Kids change and grow very quickly, and so do their needs, but you can create kids rooms that grow with them.

For little kids, choose cots which can convert into junior beds, extendable beds, and baby change tables that convert into chests of drawers. These will last for many years and save you heaps of money.

Also select versatile storage systems that can grow as needs change. Keep storage accessible, like treasure chests and low shelving to encourage the kids to put their own toys and games away. Fun hanging storage adds colour, and wall shelves are ideal for photos and small toys.

For older kids, bunk or loft beds create extra space. And let them choose their own wall colours and textiles, like inexpensive bed linen, cushions and rugs which can easily be updated when they want a new look
