FUTUREPROOF<br />
FURNISHING<br />
It’s unlikely finger painting is<br />
going to be a bedroom activity<br />
so don’t be afraid to furnish<br />
your child’s bedroom well. This<br />
is where you can plan ahead<br />
in confidence – a desk or a set<br />
of drawers is going to grow<br />
with them. Sneak in a family<br />
heirloom and invest in quality.<br />
WHEN SHADY IS OK<br />
Lighting options provide an opportunity<br />
to inject more character. Today’s night<br />
lights can take the form of anything<br />
from a fantail to a pineapple – so keep<br />
searching till you find what you truly<br />
want. But for those who are more<br />
accustomed to the dark, lamps and<br />
light shades are another area in which<br />
to personalise. Let a love of stars cover<br />
a shade, or a touch of camo light up a<br />
corner.<br />
THIS ISN’T A FAIRYTALE<br />
At the end of the day, be realistic. If you<br />
style this room to within an inch of its<br />
life, all you are doing is setting yourself up<br />
to fail. The pressure of putting everything<br />
back in its ‘place’ will take the play out of<br />
this play room. “Let it go.”
