So, you’ve decided to invest in a new bed for your child but don't quite know what to go for. Buying a child’s bed isn’t the simple affair it once was, with fierce competition on the high street plus designers clamouring to corner the market with novel and eye-catching ideas. Car shaped beds, bus shaped beds, beds built like castles - complete with turrets… Of course aesthetics are important but it is also crucial to make sure you spend wisely, especially when looking for something to see your toddler through to their teens and beyond.   Spacesavers If living space is at a pre..

March will once again play host to National Bed Month, an initiative launched by The Sleep Council. Little Lucy Willow will be joining this 31-day quest to improve the nation’s sleeping habits - not least those of our children - by offering advice on everything from evening routines and sleep-inducing decor, to our very own area of expertise...beds.     Let’s get started by asking you some very simple questions posed by The Sleep Council. If you can answer ‘yes’ five or more times then we’re afraid you need to invest in a new bed! Is your mattress seven years old..

There is definitely a buzz about our new competition here in the office. The usual “What would you do if you won the lottery?” has now been replaced with… “Just what would YOU choose if you won £250 worth of Little Lucy Willow accessories?”   Before we go on, let me point out that the odds of you actually winning this competition are much, much higher than those of scooping the lousy lottery, making it a little more exciting don’t you think?   To be in with a chance of grabbing a gorgeous goody bag all you have to do is upload a photograph of your Little Lucy Willow bedroom ..

The other night as I chased Martha around the room in a vain attempt to get her ready for bed we fell into the usual routine.   She disappeared down the stairs, pyjamas in hand, as I stood quietly behind the door ready to shout “boo!” when she crept back in. Laughing hysterically she launched herself onto her Looby Lou Cabin Bed and proceeded to jump up and down. I watched and waited as she bounced herself into a giggling stupor, knowing she would be so tired after five minutes that I’d have her tucked in and snoozing in no time.     "No wonder she's so trim despite all t..

It’s that time of year when many of us get itchy feet around the home, prompting a few subtle changes here and there.   You might decide to reorganise your furniture to breathe new life into an otherwise tired room, or you could simply opt to swap old accessories for new.   This early spring clean might start out in the kitchen before extending into the hallway and the lounge, eventually resulting in a top to toe overhaul of every room in the house!   By the time you reach the children’s bedrooms you have probably discovered your ruthless streak, disposing of anything in you..

Is that a hint of luuurrrve I can sense in the oh so misty air…?   So, Valentine’s Day is upon us once again. To celebrate, we are offering 20% off all gifts in our designated Valentine’s section until midnight on Sunday.   Seeing as our lives will soon be riddled with romance (fingers crossed) I thought we could show our little ones that we love them lots too!   At Little Lucy Willow we know how much little girls adore hearts and fairytales and we believe our gorgeous Looby Lou children's furniture range captures their dainty dreams just perfectly.   Looby Lou low..

A child’s room is always full of little trinkets and treasures that get lost amongst the mayhem. A rosette for riding, a trophy for dancing or a homemade rocket perhaps?   There are so many things that our children take pride in and want to show off to the world. So where do we put all this memorabilia?   A beautiful wall shelf could be a good place to start. At Little Lucy Willow we have now added these stunning designs to our Florence Flutterby and Daisy Brambles collections.     Handmade to order and built to last, they serve up the perfect finishing touch to a..

Ok so here are the statistics...More than 50% of Little Lucy Willow customers opted to buy three quarter or double sized beds for their children last year.   It’s clear there has been a shift in the market but why?   Jason Thomas, Sales Director at Little Lucy Willow says it’s all down to sensible spending. “It goes without saying that you need adequate space if you are going to purchase a double bed for your child, but those who have that luxury are choosing to buy bigger, simply to cut costs later on. “It makes a lot of sense, especially if you are looking at a high qualit..

A comfortable bed which is sufficiently large and supportive is essential for a good night's sleep. But it's not the only thing that will help us get the rest we need.     The position we sleep in is also central to our wellbeing so if snoring, heartburn or the dreaded wrinkles are blighting your life, it could simply be that you need to roll over!   Back Sleeping on your back is considered to be the best position for your neck and spine as they are resting in a neutral position, allowing your mattress to support them. This position is also good for those keen on main..

There is something about a cabin bed that quite enchants a child. Their little eyes light up as they prepare to explore the seemingly wondrous structure before them. Under, over, round and round, looking for hidden secrets!   But cabin beds aren’t just about playtime. With space enough to house clothes, toys, books and much, much more, they present the answer to all of your storage conundrums.   Instead of cramming belongings into an already densely packed bundle under the bed, the crafty cabin bed allows you to compartmentalise (sigh, music to my ears!).     We recen..

In the beginning, when Lucy Willow first started selling furniture back in 2007, and with little experience and limited budget, we decided to deliver our furniture ourselves. Every Friday night we would load up our large van in order to deliver everyone’s furniture for the weekend. This invariably meant a 4.00am start in order to beat the traffic to travel to various parts of the country to begin a long day’s work as well as face the inevitable long drive back home. I am thankful that those days are gone and we now employ the services of a professional delivery company however along the wa..

So how has your December been so far? I'm hoping all your presents have been bought, wrapped and are tucked under the tree ready to be devoured on Christmas Day...ok maybe that is wishful I thinking but I'm sure it won't be too long before you're ship shape and ready!     This can be a super hectic time. I find the best way to combat any seasonal stress is to take time out with the children. I like to remind myself what it’s really all about. A simple drive out to look at all the Christmas lights (whilst listening to some festive songs of course!) is a great diversion from all t..
