Thanks to Jo, who is originally from South Africa, for this fantastic, cost-effective way to completely transform a child’s bedroom quickly.

Tell us about it…

Whatever theme your child is into, you can transform their room in minutes with just a shower curtain and some command picture strips or a tension rod.

We have the world on one wall and every country we travel to we buy a flag pin badge. The other wall is for his Harry Potter phase.

These are great as neither the tension rod or command strips ruin your walls and as your child changes their mind about what they do or don’t like you can change the theme in less than 5 minutes.

Tell us a bit about yourself…

My name is Jo and I have an 11yr old son. I’m originally from South Africa but have lived in the UK for 18yrs. 

How are you finding being housebound with kids so far?

My poor boy is an only child, so lockdown is a bit lonely for him. No sibling to irritate. My cupboards and my son’s room have never been so tidy!

Any tips to help people when they are housebound with kids?

A hug is soul-restoring and does wonders for mental health. So hug and kiss your kids as much as possible!
