Each week Maxabella showcases a collection of things from around the internet that have helped her solve a problem. This week, what to include in her children’s room designs.

I’m very busy moving my children into new bedrooms (I have been very busy doing this for about seven months now, but let’s not go there!). There been so much thought needed to get the strategical maneuvering right that I am only just now getting up to the fun decorating part.

I’m set on dark walls with some kind of pegboard and a map and yellow for Maxi’s room.

Naturally my thoughts are still all over the place, but I’ve been gathering some ideas (you can check out my Pinterest boards here and here). I’m not a big fan of the ‘novelty’ bed (car and pirate novelty beds are big for boys) and I think we’re all rather over bunting (although some kind of garland is essential, I’m sure you’ll agree). From the clever to the ridiculous, oh my, there are a lot of ideas out there for children’s bedrooms!

Fear not, I’ve narrowed down the essentials…

What kind of room does your child / children have? Is decorating important to you?
