Nice but not necessary in your children’s bedroom

Several things are nice to have in a child’s bedroom but aren’t absolute

musts.

Clutter tends to be a bit stressful and has a tendency to become

disordered, so maybe having all of them isn’t the best idea!

A night light for children who are unsettled by the dark.

Potplants of the more robust type to bring nature indoors and help

enhance the air quality.

A spider plant in a hanging basket is a good choice, as these are out of

reach. Avoid anything poisonous or prickly, unless it’s well and truly out

of reach.

>Mosquito nets and canopies above the bed. >Pictures on the walls. >Extra throw cushions for sitting up in bed and pillow fighting.

>Desk or table with a chair of the right height for doing painting and projects on. >A CD and radio for playing soothing music at night and bouncy dance music through the day.

>A clock – and help children learn a few basics about reading it so they know when they should (and shouldn’t) get out of bed.
