The Surf Room
At grandma’s house
A little seaside feeling, whatever the weather. Waves, seagulls, a surfboard mirror and small treasures bring the beach indoors.

Seasonal kids’ room makeovers by Gosia.
One little boy, two rooms. Never beige.
A little home for our ever-changing rooms.

I’m the mama behind new.home.again. I change my little boy’s two rooms with the seasons, with handmade finds, a little DIY and rather a lot of cushions.
Some things stay. Some things move. There’s always a new reason to make it feel like home again.
One at home, one at grandma’s.
Both filled with the things he loves.

In our rented home
A room for everything he loves. Mustard curtains, a wooden ladder, little cars and a castle, with plenty of space for the next big idea.
Seasonal decorating starts with the small things.
A new cushion, a paper leaf, a reason to smile.

A few flowers. A few feathered friends. Suddenly, spring.

Seaside colours and sunny corners, all year if you like.

Warm colours, falling leaves and that little October glow.

A few spooky touches. A whole lot of imagination.

Gingerbread cushions. Red bows. Minimalist, obviously.

The little details that make their day feel like theirs.
Small DIYs, stop-motion and the bits
that don’t quite go to plan.

Small DIY, big bat energy.

One mama. A mini candy factory.

There’s always room. Probably.

A small world, beautifully made.
Behind our favourite details are people making lovely things. Here are a few who have found a place in his room.


Little wooden worlds, from castles to car parks.
Parking garage gifted by the brand.

Custom little details that make a room his own.
Custom plexi and plywood decorations gifted by the makers.


No rules for the perfect room.
Just a few things I’ve learnt along the way.
Keep the big pieces and change the little things: cushion covers, bedding, a paper garland or a favourite print. Bring last year’s decorations back in a new combination, and make a few things together.
Start with something your child loves. Mustard, sea blue, deep teal and a little red can all live happily together. Repeat a few colours across the bedding, art and small details to make the mix feel connected.
The makers below are a lovely place to start. I credit the people behind the pieces in my Instagram captions, and say when something was gifted. Some favourites are bought, some are gifts, and some are made at home.
Bedding, cushions, rugs and freestanding pieces can change the feeling of a room without a big renovation. Check with your landlord before painting, drilling or using adhesive decorations.

I love working with small makers and brands whose pieces I’d put in his room. Seasonal makeovers, stop-motion Reels and honest features.
A room question, a little idea, or something you’ve made? I’d love to hear from you.
