ROOM TO GROW children’s bedroom furniture

The girls share a room at the moment, which is fine while they’re still so young, but I literally dream of the day when they can each have their own.

They get on brilliantly most of the time, but they’re also very different personalities – Big Sis likes to have time to herself, reading or playing a game on the iPad, while Lil Sis is happy to sit in front of a mirror doing her hair for hours on end.

On those days when they’re driving each other mad (yet won’t leave each other alone) it would be nice for them to have their own personal space, somewhere that’s just theirs where they can stamp their own personalities.

We’re planning a big renovation in a couple of years, by which time Big Sis will be nearing the end of primary school (sob) and will need a practical space for homework and studying. Which is why I’ve already decided that these midsleeper beds from Room to Grow are the perfect upgrade from the bunk beds they have at the moment.

Storage is seriously lacking in our house, so I’m always looking for clever ways to maximise the little space we have. These Room to Grow beds are perfect – not just stylish and contemporary, but entirely practical too. The use of the high bunk-style bed leaves floor space underneath which can be used for drawers or bookcases, a play area, or even a pull-out guest bed.

They also have some brilliant models with desks that either slot tidily underneath, or come out from the bed at right angles. And, if you’re planning on spoiling the kids this Christmas, the extra storage is perfect for stashing all those new games and toys.

ROOM TO GROW has an extensive selection of mid-sleepers, single and traditional bunk beds, as well as a wide range of children’s bedroom furniture and accessories. They also have lots of great deals and price promotions, so that dream room might be a lot closer than you think…
