Children are being invited to design their dream futuristic bedroom as part of a new competition.

Glasswells, a family-run department store, is launching the Future Dreams Bedroom Design Competition to encourage creativity and imagination amongst youngsters.

The competition invites children to create designs featuring innovative furniture, smart technology, and creative layouts.

Celebrating its 80th anniversary, Glasswells is planning a year filled with special events and exclusive savings across every department.

Entries can be submitted in various formats, including hand-drawn sketches, digital artwork, or mixed media, with a short description of the futuristic features.

There will be one winner each from Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich, who will receive a day out at a theme park.

Second place winners will get a £25 Glasswells toy shop gift card.

The deadline for submissions is July 19, with winners to be announced on July 24. View the submission form here and email your designs to competition@glasswells.co.uk. For more information visit Glasswells' website.

Glasswells, which started as a small family business selling second-hand furniture in 1946, is now the largest home department store in East Anglia.

Led by Paul Glasswell, the grandson of founder Jerry Glasswell, the business continues to focus on craftsmanship and customer service.

From exhibiting at local trade fairs in the 1950s to opening high street stores across West Suffolk, Glasswells has grown alongside the homes it helps furnish.

Its flagship home department stores in Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich offer a modern shopping experience, with a range of products available both in-store and online.

The store's Place to Eat restaurants in both towns are popular with shoppers, offering freshly prepared dishes using local produce.

Glasswells also provides a professional interior design service, helping customers with everything from a full home revamp to a tricky room.

To enter the Future Dreams Bedroom Design Competition, children must have parental permission and submit their designs via the specified store or email.
