Stood at the school gate, kids football club or gymnastics centre with parents, carers and grandparents galore, they will tell you thsat bedroom storage is an absolute essential for a child now.

Transitioning to a teenage bedroom

Styling a functional yet stylish teenage bedroom can be complex as you still want to make practical use of the space available. Transitioning from childhood bedrooms to something that they can use and enjoy is a difficult decision and not something that can be taken likely. Making a functional space that will last them throughout their teenage years is achievable.     Stylish Day bed Day beds aren’t simply reserved for guest beds, they often make a great addition to a teenage bedroom. The design of a day bed looks more mature than a simple single bed in their bedrooms and helps to create a more grownup space. Day beds can look far from a bed if you style it right with luxurious cushions and throws. You can make it look warm and cosy with rich tones and range of soft throws ready for you to cuddle up on or you can style it up with light and bright linens to give it a soft and airy feel.   Plus, a day bed provides lots of additional seating when your teenager invites their friends around and keeps them out of your living room. A few simple changes can completely change the look of the daybed and the...

Celebrating Sleep – National bed month

National Bed Month, what an absolute dream! A whole month dedicated to fun and exciting bed designs, super comfy mattresses and most importantly sleep, we can't imagine anything better! Organised by UK Sleep Council, the month aims to remind us all of why a sound sleep is good for our health and raise the importance of something many of us take for granted. A good night’s sleep can make you happier, healthier and motivated for the day ahead and that is exactly the same for your child.  In a groundbreaking study it found that switching an uncomfortable old bed to a lovely new bed meant an extra 42 minutes of sleep, which we find pretty incredible! Making sure you’ve got the right bed for your child could be the one thing that gets them to sleep through the night without waking up. Investing in a quality bed or mattress might just help you stay sane thanks to a good night's rest and recovery!    Step 1: Choosing the perfect bed Your number 1 priority when making sure you’re kids get a great night's rest should be the bed and the mattress. If it is uncomfy, lacks support or isn’t right for the room, then chances are your...
