We develop the design of the children's room ourselves

To make the child comfortable in his room, parents will have to try: it must be beautiful, comfortable, safe, functional, and, which is also very important, the child likes it. It is not easy to combine all the requirements, but it is possible, especially since there are many developments and examples captured in the photo. Having seen the idea, it can be reworked for your conditions. This is how the design of the child's room is developed with their own hands.

Technical highlights

If there is a choice, children's rooms are chosen from those with windows facing south or east. If a major overhaul is planned, immediately lay all possible communications into the room: there is no need to remind you of the presence of electrical wiring, but the network Internet cable is often forgotten. Modern children very early begin to communicate with office equipment, and even if the room is being prepared for a newborn, this detail should not be forgotten, after a few years you will have to beat the cable on the baseboard.

You should worry about switches and sockets separately. You should not place switches high - do not forget that the light must be turned on by a child. About sockets. You can't do without them, but if the child is small, find ones that have spring-loaded covers. This is especially true for boys: they are drawn to stick something into the holes ... and the covers will block access to danger.

Zoning

The design of a children's room begins first of all with dividing the room into zones. Even in a small room, it is necessary to highlight the sleeping, play and "business" areas. Under the playroom, you can take the middle of the room, lay a warm floor covering here, and put cabinets / drawers / bedside tables for toys on the sides.

A carpet or rug is appropriate near the bed and in the play area

A table is usually placed on the side of the window. If earlier they were mainly tied to the light that falls from the window, then today, with the presence of lighting devices of various types and types, it is possible to organize excellent lighting even in the darkest corner. It is often more convenient to place the table there even now: the computer screen does not glare. If, except under the window, there is nowhere to put the table, blinds or roller blinds are needed. With their help, you can adjust the illumination - too bright light on the work surface leads to increased eye fatigue.

Children are highly mobile and can easily push, pull off the lamp. Therefore, for young and middle age, it is advisable to take table lamps with a strong mount to the table top. There are models with clamps. They are screwed to a table top or some kind of ledge, even to a bookshelf above the table.

The table is often placed near the window

In this regard, LED lamps are safer - with many small crystals. In fact, there is nothing to beat there, but with ordinary lamps in a glass bulb there can be troubles.

Lighting

Table lighting is only a small part of what you need in a nursery. There should also be several "levels" of lighting here. General - ceiling. It is desirable to have different degrees of brightness. In the morning, while the child has not yet woken up, you can turn on the dim lights. This makes it easier for children to go to kindergarten or school. In the evening, on the contrary, they need a bright light: there is still a sea of energy, and the thirst for activity requires good lighting.

Ceiling lighting can be fun

You also need lighting near the bed.Older children sometimes want to read (what if ,,,) or see something (which happens more often). And the little ones are scared. If you turn on the light, you can only stretch out the handle, it calms. True, the shape and brightness of the lighting should be different - to “read” something brighter, and to disperse fears - soft dim light.

Wall design and decoration

The most reasonable option is to make the walls for painting. Children grow up very quickly and their tastes and preferences also change quickly. You can quickly paint the walls in a different color, without much loss of time. If it is a plastered wall, great, you can paint it five times without removing the previous layers. And if you will paste over the walls with wallpaper for painting, choose a non-woven base: they can also be painted without risk up to 8 times.

Colors in the nursery for walls and furniture - bright, clean, but not acidic

A slightly more time-consuming way of decorating walls in a nursery is wallpaper. The most suitable from the standpoint of environmental safety are paper ones. But you shouldn't take thin ones: they break very quickly. You can take two- or three-layer (duplex or triplex). They are denser and last longer.

Colors are chosen in early childhood according to the gender of the child - pink shades for girls and those close to them, for boys - blue and green. A little later, you need to focus on the tastes of your child. You can already know for sure which of the flowers your child likes more. Only colors are needed not aggressive, but closer to natural shades. The so-called "acidic" ones are too stressful emotionally, which, to put it mildly, is "unhelpful".

Children's furniture

The task of the parents is to try to develop the design of the children's room so that it is safe. And when choosing furniture, this is one of the key points. First, the material from which they are made must be safe. If it is painted or laminated particle boards (Laminated chipboard), require certificates. For the chipboard itself, there must be a hygienic certificate, which indicates the emission class of formaldehyde - a binder for sawdust. It is designated by the Latin letter E. For the manufacture of furniture for a children's room, material with E0 or E1 can be used. They are absolutely safe - the emission of formaldehyde is no more than that of wood. If the furniture is painted, a paint certificate is also required. It must be non-toxic.

There should be no protruding sharp corners

Also pay attention to corners and protrusions. They should be rounded: there should be no sharp protruding parts. In any case, for children under 13, choose these models.

