Can’t wait to see you there. Please do spread the word to family, friends & colleagues. Thank you. See you soon!!!
With great pleasure, we present the rooms awarded 2nd & 3rd place in our ‘Show us your Room’ photo competition 2019. These rooms were selected for their use of colour, some creative license, a dash of design flair & fab presentation, all creating delightful bedroom spaces. Congratulations!
Heather Hoy – ‘My granddaughter loves to visit and often takes a book and just falls asleep in her special room. She loves it because it’s beautiful.’
The Judges said …” What girl, big or small, wouldn’t love to sleep in this room. Oh so cosy! This room is very complete. The owner has made great use of everything PR, successfully combining several collections very nicely; there is also lovely use of both aqua & silver elements linking all the linen & accessories really well. The lines are simple, not congested & there is nice use ( without overuse ) of accessories. Overall, a truly delightful room.
——————————
Krysta Ardern – ‘We entered a couple of years ago with my then two-year-old’s room featuring some of your beautiful cot linen and accessories. This is his big boy room. Our family loves to read and my four year old adores story time and chilling alone in his room with his books and audio books. Dr Seuss is a bit of a fave of mine (and my son is enjoying his work now too!), so we included the bright truffula trees and quote from ‘Horton hears a Who’. I designed his room so that Isaac can relax with a good book, or have hush hour in his snuggly bed with an audio book playing.
The ‘Tom’ range fitted so well with the bright aesthetic of the Truffula trees, and I love the classic grey and white stripe that ties the whole story together from the sheeting to the cushions and lamp shade.
We now have a six-month-old baby girl who already has a few PR pieces in her room. I look forward to designing her room with your beautiful products when she is a bit older!’
The judges said …” There is a wonderful story with this boys bedroom. We enjoyed understanding the concept of the wall decals, making this a special space for both sleeping & also reading. Clever!! We really like the mix of a colour with the Tom duvet covers, books shelves & floor rug, & again, the colour use is not overpowering; rather it’s levelled by the block colours in the Tom linen. A very smart boys room. Well done“
A very loud, roaring ‘thank you’ to ALL of you who picked up kids clothing, tidied toys, cleared floors, revamped & re-decorated rooms, ‘clicked’ & then took the time ( something very precious to us all ) to email us your bedroom photo entries. There were so many amazing Mums who did this! Many inspired, motivated & amazed us!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! We wish we could award each & every one of you a prize!!
It was certainly a very difficult task to select the winners amongst so many gorgeous bedrooms featuring PR linen & products. After many days of deliberation between our 3 judges, consensus was finally made. We loved the high standard of room decoration & attention to detail – there are some very lucky children with very special bedrooms & spaces. Well done all of you. You blew us away!!! Our overall winning rooms were selected for their attention to detail & expression, which can sometimes be the simple things.
So without further ado, our winning room was awarded to Victoria Park, with her daughters room decked out in Lou Lou linen ( shown below ). Congratulation to Victoria, who wins a $500 PR Voucher.
Heather Hoy with her grand daughters room, featuring Evie linen & Krysta Ardern’s room using Tom linen were our 2nd & 3rd place winners, each winning an annual subscription to Your Home & Garden.
4th & 5th where so difficult to select as so many of you entered gorgeous pics & your kids rooms were just a delight. Our next winners are Melanie Old, featuring Lou Lou & Rosie O’Sullivan with Stripy Sam.
But we couldn’t help ourselves!. The standard was so high & the judging so close that we have also awarded another prize. Our additional winner was Kelly Greer, with her Wills Star room. Congratulations to all of our winners & thank you to everyone who entered. Stay posted for further comps & offers ….& room pics of all our winners.
Victoria Parks daughters room with Lou Lou duvet & comforter & groovy grape rug
Victoria said : “I have photographed my daughter’s airy room and would like to enter this into your competition. We have used your beautiful and bright Lou Lou set. Her favourite colour is purple, so we’ve placed a heavier accent on this, for a stunning look. Thank you for the gorgeous products!’
