Room for a boy - 2019 design

Creating a design for a children's room is a series of endless dilemmas and solutions to difficult issues - it is necessary to correlate the room’s capabilities (its size and shape, layout) with the age of the child, his needs and interests, choose safe and environmentally friendly materials and furnishings, but keep in mind that new repairs do not around the corner, because the addictions of your child are changing. How then, not only to remain within the framework of the financial estimate for a small reconstruction or global repair, but also to please the wishes of the child, not to go against his opinion and requests? In this publication we will try to find answers to all these questions in relation to the boy’s room. We hope that the 100 best photo design projects of children's rooms for boys of different ages will help you to be inspired by your own achievements and create a dream interior.

Of course, the main factor affecting the design of the children's room is the age and height of the baby. Obviously, the age of the child determines not only the composition of the interior, but also the very concept of design. Of course, there are things that every child needs, regardless of age, for example, a berth corresponding to his height. But otherwise, the decor of a child’s room can vary greatly.

In addition to age, the concept of designing a nursery is influenced by such important factors as:

• the size of the room - even a minimal set of interior items can hardly be placed in a small room, and in a spacious nursery you can literally organize a center for development, sports and creativity;
• the location of the room relative to other premises of the dwelling, the number of door and window openings - the weight of these factors affect the layout of the interior;
• the children's location relative to the cardinal points, the level of natural light - affect the choice of color palette and the number of lighting devices;
• the child’s temperament, level of development, hobbies and interests - affect color solutions, a set of furniture, sports equipment (if there is room for them) and additional interior elements;
• financial opportunities for parents - the range of finishing materials, furniture and decor in modern stores is presented in an incredibly wide price range, it is obvious that for every family it is important to find the best option for repair costs and at the same time comply with safety and environmental requirements, aesthetics of the finished result.

Most of the design projects of rooms for newborns, which we see on foreign (and Russian) sites, are most often presented in pastel colors. Delicate light shades literally envelop all surfaces - from wall decoration to textile design of a berth. There are many reasons for that. At first, the child does not care what material the carpet is made of, what quality the walls are glued with wallpaper or whether the chandelier can be broken by aiming the ball into it. The main thing for the baby is a favorable atmosphere in the room where it is located - sufficient temperature, humidity and light. Parents make the first repair to a greater extent for themselves.

Growing up, the child begins to explore the world outside the crib and hands of parents. And in this case, it is already necessary to make sure that the furniture does not have sharp corners, the shelves are screwed to the walls, and the interior elements do not have decor that the child can tear off and try to swallow. The main requirements for the interior at the age when the child begins to move independently can safely be called safety factors.As storage systems, it is best to use open shelving. The fewer door facades on the cabinets, the less likely the child to be injured. Of course, it is not recommended to use storage systems with glass inserts in the doors. If the storage system model contains drawers, then it is necessary to equip them with limiters.

The main requirement for a preschooler’s room is to ensure maximum leisure for the child. Depending on the boy’s temperament and his hobbies, this can be sports, creativity in various directions, or just active games. Obviously, for this it is necessary to free as much free space as possible. The built-in furniture of the attic bed model comes to the rescue, allowing you to save the usable area of ​​the room. If the size of the nursery allows - be sure to equip it with sports equipment - the Swedish wall, a small horizontal bar, a punching bag or a whole sports and game complex will be of great help in the physical development of the boy.

It is in the rooms for preschool boys or primary school students that themed design options are most often used. Passion for any characters of cartoons, fairy tales, comics, or just one of the topics allows parents to show their design abilities and not easily create a standard children's room, and create a truly unique little world as part of a room for sleeping, relaxing, creative work, sports and new ones skills.

For example, marine themes and motives of adventure romance, the spirit of travel, are close to many boys. Convenience for parents also lies in the fact that you can use the whole palette of your favorite many shades of blue ...

Your boy already has a full-fledged workplace (a desk and, most likely, a 2-in-1 computer desk) at the stage of preparation for school. But this does not mean that the toys will completely leave his life, and therefore from the children's room. In storage systems, it is still necessary to take into account the availability of toys, books, stationery, sports attributes and, of course, clothes and shoes.

Experts recommend the use of height-adjustable furniture to create a difficult, practical and ergonomic workplace. There are a lot of tables on sale, the height of the tabletop of which is adjustable. Similar systems are provided for chairs or computer chairs. It is important that the back of the child has the right support - a modern child has to spend a lot of time doing homework.

A schoolboy can already not easily express his opinion in the design of his room, but also take an active part in the selection of all components of the interior. It may not be very interesting for your child in the store of finishing materials, but he will probably want to express his preferences in choosing a color palette, interior themes, choosing furniture, textiles for decorating a greasy place and windows, and choosing a carpet.

