Hints & Tips

Tackling children’s rooms and nurseries should be fun. Here are Freckles top hints and tips for decorating your children's bedroom or baby's nursery. These include advice on:

1. Decorating:

• Decals are a wonderful way to decorate bare walls and windows. These come in many different designs, from flowers and fairy gardens to cars and animals. They can be easily removed once your child has out-grown that particular theme.
• Accent borders can be used to decorate furniture pieces.
• Paint a feature wall.
• Children love to see how much they have grown, so a great way to use empty wall space is to add a height chart. Take a photo at each stage to attach to each milestone. 
• Paint a blackboard on a section of wall. This will inspire hours of creative artwork to be admired by all. 

2. Accessorising:

• Layering bedlinen gives the bed a cosy, warm and inviting look.
• Clever accessorising of lights adds a magical ambience to any bedroom.
• Wicker baskets and storage units provide great options for storing toys and precious projects and, best of all, takes the clutter off the floor.
• Use bed linen as the key focus for the bedroom and take your cues from its design and colour palette
• White furniture is always super-functional.
• A canopy over a bed makes every princess' dream come true. Alternatively, hang the canopy in a corner with floor cushions and this becomes a magical play area.
• A table and chair set is an ideal way to introduce activities.
• Table lamps, tab curtains, rugs and cushions will bring a whole story together and give any bedroom the 'Wow' factor. 

These clever tricks will help take the dread out of decorating your child's room forever. You may even find your friends want you to help them with their kids' rooms next!
