Decorating your children's bedroom

Getting the balance right in your children's bedroom is a constant battle. From a nursery, to a playroom to a homework site, to a controlled, or uncontrolled symbol of teenage self expression.

Whilst it’s important to allow for that personal space, personal responsibility and expression of self. It’s also important that it remains practical, and under a semblance of control, hopefully one that complements the entire home.

To help create a functional, yet personalised, bedroom that your child will love. Join forces with your children and help create a framework for their self expression to grow in a practical way.

We all remember the childhood battles of our bedroom, our fortress, our retreat. The place we play, or are confined to.

Focus on the Fundamentals in your Children's Bedroom...

The constant struggles between being reminded to conform our room to a household standard, whilst the desire to create our own space.

The most important thing to get right, is to introduce plenty of storage options, it’s hard to keep a room tidy if space for tidying is limited.

Furthermore, an abundance of storage solutions make it easy to keep clothes in order, and toys tucked away, a well spaced bookcase can house a small library and display your children’s personality.

Now that you've got the fundamental features of your children's bedroom out of the way, let your child join in the creative finishes. Considering they'll spend so much time in there, it's imperative they love it. Encouraging them to tailor in personal touches to their space. Such as by showing off their hobbies and interests, allowing experimentation with personality, whilst staying within a functional framework.
