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 consider and systematize the 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 functional areas - a recreation area, a work area, a storage area and a play area.

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. The pink color of the girly nursery is already so well-worn that it is more likely to be avoided than used as a base color. Experiment with a pastel color palette, additionally add 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. Provide lighting for the workplace, dressing table, cabinet, 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 - the classic style is not the best solution for small rooms.

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 any, but it is better to choose from "warm" shades and between different colors should be a smooth transition. 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 free space for the child to play 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 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.
• Security. 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 come in a variety of types: a crib 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 in 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.

Childhood is a wonderful time, happy and carefree. When a child is born, he spends almost all his time with his parents, sharing his living space with them. But no matter how good it is with parents, there comes a moment when a growing personality simply needs its own room where you can sleep, play and develop. We will talk about how to equip a children's room in this article.

A children's room is a unique place where an activity and sports zone, a sleep and relaxation zone and a training zone are located in a small area. Not every parent will be able to immediately correctly determine what and where should be, and some details, such as lighting and interior, are most often made “to your taste”. If you are not a designer, then it may turn out that your creativity will turn out to be bad taste. Think about the fact that after all he is here, and not you.

There are a few general rules to follow when decorating a child's room. First of all, it is desirable that it be the brightest room in the house, without a balcony and at a considerable distance from front door. Children spend a lot of time on the floor, especially in early age, so it should be given special attention: the coating must be durable, warm and resistant to dirt, for example, laminated parquet. The playing area can be distinguished by a carpet, but it is necessary small size and with a small pile in order to make it easier to clean it. Many parents make soundproofing in the children's room, especially if they do not live in a separate house, but in an apartment building. Trust me, the neighbors will thank you.

With furniture, everything is simple: it must be safe, that is, made of environmentally friendly materials, without sharp parts and other parts that can harm the health of the child. Don't skimp on lighting fixtures. AT modern rooms often used Spotlights plus additional sources light - a table lamp or sconce.

We talked about the features of arranging a children's room with the interior designer and young mother Maria Lichman from St. Petersburg.

- Where to start preparing the room?

- We start with zoning - we allocate zones for sleep, games and storage. You can also add a creative zone, which later becomes a working zone.

What colors would you like for the walls? What should be the lighting?

- The color of the walls for the very young is chosen light, pastel and bright, contrasting accents are added. Older children choose a color depending on the temperament of the child, and zones are distinguished color accents. For example, the play area can be bright, the sleep area in soothing colors. Lighting in the play area should be diffused and bright, in the creative area it is required daylight(the sun from the window) and also table lamp. A night light is needed in the sleeping area.

- If there are several children, will the purchase of a bunk bed be justified?

– bunk bed- a good way out for a small room. If children have a large age difference, then vertical zoning simplifies the organization of the room.

– How to equip workplace for work and creativity?

– The workplace should be well lit. Be sure to observe the ergonomics of the workplace: sitting on a chair, the child must stand with his whole foot on the floor.

- How to teach a baby to sleep on his own, not be afraid and not resort to parents?

- The sleep zone can be arranged fabulously, put a “starry sky” night light, draw a city or a tree with characters (owl, squirrel) on the wall, put up books that are read before going to bed, choose with a child linens pleasant colors and give the baby the opportunity to participate in the organization of his corner for sleep.

What else do you need to pay attention to in the children's room?

- It is important to teach a child from childhood to competent storage of things. Sufficient space must be provided for these purposes. Furniture should be selected in accordance with the growth of the child.

Remember that in the children's room everything should be in moderation, you should not overload it with an abundance of furniture or any interior items. For newborns, pastel, non-aggressive colors should be chosen, and for older children, more and more accents can be added. It is noticed that the presence in the interior of purple and blue flowers contributes to the development of the child's intelligence, yellow and orange - develop creativity, in a room made in green or blue colors, the child will develop speech well.

The most common mistakes in the arrangement of children's rooms, experts consider the presence of wallpaper with various patterns: animals, appliances, toys and others. Psychologists are sure that such accents lead to rapid fatigue of the child.

You should not buy furniture that is not the right size, for example, beds and wardrobes for adults - so the child will not be able to feel like a sovereign owner of the room. Also, don't cover the entire floor with carpet and don't store too much soft toys are sources of dust and pollution.

If from the point of view of design everything is clear, then from the point of view of child psychology, everything is not so simple. For advice, we turned to a practicing child clinical psychologist Victoria Korpacheva. In her opinion, from birth, you can teach your baby to fall asleep in his crib. Then, with three years When the position “I myself” appears, he should be given the choice of a bed in his room, children's furniture, and arrange the room with him. To begin with, in order to avoid stress, offer him an afternoon nap there. If you see that the baby sleeps peacefully during the day in his room, it's time to move on to a complete "move" to the nursery. Before going to bed, you should definitely be together with your child, read, talk, give the baby a massage so that he understands that the resettlement is not an indicator that “they don’t like him”, but that they trust him and value his independence.

10 basic rules for arranging a children's room

1. An important condition the comfort of the baby in his room is the presence of the necessary things for him. First of all, it is a comfortable, spacious bed, a play area, a table for classes, a wardrobe and shelves for books, toys, designers.

