PURE IMAGINATION

Create a world of wonder for your children with these playful yet practical nurseries and bedrooms

- TAHN SCOON

Decorating can be a delight, especially when it comes to children's bedrooms. Most little ones prefer colourful, creative spaces so it's an opportunity to truly let your imagination run free. Play with pattern, pick a lively palette and, for truly individualistic interiors, incorporate a few vintage pieces.

Of course, all children grow up and as such, one of the most important considerations is longevity. Consider decor that is easily adaptable as your child develops. Stripes and checks are perennial favourites, and a velvet bedhead can be updated with increasingly sophisticated linen. Most importantly, don't be afraid to embrace your inner child.
