Children are busy little creatures who often respond well to a little structure when it comes to activities. So why not give your child a helping hand by creating functional spaces in their very own bedroom?
Zoning is a way of ensuring that no space is wasted and also helps hone your child’s organisational skills. But the best bit? You don’t need oodles of space to do it!

What could be better than settling into a beautifully made bed, nestling in for the night between super soft sheets? As adults, we love such luxuries especially as they help us get the restful sleep we need.
With this in mind, perhaps we should be thinking along the same lines when it comes to what we put on our children’s beds too. We don’t mean silk sheets and gilded four posters, just simple, good quality children’s bedding. Afterall, a good night’s sleep is the ultimate aim and every little helps.
From single and double duvet sets to luxurious mattresses and quilts, there are plenty..
School holidays are upon us which means it’s time to start planning some quality entertainment for the long – and with any luck, hot - weeks ahead. This isn’t an easy thing to do for working mums of course, but if you have managed to get a few days off we can help you make the most of them.

Children’s bedroom furniture may often seem like an afterthought when redecorating the home. A simple enough task and one that won’t need much discussion. However, it’s worth considering that your child’s room is probably the most used room in the home. It’s a place where toys are stored and friends hang out, not to mention the small matter of sleep.
Making sure your child’s bedroom is well equipped with the right furniture to ensure comfort in work and play is in everybody’s interests!
A sturdy bed and spacious wardrobe or chest of drawers cover sleep and storage. If you have enough sp..
A child’s bedroom will never stay the same for too long. There’s always a new colour or pattern on the horizon to keep you on your decorator’s toes, not least if your child is hell bent on sticking to the next big thing…
One way to avoid such frequent spending is to create something a little off the wall perhaps, that neither adheres to a girl’s or boy’s world but sits right in the middle of all trends.