Room decoration for a teenage boy is a joint project of parents and a child. It is important to consider the wishes of the son in the choice of color schemes, the general concept of design, furniture and decor elements. After all, it is a children's room that most often becomes a haven of calm, rest and relaxation for a teenager with a difficult rhythm of life. Of course, the facilities of the premises (its size and layout) and the family’s financial budget for the repair of the nursery will largely determine its appearance, but it is important to try to find a compromise between the desires of the son and the resources of the parents.

In adolescence, growth jumps often occur with boys, when literally in one summer a child grows up into several sizes of clothes. In this regard, experts recommend purchasing furniture, which is called growth.Full-length bed, desk, chair or chair with maximum height adjustment, easy-to-use storage systems.

The design of the children's room, of course, has its own specifics. To withstand what is called "purity" of many stylistic trends is quite difficult. And some interior styles are not at all suitable for the design of a children's room. For example, it is difficult to imagine a room for a boy in the style of minimalism, because the children's desire to surround themselves with many interesting objects and the concept of this style are not compatible. But many trends in the design of residential spaces can still be used to create design projects for children's rooms.

The modern style of interior design tends to the maximum possible use of environmentally friendly materials. The use of materials that are safe for humans and the environment has always been relevant, but recently it has become truly total. For the design of a children's room, this trend is relevant like no other, because no parent would voluntarily use toxic, harmful materials for surface finishing or as raw materials for the production of furniture in the premises of their child.

The use of safe, environmentally friendly materials often acts as the basis for the concept of the entire design of the room, often leaving behind issues of aesthetics, practicality and even cost. For example, cork floors or wall panels do not look luxurious, but they are an excellent heat and sound insulation coating for surfaces with the highest level of environmental friendliness.

The use of natural materials is inevitably associated with the cost of the project for a global repair or a small alteration of the children's room. But in most cases, you can find a decent compromise on interior design with any size estimate. For example, the use of natural fabrics to design a bed and drapery window openings is available to almost everyone.

The use of Scandinavian motifs has become another trend in the world of interior design that has been repeating for some time. The use of environmentally friendly materials, the abundance of white, wooden surfaces and the use of contrasts to create a certain visual impulse - all these design techniques can be successfully used in creating the interior of a children's room for a boy. The design is light, but at the same time comfortable, practical, but attractive in appearance, expensive, but safe and environmentally friendly.

As mentioned above, another trend in the design of children's rooms is the use of so-called "growing furniture". Indeed, not only the requirements of practicality, environmental friendliness and ease of use, but also ergonomics are presented to the furniture in the children's room. It is important that the child’s sleeping and working place (desk, computer desk or corner for creativity) is appropriate for the child’s age and height.

If we talk about the most popular color schemes for decorating a boy’s room, then they became neutral colors. White color and all its shades are perfect for finishing small-sized rooms. A light and fresh image can be created even without experience in the field of interior design, in a small room and with minimal skills in combinatorics, because white is easy to combine with any color scheme. But in the weather, in a clean, weightless way, it is important not to get carried away with white, diluting it with bright accents and warm tones, otherwise the room risks becoming like a hospital ward.

The gray color in the trend is not the first season. Its neutrality and versatility attract designers and their customers around the world. Only at first glance, shades of gray may seem boring for use in the design of a children's room. For example, a boy’s room can achieve very beautiful combinations of gray with shades:

• blue and cyan (turquoise);
• peppermint;
• pistachio;
• olive (mustard);
• yellow;
• orange.

Blue is often associated with the design of a room for a boy. Many shades of this color can create interesting images of rooms - from light, light and cool to contrast, dynamic and energetically charged. A wide range of shades of blue gives us the opportunity to choose combinations to create the optimal picture of the interior, depending on the desired end result (temperament of the child, his character, level of activity).

It is not easy for two boys to organize several full-fledged functional zones within one small room at once. But given the fact that the problem of organizing sleeping and workplaces, sectors for leisure and creativity within small spaces has been many years old, designers have accumulated a certain baggage of techniques and methods for optimizing the usable area of ​​rooms of various sizes. The use of two-tier structures is one of the most common ways to save space. Moreover, it is not always a question of organizing two berths. In some cases (usually when boys are living in the same room with a big age difference), it is more expedient to “raise” one of the sleeping places to the upper tier, and to organize a workplace or a spacious storage system under it.

If the area of ​​the children's room allows you to install two beds in parallel to each other - this is ideal for organizing beds, because they will be accessible from almost all sides. In a narrow room, beds can be installed in parallel along the walls and limited to one cabinet or chest of drawers between them. In a room with a square or close shape, you can install the beds perpendicularly, taking one of the corners.

In addition to the difficulty in organizing sleeping places for two boys in a medium and small room, problems arise when installing workplaces - desks or computer desks. Depending on the age difference of the guys, you may need either two full-time jobs or one desk for an older child and a small corner for creativity and activities for a younger one. The least amount of free space will require a simple console, which can be attached to the wall or rely on one support.
