Help kids get back into the swing of school with simple room updates (ARA) — Your child’s room probably serves multiple functions as sleep center, play room and homework headquarters. The best children’s rooms are ones that incorporate fun and function, playfulness and practicality. Your first step is to establish areas in the room that will complement how your child uses her room every day. Mom and Dad really do know best when it comes to choosing a bed, so go with something that is practical, works for the room decor and gives your child the comfort, support and security she needs to rest well. Once a bed meets those priorities, you can factor in some fun, like opting for a special shape or color, or adding bunk beds or a trundle bed for fun, easy sleepovers. Seventh Avenue, an online retailer, offers a solid pine version that looks like a classic daybed when the trundle is closed, but easily converts to a side-byside trundle to accommodate guests. Once he’s well-rested, your youngster will need somewhere in his room to do homework. Some kids may opt to sit on their beds with a lap desk, but most will benefit from a dedicated space in their room where they can get organized and serious about their school work. Your young scholar will need a desk, comfortable chair and a place for his computer. Consider a functional space-saver, like a corner desk. Seventh Avenue offers a kid-friendly set that comes in bright colors like purple, pink and blue. For more decorating ideas, visit www. seventhavenue.com.
