Kids'' beds ''look great in a fantasy theme''
11/05/2010
Parents looking to jazz up the look of their kids'' beds and the surrounding room should take a leaf out of their children''s books and let their imaginations run wild.
That is the opinion of Devaki Bhattathiripad, who in a recent piece in One India said that a fantasy theme is a great way to personalise a kid''s bedroom, as long as the design is kept flexible.
Of course, boys like knights and spacemen while girls prefer fairy tales and princesses, but it helps to bear in mind that children''s tastes can change quickly, the writer advised.
The bed can be used as the centrepiece of the design - bedsteads come in all sorts of shapes, such as model cars or golden coaches, although make sure the room is big enough to accommodate it first.
Recently, interior design company Andrea Lauren Elegant Interiors offered some advice on making the difficult transition from a children''s bedroom to a teen den.
