As the children have grown older, they have expressed increased desire to be more individual, from how they dress to what they eat, and also to how they should decorate their room.

From the moment when they moved into their own rooms, we have been changing their decor incrementally from adorning the walls with wall stickers, photos, pictures, wallpaper, changing the blinds, etc. The centrepiece of any bedroom has to be the bed though and their current beds are adult double beds which we bought on sale at the time as it worked out cheaper than the children’s single beds we had our eye on. They have had these beds since coming out of their cots so it may be time to look for new beds to continually adapt their room to their preferences.
