Refresh your child’s bedroom this Christmas and you will reap the rewards in the new Spring Term.

What child doesn’t want to be treated to a clutter-free, stylish personal space? And not just the girls – boys love a bit of teen artwork on the walls and a handful of cool gadgets by their bedside.

When did you last really look at their bedroom? Head in there before the holidays, or work together this weekend, to throw out the rubbish, recycle all the books that are clearly for younger readers and bag up anything at all that isn’t absolutely necessary. And once that’s all done, a small amount of online shopping for Christmas will transform the space in no time at all.

With all that new, well-organised space, I feel a little independent homework coming on! With a new timetable too. So they’ll be all set for academic glory next term…Shh!

Cool posters and artwork (click on the blue links)

Sneaky gifts (all still fab) to help organise the space

My son has been asking and asking for his own whiteboard, so here’s a lovely wood-framed one (60cm by 90cm)

WALL-MOUNTED WHITEBOARD WITH WOOD FRAME AND FIXINGS ok so they’ll write rude words on it at times…

CUTE CATH KIDSTON STORAGE BOXES IF YOU’RE INTO THIS SORT OF THING

Affordable furniture – just a desk and a chair

Divine cards, writing paper and pens

Couple of fun bits to put in their new space
