Design a cozy children's bedroom

A child should have its own “small country” where it will play, learn, relax. The task of adults is to equip his "possessions" in such a way that he does it all with pleasure. Development of the design of the children's bedroom is a difficult process, but very exciting.

Planning, zoning and design

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 the parents' room. At least 12 sq. M. m., for two - 15 square meters. There must be a place for sleeping, practicing, storing things and toys. To solve the problem with the placement of all necessary zoning will help. The window has a working area for reading, writing, drawing. For the game, take a place closer to the door - the far corner is not the best place for the baby. You can store clothes in a regular closet. If the area allows, arrange wardrobe. It will accommodate sledges, skates, skateboard and even a bicycle, and much more.

    

Separate the bed from the common space with a drywall partition or fabric curtain. So zones will not mix, and during laying the baby will not be distracted by bright toys.

Style and themed design

The style of the room should be in harmony with the inner world of its inhabitant, reflect the interests and hobbies of the child. Traditionally for girls' rooms they choose classic or gentle Provence. In boyish apartments they use nautical themed, American style and even loft. But if the young "lady" wants to live in the captain's cabin or a room with brick walls - that is her right!

    

The following styles are suitable for children’s design:

  • classic - neutral and light shades, furniture made of natural wood with carved elements, works of fine art in wooden patterned frames, elegant decor, wallpaper with monograms, candlesticks. Perfect interior for a little princess;
  • modern - practical furniture, sometimes of unusual shape from functional modules, contrasting colors, spectacular inscriptions, posters, chandeliers of geometric shapes;
  • Provence - carved light furniture with the effect of gilding and scuffs. In the upholstery of furniture, wall decoration and textiles there are delicate prints - floral, soft cell, strip. Porcelain vases, figurines, wicker baskets for flowers, lace and knitted napkins, mirrors in aged frames are suitable as decoration;
  • Loft - a great choice for a teenager's room. Typical are brick or concrete walls with bright inscriptions, simple rough furniture, wooden ceiling beams and unexpected accents in the form of musical instruments, classical statues or baroque mirrors. Industrial lamps or track systems with turning mechanisms are relevant here. Brilliant chrome accessories and technical innovations are side by side with objects found in a dump;
  • American - functionality, simplicity and convenience. It is acceptable to mix different styles, combining traditional and modern elements. The bed is located in the center, cabinets and shelves - along the walls. There are bright posters and photos on the walls, in which the child’s hobbies can be traced - cartoon plots, favorite musicians and actors, sports subjects, techniques;
  • sea ​​- blue and blue palette, images of ships or old maps, sail at the head. Another option is to turn a room into a pirate ship with wooden chests, a steering wheel, tackles, and a variety of 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 dosed. Make walls and furniture neutral. Use bright colors in decor and textiles. To change the color scheme, it will be enough to update the accessories.
Examples of colors:

  • green - soothe the most nimble baby. Combine shades of color in the interior, but bright is better to leave for the decor. Choose a combination of green with neutral - white, beige, gray or similar shades of it - yellow and blue;
  • turquoise - refreshes sunny rooms, gives them cleanliness and coolness. Orange, yellow, lime accents look great on a turquoise background;
  • yellow - the brightness of the color will soften light gray. This combination will appeal to a child of any age;
  • pastel colors - in small doses will decorate any interior, and as accents will be appropriate in both the girl's and the boy's room. Excellent deep refreshing shades - blue, burgundy, brown, but best of all open on a snow-white background;
  • Black and white - combine with bright or delicate shades. Beautiful decor option - white wallpaper with painted city, panel coloring. Do not spoil the interior black slate.


    

Choice of furniture

It is very important to choose the right furniture for the children's room. It must certainly be strong, as the children are restless and energetic. It should not be sharp corners and dangerous metal elements. Choose furnishings from natural materials with a safe finish. Try to keep as much free space as possible for the child to play. This will help beds with drawers, combined bunk models in which the table is combined with a bed and a wardrobe. Choose light shades, as bright colors act excitingly and quickly get bored.


    

Lighting

Emotional well-being of the child, his health depends on the lighting. The space flooded with the sun will fill it with energy, will give a tone and a positive spirit. A dark room will contribute to the emergence of negative thoughts and reduce activity. Poor lighting is the main cause of myopia. It is better that the nursery be located on the south or west side. Choosing a room, you need to build on the amount of natural light. Artificial lighting is designed in such a way that all zones are evenly lit. The rays emanating from the devices must be powerful enough, but at the same time not blinding. To control the lamps in different areas should provide separate switches. The special attention is demanded by illumination of game space and working "corner". In the area of ​​the game, you can hang a bright chandelier, and light the student desk with a desk lamp. For the sleeping area is enough spot lighting or sconces.