The judges said: ‘We loved the use of colour in this room, with everything working so well. The hero feature for us was certainly the Lou Lou duvet cover & Lou Lou comforter. We liked the colourful play with cushions & all features being bolted together with the groovy grape rug. Then master finishing touches of the drawer colours & art piece. The room had lovely balance from wall to floor of colour & mixed patterns. There was certainly a great use of PR products without crowding; and good use of the anchoring colour, purple, without being overly strong. A very bright, breezy & comfortable interior. Well done‘
We are buzzing with birthday bash as we celebrate our ‘Sweet 16’ birthday & an amazing adventure designing 100% cotton linen & interiors for kids rooms around NZ, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong & UAE. Not bad for a little old NZ company. Most importantly, we couldn’t have done it without you, so thanks! To celebrate, we have created a video with a few of our highlights & memories. Loads of designs, products, customers & popping up fun.
Park up with a coffee or vino, crank up the volume & sing loudly!!!
There are a few people who we couldn’t find photos of ( so sorry) who have been such an intricate part of the pathway – Kath, Clare, Rach M & Rach J, Jude H & Jude M. & of course Sally who has been the main inspiration. And Karen (we know how you love your photo taken) who has been part of PR for over 9 years. Plus there are so many of you Popup helpers (thank you) & others who have swopped in along the way.

There are very few retailers that are the whole package – provide an amazingly beautiful store & show room for our linen & interiors, who have believed in PR 110% of the way, who are happy to provide some gentle guidance ( sometimes tear-jerkingly honestly ) if we swerve in the wrong direction but just as happy to pat us on the back when we do something well. And not everyone has a great ear (& eye) & is a kind sounding board like the team at OOTC, Adelaide, Australia. Hence they are the 1st to be spot-lighted for our 16th birthday.
PLUS, they have a brilliant birthday offer for Australian customers, with 30% OFF ALL PR until Fri 21st June 2019
We reflect on Out of the Cot from 2014 & catch up with them today on what they are currently enjoying. We get the lo-down from Emma on their beautiful store …
2019 : What is your fav PR design today & why? I currently love Archie! With our eldest having just turned 11 (seriously when did I get old enough to have an 11 yr old) Archie is just perfect. Archie is that perfect mix of modern & grown up yet still fun and the soft charcoal colour palate is simply stunning.
What is your current fav meal ? My brother is a chef & fisherman on the Tuna boats & I have to say high quality Tuna Sashimi is always a favourite…but I recently had a seared Tuna Poke Bowl and oh my goodness, Yum!
2014 : Which designs are working well for you? We are currently crushing on Charlotte. With its gorgeous mix of Aqua, Pink, Red & Apple Green we’re finding Charlotte is starting to give Lou Lou a run for her money for the Tween Girl market. We think the gorgeous cushions are the what make this design so very appealing. The combination of the pink velvet flower & ballerina cushion are simply too hard to resist. What are your customers looking for when doing up their children’s rooms? Inspiration! We are constantly being asked what we use in my children’s rooms and for any hots styling tips. My number one styling tip – choose your 3 base colours are work from there. It is amazing how almost any item with any theme can work in a space as long as the base colour tones are complementary. My other tip to match a couple of items perfectly to give the look continuity. This is one (of the many reasons) I love Patersonrose! You can have your base linen, lampshade & tab top curtains and then blend everything else from there – there is so many product lines to choose from, I often find myself spoilt for choice. What’s your best selling PR accessory? RUGS! The range of Patersonrose rugs is quite simply awesome! The large block colour rectangle designs are heavy, durable & very easy to clean (an absolute must for a children’s bed or playroom). Also with the choice of colours available in the round shaggy’s – there is a rug to suit almost any look! Favourite design & why ? I love Tom. The combo of blue & grey with just a pop of green is stunning & works equally well for a 5 or 15 yr old. The only difficulty I’m having is decoding if I prefer the Grey Stripe or Cobalt Blue sheeting! On a personal note, what’s your current fav meal ? My favourite winter meal at the moment is Asian Roast Chicken. It’s a different take on a traditional roast chicken with the stuffing consisting of tamarind and Asian spices and then reducing the stock & mixing with coconut milk to produce a coconut milk gravy. This is then served with Rice & Steamed Greens. Served with a glass of Pinot Grigio – perfect!
