When you have children,
you’ll know from an early age that they have their own ideas about
things, and one of the best places for them to stamp their identity
is in their bedroom. Of course, you might have to guide them to
ensure that they make good decisions, but if you can allow them some
influence and choice in how their bedroom looks, they’ll love it
even more.
A child’s room isn’t
just a place to sleep. It’s their own personal kingdom, where they
relax and spend time alone reading books or have their friends to
come and play with them. So it’s great if you can decorate and
furnish it in a way that they will like.
Changing the furniture in
a bedroom can be a costly business though, so if you can pick some
big items of furniture that you don’t need to change each time your
child feels like giving their room a makeover, then so much the
better. There’s a great article where GLTCreviews it's kid's furniture range and there are pieces of
furniture there that are real classics, which would suit a two year
old as much as a 14 year old.
Unless money’s no
object, you’re probably best avoiding novelty beds like racing cars
or fairy castles. These won’t last a child that long and they may
suddenly go off whatever theme you’ve chosen for them and then it’s
going to cost you much more to update their room.
The Emma range at GLTC is
manufactured out of strong beech and MDF, so it’s built to last and
as it’s finished in a chalk white, it will fit in well with any
colour scheme. The furniture in the Emma range is all full-size, so
the bed would be just as suitable for a toddler as for a teen, and
the wardrobe has enough room to cope with a girl’s expanding
collection of clothes as she gets older. The bed in the range can
also have a trundle bed underneath it – which is perfect for those
times that they have a friend to sleep over.
As well as the main pieces
of furniture, it’s the little things that you choose that can
really add personality to a room. These include bedding linen and
accessories like cushions and rugs. Of course, the great thing about
these items is that you can buy the ones you child wants when they’re
two or three, and then change them as their tastes change. They might
go through a pink princess phase and then have a change of heart and
want everything to be in blues and greens, for example.
Children are fickle
creatures and they’re likely to want to change their room around a
few times during their childhood at least. If you’ve got the basics
in place, though, allowing them to change the theme with different
accessories every now and then shouldn’t be too costly.