2. If a child receives certificates, diplomas, awards, then they must be in full view and remind him of his successes. This will contribute to the development of adequate self-esteem.

3. The color scheme should be calm, warm colors(green, olive, sand, golden). These colors will help reduce stress, relaxation, emotional relaxation.

4. Lighting should be sufficient both during the day to complete tasks, lessons, games, and at night so that the child can control the light in his room himself if something frightens him. He himself can turn on the night light or even fall asleep with it.

5. There should be any toys in the room, but not a TV or game consoles. This will distract the child from sleep and overexcite the psyche.

6. By location, the room should not be too far from the parent. If the baby is ill or frightened, then he should easily call his parents.

7. If you have several children, it is not recommended to share them in one room. It is desirable that each child has his own personal territory, at least after the age of six.

8. It is necessary to maintain an optimal temperature regime in the room so that the child feels as comfortable as possible, especially during sleep.

9. If there are small animals in the house to which the child is not allergic, it is acceptable to allow the animal to sleep in the children's room. This will create a feeling of security and calmness in the baby. The animal can make sounds at night, move around, and this will help the child get used to extraneous sounds and become less anxious, not be afraid of the slightest squeaks in the dark.

10. In the children's room there must be a door that the child has the right to close in order to retire. And parents are obliged not to forget about the rules of decency and knock before entering. Especially if a teenager over ten years old lives in the room.

One of Mary's founding principles was creation of a developing environment for a child. I have been interested in this topic for a long time and watch how parents from America and Australia equip a safe developmental space for their children. Therefore, I wrote a long review with photos, in which I tell:

• What is special about the nursery?
• Where does the child sleep?
• Why are 2 beds created for babies, if possible?
• Where are children's clothes kept?
• What is an activity zone?
• What is a feeding area?

What is special about a Montessori nursery?

All furniture designed for little man. Not only the usual children's tables and tables, but also shelves, cabinets, paintings and mirrors, bedside tables, bookshelves and it is desirable to make cribs low and accessible for the baby. Montessori rooms look unusually empty compared to regular nurseries because most items are low.

The space of the room should be as safe as possible. There is no place for things that need to be kept safe, there are also no objects that can get hurt, get caught and fall, or slip.

Safety sockets

Where does the baby sleep?

Often, if space permits, parents create 2 beds for children of the first year of life and one for an adult child. Sleeping places in such rooms are low beds or thick mattresses.

low bed necessary to stimulate the child to cognitive activity. He will rather start crawling, because he will see what is happening around. He will try to follow the adults and crawl to the subject that interests him.

In addition, a low bed is the safety of the baby, because, learning to crawl, he won't fall. Another plus of a low bed according to the Montessori method is that the child does not have to wean from a bed with sides. He can easily get used to the usual big bed, will not be afraid and will not fall from it.

We even designed these baby cribs and sell them not only for home use but also for kindergartens! .

Why do they create 2 beds for babies?

On the same bed, the baby sleeps at night. There is nothing really special here, except that it is sleeping place low. And the second mattress is designed for development and active observation. Installed around it mirror so that the baby can see himself and observe his movements. And above the mattress hang mobile, which parents change regularly (once every 2-3 weeks). In addition, they broadcast or set nearby paintings or some pretty illustrations. Toys here, too, are nearby so that the baby can crawl to them himself.

What is Montessori shelving or shelves?

Montessori parents usually have free access so that the child has opportunity to choose Kind of activity. In most children's open shelving on which toys are placed that are appropriate for the age of the child. Toys on the shelves periodically change depending on the interests of the child.

In addition, the baby from early childhood learning to clean up after himself toys, because the order on the rack is so clear and understandable!

Where are children's clothes kept?

All emphasis on the child, therefore low cabinet perfect fit. If the clothes are still stored in a separate high closet, then a dressing area is allocated in the room. Here stands low chair, on which the baby can hang his clothes, and put shoes next to him.

And sometimes you can do dressing table so that the baby can independently comb and look in the mirror.

How about a place to feed?

You probably noticed in children's stores rocking chairs for feeding I? So this (or any other easy chair)just right for a hungry masik and his mother. Over time, the baby will get used to the fact that here they are alone with their mother in peace and quiet. He will quickly calm down and rejoice. And in this chair, mom can comfortably sit down and read fairy tales to the baby before bedtime. Therefore, often near the place for feeding have shelves with books.

How about the potty issue?

Very simple. Some parents post pot right in the room. Put next to dirty laundry basket. The kid gradually learns to go to the potty on his own, as well as take off his soiled panties and throw them into the basket.

What else in What else complements the Montessori space?

Primarily pictures(reproductions, children's prints, animal prints, alphabets). They bring up aesthetic taste in the child. For newborns, black and white images are often chosen. These contrasting colors the child's eye distinguishes first.

easel. It is known that drawing on a vertical surface is significantly different from drawing on a horizontal surface. These are completely different motor skills. Therefore, parents are trying to find a place for an easel to give the child the opportunity to reveal their creative potential, as well as develop fine and large motor skills.

Wood or plastic?

