Children's room design. Tips and photos. What other things complement the Montessori space? The right workplace for the child is the key to successful study

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, from the first months of your child’s life, it should be strong, spacious and comfortable bed. Better if made to order, exactly the style of the nursery.

Later, you can add containers for storing toys, desk, and maybe the second 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.

Large 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 only part of the common room, you can highlight it with color, which will emphasize the isolation of the living area 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 problems!

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.

There is a saying that the first child is the last doll for parents. Perhaps that is why, with such enthusiasm, adults rush to the arrangement of the children's room, as if assembling a toy world from a designer. And psychologists are sounding the alarm: most parents have no idea how to equip the nursery correctly.

world for baby

Parents of the first child are the most worried. Often their ideas about ideal motherhood and fatherhood look like photos from glossy pages: chests of drawers and shelves with neat stacks of lace vests, a bed buried in sewing and pillows, and a clean baby in a shirt fragrant with lavender plays with colorful pendants among all this beauty. But he is already taking his first steps to the applause of his parents, then he goes to school with huge bouquet, in the evenings, gives parents a diary full of fives and again goes to the table to learn and develop. And these thoughts become the basis for: neat, organized, spotlessly clean - in a word, ideal.

Parents who have already passed the stages of the formation of a child's personality will only chuckle when they talk about such an idyll. Because they already know the main rules for organizing a room for a baby:

• The nursery is created for the child, and not for parents and visiting relatives and friends.
• When creating an interior and furnishings, the opinion of a small owner should be the main one.
• Finishing, furniture, small interior items and accessories should be appropriate for the age and needs of the child.
• The service life of any item in the children's room is much less than the same in an adult.
• Each person periodically has a desire to be alone, and such an opportunity should be provided to the child, even if the nursery is designed for 2-3 residents.
• Changing activities for children is one of the prerequisites for development, so the baby’s room should have areas for both active activities and relaxation.

And even realizing these aspects, it is too early to go for finishing materials and furniture. The requirements for organizing a nursery are much more serious than it seems at first glance. And there is no need to hurry in this matter.

How to equip a common room for parents and a child, read.

5 common mistakes

When deciding how to equip a room, first of all, you need to think not about beauty, but about safety, comfort and conditions for psychophysical development. The main prohibitions when creating the interior of a nursery are prescribed by doctors and teachers.

1. Environmental safety should be the main principle of selection of finishing materials for walls, floors and ceilings. All materials that parents purchase for the nursery must be labeled environmentally friendly. This applies to wallpaper and, this also applies to furniture. Don't limit yourself to reading the label on the headset. Make sure that the furniture does not have strong odors: the smell of toxic varnish will give itself away even without annotations.
2. Sharp corners, opening doors and hinged lids do not The best decision for the little fidget's room. You should not reassure yourself with a promise to closely monitor the baby: all sharp corners will be found empirically as soon as the child begins to walk. It is also worth abandoning glass and fragile textures, delicate textiles and not designed for wet cleaning surfaces, collapsible inlays and any decorations that can be torn off, picked off, bitten off. It is these operations that will certainly be undertaken as soon as the child becomes interested in an interesting element.
3. Boring backgrounds and plain elements in the nursery also have no place. textures, colors, bright accents is an incentive to research activities. Security and disclaimer small parts should not make the room dreary. Shelves, modules, different levels, constructors are great ideas for a nursery.
4. And again about safety: modules and "huts" that children adore should not close, slam shut or fall uncontrollably. The same applies to interior door in the nursery: it should not slam shut from the inside, at least until the child reaches a reasonable age.
5. The opportunity to close and be alone should appear in the child as soon as he expresses such a desire. And if it seems that the last two points contradict each other, then it is worth remembering yourself: family relationships are built on mutual respect and trust. And even if parents are required to be able to get into the room of a minor, this does not mean that they have the moral right to break into this room without knocking.

Another point that cannot be attributed to categorical prohibitions, but should not be ignored either: the values ​​of an adult and a child are seriously different. Parents raise a cry because of a damaged tapestry, and their child is genuinely happy to make a knight's cloak on his own. The grandmother cleans the walls with a felt-tip pen, while the child sobs, realizing that his masterpiece landscape with dragons and a pirate ship has come to an end. “Don't touch!”, “Don't break!”, “Don't get dirty!” - these shouts will help preserve the upholstery, but will deprive the child of initiative, creative thinking and a creative streak.

