On the walls
If your walls need decorating, or are just plain boring, you could take some bold steps with murals (top right). LifeEd Direct stocks a range of bright, appliqued murals made from vinyl-covered nylon, so they can be easily wiped clean. The murals depict very simple designs, such as a flower, boy and girl outlines and a ladybird, and range in size from 78 x 78cm to 182 x 182cm. The murals come with grommets for hanging and are priced from 49.95.

Making regular changes to the entrance area lets people know they are in a stimulating environment, and it doesn't have to be a costly commitment. The children's work, along with festive and seasonal celebrations, plays a big part in brightening and enlightening the area, and you can provide cohesion to displays and link themes with decorative borders. The Hands On catalogue has a selection of borders, with designs including Welcome (above); Butterflies; Fish; Smiley Faces and Umbrellas. Each border measures 875(l) x 65(w) mm and is priced 2.99.