Baby room design for toddlers

When decorating a baby room, parents can try to make all their dreams come true. Only when developing the design of a nursery, do not forget that adults will take care of it. Things like a crib with a variable mattress height are not an unnecessary option, but an urgent need: it is harmful for mom, and dad, and grandparents too.

Swaddling stand is not a superfluous detail

The same applies to the changing table. Let the children no longer be swaddled, but it is more convenient to change clothes at waist height, and not bending over. For this, they make high changing tables, on three sides they have rather high protrusions - so that the child does not fall over after turning over.

To make it not just a table with high legs, under it you can make many boxes in which baby underwear and all sorts of ointments / powders, other items that are necessary when caring for a baby will be stored. Then, replacing the lid, turn it into a wardrobe or chest of drawers.

The armchair is a useful accessory

In the nursery, you also need a comfortable chair or sofa: the mother will need to feed the child often, and it is more convenient to do this in a chair where there is support for the back and arms. And then, during the games, it is more convenient to watch the child from an armchair or sofa.

The colors are very soft when developing the interior of nurseries for babies.Often it is white and its shades, with the addition of pink and blue. Several bright color accents are added to the walls. Such rooms are then easily transformed into brighter ones - for older and more active children.

Rooms for girls

The traditional colors in which the design of girls' rooms is developed are pink, lilac and transitional shades. But be sure to ask the girl's opinion: she may have her own "rules". And in general, involve the child in the development of the project, ask for advice and offer to choose something, together come to a decision.

The easiest way is if the child has some favorite hero, cartoon, fairy tale. Add a few touches - wallpaper with cartoon frames, a few pictures, objects decorated in the same vein. And the unique design of the nursery is ready.

Sticking a photo wallpaper with a cartoon frame is a great idea for decorating a nursery

When decorating a bed, girls often dream of a canopy. Even if it is not entirely hygienic and correct, it is worth making a dream come true. Make it lightweight, weightless, with a fabric that washes well. And the design should provide for frequent washing: so that it is possible to easily and quickly remove the fabric.

You can hang tulle or organza over the bed

Girls also love to build "houses". Arrange an opportunity for them. It can be a closet that can be curtained, bunk bed, one of the floors of which - upper or lower - can be used as a play area. You cannot forget about safety even for a minute, and you need to fence and fix everything that you can.

To save space under the bed, drawers can be made, but there are options on the contrary - a podium from under which the bed slides out. Also an interesting option, but more difficult to implement.

Space saving and nook

A nursery design for teenage girls may already be required in other colors. Pink and lilac can replace beige, brown and other shades of the same range. Some young ladies may like darker tones. It may be possible to reach a compromise, and add dark accents in a bright room.

Teenage girls may prefer soft colors.

Boy's room

With boys it is both easier and more difficult at the same time. They like Spiderman, Cars and other similar stories. And there is no problem with that. There is even matching furniture (as pictured).

But after some time, interests change, new heroes appear ... each time it is expensive to completely change the situation. Therefore, it is more rational to arrange everything, say, in a traditionally masculine style. For example, a sports corner, a bed with a second floor for interesting activities.

Another option is to beat the young man's sports preferences. If he likes to play basketball - make rings, nets, etc., a goal will be required for a football player. Just remove all breakable objects away and protect fragile nets….

When there are two children and one room

If the children are of different sexes, or have their own interests or preferences, it is easiest to divide the room into two zones. To design each one depending on the wishes of the "owners" of the area. Only here it is necessary to approach so that a conflict does not arise between the children. Here you have the cards in your hands ...

If children do not conflict, that's great.

If there is competition, you will have to make the design identical. This is probably the only way to soften the confrontation. Then the parents will have to maneuver, taking into account the wishes of the children.

Identical design - exit in case of conflicts

If you are lucky, the children do not quarrel or the conflicts are not serious, you can put a bunk bed. It is usually difficult to negotiate who will sleep where: everyone wants to be upstairs.But as a "bonus" for the lower tier, you can think of a slide in the form of a slide. True, the lower tier will also have to be raised, but this can be a solution to the problem: the younger one will be interested in the bottom if there is a slide.

If the space is tight, you can use transforming furniture in the children's room. The bed can go down from the closet, move out from under the podium, even go down from the ceiling. There are different options. Choose the one that is easier or more convenient to implement in your case.

The bed falls out of the closet

In general, the design of a nursery is a creative activity. All family members need to be involved in it. This is exactly the case when one head is good, and the family is better. And in order to have plenty to choose from, below are collected photos with interesting ideas and ideas. Maybe something will be useful for you ...
