I am also looking for the same thing - did you have any luck finding decoration artwork for kids? I am looking for wallpaper borders...... there is a place called Spotlight in Kowloon Bay and B&Q and I will check it out to find out if they do such things.... frustrating!
Please support our advertisers:
I recently got a catalogue from Toys Club which advertises decorative wall decals - reusable with no damage to surface. In the ad there are pictures of "Cars", "Disney princesses", "Wiggles" and "Thomas the tank" and "Curious George" Both individual stickers and wallpaper borders.
Not sure whether there are other designs available.
There are 2 stores - 901 Horizon Plaza, Ap Lei Chau, and 15/F, 8 Queen's Rd, Central
You can order online at www.itoysclub.com
Art Deco makes very nice children's furniture - and will copy any picture you have. However, they are not cheap.

I too have spent months looking for nice kids furniture. Indeed Art Deco is very expensive - I was quoted 22K for a trundle bed and chest of drawers!! Some one told me recently there are some bed shops that can make the same stuff for 1/3 of the price on a road out towards the old Kai Tak Airport. I'm still waiting to get more details.

Just to answer question 1
Try www.wallies.com
I have used them many times to decorate the children's rooms over the years. They always deliver swiftly and I have never had any problems with the quality of the product. Take a good look at what they have on the website, you can really do some special things.
Alternatively, I saw some Princess borders at Spotlight, but they seem so popular in Hong Kong, it is nice to get something a bit different.
question 2.
Ikea have a selection of children's bunks - not sure if that is what you are after though.
Once you have decided on your border or cut outs, you can head to "The cotton house" in the Central lanes and get a lovely selection of cottons to mix and match for the bed linnen.
Hope this helps.

we got a bunk bed (solid pine, no paint) from JADE RATTAN for HK$1900. there's the regular 2 bed bunk, plus a pull-out under the lower bunk which also has 3 drawers. it's unpainted, tho i suppose you could have it painted (tho probably not by them).
Also check out the chinese furniture shops (i mean local bed/sofa/kitchen furniture shops -- not the antique shops) ... there's loads out in the NT ... i've seen Thomas bunks, Star Ferry Beds, cruise ship tall beds with ladders adn slides ... and tehy'ave all been less than 5k ... tho "what paint" they use i have no idea ...
i do know for painting your walls you CAN find non-toxic children's room paint --- we bought a can from our local "paint shop" adn it was from Japan. They had a US brand there too --- sorry, again this was in the NT ... adn was over 4yrs ago so can't tell you the name of the paint

I went to MegaBox to SpotLight and B&Q. They did have some selection of wall stickers and bedding although quite limited..... but lots of arts and crafts stuff for kids in Spotlight.
Does anyone know if you can get childrens bedding material in Shenzhen to get them tailor made?

I have heard of German brand "Ecotec"by Ecozmo in Wanchai. Google for their webpage. not sure of what paint is like.
Wrt furniture, I am looking too. Indigo do beds but very expensive. Has anyone tried mothercare here in HK? Going to look in IKEA tomorrow. Wrt decorations and borders, I got some in the UK when I was last there - borders and stickers don't take up much room in luggage so if you have any guests coming - do a google search and then get them to bring them out for you. I am going to get blackout blind and toybox made up here in HK - nice designs for unisex nursery - jungle, underwater, butterly, spots themes in Aplei chau - GQ designs. Friends have also used New Bedford Interiors on Queens Road East for curtains and soft furnishings. Aplei chau also has rug shops but not really tried to buy a rug there so not sure how expensive.
found with my son's room I mixed blue gingham - lampshade, bedding border, curtains with car and rocket theme with white furniture which means everything doesnt have to match exactly and should hopefully not be dated. Now he is 2, I intend on buying him Wiggles, Bob the builder and thomas items - eg sleepover bed, throw etc as he is such a big fan! You can only dictate taste for a short while I am afraid