We are buzzing with birthday bash as we celebrate our ‘Sweet 16’ birthday & an amazing 16 year journey of designing 100% cotton linen & interiors for kids rooms around NZ, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong & UAE. Not bad for a little old NZ company. Most importantly, we couldn’t have done it without you, so thanks! To celebrate, each week throughout June, we will have specials, share memories, have loads of competitions, exciting blogs, Friday Frenzies + loads more.So let’s rock into it with our 1st Friday Frenzy … $5 cushions & canvases – WOW!

LIFELINE DONATION
In April, we pledged $10 for every PR NEW design duvet cover sold to go to NZ Lifeline to assist teenage suicide prevention!! Lifeline help 1000’s of kids each month who suffer from abuse, mental health issues, bullying, abuse & much much more without ANY government funding. And wow, did you all support that. $750 has been donated to this amazing cause. Even better, it takes exactly $750 to train each volunteer who could be answering some of the 10,000 calls made to Lifeline each month. Thank you PR customers – you are the best!!
———————-
STAY POSTED THIS MONTH FOR …
– FACEBOOK posts for sales & competitions – our BLOG for exciting news, videos, competition details & room tips – Instagram as we gram some interesting stuff – & emails for our Friday Flash, retailer news & Photo comp details.
It really is quite unbelievable that we have had 16 amazing years of designing & creating bed linen & interiors right here in little old NZ. What a journey. We can’t say it’s all been easy – it hasn’t! There has been heart break & ache along the way, the odd design tragedy ( thankfully not many ), some deep soul searching, with times of change & turbulence.
But in our hearts, we have always held the passion to design & create beautiful 100% cotton bedding for your charming children & had so many loyal & fun customers ( and a few addicted ones – you know how you are – Victoria, Heather, Trudi, Melody, Megan, our lovely Anne-marie ) & the rest of you who keep us ‘alive’.
So, it is with jumps of joy that we enter June to celebrate our 16th birthday. There is going to be loads of fun – rallying retailers, guessing games, photo comps, specials & of course, we have chocolate ( chocolate must ALWAYS be at birthday partys ).
So please rah rah & woop woop with us. We want to know what you love, what you haven’t, what you remember & of course, what you would like us make to.
With NZ’s teenage suicide rate being the highest of any OECD country, that’s totally tragic. Affecting most New Zealanders in some way, no one person or company can solve this issue alone, but we all can do a little to help make a change together.
So, for the month of April, every NEW design duvet purchased, Patersonrose will donate $10 towards teenage suicide prevention.
Your child’s room should be a fun space, a sanctuary that they love to go to, where they can chill out or bring their friends & siblings. And let’s remember, all our children are different – they have different likes, dislikes, colour tastes & interior needs. But with a little effort, you can make your child’s room uniquely theirs & have loads of fun doing it!!
We love the simplicity of black & white in a girls room, especially an older girls room, as shown, using the Jemima duvet. But we also love the addition of colour to give the room some punch & personality, like soft pink, or a splosh of soft blue, with pastel blue sheeting.
The beauty of black & white is you can stay smart & simple just with black & white, or add any other hero colour you wish too. Have re-decorating!
Hot OFF the production press & created with lots of passion with copious customer contribution via facebook, popups, emails & phone calls, retailer suggestions & full PR team critiquing, we are very proud to introduce our NEW Leon Collection 2018. A rich deep navy blue, metallic grey, charcoal & a nod of red, this quilt cover screams modern, simple, easy & smashingly good looking!!!
