It’s cold, it’s dark and it’s that time of year when your sleepover tally heads into overdrive. With this in mind, creating a child’s bedroom that is cosy, welcoming and can accommodate a mini guest or two at the drop of a hat will help you sail through the winter with ease. As a child, there is nothing quite like being invited to stay over at a friend’s home. Eager to discover new experiences and escape the beady eyes of parents for a night, exciting is an understatement! If you happen to be the hostess, it’s important to make your little guests feel safe and comfortable in a bedroom th..

We’ve all been there. It’s Friday night, a couple of school friends have come over for dinner and they’ve all had a fabulous time. Then comes the inevitable question. “Can we have a sleepover!?” (in chorus of course!)

Forget all those TV dramas you were h..

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..

The end of the festivities is something we always dread in our house.

Ah yes, that…   So perhaps it isn’t as tidy as it could be, at least the children’s bedrooms aren’t anyway. But luckily, at Little Lucy Willow, we have storage solutions we..