just googled Jade Rattan ... follow this website http://www.jaderattan.com.hk/flash.asp
they do have an English side. There seems to be a few (not as many tho) shops on teh island.
HOnestly, if you don't mind pine furniture, their beds are fabulous (tho buy your own mattress elsewhere as theirs are hard as anything!!) --- you can get a matreess custom made (to your dimensions) at SeaHorse (am sure other places do so too) ...
DS's bed will easily last him till he's an teenager. both my husband and i can sleep (comfortably) ... they "say" even the top bunk can support an adult, but i'm too nervous to sleep up high (dh has tho) ...
RE: bedding for thomas, etc ... try JUSCO sales ... at least the shop in SHATIN has a few semi annual sidewalk sales whcih include bedding. I've bought a beding set of thomas& one of tigger there for less than HK600ea (included pillow case, fitted sheet, duvet and duvet cover --- okay, yes, fitted sheet is a bit too big, as lower bunk is slightly more narrow, but it still works)
for the other "local funtirue shops" ... at least in Tai Po ... just wander around the old tai po market (square). it's about a block in from the Catholic church (about a 5+min walk from KCR). there's a number of furnture shops in that square --- and if you look in the back, tehy have children's furniture -- and catalogues. I never bought from here, as i wanted a bed that would last my son's different tastes and i figured a cute "train or bus" bed would likely only get us maybe 5 or 6years. But i do know someone who had a fairycastle bed made in one of these shops. VERY nice!!! and DEFINITELY NOT at the prices you're looking at from Ap Lei Chau or other island (expat) shops ... i'm pretty sure you can have custom made here too ... just at a higher price (but AGAIN MUCH less than what you're quoting above!! ... more likely under HK$5000) ...
for my son's bed we left it unpainted, and just added decals to the walls around, and have those funky wooden letters (his name) stuck on it ...
BUT i canNOT vouch for what kind of paint these other shops use ...

Be careful about the paint from non-international furniture suppliers. Ikea, Italian, Japanese brands do test for the lead. Local suppliers often do not. You should ask for the certificates from these companies. Honey Berrie in Ocean Terminal has Japanese kid's furniture; very durable and long lasting but not cheap like Ikea. Wall borders, decals can be found in the Lockhart Road decorating stores; cheaper than B & Q.

Hi,
I recently decorated my childrens bedroom (under the sea theme) and had terrible problems finding decent wall decals - I also did their bathroom as well. I ended up painting myself using dulux from a paint shop in Wanchai and getting decals online (from Aus and US) just from searching and have ended up with some great variety. Bumps to babes also sells two (sea and jungle) versions of wall decals which are good if that's the theme.
I used Luxhome in Wanchai to make the bunk beds as I wanted white and couldn't find it anywhere in the style I wanted. It wasn't cheap though!
I got my curtains made to match the wall colour from James Curtains in Happy Valley as they make them really well and have a good range (again not cheap, but I can reuse them)]

Hi, I went to 5/F Hitec Centre and got children's beds custom made. I wanted something a bit more durable than Ikea and have got great sturdy white beds made that will take them through to teens. Had custom trundle beds put underneath as well as extended the bed length to 78". Got the cupboards to match and also got my two other teenagers complete bedroom suites there at fraction of price you would pay on Queen's Road East. Now I am looking for curtains and bedding and have been to Shenzhen (Shop 3066) - got all the European fabrics there so will get all curtains and bedding made in Shenzhen including curtain rails and they will deliver to us in HK.

Bumps to Babes (Horizon Plaza and Pedder Building) do a really nice (but small) range of children's furniture by a UK company called ASPACE. It looks very good quality (I've seen it in the Horizon Plaza store, not sure if the Pedder building have it too).

Hi, go to Morewell Furniture on 5th Floor. They didn't have toddler beds but they had lovely white girly beds in sturdy wood that are very pretty with stunning matching cupboards and drawer sets. They can tailor the size for you.

Try a company called AZ+B ( Antiques Zhuhai + beyond)
they do custom made furniture from any catalogue, quality of their work is great and prices are good too. They also do Antique & Modern shopping tours to different places in China. The modern one is an export furniture mall and you can buy at wholesale prices. I was shocked at the selection of goods available.
They have kids furniture there as well. quite a good range. much cheaper than looking at the company's you have been looking at.
Here's their details www.antiqueszhuhai.com
