Useful Tips When Buying Storage Lockers

There are a number of uses for storage lockers in the home and at the office. They can be bought in many shapes, sizes and colors so that you are able to match them up to any color scheme in any room. Lockers provide a safe and secure means of storage your personal belongings in the comfort of your own home or in public places such as at work or at gym.

Playroom Furniture Storage

When you think of a locker you tend to think back to the days when you were at school or college. The lockers found at schools were old, dented and painted grey. They are definitely not suitable for the home as they will really stand out from the rest of the furniture in the room. Luckily you can buy storage furniture that can be bought in various materials and colors to match your existing furniture. You can buy these lockers in wood, metal or in a very strong plastic. Each of these materials can be coated in a colored paint of your choice. The painted metal and plastic lockers will provide a modern look to the room.

Playroom Furniture Storage

Lockers can be bought as a single or unit or attached in clusters. They can also be set on the floor and if you are limited on floor space, you can mount them onto the wall. Mudroom lockers work well in utility cupboards and are usually mounted onto the wall.

You can store any items you wish in the locker as long as they are not too valuable. It is not really advisable to store valuable jewelry or money even if they do have a lock system. These items should be stored away in a safe which is much more secure. An interesting use is to store cleaning products that could cause harm to your kids. This allows you to store and lock up the products so that they cannot gain access to these items.

What is Contract Furniture?

When searching for furniture, you may have come across the term 'contract furniture'. But what exactly is it, and how does it relate to furniture use and furniture design?

Playroom Furniture Storage

The simplest definition of contract furniture is furniture that is used for commercial purposes. Typically, contract furniture is used by landlords and letting agents, university halls for student accommodation, hotels, B&Bs, guest houses, offices, bars, restaurants and leisure facilities. The furniture itself can range from contract bed frames, mattresses, sofas, chairs, lighting, desks, bedroom furniture, dining facilities, upholstery and linens. The list is almost endless!

Playroom Furniture Storage

The term 'contract' itself refers to the written agreement between the seller and buyer when the goods are bought. And when furniture is sold for commercial use in the UK, it has to meet a strict set of criteria to meet a number of British Standards.

Contract Furniture and Crib 5

The legislation ensures that any upholstered furniture sold has been rigorously checked and meets safety standards (BS7177 ignition source 5/Crib 5). Furniture for contract use must meet minimum standard of Crib 5. The regulations apply to everyone in a business chain, from manufacturers and suppliers through to landlords, upholsters, second hand furniture suppliers and letting agents.

In what way is contract furniture different to 'normal furniture?

In essence, apart from the applicable regulations, furniture for contract use doesn't appear to be different from furniture intended for residential domestic use. In fact, there's no reason why contract furniture can't be used in this way.

However, because contract furniture is intended for heavier commercial use, it needs to be durable. For this reason, if you're buying for commercial use, you should look for a product guarantee of a minimum of 5 years, to ensure durability.

Items such as contract bed frames and mattresses need to be able to withstand heavy use, so must be particularly strong and robust - the more superior quality you can afford, the better return on investment you'll get. For instance, if you're buying contract bed frames, try and opt for solid steel and always make sure that the bed frames meet British Standard Safety Regulations.

    Headboards &amp; Footboards - What's the Difference?

    Headboards and footboards are a great way to add style to a bedroom. Even if you do not need to replace your bed, adding a headboard or a footboard can change the look of the bedroom without having to raid the bank. You can make either of them a focal part of the room, and in many rooms they are the centerpiece.

    Playroom Furniture Storage

    The use of a head or footboard can bring the theme of the room together.
    However, they do have more practical reasons. A headboard can be a comfortable backrest, when sitting up in bed reading or watching television. A footboard was originally designed to stop people slipping off the bottom of their beds.

    Playroom Furniture Storage

    You can find headboards and footboards in every material, color shape and design. So you do need to get an idea of what you like and what you think would suit the room. An ornate ostentatious design may not look great in a small room, whereas as a simple metal or wooden addition will complement a smaller space.

    Footboards can also double up as storage, some designs come with built in shelves, and some even contain a linen box, which can also be used as a seat. The only limitation when it comes to choosing is your imagination.

    Here are just some of the choices that are available.

    Wooden
    A beautiful wooden headboard is a classic feature. A headboard of this natural, durable material will continue to look fantastic over the years as you change the color and style of your bedroom around it. You can choose from pine, beech, oak and many more.

    Leather
    Leather headboards and footboards look so luxurious and opulent. They will last forever and will not date; in fact the great thing about leather is that it looks better as it ages. You can also wash and treat leather to give it even more shine.

    Metal
    Metal can look contemporary in a bedroom, and can be a strong design statement. The clean lines of metal can look great in a smaller bedroom where they do not overpower.

    Upholstered
    The great thing about upholstered is the vast selection of fabrics that you can choose from. You can match these fabrics to your bed linen and curtains. Having a spare set means you can easily change the theme of the room to suit your mood.

    Brass.
    Brass is an all time classic favorite and can look stunning. Everyone has dreams of sleeping in a large soft brass bed. Brass says romantic. You can get old genuine antique brass headers and footers or new modern designs.

    You should consider how your preferred choice fits to the bed. Some are floor standing, some fit to the wall and some need to be attached to the bed itself.

    So make sure you are happy with the fitting requirements. Finally, headboards and footboards should come with all the components ready for self-assembly, before you start, check that you have everything that you need to complete the project.

    How to Create a Super Kids Play Room

    Creating a great and exciting playroom for your child can be a lot of fun but there are a few things to keep in mind as you get started. Most parents begin the project with a few ideas they know they'd like to see in a playroom. Most often, the number one wish of parents is to create a space where they can contain and store the majority of their children's toys. Storage solutions take on many forms in a children's playroom. For example, a room can contain anything from built-in cabinets to decorative shelving to toy boxes. You can even add an extremely cool kids locker for storing anything from jackets and hats to shoes or sports equipment. While confining clutter to one room may be the primary objective for parents in creating a playroom, the number one objective for children when it comes to their playroom is a enjoying a great play space. Creating that perfect play space can be a challenge but there are a few simple tips to keep in mind to create the best possible play area for your children.

    Playroom Furniture Storage

    • The first thing to keep in mind is no overcrowding. It can be very tempting to put way too many toys into a playroom but the more toys, the more overwhelming the space can be to a child. In this case, minimal is often best. If you have a large number of toys for your child to play with, or there are toys you do not wish to give away or throw out, consider rotating different toys in and out of the playroom every few weeks. This adds variety without overstimulating your child.

    Playroom Furniture Storage

    • The second thing to keep in mind is to tailor the room to the interests of your child. If your child is into football, consider creating a sports theme with wall art and accessories. If your child loves animals consider purchasing accessories and toys with this theme. Some of your child's favorite hobbies can be spotlighted, giving the child a special place to enjoy.

    • The third thing to keep in mind is to create activity specific areas. Have a corner containing an art easel and paint or a reading area with a bookcase, rugs and throw pillows. Consider incorporating toys that encourage pretend play, such as a puppet theater, a play kitchen or a tent. Children thrive on routine and knowing what to expect in their play space and where to expect it will provide nice structure to their play time. Make sure to leave plenty of open floor space for working puzzles or racing cars.

    • Another thing to keep in mind is using child sized furniture and accessories. Play tables and chairs designed specifically for children are great additions to a playroom. Train tables and activity tables are also just the right scale for your child.

    • The last tip is to provide lots of color and texture. Children react strongly to bright colors and a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures. By providing sensory interest to a child's space you are inviting them to become immersed in their play environment.