Convenience and practicality

The room of the newborn should be comfortable for both the child and the parents. Everything you need should be at hand: so mom can swaddle and apply necessary funds care without letting go of the baby. A chest of drawers for linen, a box with hygiene products, a box for clean toys and those in need of processing - compulsory subjects furniture.

The area must also correspond to the psychological characteristics of the growing organism. The necessary abundance of natural light should, if necessary, be covered with thick curtains. The bed should be installed so that when airing the draft does not blow it. All upholstery and textiles must be removable and washable.

The optimal colors are pastels, blues and greens, that is, they are soothing and allow you to fall asleep quickly: the baby’s activity is still ahead. Red, black, and simply contrasting elements should be excluded: staring can prevent a child from falling asleep, and fantasy can also turn objects into monsters.

As soon as the child begins to play, it is worth thinking about zoning the nursery. The play mat will eventually be replaced by a study desk, but this area should be shared with the bedroom and can even be decorated in other colors. Color separation allows the body to quickly switch: tune in to a working mood when moving or calm down after active exercises in a sports corner.

The latter is also desirable to organize, even if the girl is growing: physical development is a prerequisite for the formation of any baby.

There are as many options for how to equip a nursery as there are children themselves. Bright and modest, saturated and concise, naive and hardly distinguishable from adult rooms - this issue should be resolved together with the little inhabitant. But there is another subtlety that should not be forgotten: the theme should not deprive the child of fantasy. The car bed is beautiful and original, but it will not allow the young dreamer to imagine her as a ship or an Indian hut.

A universal interior and a minimum of prohibitions is what allows you to think, develop and dream.

Girl's room - a princess or a hooligan?

Quite often, pink and peach tones are the choice of parents trying to raise a lady out of a bully. In fact, there are much more options for decorating a girl's room:

• shades of lilac and lavender;
• peach and coffee;
• greenery and sunny yellow.

To instill a passion for women's activities and hobbies will allow other techniques:

• organization;
• needlework corner;
• nice big mirror.

boys

The boy's room should also meet the needs of the child. Wanting to raise a man who can do minor repairs, you can not limit these needs to him in childhood, scolding him for trying to color or modernize. And even if the child is not yet able to assemble the furniture, he can already twist the loop on the loose cabinet door.

More ideas on how to equip a room for a boy 5-7 years old can be seen

A little later, you can really make furniture with your own hands by connecting a child to the process. This experience, however clunky, will be valued more than the most expensive headsets.

A sports corner for a boy is required. And you should not make an argument that the area of ​​​​the room does not allow you to accommodate both working, and sleeping, and sports areas. Two-level zoning will allow you to arrange everything.

Save space:

• transforming beds, gathering during the day or turning over into a tabletop;
• two-story sleeping places with a study table on the lower tier;
• podium beds, above which a horizontal bar and a gymnastic ladder are fixed.

However, such techniques are appropriate not only in the boy's room. The issues of saving space are relevant for families with many children, and for those simply shackled by a lack of space.

For two children

When creating a common nursery, we must not forget the fact that sons and daughters are not complementary to each other, but independent individuals. Trying to assign "general" items will most likely fail. Each of the children should have their own zone, which the rest should not encroach on, especially when it comes to children of different sexes. Parents will have to control this process: otherwise, conflicts are inevitable.

The equality and value of each of the children must be constantly emphasized. The most common mistake - privilege for the younger at the expense of the older - will destroy the relationship. In the absence of the ability to equip separate rooms you can make temporary partitions or screens.

The arrangement of the room can also be entrusted to the elder: it is easier for the child to accept the “neighbor”.

The little man still does not know how to influence his health and lay his future success.

In the first years of his life, the care of these things falls entirely on you.

Naturally, first of all, the character and fate of the child depend on how much parental love, affection, warmth he receives, but the aura of his personal space, limited by the four walls of his room, also contributes.

And the contribution is more significant than it seems at first glance.

What should be the first little house child?

The main rule is this: nothing in the world around the baby should limit or suppress him. The child should feel protected and be able to devote himself to any occupation he likes, test his abilities, try this and that, improve his skills. Well, let's equip your baby with such a nest. Where to begin? And you need to start by choosing the right rooms .

