The interior design of a children's room is not an easy task. Not only do you need to take into account all the needs and wishes of the child, you also need to take into account the interests of the parents and ensure the compatibility of the children's room with the rest of the apartment or house. But anyway, it's nice work. In this article, we will review and organize best ideas for children's design.

Room layout

For the needs of the nursery, it is desirable to allocate the largest and most illuminated room, because space and light are very important for the development of the child. Big square is also needed because in the children's room, unlike the others, the largest number of functional areas - a recreation area, a work area, a storage area and game Zone.

There are many techniques for separating such zones, from very simple and requiring a minimum amount of financial investment, to complex and expensive design solutions. The most common methods are separation using various color schemes, with the help of the construction of various podiums, with the help of various floor covering, with help decorative partitions etc. The most commonly used combination various ways. It should be noted that for a children's room it is undesirable to use zoning using a system of partitions and podiums. The erection of podiums increases the risk of injury, and the partition system unnecessarily overloads the rooms, which is unacceptable for a nursery.

For a child's room, you should choose a finish that will be resistant to dirt, will not collect dust and which will not create difficulties when cleaning. So, for example, it is best to choose wallpaper from washable options, and it is undesirable to use a floor with a long pile.

To protect yourself from constant considerable financial expenses for a children's room, we advise you to purchase solid and solid furniture that can last long time. And create the atmosphere of "childhood" with the help of various accessories and decorative elements. And although your one-time spending will be greater than with other options, but in the long run, such a strategy will save a lot of money. The only piece of furniture where such an approach is undesirable is a children's bed, psychologists prove that a bed for growth has a depressing effect on a child.

Girl's room design

Girls are usually sensual and romantic by nature almost from infancy. Of course, in each individual case, when choosing an interior design for a nursery, there are some nuances, this is the layout of the room, and the characteristics of the girl’s character and many other factors, but there are also universal tips:

• Use beautiful compositions and accessories. Girls are very fond of accessories such as hearts, bows, flowers, decorative pillows, various soft toys. Make them an integral part of the interior.
• Don't stereotype. Pink color The girly nursery is already so well-worn that it should probably be avoided rather than used as a base color. Experiment with pastels color palette, additionally enter bright and original accents and you will get an individual and original children's room.
• Consult with your daughter. Girls tend to design more than boys. From a very young age, the girl already has her own individual ideas about how her room should look like.
• There should be a lot of light. In addition to natural lighting, artificial lighting should also be used as much as possible. Consider workplace lighting dressing table, closet, etc.

Boy's room design

Boys are usually more mischievous and agile than girls, so there should be enough space in the children's room for active games, where he could safely throw out irrepressible energy. In the guy's room, functionality, practicality and manufacturability come first. One of the most suitable styles for decorating the boys room is a modern style.

The boy is alien to romance, in the way that the girl likes. The guys are close in spirit to the special romance of sea travel, various equipment, sports, etc. Actually, such design styles will be the most suitable for a children's room.

Room for two children

As you understood from the previous sections, designing a children's room is not an easy task. And if the child is not alone, then the task becomes even more complicated because a number of factors need to be foreseen: the gender and age of each child, characteristics of character and interests, an even division of functional areas between children, and a number of others.

With interests and characters, perhaps it will be easiest to foresee this in pieces of furniture and things that each of the children uses. A much more serious task in dividing the room is that in addition to placing everything necessary for each child, it is important not to overload the room with furniture and accessories so that there is room for games and physical education.

It should be borne in mind that, for example, a closet for storing clothes is more important for a girl, so it can be divided a little in favor of the girl, but when equipping a sports area, take into account the interests of the boy more.

The photographs below clearly illustrate this.

Choosing a design depending on the age of the child

For a child 2-3 years old

When planning interior design for a child of this age, you should rely on your own opinion. Surely the baby has already developed the first habits and inclinations - beat this when decorating the room.

At this age, the baby is already extremely mobile, but at the same time very careless. One of the cornerstones of design should be safety. Sharp corners and traumatic design elements should be avoided. Environmental safety is no less important. Try to get by with finishing and building materials natural origin.

For a child 4-7 years old

A new element of furniture that should appear at this age is the work table. Behind him, the child can be creative and slowly prepare for school. Too strict division into functional areas for a child of this age, perhaps, it will be redundant, but it is best to teach him where to play, where to sleep, where to store toys.

