Once children grow up their bedroom needs to grow up a little, too. Children will develop many varied interests over the coming years, which often results in a room bursting with toys, books, clothes, sports equipment, hobbies, music and so on. Room makeovers need not be something to dread. Ask your child to get involved, if you make it fun they will be happy to help out. A quick hint - for decorating walls use wall decals rather than wallpaper. They're fun and easy to use and inexpensive too.
Here are our top tips for easy expansion.
Start with practical storage and an organised space. Have a good clearout of anything they have grown out of – this includes clothes, toys and books – and start with an empty room. This makes easier and gives you the space to think clearly.
Do they need more shelving or covered storage? Does the existing furniture meet the needs of your child? Do they need a bigger bed or a desk for schoolwork? You may not have needed a wardrobe until now, but would a canvas clothes rail come in handy? And what about a spare bed for friends to sleep over? It doesn't need to be an expensive purchase - think about a pullout chair bed or inflatable bed that can be stowed away when not in use.
