When buying furniture for children, consider your purchases as a long-term investment rather than a passing fad you might later regret. Traditional, solid furniture can endure from your child's babyhood to their teenage years. Look for versatile pieces in stained wood or painted in white. And for longevity, always choose solid hardwood furniture over medium-density fibreboard and woods of poor quality.
Starting with a clean palate of furniture in neutral tones, you can then add simple and personal touches to your child's room with colourful bedding, pictures, toys and accessories. That way you can update your child's sanctuary as his or her preferences change, without breaking the bank. ni-night, Tel: 9829 7961. www.ni-night.com
