There are few things more pleasurable than seeing your child’s delighted face on Christmas morning. Reward for all the hard slog you’ve no doubt put in beforehand! Although a time of joy and celebration, Christmas can bring the best of us to our knees. People to see, places to go, presents to organise, finding space for that stockpile of food…the list goes on.  You might think that amongst all this chaos, the last thing you’ll have time for is a festive bedroom makeover.  Think again. Making sure your child has a bedroom filled with Christmas cheer could be the best 30 minutes you’ll ..

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!) You sort of expected this to happen but naively hoped they would think it best not to bother you with such things on a Friday night. And pigs might fly. So after completing all the relevant phone calls and squaring it with your fellow parent, you set about finding that pesky blow up mattress you took camping approximately a year before. Forget all those TV dramas you were h..

A child’s bedroom is usually a messy bedroom. Scattered toys on the floor, clothes strewn anywhere but in the wardrobe and an assortment of random shoes dumped here, there and everywhere – none of which make a pair. To see the bedroom you so lovingly put together turn into a jumbled heap on a daily basis, can be very annoying! You’ve gone from tidying up each day, to simply closing the door instead. Out of sight out of mind. There is another way to deal with your child’s penchant for mess however. Having children’s furniture which contains storage that is easily accessible could make all..

Children are the biggest hoarders of all. Their piles of toys, books and bears grows along with them for those first few years at least. Most of this paraphernalia may lie untouched for months but woe betide the brave warrior who tries to remove any it! Cue plenty of tears.  And don’t even mention the clothes…  So if you can’t sneak out the surplus under the cover of darkness what’s the solution? Maximise your storage of course! At Little Lucy Willow we know just how essential it is to make sure your children’s furniture is practical as well as stunning with great storage options f..

Furnishing a child’s bedroom can be fun and exciting, with so many colours, themes and fabrics to choose from. But unless you have endless pots of money - and time - to continually update the décor and furniture, you may want to think carefully before embarking on a huge ‘princess’ project. As boring as it may sound to your child, it makes financial sense to try and create a room that won’t date too quickly. This doesn’t make your task any easier however. It requires extremely careful planning and coordination to bring all elements of your vision together in an effective and interesting way..

Babies love to sleep. Unfortunately for new mums and dads however, this doesn’t always mean through the night! Thankfully our little ones make up their quota of sleep through much-needed naps – and plenty of them. These regular snippets of sleep are a necessary part of every baby’s routine.  Not only do they provide some essential downtime from all that feeding and wriggling around, they allow a little respite for mums and dads too. So instead of feeling guilty for sneaking in a few afternoon z’s on the sofa, make sure you listen to your body and prioritise napping alongside your chil..

Making beds isn’t difficult. It’s just one more job that needs to be done - and the earlier each day, the better. However, the simplicity of bed making renders it the type of activity that can help promote independence in a child and as such, is often the first ‘chore’ they will learn. The smallest achievements can mean a lot to a child, especially when they come with heaps of praise and a huge sense of pride as a result! Many children savour such attention and will jump at the chance of impressing their parents with a neatly made bed, while others may flatly refuse to have a go. S..

Bedtime. An hour in the evening that is often cherished by parents, thanks to sleepy heads, cosy cuddles and ultimately…. peace! In theory, bedtime should be a lovely, relaxing affair. Bath and bubbles, a story or two then a few minutes to watch your little one drift off into the land of nod.  And pigs might fly I hear you mutter! It’s certainly true that for some parents bedtime is a breeze. For others however, it lingers in the mind all day long in anticipation of a complete and utter disaster – yet again. If you happen to fall into the latter bracket and need a nudge to get thin..

Why is it an issue? A child’s bedroom usually has more clutter, clothes and knick-knacks than any other area of the home. So much so, it can often look like the local car boot sale has taken up residence. It’s so easy to close the door on such chaos and hope that the cleaning fairy will wave her magic wand in your absence. 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..
