Oversized magnetic chalkboards

Set up by another Chiswick mum, Chalky Moon offer a range of black, white and vintage framed chalkboards - ideal for kitchen/dining space for the family.  Wish I'd thought of it.  The simple ideas are the best.

More stylish storage, in a rustic vibe

These gorgeous hand woven baskets from Danish brand Tine K are perfect for all those bits and bobs that are forever getting in the way.  Magazines, books, toys, letters, linens, laundry... you name it, tucked away in these stylish containers, you need never trip over anything again.  At £52 for a set of three they are great value and come in a number of different options - crafted from palm leaves they feature a leather strip at the top, or funky sequin stripes.

Safety conscious and good looking

I love these roller blind cord captures for kids - from newhousetextiles.co.uk.  Great fun, but also really practical - they fix the cord loop to the wall to keep it safe from playful toddlers. In 8 different colourful styles, here are my favourites.
