Any children's bedroom has a few core pieces of furniture that will last for a number of years - a bed, drawers and wardrobe are the most popular, yet you might want to reinvent your childs bedroom when their tastes or their maturity changes. Pretty pink fairies or racing car cartoons might have been fun for a 6 year old, but a 12 year old might find them embarassing at a sleepover!
We have used our eperience dealing with children's bedrooms as well as feedback from our customers to make this 'top 5' list of small changes you can make to your child's room to reinvent it, without breaking the bank (or replacing that good quality furniture you invested in)!
1 - Fabrics and material - especially useful in girl's bedrooms, a change of curtains or a new rug can really change the feel of a room. Replacing cartoon bedding with a more delicate appliqued duvet set is perhaps the easiest way to treat your child's bedroom to a makeover - and will also have a longer lifetime as they won't want to change it as soon as the cartoon is no longer 'cool'!
2 - Out with the old - Minimise the content of the room to not only create space but also give a more mature feeling to a room. If there is nothing to throw out, organising toys or art supplies into storage boxes with pretty labels can make a room much tidier.
3 - Shine a light - As children start to have a little more pressure at school, a desk is now becoming almost mandatory to any child's bedroom. To make revision a little easier try investing in fun and interesting bedroom lighting options, such as a lamp. Normally the matching ceiling light is also available.
4 - Messy bedroom - messy mind! - A good spring clean will do wonders for any room in the house, not just a child's bedroom but they are even more important here. Not only will they help you reach that last little bit of dust that has been bugging you but it will also help you work through all your child's old toys and books. It's amazing how large your child's bedroom will look afterwards!
5 - A little lick of paint - Ok so this isn't as easy as some of our other top tips but it is amazing what a new paint job can do for your childrens bedroom. As children get older they might start to lose interest in that fuschia pink or pastel blue that seemed like such a good idea when they were younger. A quick coat of white can really open up a bedroom, and when combined with themed bedroom furniture or a racing car bed the bedroom will really transform.
