Step into spring with stunning children’s furniture

We know that children’s furniture should last for more than just one season. In fact, it should last for many years if you choose your collection wisely. The trick is to find something that will stay looking fresh and ‘spring like’ whatever the weather outside!

So if you are thinking of giving your child’s bedroom a makeover this season, here are some ideas to help you create something that will last long into summer, autumn, winter and many more springs to come…

 

 

Colour

Colour is key to creating an inviting child’s bedroom where your little one feels happy to play, work and most importantly sleep. 

Children often find it hard to articulate feeling uncomfortable in a certain place and will just use avoidance tactics if it doesn’t measure up to their standards! With this in mind it pays to find out what colours they would like to see adorn their own walls. No doubt this will involve something alien to your own tastes so try to reach a sensible compromise!

Neutral shades are ideal in creating a blank canvas upon which your child can splash their favourite colours of the moment using fabrics, wall art and soft furnishings.

Pastels and neutrals such as stone, greys, and multiple shades of white will add warmth to any space. Contrast with bolder colours on a feature wall if needs be, especially if the room is on the larger side.

 

 

Children's furniture 

There is no end to the design and variation of children’s bedroom furniture available but there aren’t that many companies whose collections are durable and hardwearing enough to withstand years of use.

Make sure you look past the aesthetics before making a purchase. Check each piece conforms to safety standards and is well made. 

When looking out for children’s furniture to invest in, go for something as timeless as possible. Look for clean lines and unfussy design. If you don’t want something too plain, opt for detail that will transcend fashions or fads.

Finally, consider a double bed if you have the space and your budget allows. You will no doubt reap the rewards for this in years to come!

 

Children's bedroom accessories

It’s often the finishing touches that tend to make a room. Bedding, wall art and lighting are all crucial in completing the puzzle that will be your child’s perfect hideaway.

Here’s where their input comes to the fore, where their creative juices can be let loose, in the form of colours, shapes, patterns and fabrics.

Work out a colour scheme and start your search. Remember, bedding doesn’t have to mean just a duvet cover and pillow case either. Think throws, quilts, cushions and lots of them! Dressing the bed is the fun part, creating a sleeping haven that is cosy and comfortable. Look out for soft, luxurious fabrics and patterns that complement rather than clash.

 

 

Wall art

If there is plenty of wall space in your child’s bedroom, don’t be shy about filling it with stimulating displays of colour or light. Light up wall art is a great way to add interest while  providing comfort before bedtime as well. The tiny bulbs behind the canvas turn off automatically two hours after being switched on and will light up each evening at the same time.

There are plenty of designs and themes to choose from to complement your child’s tastes.

Mirrors are also a fantastic way of refreshing a room by letting light flood in while creating a focal point too.