For a child aged 9-12

It seems to a child of this age that he is already an adult and independent, so he will want to take a direct part in planning the interior of his room. This should not be prevented, but it is also impossible to completely give the initiative away. His circle of interests can change every week, or even more often. And what he liked madly yesterday, tomorrow may not be relevant. Therefore, gently direct the child's thoughts in the direction you need, without leaving his ideas without attention, of course.

If a child takes an active part in various competitions and olympiads, hang awards, medals and certificates on the wall, he will be very pleased.

For teenager

Adolescence is one of the most important and at the same time the most difficult periods of life, both for you and for the child. This is a period of active formation of personality.

Regarding the interior of the room, it is just right to change the furniture from the "children's" version to the "adult". At a minimum, you will have to change the bed and desk. Give the teenager the right to choose the furniture himself.

Children's room styles

Let's look at the most popular styles for decorating the interior of a children's room.

Classical

The classic is invariably popular at all times, but be careful when choosing it for the design of a children's room. After all, most likely you rely on your own preferences, but maybe the child wants a more “childish” design option for his room. Also critically evaluate the area of ​​​​the children's room - classic style not the best solution for small spaces.

If the child shares your tastes, the size of the room allows, feel free to start planning the upcoming renovation. A feature of the style is massiveness and solidity, but this does not mean that the child should feel like a visitor to the museum.

Modern style

This style will appeal to both parents and children. Art Nouveau is not characterized by sharp corners and protrusions, all lines are smooth, furniture is rounded, which means that in such a room the child will be safe.

The color palette can be almost anything, but it is better to choose from “warm” shades and there should be a smooth transition between different colors. Art Nouveau is characterized by the use natural materials to the maximum.

Minimalism

Even from the name, the main essence of the style is clear - the minimum amount of furniture and accessories and simple concise forms. Ideal for a room of any exchange, but especially for small nurseries, this will save more for the child free space for games or exercise.

Minimalism is a very flexible style that allows, as the child grows up, to remove some elements, and on the contrary to add some.

Ethno style

This style is not very common in our country, so this fact will additionally add points to the children's room, in addition to originality and exoticism. This style will allow the child to better understand the culture of the country whose ethnic group is chosen to decorate the room. However, in no case should you impose it, it will suit him if the child is really interested in history.

Country

Also quite a rare design style for our country. Country has a number of undeniable advantages - simplicity, environmental friendliness, as well as many options and variations of incarnations. It is also an opportunity to decorate the interior of the room in an original way with a limited budget.

High tech

This style is an ultra-modern trend in design. The style is characterized by clear lines, "geometric" logic of furniture placement, an abundance of glass and mirror surfaces, the use of expensive modern finishing materials and modern household appliances. All these features make it one of the most expensive styles, both for decorating a room initially and for keeping it up to date. But if you are not afraid of financial expenses, you will receive an original and stylish interior that your child is sure to love.

The choice of curtains for the children's room

In addition to the fact that you need to choose curtains based on general style rooms, there are still such nuances of choice:

• Material. In the nursery, it is necessary to purchase curtains and fabrics of natural origin.
• Mounting method. When buying curtains, pay attention to how secure the fastening is. In addition to curtains, a cornice must also have a secure fastening; on a medium-sized window, fixation is required in at least three places.
• Color spectrum. Regardless of the style of the nursery, give preference light shades. Psychologists strongly discourage the use of so-called "solid" colors for decorating a children's room.

Furniture selection

In the children's room it is worth choosing furniture from environmentally friendly clean materials. Wood and metal are considered absolutely environmentally friendly. However, metal furniture in the children's room is not desirable for safety reasons, and natural wood far from affordable for everyone. Therefore, it is permissible to choose veneered or laminated furniture made of MDF or chipboard. Before buying, make sure that the furniture is certified, and its use will not harm the health of the child.

Additionally, you should pay attention to the following aspects:

• Mobility. Cleaning in the child's room must be done often and thoroughly, including under furniture. Therefore, it will not be superfluous if the furniture in the children's room is equipped with wheels. Also, in this way, you will save energy if you want to rearrange the room.
• Possibility of transformation. If possible, choose furniture that combines several functions. Thus, you can save more free space.
• Closet filling. The closet should not only be spacious, but with the help of appropriate filling, it should compactly and conveniently accommodate all the clothes of the child.
• Safety. Children are usually restless and careless. To prevent possible injury, purchase furniture without sharp corners. Furniture must also be stable so that the child cannot tip it over.

