CREATE A FARMYARD INSPIRED CHILDREN'S BEDROOM WITH THE ON THE FARM RANGE

We'd hazard a guess that one of the very first books that you, and 99 percent of other parents, read to your child involved animals. Are we correct? Did you flick through the pages pointing out the different animals, sounding out their names and perhaps making the noises of each one? The cow says Moo, the sheep says Baa, and the chick says Cheep.

It's no wonder that children develop such an early love for zoos, farms and animals when they've been brought up receiving smiles from their parents for every single one they can identify and make the sound of.

Therefore, it only seemed right that we developed an On The Farm range for children's bedrooms featuring adorable farmyard animals and picturesque countryside scenes. It's such a fantastic theme for a nursery or toddler bedroom, don't you think?

THE JAW-DROPPING CENTREPIECE

If your child is a fan of all-things farmyard and you can only buy one thing for their bedroom, let it be this stunningly detailed On the Farm Rug. More than just a rug, it's an amazing play mat, too. Little ones can wheel their tractors and cars around the winding paths and say hello to the animals as they pass on by. There are bridges to cross, streams to float down and trees to sit beneath. As well as being soft on little knees and tiny toes, it's definitely the rug to fuel imaginations and encourage a ton of role play fun.

Did you know that our rugs are hand crafted? That's how we achieve all that lovely detail.

A BEAUTIFUL TODDLER BED AND FARM-THEMED CHILDREN'S BEDDING

Also new is our Star Bright White Toddler Bed. Recommended for children between the ages of 18 months and four years old, its smaller proportions make it the perfect transition for little ones from a cot to a full-sized single bed. And its reassuringly low height and guard rails will make your child feel safe and snug at night.

Team it up with the On the Farm Toddler Bedding Set. Designed to match the children's rug, it features the same cute characters - sheep, pigs, cows and chickens. It's made from 100% soft, cotton percale and includes sturdy button closures for durability. We think it will have children longing to snuggle up under it demanding more and more bedtimes stories about life on the farm.

A QUIRKY ADDITION

Can you imagine a cuter kids' bookcase than our Baa Baa Sheep Bookcase? The fluffy outline will have your child imagining a real life sheep in their bedroom with the bonus for parents, that this one contains mess rather than makes one. Standing at 69cm tall, the shelves are easily accessible for children and they can reach and store their own books, toys and teddies.

SUBSTANTIAL STORAGE

Continuing the farmyard theme, how about the new On the Farm Canvas Storage Cube? Our simple fabric cubes are brilliant for keeping toys tidy and bits and bobs hidden away. They also have the added benefit of sitting neatly on the shelves of our more substantial storage options.

The Buttons Medium Bookcase has quite a small footprint but can fit six storage cubes in total. Although you might want to keep them to the lower shelves if they're filled with heavier toys. The Abbeville Storage Bench sits lower to the ground and can fit three handy cubes while also acting as a place to sit - perhaps, to read a book in a bedroom or to put shoes on in a hallway.

COMPLEMENTARY COLOURS

If you're short on space but still want storage that packs a punch, take a look at our popular rope baskets. They're strong in structure but soft on little hands and look great when used with our storage units or stand-alone, tucked in corners of bedrooms. There's an amazing array of colours and colour combinations to choose from but we think that the Ivory & Pink Rope Storage Basket and the Ivory & Sage Rope Storage Basket work particularly well with the On The Farm range and complement the colours in both the rug and the bedding.

A WOODEN FARM TO PLAY WITH

When you've got your farmyard inspired children's bedroom in order, there's only one thing left to buy. A farm! Not a real one, of course, but our timeless Willow Toy Farm. It's gorgeously illustrated and comes with a whole host accessories for hours of rural adventures. It offers a full 360 degrees of play value so there's something fun to do at every angle. And the removable roofs mean that children can access all the buildings easily, too. The Wooden Farm Animals set is also a real favourite here at GLTC.
