Children try to avoid bedtime in any possible way. The thought of stopping having fun to do something as boring as sleeping is very difficult to take in. That is why creative and wise parents make sure that going to bed is something to look forward to turning this moment into an enjoyable routine and surrounding the child with playful and beautiful things to spark their imagination to ease them into the land of dreams.

The sleeping environment would not be complete without beautiful bed linen. I particularly like the quirky animal prints of the DwellStudio Gio Aqua and Gio Lemmon Duvet collections where an army of squirrels, giraffes, snails, hippos and elephants bring a whole world of magic to bedtime, whilst maintaining a stylish modern look. The two collections share the same design, but the colours are different: Gio Lemmon is a mix of purple, yellow, pink and grey on white and is clearly for girls, whilst the Gio Aqua mix of blue, turquoise, pale blue and grey on white is for boys. The quality of the fabrics is impeccable, 100% cotton with 320 thread-count, which are azo and formaldehyde free and have not be treated with or contaminated by lead, dyes or any other chemical finishes.

The price range for a single duvet cover and pillow case varies between £45 and £60, according to the retailer.