Choosing a bed for a nursery

The primary need for any child is healthy sleep. A separate room for a child is first needed to ensure comfortable rest and sleep. Baby cribs are the most different types: bed with sides, bunk bed, transformer bed, cradle for a newborn baby. In addition, the crib must be functionally and visually appropriate for the age of the child. For small room an excellent solution would be a loft bed, due to its installation, you can expand the play area or study area.

The quality of a mattress is critically important for the spine of a young, fast-growing organism, so an orthopedic mattress is needed. This will most positively affect the formation of a healthy skeleton and quality, healthy sleep.

The second aspect to which attention should be paid when choosing a mattress is the properties of the material from which it is made. Here, the choice is best to stop on natural, breathable materials that will allow you to comfortably relax at any time of the year, without freezing or overheating.

Another important detail for a mattress is its cover. The main requirements for the cover are: hypoallergenicity, naturalness, ease of washing, antistatic effect (should not accumulate static electricity), ease of removal and putting on the mattress. When washing the cover, follow the manufacturer's recommendations (there must be a label indicating the washing mode), otherwise the cover may “sit down”, lose its initial properties and not fit on the mattress.

Desktop selection

Many mistakenly believe that a table for a child is needed only at school age. This is far from the case - starting from the age of six months, when the child can already sit on his own, at the children's table the baby can eat, play, learn to write, sculpt, glue various applications and do many other things. Modern children's tables often have straps with which the child can be fastened so that he does not fall.

Also, by accustoming a child to learn and play many games at the table, you will save the rest of the room from "natural" disasters - spilled paint, the ubiquitous sticky plasticine, wallpaper, painted by a young designer ... Any parents can easily continue and supplement this list. Children's table to some extent disciplines the young fidget and helps him prepare for school.

Your baby is about to emerge from infancy. He no longer hangs around the clock on his mother, his activity rolls over. Toys are evenly distributed throughout the house and constantly underfoot, and happy parents regularly struggle with " rock art". A familiar situation, isn't it?

Or here's another - the baby calmed down in his corner, literally for 10 minutes. Parents with experience, of course, will immediately orient themselves in the key “wait for trouble”, and beginners in this troublesome business may miss the offspring’s experiments.

How to make sure that the house of a little man is surrounded by a friendly and developing world? Of course, to organize his own volume - his own children's room. Let's get creative and see how to do it?

1.Panels or walls for painting

Any cub, regardless of age, one day will take a pencil or a felt-tip pen in his hand. You should not limit him in this, maybe he is the future Van Gogh?

Make one wall in the room specifically for drawing, or put a regular double-sided easel with a roll of paper and crayons. This does not guarantee the absence of drawings on expensive wallpaper or paint, but it will teach the baby that drawing is a whole lesson with changing paper, washing the board and pleasantly showing the result to mom.

By the way if the board is not enough for a child's violent fantasy, duplicate the easel plain sheets attached to the wall. Or even select a piece of the wall "for slaughter". Support talent, and other walls will be safer. And today it is not difficult to paint or paste over a meter of the wall again.

2. Sports corner

Everything is simple here. A growing body needs movement. Perfect option– Swedish wall with extension to rings, horizontal bar and safety mat on the floor.

If the child has not yet grown up to conscious safety, but has already learned to climb up to the ceiling, just remove a couple of steps from the stairs for a while. The same applies to the armchair.

By the way, it is very likely that you, by setting Swedish wall, you will also regularly hang on it. After all, stretching and simple physical education are also useful for parents ...

3. Furniture for study and sleep

Regardless of the size of the space that you are ready to allocate to the child, it should have a strong, spacious and comfortable bed from the first months of your child's life. Better if made to order, exactly the style of the nursery.

Later, you can add containers for storing toys, a desk, and maybe a second one to it. sleeping place for a younger brother or sister. There are a lot of options for children's furniture. There are extremely budget and win-win options from IKEA, but if you want to vaccinate a child from an early age good taste contact furniture professionals.

By the way furniture for the nursery must be exceptionally durable. Otherwise, a couple of jumps on the bed, and ... a trip to the store for a new sofa.

