The child should have its own "small country", where he will play, study, relax. The task of adults is to equip his “possessions” in such a way that he does all this with pleasure. Designing a children's bedroom is a difficult process, but very exciting.
When allocating a room for a child, consider its location in the apartment. Give the kid a well-lit warm bedroom surrounded on three sides by other rooms. It is advisable that she be away from the kitchen and toilet and closer to her parents room.At least 12 square meters are allocated for one child. m., for two - 15 square meters. m. There must necessarily be a place for sleeping, studying, storing things and toys. Zoning will help to solve the problem with the placement of all necessary. At the window have a working area for reading, writing, drawing. To play, take a place closer to the door - the far corner is not the best place for the baby. You can store clothes in an ordinary closet. If the area allows, arrange a dressing room. It will accommodate sleds, skates, a skateboard and even a bicycle, and much more.
Separate the bed from the common space using a plasterboard partition or fabric curtain. So the zones will not mix, and during laying the baby will not be distracted by bright toys.
Style and Theme Design
The style of the room should be in harmony with the inner world of its occupant, reflect the interests and hobbies of the child. Traditionally, for girls' rooms, classics or delicate Provence are chosen. The boy’s apartments use a nautical theme, American style and even a loft. But if a young “lady” wants to live in a captain’s cabin or a room with brick walls, this is her right!
The following styles are suitable for decorating children's rooms:
classic - neutral and light shades, natural wood furniture with carved elements, works of art in wooden patterned frames, exquisite decor, wallpaper with monograms, candlesticks. Ideal interior for a little princess;
modern - practical furniture, sometimes of unusual shape from functional modules, contrasting colors, eye-catching inscriptions, posters, chandeliers of geometric shapes;
Provence - light carved furniture with a gilding effect and scuffs. In the upholstery, wall decoration and textiles there are delicate prints - floral, soft cage, strip. Porcelain vases, figurines, wicker flower baskets, lace and knitted napkins, mirrors in antique frames are suitable as decor;
Loft is a great choice for a teenager's room. Typical are brick or concrete walls with catchy inscriptions, simple rough furniture, wooden ceiling beams and unexpected accents in the form of musical instruments, classical statues or baroque mirrors. Industrial luminaires or track systems with rotary mechanisms are appropriate here. Shiny chrome accessories and technical innovations coexist with objects, as if found in a landfill;
American - functionality, simplicity and convenience. A mixture of different styles, a combination of traditional and modern elements is acceptable. The bed is located in the center, cabinets and racks - along the walls. On the walls there are bright posters and photographs in which the child’s hobbies are traced - cartoon stories, favorite musicians and actors, themes of sports, technology;
marine - a blue-blue palette, images of ships or old maps, sails at the head. Another option is to turn the room into a pirate ship with wooden chests, a helm, gear and many items needed by a real “sea wolf”.
Color palette
Children grow up quickly. And if you do not plan to change the finish when your “princess” hates pink, enter this color in a metered way. Make walls and furniture neutral. Use bright colors in decor and textiles. To change the color scheme, it will be enough to upgrade accessories. Examples of color schemes:
green - will calm the smartest baby. Combine the shades of color in the interior, but bright is best left for the decor. Choose a combination of green with neutral - white, beige, gray or similar shades - yellow and blue;
turquoise - refreshes sunny rooms, gives them cleanliness and coolness. Against a turquoise background, orange, yellow, lime accents look great;
yellow - the brightness of the color will soften the light gray color. This combination will appeal to a child of any age;
pastel colors - in small doses it will decorate any interior, and as accents it will be appropriate both in a girl’s and boy’s room. Deep shades are excellently refreshing - blue, burgundy, brown, but are best revealed on a snow-white background;
black and white - combine with bright or delicate shades. A wonderful decor option is white wallpaper with a painted city, murals. The black slate does not spoil the interior.
Furniture selection
It is very important to choose the right furniture for the children's room. It must certainly be durable, as children are restless and energetic. It should not have sharp corners and hazardous metal elements. Choose furnishings from natural materials with a safe coating. Try to save as much free space as possible for your child’s games. This will help beds with drawers, combined bunk models, in which the table is combined with a berth and wardrobe. Choose shades of light, as bright colors are exciting and quickly annoying.
Lighting
Emotional well-being of a child and his health depend on lighting. The space flooded with the sun will fill it with energy, will give tone and a positive attitude. A gloomy room will contribute to negative thoughts and less activity. Poor lighting is the main reason for the development of myopia. It is better that the nursery is located on the south or west side. When choosing a room, you need to build on the amount of natural light. Artificial lighting is designed so that all areas are evenly lit. The rays coming from the instruments should be powerful enough, but at the same time not blinding. To control luminaires in different zones, separate switches should be provided. Particular attention is required to illuminate the playing space and the working "corner".In the playing area, you can hang a bright chandelier, and illuminate the student's desk with a table lamp. For the sleeping area, spot lighting or sconces are quite enough.
If a student and a preschooler live in the room, it is necessary to delimit the space so that the light in the study area does not interfere with the baby falling asleep.
