So unless you count a kitten, I am not a parent. Yet I have seen so much adorable children’s furniture just this month alone! I also saw the cutest yellow bed that IKEA released last year and wished they had it in adult size; alas. Anyway, I thought I’d group some together as inspiration. If you end up buying any – let me know!

Switching to a more retro look, La Redoute has a great little bedroom set out.
