Create a Dreamy, Creative Space: The Best of GLTC For Your Child’s Bedroom
If you’re looking to design a vibrant and functional creative corner in your child’s bedroom, Great Little Trading Company (GLTC) has a range of British-designed furniture and storage that delivers both style and substance. Here’s why GLTC’s Junior Whittington collection and Sling Bookcase make the perfect foundation for your little one’s imagination station.
Junior Whittington Desk
Junior Whittington Desk – GLTC
A true hero product, the Junior Whittington Desk is purpose-built for inspiring creativity and learning. Recommended by The Independent as a ‘Best Buy’, this cleverly sized desk is perfectly proportioned for younger children (ages 3–8) just starting their school journey. With sturdy solid wood and MDF construction, it combines a spacious writing surface with storage shelves, a corkboard for pinning artwork or reminders, a handy drawer, and an opening for cables—ideal for budding artists as well as homework beginners.
What makes the Whittington Desk shine in a bedroom creative zone is its thoughtful blend of form and function. The fresh, bright white finish fits seamlessly into any décor, while the robust, child-friendly design ensures it can withstand years of crafts, colouring, and projects. Worried your child will outgrow it? Simply add the optional “Whittington Long Legs” to extend its life into later childhood.

Pair the desk with the matching Junior Whittington Chair, designed as its perfect companion. The chair is crafted to be sturdy and comfortable, supporting your child’s posture during creative sessions and study alike. Its timeless design mirrors the desk, forming a cohesive, stylish look—inspiring focus and making “work” feel special. This set enables your child to have their very own, right-sized workspace—an empowering touch for developing independence and a love of learning.
Sling Bookcase (Natural)
No creative nook is complete without easy access to books. GLTC’s Sling Bookcase in Natural brings organization and accessible inspiration to your child’s environment. Its sling-style design lets little hands freely browse, choose, and tidy books, encouraging a lifelong love of reading and giving children the autonomy to curate their own collection. The natural finish pairs beautifully with any decorating style and coordinates perfectly with the Whittington range.
The bookcase’s compact footprint means it tucks neatly beside a desk or bed, keeping the space open and airy while showcasing those all-important storybooks and reference tomes.

These pieces are made with the realities of family life in mind: they are robust enough for play, easy to assemble, safe, and simply beautiful to look at. Together, they foster an organized, welcoming atmosphere that encourages children to draw, write, read, and dream—making everyday moments a little bit more magical.
