Functional ideas for decorating a small children's room
To place all the necessary furnishings in a small area, it is necessary to correctly take into account the layout, lighting and other non-obvious aspects.
The furnishings of a child's room must include the following furniture:
- bed;
- table;
- chairs;
- closet.
There are sets on sale that are made in the same style. It is better if it is modular furniture - it is easy to rearrange or remove unnecessary items. Also, sets are made to order.
A child needs an organized space. Compact placement of a bed, wardrobe and other furniture disciplines children and teaches them order.
Instead of a wardrobe for babies, a crib with spacious drawers below, where you can put bedding and clothes, will do. The table and chairs should be placed near the window. For compactness, you can choose a folding option.
If there is a niche in the nursery, it is good to place a narrow cabinet with mezzanines there. It is better to make the shelves more functional. If space allows, they can be used for toys, books, games.
Zoning of space in a children's room
The room can be divided into sections according to their purpose. Thus, the area is usually divided into 3 zones:
- gaming;
- sleeping;
- educational.
It is better to buy furniture for the baby in a set. The lower drawers of the crib will act as a small cabinet-nightstand, where you can put things. For toys, you can buy a wicker basket and put it in the corner.
The corner space of the children's room can be used by placing a small narrow cabinet with shelves in this place. For an older child, the option with a Swedish wall is preferable.
It is better not to block the window opening of a small room with furniture, but to distribute it along the walls.
For older children, a study area – a school corner – is placed closer to the source of natural light. It can be compact, have shelves, a tabletop and shelves (drawers) for accessories. The light should fall from the left side.
In a child's room, the sleeping area should be located a little away from the window, but not in the passage. You can think about the option with a corner sofa if the child has already grown up.
Accent on details in a small nursery
To make a child's room more spacious, you can "place" visual accents. This is done with the help of bright single drawings, a contrasting combination of colors (natural tones). The furniture can differ in shade from the wallpaper. They are selected in lighter tones. For a child's room, it is generally recommended to use dull colors (except for accents in the form of drawings, ornaments, appliques).
Furniture in a small nursery looks better natural, and from an ecological point of view, this is the most justified option. A healthy environment is important for a child at any age.
In a room intended for children, try to select only functional furniture. For daytime rest, you can add a small pouf, which you make yourself or buy. The first option is more economical.
For a small room, it is necessary to make the right artificial lighting. In addition to the overhead lamp, you can add a sconce or table lamp if the child has grown up. Another option for a child's room is several ceiling spotlights, with their help you can also zone the space.
It is better to choose straight curtains and tulle, also in light colors, with a muted floral pattern or plain.
When arranging a children's room, focus on the child's needs. The baby needs a play space. The furniture should be arranged so that there is room for entertainment and free movement.
For older children, you can buy a fold-out sofa - a corner or a "book". Also, one of the options can be a compact bunk bed equipped with a ladder.
If you have woodworking skills, you can assemble a crib, wardrobe or shelves with your own hands, think through the finishing and bring this original idea to life.
Ready-made children's rooms
In specialized departments of stores and in companies producing children's models for a small room, you can buy a set in a single style. Designers think through the complete set so that such furniture is as functional as possible - the crib is equipped with drawers, bedside tables or side cabinets are very roomy, the table is made taking into account the height of the baby.
For a small children's room, sets with modules that can be removed if necessary are suitable. Ready-made sets, as a rule, have environmental certificates. You can choose modern sets from foreign and domestic manufacturers. Custom-made furniture items can be somewhat cheaper - you can choose this option.
For a cozy children's room, it is not necessary to use a standard set of items; you can use a combined option. For example, not two or three chairs, but a chair and an ottoman (or a small armchair), a table combined with shelves and drawers, a bed-table, etc.
Ready-made sets are often made with an original design. Many kids like a house bed or a carriage.
When choosing a headset, you should remember that first of all the child should be comfortable in this space, where he can freely play, relax and study.
