… or from the ceilingIn this quaint children’s room, a blue feathered dream catcher looks lovely hanging from the ceiling, along with a string of bright rosettes. Suspended by the bed, these traditional Native American ornaments are said to catch bad dreams. Why not make one with the kids – it’s a lovely project for a rainy day. All you need is a willow hoop, beads, string, feathers and your imagination.

Hang up homemade buntingThis child’s bedroom is crammed with colourful banners and pendants, but you don’t have to leave all the fun to kids’ rooms. Any colourful ephemera you’ve been hoarding can also be strung up as bunting, like these rosettes. Native American dreamcatchers have found a new audience recently, and both faithful and modern versions make beautiful additions to bedrooms. Create your own dreamcatcher using colourful yarns or embroidery threads wrapped around a wooden embroidery hoop, or keep it natural with un-dyed string and real feathers. It’ll look great in a boho style room.Hang your heart on bunting
