Making a child's bedroom is a totally different ball game to making an adult's bedroom. While you may appreciate a calming decor and sleek furnishings, they’ll appreciate something different. A kid’s bedroom should be warm, welcoming and of course, fun. They won’t be kids for long, and it's your job to make sure they make the most of these years.
So, where to begin? Here is a guide to making a gorgeous bedroom for your kids.

A Unique Centerpiece
What is the centerpiece in a bedroom? The bed, of course!That plain white or brown thing you’ve been considering just won’t do. Why not go for a uniquely designed bed instead? For kids who love buses, or trucks, or planes, how about a bed designed to look like one? Or make a little girl who loves playing princesses really feel like one with a princess bed? Bunk beds are another great option. They add an element of excitement for the kids. However, they also benefit you, because they save on space! For a unique bed, browse online at places like cuckooland.com.

Because Oriental and Persian rugs are typically made of natural materials that require specialized care, we always encourage anyone who owns a handmade carpet to have it professionally cleaned annually at a minimum.

Your home should showcase your personality and style. It’s often helpful to look at magazines for inspiration. But you should never choose trends, which don’t suit your individual tastes. If you’re planning a spring/summer makeover, here are some tips to help you put your stamp on your interior designs.

Jot down your ideas
Lightning bolts of inspiration can come to us at any time, and it’s a good idea to keep track of ideas and nuggets of creativity. Write down some ideas in a notebook and then create a mood board of all the accessories, colors and themes you like. Look through magazines and blogs to get suggestions, and make a list of stockists and designers.

Get personal
Personalization is a fantastic way to make your house a home and create unique design touches. Use framed posters and prints or create a statement wall with family photographs. Inject some personality to plain walls with customized wall stickers. Decorate sofas with initialed cushions and cozy blankets and throws.
