42 | March 2013 www.womanthismonth.com Home Child’s Play Littering your favourite things across the master bedroom floor is a no-no. On the other hand, you can set your inner child free when decorating the kids’ bedroom. By Elma Bartholomew The children’s den is one place where you can let your creativity run wild, no questions asked. No matter how old they are, you can always find a way to get them involved in the design and décor of their bedrooms. Remember, it is a space with zero limitations. So have some fun while revamping this part of the house. Not everyone is blessed with large houses and most can’t afford to have a play room in addition to a bedroom. It does not mean that your child needs to be deprived of the experience of having a unique personal space. Another important factor while decorating a child’s room is to have a reality check. No matter how much effort and thought you put into creating the perfect look, the customised room is bound to look like the aftermath of a windstorm by the end of the day. Learn to accept that kids will be kids. Those designer catalogues didn’t have any children on site, at least not those that had much to do with the setup. What it takes A clean room is simply a matter of organisation. Make cleaning up exciting and easy with these labelled storage units from Pottery Barn Kids. They can be lined up against a wall or stacked up in shelves. Although items are just thrown in, it gives an illusion of neatness, which is sometimes more than we can ask for. Zara Home Pottery Barn
