little girls love pretty things, but, thanks to a great range of nursery designs available today, you don’t have to go for the traditional ‘flowery’ look. Instead, give your little a princess’ nursery a fresh, contemporary look by opting for crisp, fondant colours such as pale pink or mint green. Alternatively, an all-white room will provide the perfect backdrop for you to go wild with colourful accessories.
Boys’ rooms While nothing is set in stone, it’s a general rule of thumb that boys like to have their rooms fuss free. Just make sure that you opt for surfaces such as
rubber or wood so that they can’t do too much damage while they’re playing! Empty floor space will provide them with plenty of room to play with friends, while a wall-mounted lamp may be a better idea than an easily-broken bedside version. Storage is always an issue for kids’ toys but you’ll
find that nursery stores now offer fabulous ranges of practical, colourful storage boxes, which can be strategically kept in the nursery to save space downstairs in the living area. You may also decide to opt for one of the very popular bunk bed ranges, which provide desk space or toy storage space underneath. Ingenious and very practical – and what child doesn’t love climbing a ladder to get into bed?
Themed rooms Themed bedrooms have become increasingly popular as the range of children’s bedroom furniture has widely expanded over the last few years. Paintwork is particularly important for this type of room, so, if you’re not artistic, bring a professional in to create fantastic murals on the walls. If your little girl wants to be a princess, then why
not opt for a four-poster bed, with princess character bed linen and themed accessories? For little boys, there are now a great selection of
themed beds, such as tractors, cars and pirate ships. Again, paintwork is very important in completing a themed room. If you’re going for a train-themed room, for example, then you can paint railway lines onto the top of a dresser or chest of drawers, while wooden drawer handles can be painted to look like wheels.
