Everett Extendable Bookcase La Redoute

Here’s a clever idea - expanding storage. And who doesn’t wish they had more of that? There is a taller version of this as well, but it’s perfect for home offices as well as children’s bedrooms, where the collection of books both school and leisure tends to grow with their years.
Star Embroidered Quilt The White Company

The quilted effect on this is very inviting and cosy – and if you don’t fancy grey, remember you can warm it up with every other colour on the spectrum, as everyone is friends with grey.
Easy-Care Moon Floral-Print Bed Set The White Company

Pastels are big this year and I’m seeing an awful lot of ruffles creeping in. Give these a bit more heft by pairing with darker blue pillow cases and sheets or even a strong navy blue and white stripe.
Classic Single Four Poster Bed The White Company

Who didn’t want a four poster bed as a child? This ultra-simple design will work in all rooms – and you can drape curtains, or even just a large piece of material, over the top and sides to make a cosy den.
Buisseau Oak and Rattan Cane Child's Bed La Redoute

Billed as a kids’ bed, this is actually a standard single, so don’t worry that you will have to replace it too soon. It should take them from first bed to whenever you redo the room and they want a double - sometime around early teens seems the current convention.
Personalised Letter & Name Wooden Stool Not On The High Street

You can have too much of a personalised thing, but this is rather sweet and can be used as a mini bedside table as well as a stool. I made one very similar in carpentry lessons at school and it still turns up in various rooms.
Syma Lion Child's Rug La Redoute

A big rug made from polypropylene with the STANDARD 100 label, which means that every component has been tested for harmful substances and found safe (often going above and beyond standard national and international limits). At 120cm x 170 cm, it’s a good size too and its soft wool effect will make it comfy for lying on.
Magnetic Dino Wallpaper Etsy

There's so much wallpaper around these days and it doesn’t have to be specially designed for children, but this is magnetic and comes with three magnets for children to create their own stories on the background. It’s such a clever idea. NB: It will need sealing with Polyvine Decorator’s varnish to protect from stains and fingermarks.
Dallas Single Bed Cuckooland

There’s something really cosy about this bed, which is a standard single size. They can add lots of cushions, fairy lights and throws to create a daybed look when they are older, and it comes on legs with the option to add a trundle drawer to be filled either with a spare mattress for sleepovers or more toys.
Zoupiou Child's Rug with Teepee Motifs La Redoute

A really fun rug in muted colours that might not fight with the rest of your house. Pull out the navy, mustard and pink to create a room that’s more colourful, albeit in muted shades rather than primary.
