5 tips to helping achieve the perfect child's room!

Here are a few tips to help create a fun and functional space for your child!

Start with a bare room, the way an artist would with a blank canvas. It’s the perfect backdrop to create your stylised space!

Firstly, you need to decide on a colour theme. If you’re stuck for ideas, visit the Adairs website and let our boys and girls bedding and quilt designs inspire you.

Once you have decided on a style you like, let the colours in the bed linen design inspire the bedroom space. To really bring a room to life, our secret tip is to ACCESSORISE! Create an inviting and playful space for your child using comfy cushions and cosy throws. If you don’t have carpet, the throw can double as a soft place for your child to play.

Wall decals and pictures can bring bare walls to life and make a bold statement as they complement the overall bedroom.

Lastly, a lamp in a colour they love will help illuminate the room!

Just as fashion changes, so do your child’s tastes as they get older – you will need to update their bed linen as they grow. At Adairs we have bedding designs to suit all ages from cot to kids to teens and adults! Feel inspired and come into Adairs or visit our website to let us help you create the perfect bedroom – for kids of all ages! http://www.adairs.com.au/adairs-kids

Comfy, clean, and colourful is perfect.

A perfect room is whatever the child is comfy in, which in our case includes organised chaos!

Kids don’t need a perfect look. They need comfort and room to play.

Why do we need to concentrate on setting up the perfect look for your kids rooms? As long as they’re clean, reasonably tidy, have a warm comfy bed with lots of room to play. What more do kids need?!

I think the next addition in the grandkids’ room will be reading lights now that all the other re-modelling has been finished.

Sometimes i wish i had my children over again so I could have Desperate Housewife type perfect looking rooms but then again I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on things that I figured noone else was going to be seeing.

I liked to have everything matching and of course it has to be themed, we’ve had many themes over the years.
