Making the most of Children's Bedroom Space - Interior Dezine Tip of the Day
Children's bedrooms can often be small but the amount of toys that have are large! You need to use every available space to keep the bedroom tidy. Under the bed is a great place to have roll away storage containers for toys, seasonal clothes, or this space can be used for a trundler bed for visiting friends, reducing the need for another regular bed in the space. This keeps the room open and is a good use of space for an occasional activity like a sleepover. Stacking boxes or cubes are another way to keep the toys in the bedroom tidy.

What is toughened glass and how is it used in interior design?
Toughened Glass, or Tempered Glass is made by heating and suddenly cooling the glass. It tempers the glass giving a more flexible and impact resistant glass. It is used for doors, balustrades etc. It allows us as interior designers to use glass where once we would have had to use a solid wall. We can now have full height internal glass walls in an interior, we can have an interrupted view by using it as a balustrade, this also has the advantage of stopping wind.

What is Undercoat for Painting? - Interior Dezine Tip of the Day
Undercoat is any coating applied to a surface after priming and before the finish coat. It is matt with a high content of pigment and extender and a color approaching or helping that of the finish coat. Undercoats have many functions, they increase the thickness of the overall film, they hide the color of the primer or the previous layer on the existing substrate, and they are generally tinted in a similar color range as the topcoat. Varnish undercoats have less oil per unit of resin than varnish finishes.
Interior Color Scheme Idea - Interior Dezine Tip of the Day
A no fail color scheme concept, is to use one dominant color as the main theme for the room and then scatter accent colors around the room to add detail, pattern and texture. Make sure they are balanced and not all placed in one corner, it is easy to make changes to get it just right this way by simply moving a picture on the wall, shifting an armchair, throwing some scatter cushions on the sofa, rather than wallpapering or painting lots of colors and then finding out they don't work well together!
