The House of Colour has landed and it’s a bold, joy-filled ode to summer living. Think sunshine-drenched hues, vibrant prints, and pieces that turn everyday moments into something a little more magic. From buttery tones and coral pops to playful patterns that practically radiate good vibes, this collection is all about living colourfully (and comfortably) this season.
To celebrate, we caught up with Kip&Co co-founder Alex McCabe for her take on summer style, must-have buys, and the prints she’s loving right now. From sleepwear that feels like a cool hug to the perfect weekend duffle, Alex shares her insider tips for creating a home that’s equal parts fun and functional — and a summer that feels like pure sunshine.
What’s your favourite sleepwear piece for relaxing after a busy day?
Eco Satin Cami in Hibiscus, hands down. It’s like slipping into a cool hug, feels luxe but low-key comfy. Totally obsessed.
Which Leisure product will you be shopping for your home?
Those recycled P.E.T. outdoor cushions are calling my name! Perfect for the kids to lounge on outside, plus they’re water-resistant and come in the cutest colours. Win-win!
What is your favourite piece from the collection and why?
The Cherry On Top glassware is in my cart! Every sip feels like a little celebration. We love to host our friends and family so these will get a workout as soon as the sun decides to pop its head out!
What’s the must-have element to make a kids’ room both fun and functional?
Playful kid bedding is a no-brainer, they love to snuggle up in dreamy fabrics. Throw in a bean bag or a colourful block lamp for good measure, and you’ve got a kid and parent-approved pad!
If you had to pick one Leisure piece to take on a weekend getaway, what would it be?
I think a trusty duffle bag for each of the girls and Bobby. We use them ALL THE TIME, sometimes they are filled with toys for the girls, but just as often they’re the perfect carry-on bag for a quick weekend away.
What is your favourite print from the collection and why?
Casablanca all the way! It’s got those vibrant Moroccan vibes with the palette, and when you add a pop of colour it feels like a mini vacay every day.
What’s your must-have colour combo for kids’ rooms this season?
I’ve checked in with the bosses and they agree, pink and orange this season please! It’s fun, fresh, and mirrors the summer energy my little pocket rockets bring.
Cocktail you’ll be sipping all summer?
Something fresh and zesty like a margarita. Cheers to that!