We wanted to respond to you, our PR customers, requests, while injecting into our collections a boys design that spans across many ages, is modern, yet also classic. What we did NOT want was tizzy, delicate, multicoloured. Oh no!! You, our customer wanted bold & blocky. And so, we have created Leon!!
It’s so often hard to find nice boys bedding which is also 100% beautiful cotton, is available up to queen bedding size & is a nice ‘boyish’ design – not too young, yet not adult. Our Leon Collection of bedding is this & more; it’s easy – easy to match the the storm grey sheeting & gunpowder grey rug, easy to dress with cushions for big boys, or transition to a smaller boys bedroom. Boom for boys bedding!
R. Twigg – Australia : I got my new rug and I it. Thank you PR. I think my kids have the best looking rooms thanks to you I am a huge fan; fabulous company!
From our designers : “Many hours go on behind the scenes, compiling the ‘story’ of each design we produce from our customer feedback, retailers requests but mostly, from our heart!. Retailers have been consulted, customers queried, staff members contributed. Each design starts with a brief, sketches for design outlay then layer by layer, the fabric is pieced together, adding colours, pattern & size, all to meet our overall brief. Ultimately, we are hoping you, our fabulous PR fans, with be smiling & will love of our latest designs”
Zoe is a design of when style hits-the-city, with its bold use of fashionable fresh aqua, paired with raspberry & hot pink. Modern use of ultra large circles makes this a very bewitching bed linen design. Zoe‘s versatility to incorporate a range of interior options makes it a flexible collection to create a bedroom design to suit whatever your daughters age & taste; to pair with existing accessories or go wild & re-vamp wall colours.
Let’s be honest, there are not very many linen collections which are timeless yet fashionable, edgy but not wacky and manage to make a girls bedroom radiant!!
With great pleasure, we present the rooms awarded 2nd place in our ‘Show us your Room’ photo competition 2017. These rooms were selected for their use of colour, some creative license, a dash of design flair & fab presentation, all creating delightful bedroom spaces. Congratulations!
The Judges said …”This girls room is very complete. We loved the use of the colour aqua to link the wall, bed & window dressing, yet the room is not overwhlemed by aqua; there is also good use of other colour elements such as red. The lines are simple, not congested & there is lovely use of accessories – the wall book cube, ‘dream’ & the red heart. Nice layering with the cushions. What girl, big or small, wouldn’t love to sleep in this room!”
——————————
Kathryn Taylor – Christchurch: This is my 3 year olds ‘big girls room.’ It was her birthday present that she upgraded to a big bed and a new colour scheme. She adores it and I love how funky and bright the Patersonrose linen makes it! The curtains are her old cot sheets and stitched down the sides of plain lavender ones.
Kathryn Taylors Big Girls room : Lou Lou quilt cover & Lou Lou comforter, bunting & assorted girls cushions.The judges said …” There is a wonderful use of innovation in this girls bedroom. Fantastic use of PR girls Lou Lou bedding, intertwined with the same fabrics to make curtains & also the word ‘free’ Clever!! We really like the use of a colour from wall to bed to curtain trims, & again, this colour use is not overpowering; rather it’s leveled with the stronger colours in the Lou Lou linen. A very smart girls room. Well done“
A Gi-Normous thank you to ALL of you who picked up kids clothing, tidied toys, cleared floors, revamped & re-decorated rooms, ‘clicked’ & then took the time ( something very precious to us all ) to email us your bedroom photo entries.
Wow! We were blown away with the high standard of your bedrooms!! Many inspired, motivated & amazed us!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
It was certainly a very difficult task to select the winners amongst so many gorgeous bedrooms featuring PR linen & products. After 3 days of deliberation between the 4 judges, consensus was finally made. We did note, the standard of room decoration & attention to detail had increased considerably from our last competition – there are some very lucky children with very special bedrooms & spaces. We also note, the flair & individual creativeness was very ‘WOW’. Well done all of you. You blew us away!!!
Our overall winners rooms were selected for their attention to detail, which can sometimes be the simple things. Congratulations to Krysta Ardern with her sons room who was our overall 1st place winner.
