Here at Interiors Addict we are big fans of Incy Interiors, so much so that Jen chose their Lucy change table in mint to be a feature in her nursery (the big reveal will come once it’s finished, we promise)! And we’re not the only ones. Their cots, in particular, can be seen all over magazines, blogs and Pinterest!
[contextly_sidebar id=”BI8kcZPH2FiUFF4E4DbTUXVNsOlah7cD”]Starting four years ago, Incy Interiorsย began making designer childrenโs furniture, before more recently addingย adult bedroom furniture to their repertoire.ย With a new flagship store in Sydneyโs Chatswood Chase, the once one-woman show has now grown into a team of 13 and founder Kristy Withers has one person to thank: her son, Oscar.
โFinding the perfect big boy bed for my son Oscar inspired the launch of Incy,โ explains Kristy.ย โI searched and searched for over six months to try to find the perfect brown iron bed.ย I had seen lots of gorgeous beds overseas and I tried to import them.ย I also tried to have them made here, as well as buying an old one and re-spraying it, but it was either too expensive or I was worried about the safety.โ
So instead, Kristy decided to start from scratch herself, designing and making what would be the first of many beds, the aptly titled Oscar. And while she admits sheโll always have a soft spot for her first creation, nowadays her personal favourite product is the Eden (rose gold) bed, because as Kristy so rightly says: โWhat girl doesnโt want a gold bed?!โ
As a huge fan of metallics, Kristy is glad to see them gaining in popularity. And with a personal redecorating project on the cards, transitioning her daughterโs nursery to a big girl’s room, a peach and rose gold colour palette is currently the frontrunner. โMonochrome and pastels are still going strong but Iโm excited to see that metallics, especially copper and rose gold, are making an appearance in the nurseries of some super cool new arrivals.”
For Kristy, nurseries need to tick two boxes: to be a haven for the new arrival, whilst also fitting into the rest of the house. So to make thisย room a reality, Kristy recommends spending the big bucks on one or two statement pieces and going for more thrifty pieces elsewhere. โThe absolute must-buy product is a beautiful cot. Even in the smallest of spaces, a divine cot allows you to create a beautiful space for your little one. If space and budget allow, a good change table and comfortable (but also stylish) chair will make those hours of feeding and changing a lot easier. Then if you have those gorgeous pieces that grab your attention, you can go for more budget savvy items elsewhere.”
