Chicago furniture outlet makes furnishing children's rooms a breeze

Being in the middle of redecorating bedrooms for both of my children, stores like my Chicago furniture outlet, Walter E. Smithe, have been invaluable in finding quality pieces and getting ideas for how I can maximize useful space.

Of course, we want every room in our home to have plenty of useful space, but kids' rooms are a horse of a different color. Depending on age, you may need toy storage, play space, bookshelves, study space or a combination of all of these. That's what I'm looking at with my youngest son, who is young enough to want some play space, but old enough to need a desk.

My older son doesn't like anything ‘extra' in his room and is not interested in even the most grown-up-looking children's bedroom furniture Chicago dealers carry. He wants a grown-up room. But it can't be boring. And the focal point must be the TV and video games.

Those of you with boys know that their rooms may not turn out to be the adorable space that you first envision. First of all, even with sports and gaming themes, boys' rooms just don't elicit the same reaction of "ahh, how sweet" that a girl's room, no matter her age, will get.

Furnishing and decorating a boy's room is a much bigger challenge. Fortunately, the experts at Walter E. Smithe are there to help you figure out how you can best use the space you have. Whether incorporating under-bed storage or leaning toward a loft bed with a desk underneath, they have ideas for every scenario.

Chicago furniture outlet shoppers will find the full service at Walter E. Smithe to be a real blessing when it comes to meshing a parent's vision with a child's needs and sometimes trendy tastes. The sturdy, timeless pieces they carry can bridge the gap not only from one age to the next, but can also survive through many decorating stages.

So, when you are ready to tackle the challenge of your child's room, first check out the children's bedroom furniture Chicago buyers love most. Visit Walter E. Smithe and see what ideas their expansive showroom can inspire.

Now, if you're decorating a girl's room, just know that you will have many more choices and lots more fun. You may not find it any easier to reach a middle ground with your child, but even the most discerning eight-year-old will find something that lights up their eyes in this showroom.

You will also find ideas for accessories and clever furniture arrangement that will make your child's space more fun for them and more organized for you. That's the main objective, anyway, and if it comes out looking like a magazine photo in the process, no one will complain.