Rachael Twigg with her daughters room, featuring Lucy linen & Kathryn Taylor with her Big girls room were our 2nd place winners.
But we couldn’t help ourselves!. The standard was so high & the judging so close that we have also awarded 3 other entries prizes. Our additional winners were Heather Hoy, Sarah Delaney & Aimee Donaldson. Congratulations to all of our winners & thank you to everyone who entered. Stay posted for further comps & offers ….
Our Photo Competition 1st place winner, Krysta Ardern, with her sons room.
The judges said: ‘We loved the feel & flow of this room, with the hero being the Mariner quilt cover on the cot, combined with the sheeting & Mariner comforter. We loved the finishing touches of the 1,2,3 floor rug, a few matching cushions & bunting looped on the wall. The room had a lovely balance from wall to floor of colour & mixed patterns. There was certainly a good use of PR products without crowding; red white & blue, without being strongly one colour. A very cozy & comfortable interior. Well done‘
Having a new baby is one of THEmost exciting times of your life but it can be surrounded with some anxiety – how will I cope? what if I don’t know what to do? where do I find nice 100% cot linen for my new little treasure? Be assured, you will cope, you will find out what to do, & of course, Patersonrose has lovely 100% sheeting, comforters & quilt covers for cots!!! Yay.
Our new born babes deserve to sleep in 100% natural cotton that breathes. And one of the most exciting parts of having a baby, is setting up the nursery with the bedding, wall art ( canvases ) bunting, lampshades & a rug; such fun!! Babies cotton bedding & nice ( not tacky ) nursery accessories are not always easy to find. But now you have discovered Patersonrose, your nursery creation can begin. But be careful!! Patersonrose bedding can become quite an addiction. It’s rather lovely to touch & quite delish to sleep in.
Click here for earlier articles on tips of setting up your nursery.
At Patersonrose, we do our utmost to have a range of designs for you to select from; designs for modern homes, contemporary houses, for homes with a classic lean, city apartments, country homesteads. There are designs for all nurseries, kids rooms, tweens & teens, bringing kids rooms to life.
Our Charlotte quilt cover / doona is seriously Gorgeous ( yes! with a captial G ). Aimed to please our younger girls, the Charlotte quilt cover / duvet combines pretty florals, with classic stripes and splendid spots and incorporates the latest fashion colours – duck egg blue, soft pink, sage green & red. Beautiful detail, yet divine & ultra pretty, the Charlotte quilt cover / doona makes your girls bedroom space an elegant place to be.
With days getting shorter & nights cooler, we want our little kids ( and big kids ) to be toasty warm in their rooms & beds. At PR, we provide a range of winter coziness, starting with our coral fleece throws. Soft, tactile & fun, these will warm your child’s room & play area. Brilliant for beds, bean bags, on the sofa & cosying in the car.
Comforters are another good winter investment. These are similar to a bedspread & can be pulled up over a duvet / quilt for extra winter warmth, with comforter options for both girls & boys. Being 100% cotton & cotton fill & gorgeously quilt stitched, comforters really add ‘wow’ to bedrooms.
Hot OFF the press & created with copious customer contribution via facebook, popups, emails, phone calls & retailers, we are very proud to introduce our NEW George Collection 2016/17. A rich deep indigo blue & metallic grey, this quilt cover screams modern, simple, easy & smashingly good looking!!! What we did NOT want was tizzy, delicate, multicoloured. Oh no!! You, our customer wanted bold & blocky. George!!
It’s so often hard to find nice boys bedding which is also 100% beautiful cotton & also is available up to queen. Our George Collection of bedding is this 7 more; it’s easy – easy to match the the storm grey sheeting & gunpowder grey rug, easy to dress with cushions for big boys, or transition to a smaller boys bedroom.
Do you remember this boys collection? It’s the very handsome Jack range we released in 2007. A quilt cover / duvet of boy-stripes in navy, brown, taupe, grey & green. The Jack comforter was a cool block of denims in blue, grey & charcoal. Very masculine & probably ahead of its time!
