My ideal room

Draw a picture of an empty room like this on a large piece of paper:

Then decorate it to make your ideal room. You could draw the furniture or cut out pictures from a magazine and stick them in your room.

What room will you choose – a bedroom, a lounge, a kitchen?

What special objects will you put in your room? You could add a photograph of a special person or a pet, or a cuddly toy?

What colour/s will your room be?

What would you like the room to smell of? Flowers, soap, candles, cooking?

At The Archives, we have photographs of colourful textiles from all around the world:

After you have printed the images, you can cut them up and stick them in your ideal room to make colourful wallpaper or carpet.
