Home improvements: Bright ideas for children’s bedrooms

It’s back-to-school season, and there’s no reason why you shouldn’t brighten up your children’s rooms and add a little creativity to these fun spaces.

The easiest way to redecorate your child’s room is to inject some colour with paint. Painting even one wall in a room can dramatically alter its appearance.

Colour can also be reflected in curtains, bedding, floor coverings, pictures on the wall and in other accessories within the room.

Your child’s toys can also be used. Toys are typically brightly coloured and ­visually interesting, so don’t hesitate to use them as design features. Adding pillows and poufs from brands such as Woouf! will introduce a further splash of colour. The company has a wide selection of colourful and child-­friendly pieces, which are available at Cities.

I personally love playing with lighting, for example the Gummy Bear night light from FCTRY. They come in several different colours and are playful but also extremely ­practical.
