The top 5 ways to make your home look more modern

Want to create a stylish, modern but warm interior to your home but a bit stuck as to how to get it on a budget? No worries as these five top insider tips will help you make the smallest changes that bring the maximum impact to a space.

A nursery created with love.

Whilst Jelly Bean is currently in our bedroom, snoozing snugly next to our bed in his SnuzPod the time will come when he leaves our room to his own little space in the house.

Designing and creating a nursery for our little bundle of love, a beautiful space created with love, allows me to browse a vast range of nursery and baby products to find the perfect ones for us.

Thanks to the inspirational Homify I have found a number of gorgeous items that would create a unique and beautiful space for our little Jelly Bean once the time comes for him to fly the nest and leave the safety of our bedroom.

As I want to create a unique space made with love I want a stunning and unusual cotbed as the centrepiece of the room. The Elephant Cotbed by Adorable Tots most definitely fits the bill! The striking cotbed suits our eclectic style and our love of animals, especially elephants.

A new bedroom for a new big brother.

Whilst Bug is not moving rooms since we moved to this house we have not done much to his bedroom, partly due to being restricted decorating wise as we rent as well as not needing to buy new furniture and bedroom accessories as he was happy with what he already had.

But with the impending arrival of Jelly Bean and the fact that Bug is growing up so fast, being unwavering with his tastes and likes we have decided to revive his bedroom and make it into a new bedroom perfect for a new big brother.

It may not be a 60-minute makeover, instead being a slow burner of a makeover thanks to the hecticness of family and getting ready for Jelly Bean’s arrival but below is my wishlist of furniture and bedroom accessories that I would love to get to transform Bug’s bedroom into the big boy bedroom he deserves.

Bed

As Bug is going through yet another growth spurt and is a tall boy the time has come for him to move from his cot bed to a big boy bed.

Top of our bed wishlist for Bug is the Malibu Cabin Bed Frame in Pine available from Homebase or Argos. With a plush and comfortable mattress I am sure this bed would help give Bug a peaceful night’s sleep. Plus a big bonus of the bed is the storage space underneath.

Bookworm reading corner

As Bug is a little bookworm I would love to have a lovely bookcase in his bedroom so his extensive book collection could be showcased. I would love to create a bookworm reading corner with a gorgeous Tidy Book bookcase.

I would also love an uber comfy chair from Worlds Apart such as the Ultimate Spider-Man Flocked Chair (perfect for superhero mad Bug) or a Ninja Turtles Flip Out Sofa to be in his bookworm reading corner.

Lighting

Whilst we are restricted on changing the ceiling lights I would love to add some fun and funky lighting to Bug’s new bedroom. Satisfying Bug’s admiration of Superheroes I would love to get a few Superhero themed night lights from The Glow Company such as their amazing 3D FX Marvel Lights.

Bedding

As we are restricted on decorating as well as adding colour and character to the room with furniture, lighting and posters/wall stickers I want to add a splash of colour to the room with some Superhero themed bedding. I hope to get a couple of different Superhero bedding sets to bring Bug’s new big boy bed to life, with this marvellous Marvel Avengers Duvet Cover Bedding Set with 3D Glasses from Universal Textiles.

Now all I need is some superhero powers to transform Bug’s bedroom to a superhero themed big boy bedroom perfect for the new big brother he will soon be.

Mini-b Beanbag from Room To Grow - review.

For a while I have wanted to create a quiet and relaxing reading corner for Bug with books aplenty and a comfy seating area but it was not until we moved to our new house that we had the space to create a peaceful haven for our little bookworm.  With the manic-ness of the house move, Christmas and then everyday life getting in the way Bug’s bookworm corner had not been created and no comfy seating had been bought for Bug to lounge on as he reads his books.  Thankfully Room To Grow came to my aid when they gave us the opportunity to review their Mini-b Beanbag.

Room To Grow’s Mini-b Beanbag was delivered very fast and I was surprised to see that the beanbag came with a reusable protective storage bag which is a great addition to the beanbag.  The reusable protective storage bag is very useful for the rare occasions when you might need to store the beanbag, safekeeping the beanbag from dirt and damage and I can imagine the storage bag would be very handy to keep the beanbag protected when moving house.
