A child's bedroom should be a safe haven in which they love and feel comfortable to be themselves. A fun and well decorated bedroom can make a child feel happy and confident. For children, their bedroom is where they play games, read, listen to music, wrestle, display or hide prized possessions, day-dream, or just go to be alone sometimes.

When it comes to decorating a child's room, a parent's approach should be different from decorating an adult bedroom. That's because a child's bedroom should reflect his or her personality and not the parent.

Julie Parianos, owner of Kate Lauren Designs says that decorating your child's room can be a lot of fun, but there are a few things parents should consider. 'The number one tip I can offer is that you need to find a balance between what your child will love today and won't outgrow. The designs need to be able to stand the test of time. Use their personalities as inspiration."

Kate Lauren Designs creates and sources a mix of fresh, timeless and elegant pieces for children's rooms. Each collection she creates is inspired and named after her children, or her children's friends and are made from the highest quality materials. Collections include an assortment of chic lampshades, cushions, linen, fabric lanterns and wall décor. All of Kate Lauren Designs collections are available online and can be purchased and posted to anywhere in Australia and to overseas.
