Category Archives: FAMILY MODERN DESIGN BLOG

Welcome to my blog, I decided to set myself a challenge to create a design blog and search site, seeking interesting and fun products to brighten up interior spaces for all the family to enjoy. I have a background in marketing and design and have always been passionate for design classic furniture, even from an early age my father taught me how to spot an authentic Eames chair! I love learning about the history of a product and the processes a designer goes through to achieve the end result. I live with my design buff husband and our little artist in the making, inquisitive toddler Ben. In this blog, you can read about creative craft ideas for kids, product reviews, family interior design ideas, home made creations to places of interest my family and I have visited.

If you would like me to review a product please contact me at: kidsmoderndesignathotmail.co.uk Feel free to have a perusal, I hope you enjoy it! Anna Sloan
