Think About Space

"Space is a key consideration in any room design but is particularly important when it comes to furnishing a child's bedroom. Children's rooms are often smaller spaces and so multifunctional pieces that provide storage and maximise valuable floorspace are an ideal solution" comments Adam Brown, Director of The Painted Furniture Company. The E2 Mid Sleeper (pictured above and below) is ideal for younger children, not only does it provide the perfect place for a good night's sleep, but it is packed with plenty of integrated storage, leaving kids with more space to play. This clever design utilises vertical space with a comfortable raised bed that is accessed via a fun ladder. Underneath the bed, there are open shelves, a chest of drawers, and a pull-out desk, as well as a spacious double cupboard at the foot of the bed - perfect for tidying away toys, books, and treasures before bedtime.

Consider Longevity

"Children grow quickly so think long-term when it comes to selecting furniture pieces for children's bedrooms. Sleepovers are one of the very best things about childhood - whether it’s the cousins at Christmas or midnight feasts with school pals, so think about how your child will want to use their space as they grow" advises Adam. The E2 kids collection has been designed to see children through from early years to teens and beyond and the single bed frame option with truckle is the perfect example. This stylish and well-proportioned single bedframe has a pull-out truckle that can be tucked away fully made up and ready to go.

Check the Quality

"It’s lovely to design a stylish, perfect-looking kid's bedroom – but don’t forget the practicalities of real, everyday family life. When choosing children's bedroom furniture opt for classic pieces that are built to last. Quality children's furniture will stand up to everyday use and is worth the investment" advises Adam. The E2 Kids Collection from The Painted Furniture Company offers practical children's bedroom furniture that is built to the same high standard as their main collections. It provides functionality as well as a timeless look that will see children right through to their teenage years

Take Storage Needs into Account

"Children need a calming space to call their own where they can sleep, dream, play, learn to read, chat with friends, or even do their schoolwork. Having the right selection of furniture with adequate storage to suit their needs will help to keep their room clutter-free" advises Adam. The E2 Kids collection includes a choice of chests of drawers in different heights and widths with a range of drawer options, as pictured below. There are also four wardrobe configurations to choose from with a range of drawer and door options.

"The great thing about the E2 Single and Double Pedestal Desks is that they can also double up as dressing tables and will see your child through those early school years to secondary school, college and beyond. The designs come with three and six drawers respectively so there is plenty of space for books, laptop, tablet and stationery and with the matching stool and bookcase, there’s no excuse for missed homework!" comments Adam.

Choose Colour
"Each season we carefully select colours that perfectly complement our furniture collections. Whilst we often take inspiration from the latest design trends and style guides the single most important lesson we have learned over the years is to just go with what feels right. We would always recommend that you do the same. Choosing painted furniture is about adding something to your home which is personal to you, something with soul!" comments Adam.

The E2 Kids Collection is available in 16 dreamy colours including Cloud, Moondust Grey and Night Sky. The timeless palette of colours features modern neutral tones perfect for boys and girls with hints of softly subtle natural hues. For those that want something with more impact, there are two striking colourways available; a deep, rich Corinium Red and an inky navy blue aptly named Inkwell. Alongside the wide range of furniture styles and sizes on offer, there are also bespoke sizes that can be created for especially large or small bedrooms and should customers want a specific colour - The Painted Furniture Company will colour match any given shade.
