Something different for your childs wall

Of course we are always interested in new trends and ideas in not only childrens bedroom furniture but also childrens bedroom decoration. Choosing a theme for a childs bedroom is not as easy as picking whatever their favourite cartoon character might be at the time - this changes too often and may mean you have to redecorate a few months down the line.

Picking a theme that is a little more neutral and that can grow with your child, will not only save you the redecorating time but will also save you money!

We came across these great wall stickers that a customer was using with our Adventurer boys bedroom furniture to make a funky jungle themed room.

When your child naturally outgrows the theme of the stickers, you can just peel them off and choose something else (or even leave the walls blank).

What colour for your childrens bed?

The market for childrens beds today is vast, offering beds in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colours. A child's dreams for their bedroom can be realised whether they long for a thunderbirds bed or an ultimate sports car childrens bed with working headlights. As with all furniture, quality as well as price must be considered - but with a childrens bed, the colour is more important than normal.

White bedroom furniture is an obvious choice, and allows for a greater stretch for a more creative decorator. Matching accessories and other pieces of kids bedroom furniture is also a lot easier when it comes to white. But this is childrens bedroom furniture that we're talking about, and so a little bit of fun and colour can never be underestimated. A themed childs bedroom can make bedtime seem more exciting (and maybe even a little easier for parents of more nocturnal children). Consider adding just one piece of themed/coloured bedroom furniture into your childs bedroom for a touch of fun - something that works especially well in smaller childrens bedrooms.

Make your childs bedroom their own!

A child spend a lot of time in their bedroom - whether that be sleeping or playing, especially in a larger family their bedroom can be the only place that they really feel is their own. If this is the case for your child then why not make it something really special, and really personalised to them. Here's some quick and easy (and cheap) ways to make your child feel that their bedroom is their space to grow, develop and be themselves (without eye sore posters of their latest favourite pop star)!

1 - Fabrics! Not exclusive to a girls bedroom, fabrics can also be used in boys bedrooms with fantastic effects. Other then the obvious curtains and carpets, consider adding a bed canopy over your childs bed, it doubles as a play tent and comforter if they are having trouble sleeping too. A rug can really change the feel of a space - especially when the rug is larger than normal (this also makes the effect stronger when you need to redesign later on).

2 - Storage. Any childs bedroom could always benefit from additional storage, in many cases simply adding an extra chest of drawers or slotting in a slim line bookcase into an otherwise unused space can really help clear some play space. By letting your child choose the one that they like best, they will feel more in control and confident in their decision making. Along with the classic white options there are also some funky themed bookcases that could fit into almost any childs bedroom. Like this one here

Easter spring clean!

The extra couple of days this weekend really make it the ideal time to have a spring clean through your childs bedroom. It's amazing what you might find under your childs bed - maybe even a lost easter egg or two from last year!

A fresh childrens bedroom can really get a fresh feeling of spring back into your home. White bedroom furniture is ideal for a childs bedroom especially during a spring freshen as it really adds a sense of light, fresh and clean. Themed kids bedroom furniture can be combined with white bedroom furniture to add a touch of personality to what can sometimes be a very light and non-descript room.
