As proprietor of Harvey Norman Bedding and Manchester at Fountain Gate, Avelyn loves giving advice on decorating children’s bedrooms.

A trip to Avelyn’s store, where bedroom furniture and accessories are beautifully displayed, shows you can make a bedroom look exactly how you want.
Here, Avelyn shares her top tips for styling kids bedrooms:
- Beds: It’s important to choose the right bed. If your child has a small bedroom, consider space saving options such as a loft bed featuring an in-build desk that sits underneath. Also think about investing in a bed that can accommodate a trundle for sleepovers.
- Quilt covers: Keep it simple when choosing quilt covers. Simple designs will last longer and you can always accessories with colourful cushions, throws, etc.
- Natural linen: Stick to natural products such as cotton and wool when choosing sheets and quilts for your child’s bedroom. They keep you cooler in summer and warmer/cosier in winter.
- Cushions: Playful cushions are an inexpensive and fun addition to any room.
- Lamps: A lamp is a must in a child’s room – it’s a place where a lot of reading and homework is done.
- Decorator pieces: When shopping for decorator pieces, including lamps and cushions, shop according to the size, layout and existing décor scheme of a room. For the best results, try to be consistent with themes, shapes and colours.
