Revamping the Kids’ Rooms and Your Guest Room!
You might think that a bedroom makeover means tons of new decorations, furniture, wallpaper, paint, and a whole lot of money that you just don’t have. Well, we’ve got news for you, moms: a home makeover starts with smart choices, a few swap arounds, and a ton of good pics for your IG feed. Here’s the lowdown:
Your bedroom is easily the most important room of the house – it’s the first thing you wake up to, the space where you get ready for the day, your timeout zone away from the kids, and the last thing you fall into before you close your eyes. The bedroom is a sacred space, a place of rest and repose – and you’d do well to ensure that this area of deep restoration is preserved in the best way possible. This goes for kids’ rooms, and your guest room too.
So where to begin with sanctifying this sanctuary we call – the bedroom. Revamping all the bedrooms in the house doesn’t necessarily mean going all out and replacing your comfort zones completely. It means making smart choices, for best comfort. Begin with the bed. It’s been proven that sleeping on a new mattress can do wonders for spinal alignment, reduce pain at night, assist with allergies, and even help you concentrate better during the day. Plus, it can certainly keep your emotions balanced, especially through those chaotic mornings when the kids are late for school, the milk’s gone sour and someone (you know who!) finished all the coffee without replacing it.
A bed isn’t a one-time buy, nor a one-fits-all kind of rodeo. Each bed is a ceremony of sleep unto its own, for different reasons and for different sleepers. Splashing out on new beds for every room in the house can however become a costly affair. Pro-tip: if your bed is still young-ish (around 6 years old), consider moving your own bed into the guest room first, and gift yourself a new one instead! It’s the peak of bed ergonomics these days; you want a more comfortable bed, and your own bed is generally better than the one in the guest room – so go on and swap it out. The guest bedroom is just as much a sacred area of comfort as is your own. Most people have a double mattress in the guest room. But try to imagine your extended family staying over for the weekend – two fairly weighted people trying to sleep in a not-so-comfy bed, will only deliver a not-so-comfy result. Consider your queen mattress instead from your Master Bedroom – knowing this could fit nicely, and deliver a good night’s sleep, gives you peace of mind for any nap overs as well as the opportunity to invest in yourself. It’s a win-win!
Choosing your new mattress needs some time and testing. The very first thing, is to assess the quality of your mattress, pillows, and bedding. You may not even know which bed is right for you; you could be sleeping on a firm mattress when really, your body needs to be dropping down on a soft mattress (or the other way around). Your mattress is so much more than what meets the eye – it’s a delicate decision between waking up with energy, hitting the snooze button ten times, or hating on the world because your back is tight, and your brain is foggy.

Consider that king-sized mattress - meaning you can stretch out all those hard-working muscles after a long day of getting things done, and when you throw in some memory foam material and Egyptian cotton sheets? Well, then you can truly relax like the royal Mom you are!
And, what about the kids? Their room needs an extra a bit of fun. Here’s how to keep the kids happy: bunk beds! There’s nothing more fun for a kid than bunk beds – it brings them closer together, they have a hoot of a time climbing up and down and making shadow puppets on the ceiling at night, and even better, it’s a huge space-saver. That means more space for the kids to play, extra cash in your wallet, and a good time all around. Bed King’s Mewer bed range will be sure to keep them safely and comfortably tucked in at night. The puppets too! Pro-tip: avoid top-bunk-bottom bunk arguments with a monthly bunk schedule – each kiddie gets a turn to be the top sleeper! Works like a charm.
Makeover Moms - if you’re struggling to make extra space in your home, think about getting a storage base for the bed – it’s a great place for kids and parents to keep the extras neatly packed away!