4. Play area with transformation and quickly removed volumes

Wardrobes and drawers in the nursery are the quintessence of the child's world. This is the repository of his secrets, a property closed from adults. We need to make sure that putting toys in their places also becomes part of the game.

Big drawer under the bed - good decision“clean up” in the nursery in one motion. Large plastic boxes or containers, baskets, even ottomans stuffed with soft toys, all this can be simply placed in the room, or you can hide it in a spacious and very beautiful closet.

By the way, in the case when the dimensions of the nursery are cramped, some of the toys can be placed directly on the wall. How? See next paragraph.

5. Every surface needs to work

Walls

Feel free to paint the nursery's walls different colors. Harmony of shades contributes to the development of taste. Even if the nursery is just a part common room, you can highlight it with color, which will emphasize the isolation of the habitat small dick families.

Show your imagination, decorate the wall with a tree - a shelf. Or simply place soft fabric pockets on the wall. There are also a lot of wall-mounted educational systems, from sets of lock doors for kids to talking multiplication tables for schoolchildren.

Ceiling

The ceiling can also be painted in an adventure or fairy tale theme.

If you are not ready for such a radical change in the image of the apartment, buy a regular starry sky night lamp. Stars, albeit man-made, it's so romantic...

The floor in the nursery should be safe, warm and hygienic.

By the way, it is useful for children to be barefoot at home - this is both hardening and correct formation feet. Range of solutions – from ideal cork, to quality laminate or smooth wood planks.

6. Lamps for entertainment, work, nightlights

The light in the nursery should be varied - general with adjustable brightness, local - for favorite activities, subdued for reading a book before bedtime. There are a lot of options for lamps, but one thing is clear - a single chandelier is definitely not enough. We'll have to think about the whole lighting system. And do not save on sockets by setting the maximum number of them even during repairs. The child will grow, furniture, electrical appliances and lamps will move. Why do you need meters of extension cords?

Night light is an individual matter. It is often easier for babies to sleep with light, but psychologists say that the natural conditions for human sleep are darkness.

By the way, that's where the night light should definitely settle, so it's in the toilet. Then the midnight trips of the child to the potty and back will not be a path into darkness for him and ... will quickly teach him not to pee in bed.

7. Thematic decorations in accordance with the hobbies of the child

Your child has accumulated fifty soft toys and you don't know how to get rid of them? Sew or buy a bag with a zipper - that's the ottoman ready, inside of which this whole zoo will settle.

Another thing is knights in armor, cars or dinosaurs, rubber bouncing balls, or a collection of outlandish shells brought from the sea. Why not arrange them visually - in a flat showcase or shelf?

By the way, such a move will greatly please the guests, who must definitely come to your child. Perhaps it will even teach you to share the most valuable exhibit with your beloved friend. Well, or protect your "gold" from immodest encroachments.

8. Guests? No problem!

However, a flock of kids left in the nursery for half an hour can nullify a week-long effort to restore order. This means that it is necessary to immediately limit the circle of what is subjected to an intensified defeat of the gang of rabid backbiters, and hide everything else. For example, in the same drawer under the bed.

Children's room must be multifaceted in terms of interior design. For parents, here are a few basic tasks that must be completed in order for both the child and his mom and dad to be confident in the safety and comfort of the room.

Nevertheless, there are often cases when it is not possible to avoid common mistakes in the design of children's rooms, so we propose to work on the mistakes and correct obvious, as well as hidden flaws.

1. Cold light

For any living space, lighting is especially important, but in a nursery, low-quality light is unforgivable. If you do not feel the atmosphere of comfort for a long time, it may not be the layout or texture of the upholstery, but the cold white artificial light that comes from the lamps of a chandelier, spot or floor lamp.

Correctly:

When choosing lamps for lighting fixtures in a nursery, not only power, but also tonality plays a decisive role: the light should be warm, with a yellowish undertone. It is good if the lamps are equipped with a special device for regulating the intensity of the luminous flux - a dimmer.

2. Game environment

A room designed for your toddler or preschooler does not have to overflow at all bright colors. If in the arrangement and decorative design the interior of the nursery to use flashy shades in abundance, the space will become like game room in the amusement park. In turn, such an oversight will lead to the fact that it will be difficult for children to focus, for example, on classes, study or recreation.

1

Correctly:

We tirelessly recommend choosing light basic shades that will form the basis of the color scheme of the room: sand, cream, golden, pastel shades, natural colors. All of them will be an excellent background for brighter objects, a large number toys, playhouse and other accessories.

