Sports shrine

Jane Graining finds a range of inspiring ideas for creating the perfect room for a sport-mad son or daughter If your kids have a passion for a particular sport or sporting activity – be it cricket, tennis, horse riding, swimming or football – the chances are that they will be keen to decorate their playroom or bedroom with furnishings and accessories to remind them of it.

Pedlars always has great accessories. Its hand-painted models of football teams look stylish lined up on a shelf or windowsill, and its football legend cards, with a different football hero on each and a pitch on the reverse, would make a terrific display on a pinboard.

You could also slot these cards into the clear plastic pockets of a Clippykit pencil case, exercise book cover or lampshade.
