| Decorating Children's Bedrooms Children’s Bedrooms are generally multi-functional - a space to sleep fundamentally but in the absence of a playroom, they will also be a space to play and to store toys. As children become older, their bedrooms become a space to relax, to read, to chat to friends and to host sleepovers. Therefore, it can be a good idea to plan them carefully when your child is young - to ensure that they are a versatile space that can be easily adapted, has good storage and space as well as having a design scheme that will not date quickly. |

Lighting is important not just for visibility and enabling you to see what you are doing clearly, it is also crucial for atmosphere and the amount of light a room receives, be it from natural daylight ormartificial sources, will affect the colour choices within the room. “Ambient lighting” is the name given to general background lighting and is usually provided by a central pendant which, if it is the only light source, will result in a room devoid in atmosphere. |

| Christmas Decorating Why do we put up a Christmas tree with lights and decorations? The Christmas tree as an evergreen tree is the symbol of life, when all other trees have lost their leaves and the ground is covered with frost and snow and nothing else is growing.

Lights in the window were to symbolise a welcome to any travellers. |