Textile design
Textiles create a cozy atmosphere. It makes the room unique and expressive. In the nursery, they usually do not recommend the use of bright colors. But, fortunately, this does not apply to textiles. Here, delicate, vibrant colors and a variety of prints are appropriate - peas, flowers, cage, images of berries, fruits, toys. Curtains, bedding, canopies, bedspreads, pillows should obey the general style and unite the space. The main requirement for textiles for children is naturalness and hypoallergenicity. It is better to use cotton and linen fabrics and abandon synthetics.
Finishing materials
The choice of decoration for the children's room is a responsible task. It must be consistent with the following conditions:
external attractiveness for the child;
security;
hypoallergenicity.
For wall decoration use paint, decorative plaster, wallpaper - paper, non-woven, fabric. The unique atmosphere will help to create a mural. And for fans of drawing, coloring wallpapers will become a gift. On the floor you can put a laminate, cork, carpet or parquet. Each of these materials has strengths and weaknesses, but all of them are safe for the health of the child.
Accessories, decor and toys
There are many options for decorating a children's room. Vinyl stickers, photo frames, posters will make the interior colorful and unique. If the child is afraid to fall asleep in the dark, luminous stickers or the Starry Sky night light will come to the rescue. Let's not forget about a useful developing decor - maps - geographical and starry sky, clocks, calendars, alphabets, magnetic boards, stadiometers.When playing, children learn to determine the time, work with a measuring scale, remember the names of countries and cities, learn languages. Do-it-yourself decor looks great. Select a bookcase or shelf and place crafts, drawings, applications of your baby there.
Features of the design of the bedroom, taking into account age
Even if you do not plan to resettle the child in the first month, the arrangement of the bedroom should not be left at the last moment. After repair, at least a couple of weeks should pass before the smells of finishing materials disappear. The newborn will not appreciate the complex design techniques, contrasting shades and decor. The best colors are delicate pastel shades that will have a calming effect on him and on mom. The baby’s room needs a safe bed, a convenient changing table, a feeding chair and a chest of drawers with drawers for baby things and diapers. Over time, the room is filled with rattles, modules, soft toys. A room for a child of 2-3 years is a space for games and development. It includes a zone with a car park or doll furniture and utensils. A cot is replaced by a full-fledged berth, a table for drawing and construction appears. It's time to buy a sandbox and a tent. On the walls you can place colorful murals with cartoon characters. Age from 4 to 7 years - this is the time for role-playing games, the first research and active creativity. It is at this age that the thematic design of the room will come in handy. A room with an improvised ship, a royal castle or a medieval tower is an unforgettable gift for a child.
At this age, many children begin to engage in music, painting, sports, so you need to provide a zone for placing an instrument, an easel, sports equipment.
In the room of the student it is worth installing combined furniture.The combined work and sleeping place is an excellent solution to the problem of space shortage. On the walls should be placed textbooks for study - a geographical map, an alphabet. If you are planning to make out a room for a teenager, you need to consult with a child. Perhaps your tastes will not match and this is normal. Do not be surprised if he chooses black wallpaper or decorates the walls with defiant posters, wants to realize a production loft or an English style. This is just a way of self-expression, an attempt to end childhood. Give the teenager an attic, and there will be no end to his joy. Here, far from the parent's bedroom, no one bothers him to listen to music, play the guitar and even throw parties.
Bedroom for a boy
Any colors and styles are acceptable except frankly girlish - pink, lilac. In a boy’s room it’s best to refrain from a lot of furniture. Active games require free and safe space. Chandeliers, hanging shelves - everything that can be brought down here is better to exclude from the interior at the design stage. It will be more appropriate here for a sports corner and themed furniture - a bed in the form of a car or a yacht.
Bedroom for the girl
Contrary to the prevailing opinion of adults, not all girls dream of white and pink bedrooms. There are a lot of color solutions that will make the interior elegant and delicate. For example, mint, sky-turquoise, lilac shades on a beige, white or milky background. It is better to use light furniture with elegant shapes, mirrors and sophisticated decor. Calm gamut will revive bright prints, accessories.
Bedroom for heterosexual children
The equipment of the room in which two children of different sexes live together is a difficult but feasible task. If the area of the room allows, we put a partition and make out "halves" in different styles. Ideally, if the room has two windows, then the rooms can be completely isolated. If this is not possible, we divide the space visually using different:
colors;
furniture;
finish;
textile;
lighting;
accessories.
In small rooms you can arrange a podium. On the surface of the structure, place the sleeping and working area for one child, and hide the second bed under it. It is more correct for the student to take a place upstairs - there, light from the window will fall on his desk. A place for games for a younger brother or sister is best placed at the lower level.
Conclusion
When designing a nursery, you need to remember that the exquisite style and expensive accessories are wonderful. But it’s much more important that your child’s “small world” is comfortable and, most importantly, safe.
The child should have its own "small country", where he will play, study, relax. The task of adults is to equip his “possessions” in such a way that he does all this with pleasure. Designing a children's bedroom is a difficult process, but very exciting.
