The latest programme to be shown was on 13 October and was filmed in the Chelmsford area. One of the rooms to receive the 60 Minute Makeover magic was Kian’s bedroom. Being 5 Kian has a thing about making dens according to mum, Emma. Flexa supplied a bed tunnel for this very purpose and this was one of the items featured by the designer. He liked the fact that it was flexible washable and fitted in well with the design.

Kian loved his new room and in particular the bed tunnel. He has always had trouble sleeping and feeling cocooned in the tunnel has helped him feel safe and secure Emma told us. Of course we know this because the programme was filmed some months ago and since the family live close to our store in Chelmsford we invited them to The Meadows so we could meet the whole family.

They have been enjoying their 15 minutes of fame and will no doubt be recognised around Chelmsford for a few weeks now that the programme has been shown. Every show gets over 1 million viewers, so there will be no hiding.

Flexa has supplied bunk beds, loft beds, a high sleeper and a chest of drawers form our new range of furniture for a show due to be screened early in 2011. Keep a look out on this blog and we’ll let you know when we’re going to be on again.

If you haven’t seen our new children furniture ranges as yet, call us on 01245 262262 or 01245 358080 and we’ll send you a brochure. Remember Flexa is the system that grows with your children.

Flexa sponsored the children’s furniture and cinema area providing all the bean bags, carpets and cushions the children needed to relax on, and of course jump about on. We had a great event with clowns doing shows and sporadic visits from Vikings telling stories of old legends and Norse Gods. Some of the stories seemed a little scary for the average age of our visitors but no one burst into tears.

Many of the mums and dads took the opportunity to pick up the new brochure and take advantage of the show discount. The new jungle and butterfly room themes created a great deal of interest as did the all new children’s furniture ranges with the coloured fronts in blue and lilac.

The show was very well attended with over 6,000 people visiting over the two days. At times it seemed as though at least half of them were children. It was noticed that children had fun with Flexa furniture, balloons and baseball but the very professional show staff coped well handing out more Flexa balloons and baseball caps than we could count. We even had four of the models from the fashion show wandering around in Flexa baseball caps at one point.

We will certainly be supporting this show next year when we’ll take along a mid-high slide bed or two to try and wear out the more boisterous children!

Be prepared for sudden growth spurts with our Up’n’Down Table which is conveniently height adjustable. This desk is suitable for working at either sitting down or standing and thanks to its compact size is perfect to fit in any bedroom. We also offer a great height adjustable corner desk which provides slightly more room. It can be put under the classic high sleeper bed to save space or stand alone in the corner. Complete the look for a boy’s or a girl’s room by simply adding the office chair in bright blue or pink or whatever they prefer! Loft beds

Good lighting is essential for any study area so don’t forget to have a look at our range of desk lights. It includes table lamps designed in a princess or knight theme as well as adjustable lamps which come with a selection of three foils to cover the lamp shade. There is even one blank foil so your kids can design their own!

Finally, to keep your child’s room tidy we offer wooden storage boxes which will ensure that school books and folders are put away neatly. The boxes match the shelf unit range and fit into the shelves.

What else does your child need to enjoy their homework?

With the pressure of exams mounting for many children, a great way to promote relaxation in this stressful period is to make the bedroom a calm and harmonious place to study and chill out with cool bedroom furniture.

Using soft colours in a room is a great way to create a feeling of harmony and balance, particularly useful when trying to study. The simple use of neutral colours and pastel shades on a wall provide the eye with visual relief as well as creating a great backdrop for accessories or furniture pieces by children’s interior design specialist  .

Careful use of colour for kids interior design can help to create an environment conducive to study and careful use of space can also help. You’ve heard the phrase ‘a tidy room is a tidy mind’ and it’s true that a clutter free space helps to focus the mind on the task in hand, and keep distractions to minimum.

So how do you go about keeping your child’s room a tranquil and clutter free space?  One of the best ways to keep clutter down is by choosing key pieces of furniture that are multi-functional, providing hidden storage spaces for those items that never seem to have a home.

Here at Flexa we have designed a range of great teenager’s furniture that’s easy to build and easy enough for the kids to help with too. This flexible furniture will see them through school, college and beyond. Whether it’s our storage bed (bunk beds london) which also converts into a sofa or our two tiered coffee table on wheels, we provide solutions which are practical, stylish and can last a whole childhood.

We hope you’re feeling well-rested as we all need sleep to keep us happy, healthy and at our best. If you’re a parent, you’ll know just how important it is to make sure your children have a good night’s sleep.

Sleep allows our mind and bodies to rest and recuperate. For children, a prolonged lack of sleep can affect the immune system, growth, feelings and moods and lead to a low attention span so it’s essential that we routinely put our children to sleep at a sensible time and make sure they are as comfortable as possible.

Choosing your child’s first bed (Bedroom Furniture) can seem daunting with so many on the market, so what should you be looking for?

Firstly, the best bed (bunk beds) for your child will have been tested to the highest safety standard possible and the mattress should be comfortable and specifically suited to your child’s needs.

As all parents know, children of the same age won’t necessarily be the same size so the best mattresses are the ones that are classified by weight rather than age. This will ensure comfort and support for your child as they sleep. As allergies are extremely common in children and can appear at any time, the mattress should ideally be non-allergenic. There are some fantastic mattresses available to buy which are classified by weight and also marked with the ‘Oeko-Tex’ label – an internationally recognized guarantee to assure parents that they are free of chemicals and all other harmful substances.

As well as being a comfortable and safe place to sleep, the bedroom should also be a place where your child can play and use their imagination, which is where Flexa and childrens furniture can help. Flexa’s bedroom furniture is designed to be flexible to your child’s needs so with the addition of fun accessories such as slides, forts or caves, your child is sure to make the most of their rooms. As they get older, taking away the slide and other accessories and replacing them with a desk or slide out bed for when friends stay over is a great way to keep the bed functional and up to date.