Sarah Coole, Singapore : “Fynn is excited to have his new linen. We have three boys and they all have Apples & Pears/Patersonrose bed linen. We love it! We are kiwis living in Singapore for the past 17 years but there is nothing like linen from home.
I have to say, we have been with you right from the beginning and have been so pleased with the product quality. We have three different comforters, sheets etc and purchased them from Linens to Love in Napier (home for us) probably eight years ago. Living in the tropics linen can fade, discolor and fray. But not our Patersonrose, it’s still in tip top condition which makes me very happy. I think I started a bit of a Patersonrose revolution over here. So many friends who saw my boys room with your linen loved it that they copied and also purchased! They would always say, do you mind us copying you!!
Keep up the great work, bringing out new designs etc and the Coole Bros will always be fans.”
Have you heard us say …’We LOVE Cushions‘? That’s ‘cos we do!! On so many levels!.
Tick – cushions are super cosy. Tick – they are a cost effective way to add colour & theme. Get tired of them; it won’t break the bank to change & get a new colour-wave happening! Tick – there’s a fab range for all ages & tastes. Tick – cushions are also practical – use them to prop up for reading in bed. Tick – they look friggin’ fantastic.
So if you haven’t yet made the investment of a couple of PR cushions, don’t dilly-dally any longer :)
We are all about fashion ( in a comfortable way ) & what the ‘in’ looks are for girls rooms in 2017. Having collaborated with our customers for over 11 years creating kids bedroom fashion, we launched the Ashley Collection in 2016/17 to meet our customers requests for pastel colours & spots, with an element of modern ‘randomness’. Softly colourful, with wide age appeal for girls of all ages, the Ashley quilt cover ( duvet / doona ) has the extreme versatility of fitting into any room, with boundless colour combo’s.
The Ashley bedding encompasses a soft pastel rainbow of spots – blue, aqua, yellow, pink, lilac & mint green on a fresh white background. Delicious subtle colours. Team this duvet cover / doona with a raft of sheeting & cushions options & you have created a stunning girls room.
The ‘Look’ can easily be transformed by adding orange, yellow or silver with our NEW cushions, a rug or graphic pillowcases. Be brave & add colour; or stay fashionably white. The choice is yours!
Kathryn Taylor, Christchurch: “Here’s a proper shot of my daughters new room for you! It’s easy to make a room pop when working with such gorgeous textiles :) “
“Hi there. Just wanted you to see how cute my wee 2yr old girl’s room is! Loving our Charlotte bedding! My wee 6mth old also has her cot duvet ready to be used! Thanks!” Cherie M.
K. Taylor :“Sneak peek at my daughters new LouLou room! Yet to complete but almost ready. Used PR cot sheets to bring the curtains into the theme. And a very happy wee girl with the result!“
Red, white & blue! Such classic & timeless colours; bright & colourful, themed but ageless. You simply can not ever have too many cushions!!! Cushions in a boys room create some theme, add colour, whilst having the practical aspects of propping up for reading or perching on the floor.
Cushions from top, clockwise: white star, yacht, blast off, four star, up up & away, 3 star, blue union jack, blue world map, rules
Anne, Hawkes Bay : “Thanks so much Patersonrose. We (my daughter and I) love the items we bought. She loves the fact she’s on Facebook with her new duvet cover and pillows. You have two raving fans. Kind regards Anne
PS The lady in the Popup store was amazing! She was soooo helpful and friendly which made all the difference!! She is an asset to your team!“
Maree McNally “James loves his Will’s Star duvet, Mariner rug and the cushions! We have the Will’s Star spot top sheet on at the moment with the cobalt blue fitted sheet. The room is still a bit of a work in progress as need to get a few more pictures on the walls!“
Kate Simmonds, Christchurch- “Hi Patersonrose team, Logan loves his Patersonrose linen in his cot and on his big boys bed (all ready for when he moves out of his cot). Mummy loves the quality and designs, plus choice of colours too. We’ve used PR linen on both his cot and the bed. Logan’s very talented Uncle Guy Ellis (aka DCYPHR) was over from Los Angeles (where he now lives) doing some murals and art works for the Spectrum Street Art Festival here in Christchurch, and kindly spray painted the very cool Space mural to go with Logan’s PR Mariner bedding. Logan’s arty big sister Sophie and his Daddy did the other spaceship picture for him. We love the PR Pacific stamp cushion too.”