3. Expensive wallpaper

Parents who strive to create an atmosphere of luxury from the very birth of a child can be envied or advised not to rush into choosing expensive wallpaper or wall panels. Silk-screened or realistic painting is best left until the child is old enough to appreciate high quality and the value of such materials.

Correctly:

Stylish and beautiful interior today you can create without using precious woods, expensive fabrics or wallpaper. The walls in the nursery where he lives Small child at the age of 2 years, it is better to simply paint, decorate with polyurethane moldings or liquid wallpaper. In the case of pollution, so frequent in children's rooms, it will not be difficult to clean the surface.

4. Wrong bed position

A crib should not be placed close to a window, due to the fact that drafts often occur in this area. You should also not place a bed near the door for the same reason, and because it is more difficult for a child to fall asleep in the evening if there is noise in other rooms.

Correctly:

A bed for a nursery is essential furniture, because a full and healthy sleep is necessary for development and growth. Therefore, the sleeping place should be placed in the center, with the headboard or sidewall to the wall, as far as possible from the entrance and the window.

5. Tall or deep cabinets

Unless the storage system is complete reliable ladder giving access to upper shelves- its presence is not entirely justified when it comes to the room of small children. Toddlers find it difficult to get the right thing if it is high or too deep on the shelf and there is a danger of overturning an unstable cabinet or falling from a height.

2

Correctly:

Until the child has reached a certain age and height, you should not place large furniture in the room, which, in the end, will not be convenient for the owner of the nursery. Here, each item should serve the children, and create Better conditions, whether it's a closet for a wardrobe, or a rack for books and toys.

6. Carpet

Soft and warm, carpet is not enough good option for flooring where small children live, create and misbehave. Rest assured: none detergents you will not be able to remove all stains from spilled paints, plasticine, felt-tip pens, or plants brought from the street.

Correctly:

For the floor in the nursery, select practical laminate or linoleum, on which you can lay a compact warm rug in the play area. Such an instance is much easier to clean and the hassle of cleaning the room will be less.

7. Heavy curtains

Textile textiles are different, so what is appropriate in an adult's bedroom is completely unsuitable for a nursery. Imagine what hide-and-seek games for kids behind thick curtains on a heavy cornice can turn out to be. In addition, a similar option for window decoration in this room will be extremely impractical.

Correctly:

If you hang curtains, then always from a light fabric that does not require a massive cornice. And one of the most good ways window decoration for today is Roman lifting mechanism which looks stylish, easy to use and quite safe.

8. Dark workplace

If parents notice changes in their child's posture or their unwillingness to do homework, it may be due to wrong location desk in the room. It is important to remember that it is impossible to install a desk or desktop against a wall perpendicular to the window, even if sunlight enters the room in excess.

Correctly:

The best place for the work area is the area directly in front of the window, as the child does not have to strain his eyesight and lean low over the table during classes.

9. Stereotypes

You should not think that the boy's room must certainly be decorated in blue, gray or red tones, and the girl's room should be all shades of pink. This is just as wrong as using purely “childish” decor or pieces of furniture in the interior.

Correctly:

If this is your desire, then the choice in favor of caramel or heavenly tones is, of course, possible. However, we should not forget that there are other, no less beautiful shades, as well as forms and textures that are able to emphasize the individuality, character and taste of a growing person.

For example, in a boy's room, you can use a graphic pattern in the form of flowers or birds, it looks great in combination with dark shades and natural textures metal or wood.

10. Unequal opportunity

It often happens that one nursery is designed for two children of different sex or age. At the same time, when the elder and youngest child, inevitably there is a sense of ownership and competition for the best chair, shelf or bed by the window. Often, parents consciously distribute the space not equally, but with the expectation that the older child has already grown up and he no longer needs this or that thing, and vice versa.

Correctly:

As far-sighted and far-sighted parents, you should never encourage similar situations but to bring up in children the best feelings, tolerance and respect.

The children's room should be distributed so that each of the children, regardless of age or gender, is in equal conditions.

For example, place beds on either side of a window, put a couple of chests of drawers along opposite walls, and organize two workspaces according to the age and needs of the little ones.

