I used to think decorating my kid’s room meant new furniture, fancy lights, and a Pinterest board full of things I’d never actually buy. But you know what changed everything? A doona cover. Yep. One doona cover.
My daughter’s room was starting to feel a bit... babyish. She’d outgrown the fairy stickers and was starting to ask for “cooler” things her words, not mine. So I let her scroll through the kids bedding range on Little Squiffy. She lit up when she saw the rainbow tie-dye set. “That one. It’s ME.”
From Blah to Bright — in One Night
When it arrived, she helped me put it on her bed straight away. It completely transformed her room. Suddenly the whole space looked fresher, brighter, more her. She even started keeping it tidy just so the doona looked good. A small miracle, honestly.
I didn’t expect such a big change from something so simple. But giving her that little slice of control — her own design, her name on it, her choice — made all the difference.
It’s Not Just About Looks
Of course, it helps that the fabric is soft (no scratchy bits!), easy to wash, and has survived more than one juice spill. But what I love most is the joy it brought her. Her room became a place she wanted to be — to read, to play, to unwind.
And let’s be real, if a doona cover helps with bedtime battles? I’ll take five.
Why I’m Sticking with Little Squiffy
- They’ve got loads of fun designs for every age and personality
- You can personalise most sets with your kid’s name
- It’s Aussie-owned and ships fast (big win!)
- The quality holds up wash after wash — I’ve already bought a second set
Thinking of Refreshing Your Kid’s Room?
Don’t overthink it. Start with the bedding. It’s the biggest thing in the room, it sets the tone, and it can turn bedtime into something a little more fun (for both of you).
If you’ve got a kid who’s starting to grow into their own personality — sporty, artsy, obsessed with dinosaurs — there’s something for them at Little Squiffy. It’s a simple change that actually makes a difference.