Fiona Woodham, Hawkes Bay : “Thanks heaps for the speedy delivery and wonderful service. Ava had her first night ever in her big bed tonight and was so excited for her beautiful bedding!“
“Hi Guys – We love your Patersonrose products and as you can see have a room full of them!!! Both our girls love their bedding and rug and we just love how colourful the room is. The room is on the south side of the house but with the warm colours in the bedding and curtains the room always feels warm. My girls are only 4 & 2 but this bedding will grow with them. The girls have their red sheets on but we also love it when the light blue sheets are on their beds too (LOL stripe for the left bed and Principle Bell blue spots on the right bed) everything just works together well. We also love that the Lucy duvet is reversible with the stripes so we can change it up a bit every couple of weeks. My youngest daughter absolutely loves her ‘birdy buzzy’ cushion (as she calls it….said with a squeal)
Anne C, Hawkes Bay : “Hi there! Here’s some photos of my daughter with her new bedding which she loves…she woke up this morning and said to my husband “Daddy feel this it feels lovely and soft”
This is a design for where ‘style hits the city’ with its bold use of fashionable fresh aqua, paired with raspberry & hot pink. A modern use of large circles makes this a very bewitching bed linen design. Zoe’s versatility in creating a range of interior options makes it a flexible design to suit any girls age ( big girl to younger ), tastes, existing accessories or alternatively, have no boundaries & go wild with wall colours. Let’s be honest, there are not very many linen collections which are timeless yet fashionable, span a range of ages & look fab & funky. With such a variety of interior options you have within PR, the hard part is actually choosing. There are no wrong mix & match options; simply choose the pieces you simply love!
Sonya S. “Just letting you know my order arrived this morning. Wow, that was super speedy! Thanks so much for your great service :) Miss 12 yr old was rapt when she came home from school today. It was all a surprise for her – she has had the duvet cover for a couple of years now. How fresh her room looks now with the added bits & bobs. She especially loves the LOL cushion, as does her 9 yr old sister who asked if she could make Miss 12 a loom band to swap for the cushion ;) Thanks again!“
( Continuing on from our article Part 1, last month … )
Exciting! The magical time is nearing for Baby to arrive & you are getting nesty, wanting the room all prepared for you little ones arrival home. By now, you may have set your nursery budget, possibly found out what sex your baby is & chosen wall colours, you probably bought Girl Clothes already.
Tip : A baby won’t need a pillow – they need to lie flat. But an empty pillowcase under Baby’s head is a good option for catching Baby’s spills & are much easier to wash than changing the whole bed every time Baby dribbles.
You may not have decided if you will sleep your baby in a sleep sack yet, so we recommend purchasing a few cot fitted sheets, rather than full sheet sets, to begin with. Don’t forget, baby can mess sheeting at anytime of day & night so having spare sheeting can reduce stress in the middle of the night.
Don’t go overboard with theme as your newborn baby’s becomes a toddler very quickly & theme preferences change just as quickly. Bring in theme with cost effective items that are affordable & easy to change – ie a bunting, wall decal ( we love lots of the kids decals from The Vinyl Room) & wall art & cushions.
Select your key pieces of furniture (check the Club Furniture for leather pieces). There are great options for drawers, a bed-sider & storage units from Kidzspace, Auckland & the metal beds from Incy Interiors.
Once you have the key elements installed, pause. Stand & look at the room. Does it need a rug to add some softness or colour? Or a canvas for the wall to break the space or create & add theme? Is there somewhere for you to sit to feed baby at night? Is there a softer night light & somewhere to dispose of dirty nappies?
