Elluxco Bebe has redefined spaces for the most cherished members of the family, children.
In the world of interior design, adaptability and innovation are key to meeting the ever-changing demands of clients. A local business, Elluxco, known for its expertise in designing and installing kitchens and built-in cupboards, embarked on a new journey when the demand for custom kids’ bunk beds and playrooms surged. This led to the birth of Elluxco Bebe, a branch specialising in creating imaginative and practical spaces for children.
The unveiling of this exciting addition took place at the ECR House + Garden Show, marking a significant step forward. The magic of childhood lies in boundless imagination, and that philosophy guides Elluxco Bebe. “| always like to use one inspirational image or idea from the client and a description of their child’s personality, preferences and characteristics, then I build from there,” owner Lomea explains. The designs not only reflect the child’s uniqueness but also offer simplicity and practicality. The goal is to create spaces that are significant to the child’s world.
“At the ECR House + Garden Show, people asked us a recurring question: ‘Can this be done for adults, too?’ This made me laugh and is a testament to the allure of our designs. I contemplated – why not?” Lomea adds. This underscores a deeper truth – children often have a clearer vision of what they desire compared to adults.
In a world where trends come and go, Elluxco Bebe opts for timeless designs that transcend fleeting themes. The team recognises that children’s preferences evolve rapidly, and what is adored today might not be tomorrow. “To strike a balance, we keep the design neutral but include captivating wallpapers, neon LED lights, and personalised elements,” Lomea says. By focusing on adaptable decor pieces, such as scatter cushions and wall art, they ensure that the heart of the design remains youthful.
Elluxco Bebe’s essence is creating spaces that mirror each child’s personality. “I love to have a chat with the child to get a good idea of what they like and don’t like. They usually have a wild imagination and the sky’s the limit for our special little humans, so I have to sometimes think out of the box a bit,” Lomea adds. This personalised touch ensures that the space resonates authentically with the child’s character.
In the realm of design, aesthetics often reign supreme, but Elluxco Bebe adds another layer of safety.
Collaborating with an engineer for design approval before manufacturing showcases their commitment to designing spaces that are not only beautiful and functional but also secure. This trio of aesthetics, functionality and safety ensures that each creation is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship.
As any parent knows, kids’ fondness for play comes hand in hand with a multitude of toys. Encouraging play while instilling a sense of organisation is a challenge Elluxco Bebe embraces. The clever incorporation of storage drawers beneath bunk beds and integrated within staircases and platforms illustrates the seamless synergy between play and tidiness. This approach ensures that kids can enjoy their areas to the fullest while also learning the value of orderliness.
Elluxco Bebe’s designs embody not just the present, but also the future. A dressing table’s transformation into a desk showcases the team’s knack for crafting multifunctional pieces. The goal is to curate spaces that cater to evolving needs, reducing the need for constant redesigns while enhancing functionality. “The age of the child is a big one here, as it needs to be age-appropriate and last at least for the next five-plus years,” Lomea says.
Moreover, Elluxco considers the overall aesthetic of the home and the potential longevity of themes. By harmonising these elements, the creations are not fleeting designs, but enduring pieces that grow with the child. Elluxco Bebe’s creativity extends beyond bunk beds to encompass a wide range of custom designs. As a testament to their commitment to innovation, they even create custom-designed kids’ wallpapers that perfectly complement the overall design scheme.
From the whimsical to the practical, Elluxco Bebe has truly created a world where kids’ dreams intertwine with functionality. As the brand looks to the future, its upcoming furniture shop holds the promise of even more imaginative designs that will continue to shape the landscape of children’s spaces.
