Your pre-schoolers bedroom is place you can cut loose with ideas and colour to create a space that is fun and inviting for your child. A neutral tone for the walls makes a good back-drop to then create an identity through colour and design with colourful furniture and accessories which you can then update and change as your child grows and develops. Think about what your child needs at this stage in their life; by now they should have grown out of their toddler bed and be ready for a regular 3ft single bed, cabin bed or bunk-bed. Now is also the time to introduce a small desk to get them used to sitting quietly to do craft or even numeracy and literacy. That said, it is just as important to allow plenty of soft floor space for play, so you'll also need lots of stylish storage to keep all those toys orderly. Take a look at our favourite furniture and accessories for pre-school bedrooms.