Complete these last few tasks & voila! You have a divine special room for your new wee person.
Now enjoy some sleep & rest before baby comes & all the new delights of a newborn & new life begins.
“Just a quick email to say a BIG thank you for the most beautiful products and amazing service I have recently received via your on-line shop. I have purchased several items before but decided to try your on line shop and wasn’t surprised how amazing it was!!!!!!! Your products are divine – as per usual!!!!! so THANK YOU“
What fun!! You are going to have a new member of your family arrive soon & it is such an exciting time setting up a welcoming special room for them. Boy or girl ? or you don’t know yet?
Setting up a nursery can seem to be daunting, but it shouldn’t be. There are lots of great websites which provide key products that you will need.
From our perspective, we suggest the following simple guidelines :
Set a budget – that you are comfortable with. Then stick to this!!! Be realistic – if this is your last planned baby, don’t go over the top – if it is your first, you may have some big purchases to invest in – bassinets, a cot, changing table.
If you know boy or girl, you may which to direct your colour flavour to suit this. Or remain more gender neutral if the baby’s sex is unknown, but this doesn’t have to mean beige or creams – there are lots of lovely blues & greens that can suit both girls & boys. From PR, your gender neutral options include Evie, Molly sheeting, Tom sheeting, Storm sheeting, Bell blue & Raspberry red.
Once a colour palette has been selected, as ALWAYS suggest selecting your linen first. There are zillions of paint options but only a handful of linen options that are available in cot size & there will be fewer you actually like. So hunt out your comforter & sheeting then charge forth with the rest of the room as this will also determine your rooms key colour.

Wills Star quilt cover, sheeting, cushions & bunting
We get so much feedback on how soft & lovely our throws are, especially from people convinced they didn’t want fleece at all ……. until they feel our coral fleece throws!!! Our fleece throws really have the ‘Mmmmm…mmmmm’ of softness, the ‘must have’ feel for wrapping up on the sofa or bean bag, the ‘I must take to bed’ coziness for night time snuggling. Plus they are a wonderful colour pop!! Match them with other colours you have happening or let them BE the colour.
From a practical aspect ( & we do love to be a little practical as well as pretty ), they wash up like new, staying super soft & no pilling!!! All ages adore our throws – from toddlers to teens to Grans. Two darling ladies in their 60 years + from the Hawkes Bay brought the pink throws for themselves so their husbands wouldn’t use them, only to return to buy 2 more, as the pink colour simply didn’t deter the husbands!! Softness & warmth won over!!
We remain totally besotted with our heavenly fleece throws!
Wills Star bedding continues to be our #1 selling collection for young boys. This design spans ages, time, & cultures with so many delightfully classic elements but has the added advantage of having a large number of fun accessories to match & mould into each & every home. Like any PR linen collection, start with the quilt cover / doona, add a comforter & the pieces you love as you can, to create a super cool & fun boys bedroom.
Traditionally Wills Star tends to soft blues, so we love this brighter combination, for rooms wanting a mid blue, slightly bolder palette.

With the nation now in Level 2, please bear-with as deliveries are taking longer than usual, as the whole country dispatches online orders. We expect deliveries to take 5-6 days longer than normal ( they have been taking up to 2 weeks from dispatch). The courier companies are working tirelessly to clear the huge unexpected backlogs. Please be patient with us and our couriers. Thank you for your understanding.
There are very few retailers that are the whole package – provide an amazingly beautiful store & show room for our linen & interiors, who have believed in PR 110% of the way, who are happy to provide some gentle guidance ( sometimes tear-jerkingly honestly ) if we swerve in the wrong direction but just as happy to pat us on the back when we do something well. And not everyone has a great ear (& eye) & is a kind sounding board like the team at 
it. Thank you PR. I think my kids have the best looking rooms thanks to you 
I am a huge fan; fabulous company!
love Patersonrosel