Not every room in the apartment is suitable for a child. For some reason, it is generally accepted that it is better to arrange a nursery in the back of the apartment, as far as possible from front door. From a feng shui point of view, this is absolutely wrong. On the contrary, it is undesirable to allocate the rooms farthest from the entrance to the nursery. In this part of the apartment, passive energies dominate, and a growing little man needs active energies. Far rooms are good for those who "command the parade" while in the rear, that is, for parents. Here are the calmest energies, and they will help you recuperate after a day's work. For children, the first half of the house from the front door is more suitable.

As a child, my room was just the farthest from the entrance to the apartment, and I did not like it at all. Like many children, I was afraid that thieves would break into the apartment, so every time there was a sound of a key turning in the lock, I was seized with fear. After all, I could not immediately determine who came. But if the room was closer to the entrance, I would be aware of everything that happens in the hallway, and I would feel calmer. Most likely, it was not the thieves, because in our apartment there were three doors - protection, more than reliable even in modern times. I simply lived under the influence of passive energies (in Feng Shui they are called Yin), and they gave rise to fears.

Which room is the best for a child in terms of cardinal points? In what place of the apartment can not have a children's room?

From the position of the cardinal points, the most favorable direction for the child is the east. And if you have the opportunity to take under the children's room, overlooking the east, do it, even if it is located in the back of the house.

The East is the direction of growth, development, prosperity. By living in such a room, the child will be connected to its beneficial energies, and his development will proceed faster and more smoothly. But in the southwestern room you should not arrange a nursery: in this case, the child will command his parents, he can become a small domestic tyrant, and you will be the executors of his will.

You should also not settle the baby in a huge room, so as not to cause fear in him, as well as in too close, with walls restricting movement. Children very keenly feel the overwhelming influence of furnishings. Agree, it is better not to provoke nervous disorders than to drag the child to the doctors and give him sedatives.

Naturally, everything I have just talked about must be correlated with the available opportunities. For example, if the apartment is one-room, select the eastern sector of the room for the child or the one that is located on the left side of the front door - in relation to one-room apartment this side is most favorable for the child. In a word, be guided by real conditions.

The baby needs personal space from the age of two or three. If you do not have the opportunity to allocate a separate room for the child, arrange a corner for him in common room where only he is the owner. To create such a corner, you can use a screen, bookcase, curtain, blinds, or install a plasterboard wall. It is important that the baby is comfortable and cozy in his corner. Then he will definitely grow up a happy, healthy and strong person.

How to sow the seeds of success. Secrets of arranging interior items in the children's room

Our next step is to properly arrange things in the nursery. This is the key to the future happiness and success of the baby. Household items are our lovely helpers! By arranging them in one way or another, you can purposefully stimulate the success of the child, influence his well-being, mood, and even character traits - develop some and muffle others. To do this, each item must find optimal location in the room. And we are talking not only about furniture, but also about more small things such as toys, books, houseplants, TV, computer.

You ask how furniture and other household utensils can affect the health and fate of a child? It's all about energy! Whether we believe it or not, the quality of our life depends on the nature of the energy circulating in our homes. In Feng Shui, this energy is called qi, which means “breath of life” in Chinese.

Qi is a colossal force that brings life and prosperity, controls all natural processes. It is present everywhere and everywhere - in people, animals, plants, sand, clouds, water, home furnishings; it circles in space, washing every corner of the universe. And although qi itself is neither "good" nor "evil", neither "positive" nor "negative", it can behave in two ways - both to create and to destroy. After all, qi is heterogeneous. In every corner of the universe, including a single room, it has its own color.

The energies of different objects and people also differ from each other. And if the qi of an object conflicts with the qi of the place where it is located, or with the qi of a person living nearby, it begins to behave like a destroyer. The result is illness, quarrels, lack of money, loneliness, total bad luck, depression, apathy - in a word, everything negative that we encounter in our lives. The kids, living in an unfavorable energy environment, get sick, act up and behave like “difficult”.

So, prosperity arises only where the energies of a person, household items and space resonate with each other. And if you want your child to have a happy life, you must balance the energy in his room, make qi “good”, creative. In fact, it comes down to arranging objects in accordance with the energy of the cardinal points. You only need two things: a plan for the nursery (you can quickly sketch it out by hand) and a compass.

