An ambiance for romance can easily be created with the right kind of lighting, and with Sharps fitted bedrooms you can create the perfect atmosphere with a choice of under bridge reading lights, spotlights and even interior closet lights.

Interior Closet Lights

Windows are something that often gets overlooked in rooms, and sometimes heavy curtains just don’t suit the look you are going for. A great alternative are stylish blinds and shutters, they are low maintenance whilst looking great, and add a fresh, colonial edge to your bedroom.

The air of a room can be completely transformed with a well chosen bed spread or throw. Whether it is a spring fresh scheme or something more opulent, it is an affordable and easy way of injecting some of your personality into your room.

The best way to show that you care about your bedroom is to keep it nice and tidy, so everyone will be wowed by the design and decor, rather than the piles of clutter. So why not treat your bedroom (and yourself of course) to the fabulous Glamour Cabinet? As well as making it easy to glam yourself up for that Valentine’s Day date, it provides storage for all those necessary items, and impulse purchases. Ladies, we guarantee it will make you feel all gooey this February 14^th.

However we all know children grow up fast, and Flexispace is ideal for seeing them through the transition to teenage-hood.

Flexispace can be altered to fit those important party dresses and shoes, or even somewhere to store the games console so you avoid tripping over it.

Here are some other great accessories we think would help transform your child’s room into a teenage haven, without the rebellious posters…

Some carefully chosen canvas art will give your teenager’s room a splash of colour and style all at the same time.

Your teenager is bound to have a busy social life, and what better to way to keep track than with a personalised wall calendar? Some retailers will take your photos and transfer them onto the calendar which can be anywhere from A5 to A3 size.

Photos are a perfect way of documenting your child’s life, and you are no longer limited to displaying them in 7×4 standard silver frames which hardly scream cutting age.  There are lots of designs out there and your teen is bound to find something that reflects their personality. Here are some of our favourites:

1. They have a lot of things
2. They will accumulate more things as they grow up

However, this does not mean their belongings need to be strewn across the floor or stuffed unlovingly into drawers or boxes.

With Sharps’ Flexispace, your child’s clothes, toys and other bits and pieces can all be stored and displayed beautifully leaving plenty of other space in their bedroom for tea parties, building dens and other important activities our little ones spend their time doing.

Flexispace is ideal for arranging your child’s clothes and toys so that it is not only easy to hunt out the perfect outfit, but it looks simply beautiful as well. It can be easily adapted too, so as your child grows, and so do their clothes, Flexispace will make sure everything can still be kept easily to hand.

Aside from storage there are other nice touches you can add to your child’s bedroom to ensure they are residing in the most stylish space around. For example why not keep the wall colours neutral and add some colour in accessories? Your child’s favourite colour is bound to change as they get older so this way they can stay in trend without the need for a whole redecorate every couple of years.

Here are a few other pieces we love that can be incorporated into your child’s bedroom and grow with them.

Bookcase – a fun bookcase will make sure your child’s books are on displayed neatly, and safe from damage.

Height Chart – this is something that will truly grow with your child! You can buy adhesive ones that peel off the wall, or free standing ones. Here are some of our favourites.

Memo Board – a pretty memo board can be used to document your child’s life, displaying letters, photos, certificates, pictures and anything else that takes their fancy. If you can’t find one you like in the shops, why not make your own?

Preparation is Key:

Whilst it is easy to go weak at the knees at the sight of so many discount signs and dive in headfirst, your sanity (and your bank balance) won’t thank you in the long run. Sit down and make a list of what you’re looking for, and where you might find it. If you stick to this you won’t be faced with piles of items with sales tags still attached and no home come the summer. Then perhaps plan your route around the high street or shopping centre. This will help you to avoid going back and forth and wasting valuable shopping energy! If you do end up making lots of lovely purchases, remember you’re going to have to store them somewhere when you get home. Try clearing space in your wardrobe and drawers, or simply reorganising your other things so you can store them away nice and neatly to avoid any clutter.

Consider Christmas 2012:

As silly as it seems, it is worth planning ahead to next Christmas and pick up some bargains to make your life easier when December rolls around. As well as fantastic gifts for family and friends, you can buy wrapping paper, cards and decorations at a fraction of the price.  Trust us you’ll thank yourself when Christmas arrives and you’re already sorted!

Keep Your Receipts:

If you get your sale bargain home and decide you don’t really need another tea cosy, or that you won’t wear that angora sweater after next week, don’t panic! Consumer rights on sale goods are the same as full price items (except where extra discounts have been offered due to faults, etc), so you will be able to return anything, and be guilt free.

So be brave, go forth into the January Sales, and go where no shopper has been before!
