Kids' room budget & time-savers

Redecorating a child's bedroom needn't involve an exorbitant amount of money, or time.

• For walls try a feature colour, decals, bunting and fabric stretched over canvas, or frame your child's artwork.
• When purchasing linen keep it "clean", so you can mix and match easily. Coordinate duvet covers with bed linen and wall accessories, choosing simple sports themes for boys and pretty fabrics for girls.
• Solid white painted furniture sets the perfect standard for a bright, fresh bedroom.As your child grows older and has friends to stay overnight, a trundle bed hidden underneath the existing bed is a great alternative to bunks or twin beds.Choose a design which allows the trundle to be used for storage when not in use.
