our cotton lampshades to add a soft glow and a pop of pattern to a reading nook or above a changing station. Pair them with a simple, framed piece of art or a decorative banner from the collection to create a charming wall gallery.

• Practicality with Personality: Our Cotton Waffle Baskets by Nobodinoz aren't just for toys! Use them to stylishly store nappies and wipes next to the changing table, keep extra blankets organised, or even as a chic laundry hamper. Their fun colours and shapes are also great for encouraging cognitive development in your child's early years, enhancing their imagination and inspiring tidiness!

• On-the-Go Style: For parents on the go, our Insulated Lunch / Baby Bottle Bags are both practical and stylish. Available in two lovely colour ways, Leopard Print and Terracotta Check, they offer a more sophisticated and subtle effect compared to typical baby bags. They're perfect for carrying snacks, bottles, or even your own lunch while maintaining a minimal aesthetic.