Any kid will eventually need their own autonomous territory. The ideal option would be when the child can allocate a whole room. A twelve-meter space in this case will be quite enough.

Materials and colors for the children's room

Modern manufacturing industry Decoration Materials, provides consumers with a full range of possibilities in terms of interior design. Materials for the nursery in the first place should be as safe as possible. Surface coatings should not contain harmful elements that evaporate and saturate the air in the room with various poisons.

It is best to choose natural materials:

• wood;
• paper;
• natural fabrics.

The color scheme for the nursery is not limited. In this case, it is worth remembering the combinations of shades. Even black color in combination with softening it light shades will not oppress the baby, but will add originality to the room.

It is generally accepted that a girl's room should be replete with shades of pink, and for a boy it would be optimal blue color and its shades. At the same time, the fantasies of designers are sometimes forced to admire the variety of all kinds of color combinations that will be comfortable for kids of any gender.

Room small child should be kept in more gentle tones. This contributes to the peace and tranquility of the baby. At the same time, a teenager can afford brighter combinations that suit his character.

Furnishing a children's room and ways to save space

hosts modern apartments often suffer from a lack of free square meters. Usually the smallest of the available rooms in the house is allocated to the child. 12 sq.m in conditions current trends in construction and layout can be considered an average area for a children's room.

In any case, you always want the baby to stay more space for active play. Here furniture comes to the rescue, which will save the treasured meters.

If the room is designed for two children, then a bunk bed will become indispensable. When choosing such a product, you need to make sure of its quality and safety. The reliability of materials and fasteners should come first in the selection process.

The stairs to the second tier should be durable and comfortable. The process of raising and lowering it should be easy. If the room does not need bunk bed, then top part structures may be used for other purposes.

Most often in addition to the bed go various systems storage. They can look like simple mezzanines or a full-fledged bookshelf with drawers and lockable shelves.

Special attention is paid to storage systems in the nursery. Children tend to collect various items in your room at in large numbers. A myriad of toys, books and various unnecessary, but very interesting rubbish needs to be stored. To do this, designers create compact pieces of furniture with multifunctional niches and cabinets.

The process of choosing and creating a workplace for the child will also be important. It should be located close to the light source, be equipped with storage systems and fit the needs of the small owner of the room in size.

Light sources in the children's room should be varied: from artificial decorative lighting before big window through which it will penetrate daylight from the street.

Windows should be discussed separately. For safety reasons, all windows in the children's room should be equipped with good locks that would not give in to the child. At the same time, the window should allow regular high-quality ventilation. In addition, it is worth taking care of an elegant lattice, as additional element safety for restless curious crumbs.

Decorating a child's room with accessories

In the children's room, an adult can give free rein to his imagination and decorate it with those elements that cannot be used in a pretentious living room or in an elegant office. Bright details with funny stories look very relevant in the interior of the nursery.

Various pictures and images fairytale heroes revive plain walls premises. It will be useful to choose or create with your child some of these pictures and put them in a frame.

For girls, you can arrange a princess bed with a canopy. The baby will be delighted with the unusual fabulous interior. The shades of the material should be delicate colors, and the fabric itself should be transparent and create a mysterious haze around the crib.

Original lamps can also act as a decor item and become a highlight of the interior. Lamps of various shapes and colors will decorate the ceiling and walls. Table lamps and Spotlights can be used to decorate work surfaces and bookshelves.

Some of the lamps look like works of art. Something you can make together with the baby. This will distract the child from the computer and TV for a while and keep him busy with useful and interesting work.

Another important element decor becomes textiles. All kinds of blankets, capes, decorative pillows will give the room a special cosiness. It is important to correctly combine these elements in color and texture.

Plaids and capes on the sofa are not only decorative, but also practical function. Important to keep linens from pollution, so the presence of a bright bedspread on the baby's bed is also of great hygienic importance.

Curtains on the windows will bring their charm to the interior. It is not necessary that they exactly match the color of the rest of the interior. Classic white tulle will create a feeling of lightness, airiness and purity in the nursery.

Bright curtains are also welcome. They can become a color accent in a room. Various patterns on the fabric will provide the desired mood. Thicker dark curtains will reliably hide the room from prying eyes if necessary.

Floor covering for a children's room of 12 sq.m. may be the most varied. The most common way to cover the floors in the nursery is to use carpet.
