Children's Room Furniture
When decorating a child’s room, many choices abound for color, theme and style if you think liberally. A little girl for instance might prefer a mirrored dresser with a matching stool. A young boy might want bunked beds. The size of the room and the size of the child should dictate the size of the bed. Once this is decided, then it is worth perusing the furniture store websites for child-appropriate options. These range from decorated wooden combinations to elaborate elevated beds with desks and bureaus attached to the structure. If you think more conservatively and prefer a more timeless approach, many traditional varnished-wood sets are available for the small ones. Perhaps you need a free-standing closet that allows children to put away their own clothes. Certainly smaller chairs, a rocker or a young child’s table set make the room more appealing for playtime. A carefully chosen rug with a colorful pattern or an animal-themed print makes for an appealing touch. Be sure to look for some open shelving that allows for quick and tidy toy pick-up and put-away. Keep in mind that older children really enjoy being consulted about their room and relish the chance to update their living quarters. When looking to update a shared room, consult both children and encourage them to integrate their ideas before shopping. This ensures less argument and more creative ideas for their room. Twin beds or bunk beds can be used for sleeping. However, a newer option is the bunk bed where the upper bed is a single and the lower bed is a double. Girls might enjoy matching canopy beds. Let them use their imaginations to create a room that reflects their age and personality.

With their Calgary home office ranges (available in black and white gloss and walnut) starting from as little as £39, and our Modular Bedrooms (available in a wide variety of finishes) starting from £99, the days of having to pay 1,000s for customised furniture are now gone.
In the bedroom….
space2 customers can choose from single, double, or corner wardrobe configurations, along with shelving, shoe storage, bedside chests and drawers. Mix and match door styles, to come up with a unique look. And the great thing about this product is if the customer has a redecoration they can simply order new doors and they get a completely new look.
In the office…
With more and more people working from home a home office has become a bit of a necessity. The beauty of Space2.com’s Calgary ranges are they can expand with growing needs. Customers could start with a basic desk, and add on filing cabinets, chests of drawers, cupboards and shelving as their needs expand.