A feature of the Montessori space is environmental friendliness, since there is nothing more harmonious and aesthetically beautiful than nature, therefore Montessori parents prefer natural materials. If furniture, then wooden, if curtains, then cotton or linen, if carpets, then woven from natural fabrics.

Wooden shelving - beauty!

Knitted carpet

It is worth noting that classic Montessori the material is made of wood or metal, because in the time of Maria Montessori, plastic was not even heard of. Now there are many quality plastic toys that correspond to the principles of Montessori pedagogy, but still wooden Toys in priority.

Baby toys: cloth, wood, plastic, rubber

The independence of the child and the liberation of the parents?

For some reason, many people think that the Montessori method helps parents relieve themselves of the burden of responsibility. They say, they say, the child is left alone with his problems. He has to decide on his own. No. And again no! If parents do not show the child everything, he will not learn anything.. If they are not next to him, he will deliberately demonstrate his helplessness.

In Montessori, everything is thought out so that the child can try your hand and to know your possibilities. But this does not mean at all that, having learned to put toys in a box, he will always be forced to clean up after himself everything to the last toy. Just as a child's ability to read does not mean that parents will stop reading books to him.

The kid is trying to build a tower on his own

On the contrary, the Montessori method assumes that the child learns many things from his parents. And parents are always present nearby, show and tell, open the world to him. When the baby tries to do something on his own, they try to stay away so that he can still do it. If a child asks for help, they will definitely help..

How did we implement Montessori space in a one-room apartment?

About that, I already wrote, here I will tell you how we continue to implement it at home:

1. First of all, we decided that in the room will not have wardrobes, dressers and in general extra furniture. All things are stored in the pantry and a large closet in the bathroom. So that the pantry is not cluttered, we take seasonal things to the garage. This made it possible to create a large playing space on the floor.

The absence of unnecessary furniture creates more space for games.

2. Husband made a big one Montessori shelving(similar to IKEA's "Expedit"). Toys, books and study materials are stored here. Some of the toys are also for a while goes to the closet.

Shelving helps structure toys and gives you choices

3. Near the rack on the floor lies a comfortable kids rug, and nearby are panicle, scoop and soft mitten for rubbing dust.
We have a comfortable bean bag for reading.

4. When Sima was little, we had a sports corner. Ksyusha climbed the stairs, and from below we laid a rug and laid out Sima. Mobiles were hung over her. There were toys and pictures nearby. From here she could crawl out onto the floor. We also started early. put it on the floor(not on the bedspread, but on the laminate) so that she learns to crawl. By the way, Sima's crawling teacher was Xunya. It was she who showed her the technique and techniques :)

5. We often changed, who made their own hands.

I wrote this not for boasting, but for example: You can create a developing environment even in a one-room apartment.

Decorating the interior of a room for your beloved child is a creative, interesting task, but at the same time very responsible! After all, the nursery is a place that will become for him the whole world on long years! Here he will grow, develop and play, learn new things and relax, rejoice and be sad. Consider what should be the design of a children's room on photo examples of finished projects.

When renovating a children's room, it is necessary to create a space that can combine everything a child needs and at the same time take into account the taste preferences of parents, in harmony with the interior of the whole house. In fact, it is much simpler than it might seem at first glance. Read on and you will learn how to come up with and bring to life a real dream room for your child, step by step.

Room layout

When planning an apartment, if possible, it is better to choose the most SPACIOUS and WELL-LIGHTED room for the nursery. For the development of the child, it is very important to have as much space and light as possible. If there are dark corners in the room, immediately get rid of them and create a cheerful mood with the help of decor and lamps. The room must light up!

In the nursery, as a rule, the space is divided into three main zones:

• game;
• working;
• place to rest/sleep.

There are several ways to visually separate these zones, which one to choose will depend on your financial capabilities and imagination. The simplest method is using different colors for each of them. Another popular option is construction of multi-level podiums.

Wall decoration should take into account the degree of activity of your child. Try to choose washable wallpaper or provide a separate place on the wall, pasted over with whatman paper, where your young artist can create his first masterpieces.

It is better to lay a non-marking coating on the floor. For a children's room, it is preferable to choose carpets with a short pile - they will collect less dust and are easier to care for. Choose a warm carpet, as children often like to lie on the floor or play on it.

Thinking through the details of the interior, do not forget to also take into account that your baby is growing and constantly developing. Therefore, plan the space, at the same time looking into the future - will your child be comfortable in this room in 3-5 years?

note! If you want to achieve the “universality” of the interior, you should select strict pieces of furniture that will last a long time.

Classical

This style is just a godsend for a child's room! In fact, the child is not so important what kind of table he has, what kind of bed and the number of drawers in the closet, how many free space! Leave only the essentials from the furniture and highlight your child as much as possible more space for games, space for imagination and creativity!

Rural motifs on the walls, antique furniture, a grandmother's chest instead of a toy box, made from an old stale piece of fabric - great opportunity for a family on a tight budget to tastefully decorate a room for their child.

This is a fairly new direction in design, besides, it is rarely used in children's interiors because of its "coldness". High-tech attributes are the presence of technology, objects made of metal, plastic, glass, clear lines and shapes.
