Corner Wardrobe

When floor space is limited and storage capacity cannot be compromised, a practical solution is needed. Corner wardrobes are the most sensible choices in such circumstances.

The storage offered includes almost always a pair of shelving rack at each side that form numerous medium-sized compartments, usually some drawers are also featured and the centre has a common hanging rod in a massive space the dimensions of which are exceptionally generous.

Desk

An essential but often neglected part of a child’s room is a desk. No matter how young or old your child is, it can be immensely helpful to have a personalized area to do the homework, use the computer or read books.

How do they usually do their homework? Are they an avid reader, or someone who likes to make drawings? In all these cases, the potential desk will need a specific set of features. If there is a computer involved, a sliding keyboard tray is important. Similarly, a desk with a shelf to keep the CPU, speakers and a mouse, unless it’s a laptop. It’s always a good idea if the furniture has a cable management system to prevent the electrical wires from tangling up. Drawers with locks will provide your child a sense of security and allow them to store their saved money or most-needed items such as a watch.

Handy Tips

1. Think about what your children are going to use the bedroom for. For example, if it’s for sleeping only, emphasis should be placed on the bed and transforming the room into a peaceful, relaxing area. If on the other hand they are avid readers or video gamers, be sure to incorporate a desk, good lighting and a comfortable place to sit too.
2. Always remember that quality and comfort should come before everything else. This applies regardless of where, what and for whom you are buying the furniture for.
3. Choose your furniture in a material, finish and colour that will complement your desired overall look. Harmony between the colours, design and style of the furniture is important. You don’t want to mix colours that do not go well together, or something that your child may not like or be afraid of.
4. The size and shape of your room can also have an impact on the pieces you choose. If your room is small, the use of mirrors and light colours is a great way to create an element of space and light. However, if your children are too young and playful, avoid furnishing the room with delicate furniture.
5. Storage is an extremely important factor to consider when choosing your furniture. The more stuff your children have, for example toys, board games, multimedia accessories and etc., the more space they will need to store it. Chests, drawers and wardrobes come in various sizes and can help keep your little one’s room tidy and clutter free.