Decoration of the children's room difficult task, sometimes even driving into a corner, especially if you have several children, and only one room can be allocated. After all, it is necessary to take into account not only their preferences, but also the specifics of child psychology at different ages, and at the same time not go beyond your own budget. The task set seems, at first glance, impossible, but there are many ideas on how to create a very comfortable, cozy and harmonious children's area, skillfully applying the recommendations of designers and psychologists.

Let's start the design and planning, taking into account the age of the child

If you are creating a room for a newborn, then the surrounding interior details should be comfortable not only for the baby, but also for the parents. Baby changing table for comfortable and safe care, desk lamp With soft light, a chest of drawers for things and shelves for hygiene products - all this must be provided for.

If the child is between 2 and 6 years old then try to organize more free space. At this age, children prefer not only to play on the floor, but also just to run, slide down a hill or build tents, houses, wigwams.

Be sure to consider the gender and interests of the child, at this age he already has his own idea of ​​\u200b\u200bbeauty and is more interested in something.

Of course, if your baby really loves pink, blue, purple or red, you can decorate part of the interior area or buy in this color. bed sheets and curtains, but the whole room create in bright colors is not worth it. Because the wrong color can cause overwork and irritation, as well as pressure on the psyche.

children school age need to provide comfortable spot for study, correctly arranging the table and all the necessary shelves for both stationery and for storing toys or all sorts of little things. Multifunctional drawers will help keep the room in proper order, ridding the interior of the piled-up things.

And you also need to take care not only about spacious wardrobes for things, but also try to highlight space to practice your hobbies. For example, your child likes to draw, select a wall for the realization of his fantasies.

If the room itself or your nerves do not allow you to select an entire wall, then at least the door turn it into a drawing board.

Display children's drawings and crafts prominently so that the child realizes that his creations are appreciated.

Boy-athlete set up a mini gym or design a room in a sports theme.

Suddenly he dreams of becoming a sailor, so make it look like the deck of a ship, where there will be ropes to improve dexterity, a bridge with a steering wheel, a life buoy with binoculars and even an observation tower. This room will definitely make him happy.

In children- teenagers be sure to inquire what they want to see in their room not only for study but also for entertainment. Involve the children in choosing and buying wallpapers, furniture, and all the elements of the interior of their room. This move will save you from further disputes and claims. Also allow children to hang posters of their favorite bands or athletes on the walls or furniture.

If, when designing and planning a nursery, you listen not only to these tips, but also to the wishes of your children, which are often more reasonable and understandable than all our fantasies, the result will be a very original and comfortable room.

In the children's room, be sure to highlight the main areas

No matter what age and gender the child is in their room main areas should be identified: sleep area, play area, study and leisure area, storage area.

1. Designing the sleep area

This is especially important when there is more than one child in the family. In this case, the design and arrangement of a sleeping place is an even more crucial moment, because often this is the only secluded corner for a child.

If there is only one bed, then you can find a lot of location options, most importantly, try to place it not in front of the door, so that it does not catch your eye.

For two children can be used both freestanding and bunk beds, arranging them taking into account the shape and size of the room itself.

Beds for three or more children it is more difficult to attach, but there are also many options and solutions.

If ceilings allow, install bunk bed, this will significantly save space for active games for kids and for comfortable study of older ones.

Or buy retractable furniture , it will help to increase the seating area in a very small room.

Beds can be set up so that some modules go behind others, in which case the free space is also added.

If the room is long, you can sleep arrange in a row by organizing interesting option descent from the second tier.

For those who decide to do the redevelopment of the nursery, there is a very original version – form functional partitions. Such an idea will help to refuse to purchase the beds themselves, only mattresses will be needed.

It would be great if split the beds with the help of barriers original racks or shelves, which will add storage space for books, toys and cute knick-knacks. This is especially important if children are of different ages or genders and one room.

If it is not possible to put extra furniture or make a barrier use a simple curtain or canopy, this will add not only comfort, but also privacy to each bed.

2. Design of the play area

As a rule, it is created for preschoolers, while you can arrange incredible fairy houses and even carriages, tent cities and slides. Here your imagination and wishes of the child can work wonders. The main thing, ensure the right amount functional drawers to store all the toys.

3. Design of the study and leisure area

More older kids need provide a comfortable and multifunctional work area where you can do not only homework, but also sit at the computer. Wherein don't forget to ask how the child himself sees the design of his personal space and in what colors.

Place an instrument in the room on which he plays or music Center, make their space comfortable and multifunctional.

