Owl light
There a lots of bone china animal-inspired lamps around at the moment and, like some of the others, this owl light is nice for using in a child’s bedroom.
As it’s made of bone china, you may not think it’s massively practical as a bedside lamp, but as it works with a low wattage light bulb which stays cool, it can be left on all night on a shelf as a gently glowing night light. It’s quite a cute design and shape for a child to wake up and see!
The bone china owl light is £69 from Nest Gifts.

Dinosaur bookends
If you’ve got a child who’s fasincated by dinosaurs, then this pair of friendly dinosaur bookends would be perfect for their bedroom or nursery.
Both bookends are decorated with a palm tree and a dinosaur – one blue and one green – and both have rather cheeky expressions!
Perfect for propping up books and keeping them tidy, the bookends are also a nice decorative addition to a child’s room.
The pair of dinosaur bookends are £9.95 from Beautiful Things.

Polar bear wallpaper
This ultra cute wallpaper features a lovely polar bear design and is perfect for use in children’s rooms or a nursery.
Unlike some children’s animal or character wallpaper, it’s not overpowering – the subtle wallpaper has a cream background with a delicate turquoise polar bear on it.
The polar bear wallpaper is by Turner Pocock Cazalet and is available to purchase from Wallpaper Direct for £70.50.

If you’re planning on redecorating a boy’s bedroom and are looking for a quick and easy way to transform the room, then this pirate bedroom set package is a great idea.

Dainty butterfly wall stickers
These have got to be some of the daintiest wall stickers we’ve found. The picture doesn’t really do them justice, but it’s a very affordable set of five adhesive butterfly wall stickers from Laura Ashley.
The butterflies have a nice cut-out effect, which enhances their wings, and they’ve been given a mirror finish, which helps them shine in the light when they’re on the wall.
Ready to use and easy to adhere, this simple set could transform a wall of your home in minutes.
Best of all, they’re remarkably only £5 from Laura Ashley, so you could afford to buy more than one set.

Fun folk
Folk is being tipped as a hot favourite for 2010 and we think these plates give the folk look a cool new spin.
The pretty, coloured matryoshkas should brighten up light snacks and as they’re made from melamine, they’re perfect for children or for dining al fresco.
The tray costs £18.50 and a set of four plates costs £26.50, all from Pedlars.

Child's rocking chair
This lovely wooden white painted rocking chair is the perfect size for children and comes complete with two cushions made from vintage fabrics.
It would be perfect for a child’s bedroom or nursery, or even used in a corner of the lounge, alongside complementary adult furniture.
It won’t break the bank, as it’s half price in the sale at RoseHip.

Shabby chic toy box
Begone, plastic boxes!
Make way for this rather fabby caravan toybox made from raffia and available in turquoise and stitched with pretty fabrics.
It’s far too pretty to be confined to the children’s room and we think it would make a great talking point in the lounge.
Prices start at £40 and there are other styles available.
Find it at Pinks and Green.

Every home needs a basket
We can’t think of a single home that couldn’t benefit from a basket or two (or seven).
Toys, blankets, spare toiletries – baskets store anything and everything.
Park it in the bedroom, bathroom, toy room or lounge and you have something signficantly more stylish than the ubiquitous plastic box. What’s not to love about them?
Zara Home sells these vegetable fibre west baskets for £19.90 each.

Squares are cool
We love the patchwork trend, though we’re not quite ready to thread up a needle and attack a pile of material ourselves.
So, we love to stumble on pretty finds like Boho Bebe’s patchwork quilt, cushions and baby mats that bring the trend to your child’s room. They even have mini bunting for a mere £5 – perfect for the nursery.
Prices start at £15 for a cushion up to £95 for the quilt at Angel At My Table.
