We recently added a super cute NAME IT print to Indi’s room. Designed in Melbourne by Kate Korber (the creative behind ‘Happy Ella After’), these gorgeous prints not only look amazing but they can help children to learn one of the many important literacy skills required in the early years of schooling – name recognition.
With so many styles to choose from, you are bound to find something to compliment your child’s existing decor.
We opted opted for the cute trilogy of kawaii style ice-cream cones to match the fun sweet summery feel that has been created in Indi (and Ocea’s) room.
To help Indi learn to recognise her name we play a little game to see is if she can find her name in her room (nope, that’s a unicorn Indi).
When she finds her name I tell her the individual letters (and the sounds) she has in her name.
Please note, I would never expect Indi to know this but there is no harm in talking about the letters and sounds in her name from an early age.
She also has a personalised pillow and blocks that she plays with to help reinforce name recognition in an informal play based way.
Below is an example of how incredible these prints can look for boys. This room is one of my favourite boy’s room on Instagram by the talented @ejaeandmase featuring two of HappyEllaAfter’s NAME IT prints.
Eleashah of @ejaeandmase has created the perfect example of how to immerse your child in a print rich environment. I could do a whole other blog post on this and how you can utilise these decor items to support and develop other important literacy skills in children.
There is a wonderful selection of personalised prints in the NAME IT range. You can check them out yourself by clicking on the link below and help your little one on their journey of learning, happily ever after…
Thanks for stopping by,

Just wondering where these gorg chairs are from in Miss Indi’s room?
The baby bertoias were from a store called ‘Sokol furniture’ in Melbourne Australia. They are almost 8 years old now though, but still going strong. Love your taste in chairs! X
Love your style! Can you tell me where that cute teal circle shelf is from?
Hi Heather, it was a simple kmart hack a few years ago X
I love the yummy vanilla ice cream look of the walls! Can you tell me what paint color it is?
Hi! The wall paint colour was called ‘Antique White USA’ by Dulux x
please can you tell me where that spot wallpaper is from? it is exactly what I am looking for xx
Hi Holly, thanks so much for asking, they are actually decals (wall stickers) from ‘vivid wall decals’. Excellent quality – some of the best I have ever used X
Where did you get the cute polka dot wallpaper? LOVE! Thanks!
Hi Jen, the ‘wallpaper’ is actually decals/wall stickers by vivid wall decals. They made the biggest difference to the overall look and feel of the room. X
Love the room! Can you tell me which dots they are on vivid wall decals? Are they the confetti dots? Also, the blue wall. How did you get it that way? What’s the steps with the undertone blue stripes and what paint colors are they?
Hi Kimberly,
The dots were the pink, gold and mint blue ones (from memory) I had three different sets. Also, the blue wall was painted by hand. I can’t remember the paint colours as I painted that wall about eight years ago. To paint the lines I used chalk and a spirit level to lightly mark in the lines first, then painted it. It took a little while but the result was really effective. Thanks so much fort checking out my blog. Good luck with your room you are doing! X
Hi

Hi Shanna,
the one with the ‘names’ on it is in the b,log post at the end, ‘name it prints’ but the other ice-cream prints above my daughters bed were from design design – she has some really beautiful prints with a vintage feel. You will love them! X
Hello! where is the teal stripe wallpaper from??
Oops nvm I just saw that you painted it! Love the room!
lol, thanks for asking anyway Patricia. The wall looked really effective and wasn’t that hard to do if you have a steady hand. Enjoy your day! X
I am wondering where you got the rug from?
Hi Brie, this rug was from Target Australia – a few years ago now though XX
Where did you find that rug??
Hi Brie, I hope I’m not double replying here but I can’t see my last response, the rug was from target, just a cheap one but great for a kids room X

Hi Anna, the rug was from Target Australia xx
Where is the comforter from?
Hi Lizzie, it was from a store called adairs – http://www.adairs.com.au X
Hi,
I found your pictures on Pinterest and saw the spots are decals. I’m in the UK and I am looking at trying to do something similar to this in my daughters room.
Can I please ask how you applied them so evenly spaced? I’m a little OCD and I know if I can not get them all evenly spaced I’ll take them down.
Fingers crossed I can find a UK supplier now x
Hi Jane – sorry for the late reply (I hadn’t logged onto my blog for a while) – hopefully the decals went well. I just used a square piece of paper as a template xx
