No one likes packing up Christmas for another year. Taking down decorations, hoovering up thousands of pine needles and attempting to cram reams of fairy lights back into their original boxes “Surely they didn’t come in those?”... After you’ve put away the hoover and settled down with a well-deserved cuppa, the house looks so bare you fear someone has stolen your furniture. However, rather than lament the end of the holiday season, think of it as the perfect opportunity to freshen up your home instead – not least your child’s bedroom.         Out with the old!

Why is it an issue? A child’s bedroom usually has more clutter, clothes and knick-knacks than any other area of the home.

However, seeing as that isn’t likely to happen any time soon, perhaps it might be wise to look at how you can maximise space and storage in your child’s bedroom instead!     How much space do you have? The size and shape of your available space is key to d..