    

If a pupil and a preschooler live in a room, one needs to delimit the space in such a way that the light in the study area does not interfere with falling asleep to the kid.

Textile design

Textiles create a cozy atmosphere. It makes the room unique and expressive. In the nursery, it is usually not recommended to use bright colors. But, fortunately, this does not apply to textiles. Tender, bright colors and various prints are appropriate here - 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 children's textiles is naturalness and hypoallergenicity. It is better to use cotton and linen fabrics and to abandon synthetics.


    

Finishing materials

The choice of finishes for the children's room - a crucial task. It is necessary that it meets the following conditions:

  • visual appeal for a child;
  • security;
  • hypoallergenic.

For the walls use paint, decorative plaster, wallpaper - paper, non-woven, fabric. A unique atmosphere will help create a wallpaper. And for lovers of painting, coloring wallpapers will be a gift. You can put laminate, cork, carpet or parquet on the floor. Each of these materials has strengths and weaknesses, but they are all safe for the health of the child.

       

Accessories, decor and toys

To decorate the children's room there are many options. Vinyl stickers, photo frames, posters will make the interior colorful and unique. If a child is afraid to fall asleep in the dark, luminous stickers or the Starry Night light come to the rescue. Let's not forget about the useful developmental decor - maps - geographical and starry sky, clocks, calendars, alphabets, magnetic boards, stadiometers. While playing, children learn to determine the time, work with the measuring scale, memorize the names of countries and cities, learn languages. It looks great decor, created by hand. Select the bookcase or shelf and place there crafts, drawings, applications of your baby.


    

Features of the bedroom according to age

Even if you do not plan to relocate the child in the first month, the arrangement of the bedroom should not be left to the last moment. After the repair, it should take at least a couple of weeks for the smells of finishing materials to 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 his mother. In the baby's room, a safe bed, a comfortable changing table, a feeding chair and a chest of drawers with drawers for baby clothes and diapers are needed. Over time, the room is filled with rattles, modules, soft toys.
Room for a child in 2-3 years - the space for games and development. It contains a zone with a car park or doll furniture and crockery. The crib is replaced by a full-fledged sleeping place, a table for drawing and designing appears. It's time to get a sandbox room and a tent. On the walls you can place colorful wallpapers 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 themed decoration of the room would have been most welcome. 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 an area for placing tools, easels, sports equipment.

    

In the room of the student it is worthwhile to install combined furniture. Combined workplace and bed - an excellent solution to the problem of lack of space. Allowance should be placed on the walls for study - geographical map, alphabet.
If you are going to arrange a room for a teenager, you need to consult with your child. Perhaps your tastes do not match and this is normal. Do not be surprised if he chooses black wallpaper or decorates the walls with challenging posters, wants to implement a production loft or English style. This is just a way of self-expression, an attempt to end the childhood. Give the teenager an attic, and his joy will never end. Here, away from the parents' bedroom, no one will disturb him to listen to music, play the guitar and even arrange parties.

Bedroom for a boy

Acceptable any colors and styles other than frankly maiden - pink, lilac. In the boy's room is better to refrain from a large amount of furniture. Active games require free and secure space. Chandeliers, hanging shelves - everything that can be brought down is better to be excluded from the interior at the project stage. More appropriate here will be a sports corner and thematic furniture - a bed in the form of a car or a yacht.


    

Bedroom for a girl

Contrary to the well-established opinion of adults, not all girls dream of white and pink bedrooms. There are lots of colors that will make the interior refined and delicate. For example, mint, sky-turquoise, lilac shades on a beige, white or milky background. It is better to use light furniture of the graceful form, a mirror and a refined decor. A vibrant range of lively bright prints, accessories.


    

Bedroom for children of different sexes

Equipping a room in which two children of different sexes will live together is not an easy, but manageable task. If the area of ​​the room allows, put a partition and make out the "halves" in different styles. Ideally, if the room has two windows, then the room can be completely isolated. If this is not possible, we divide the space visually, using different ones:

  • 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. The schoolboy should more properly take a seat at the top - the light from the window will fall on his writing desk. A place to play a younger brother or sister is better to place on the lower level.

Conclusion

Making a children's room you need to remember - exquisite style and expensive accessories - that's fine. But it is much more important that your child’s “small world” is comfortable, and most importantly, safe.