4. Design of the storage area

Children, no matter what age they are, always have a lot of things, toys, books and all sorts of things. Therefore, you need to try to organize this zone so that so that everything fits on shelves or in cabinets. There are many ideas for furniture make it more functional and roomy.

At the same time, without forgetting that if the child is not alone, each should have their own personal bedside table or at least a shelf. There will be fewer scandals and scrapes.

5. Organization of the correct lighting of the children's room

Having finished with the arrangement of furniture in all areas, pay special attention to room lighting. At the same time, it is desirable to make the most of daylight without cluttering the window with furniture or hiding it behind thick curtains.

Place lamps or sconces near the bed, a table lamp should provide additional lighting working area. Don't forget overhead lighting. The children were comfortable and light in every corner of the room.

The final touch to complete the design - curtains. After all, they are also capable of miracles, hiding some of the flaws in the layout of the room or negating all your efforts.

To decorate a children's room do not use very dark and thick curtains, it will make her gloomy and uncomfortable. FROM colors everything is more or less clear. As a rule, it should be similar to the color of the interior of the room itself. Allowed different combinations, as long as they do not irritate and oppress.

If you want to learn how to update the entire interior of your apartment with the help of curtains, then these are for you.

To get started, answer 5 basic questions:

1) Who will live in this room - a boy or a girl?

2) How many years ahead do you want to make repairs?

3) What is your baby's temperament: does he prefer to run and jump, or does he like drawing and quiet games more?

4) Do you plan to give him a brother or sister, and will the second child have a separate room?

5) And finally, will the child have a say in choosing, for example, the color of the walls or furniture, or is it important for you to adhere to a single concept within the entire living space?

Now let's analyze the responses:

Boys and girls are very different: they have different thinking, lifestyle and, of course, toys. In the room, the girl will most likely have more things in general and clothes in particular. In this case, it is better to choose a built-in storage system, rather than a free-standing cabinet. Remember that very soon it will be necessary to place jewelry, children's cosmetics and other accessories somewhere. All this will appear in the nursery much sooner than you might think.

For a boy, it is imperative to provide a special shelf for storing things such as favorite models of cars, microscopes or sports trophies.

The owner of the room can be identified not only by the color of the walls or furniture, but also by the color of the curtains. In any case, they must be sufficiently dense to ensure restful sleep baby.

Children grow up fast. It is ideal, of course, to adapt the room as the child grows. But if the budget does not allow it, then it is better to purchase immediately. modular table and a chair that could "grow" with the child. Provide space for a full-size bed. If the child is already a schoolboy, buy it right away with an adult mattress size, but with the stiffness parameters recommended for children. Such options exist, you will be advised on this issue in any salon of goods for sleep. Remember to place the bed in a warm spot in the room, away from drafts.

The child will spend a lot of time on his own in his room and the safety of the nursery must be provided for even at the stage of its arrangement. We will not mention the environmental friendliness of materials - even with a tight budget, caring parents will not save on this. If the child is active, fidget, loves to jump - avoid multi-tiered structures. For a more relaxed kid who is already more than 6 years old, you can think about purchasing a loft bed, where there will be a sleeping place at the top, and a storage system and a desktop below, at which he can draw and study. This will save a lot of space, but it is important that the ceilings are high enough. A carpet is a must, and the bigger and softer it is, the better, but, of course, if the child does not have allergies.

The addition to the family will put before you certain tasks organizing space. If over time you plan to put the baby in a room with an older brother or sister, you should try to foresee this in advance. In the case of a sleeping place, instead of a single bed, it will be possible to place a bunk bed, offering the second floor to the older child. The second child will also need their own storage system and a table with a chair - try to leave space for them in advance, and also think about how to organize additional lighting. In the case of children of different sexes, part of the girl's room will require more space than for a boy. Plan the space so that it is not very conspicuous and the boy is not offended that he has less space.

If a single decor concept is more important to you than placing a full-sized R2D2 droid model from " star wars”, then even in this case, try to involve the baby in the process of decorating his room. If the child likes heroes computer games or magic fairies try to beat it in the decor. If the child insists, for example, on orange color walls that do not fit into your concept - make a compromise by placing some decor element or a toy in this color. In any case, this room is the child's personal space, where he will spend most of his childhood - to play, study, relax, grow, and your main task is to make him feel comfortable and pleasant to be there.
