Furnishing a room for two children - efficient and beautiful

Repair in the children's room is a problem for parents all over the world. It is necessary to take into account a lot of nuances - to take care of safety, environmental friendliness, practicality of the interior, to take into account the wishes of the small owner of the room and not to go broke. But if you need to equip a room for two children, then you can safely multiply all dilemmas and domestic issues by two. Even children shared similar interests, beloved fairy-tale characters and preferences in choosing colors (which is extremely rare), even in this case, you will have to make a considerable number of compromises in order to develop a unified concept for arranging a children's room for two kids.

What you need to find out before you start planning the design of a room for two children:

• the size and shape of the room (it is advisable to draw a detailed diagram with the application of dimensions);
• number of window and door openings;
• it is important to decide whether the room will be just a bedroom or its functional load will extend to the playing area or the segment of study and creativity (it all depends on the size of the room and the general capabilities of your apartment or home ownership);
• it will be necessary to take into account the difference in the age of the children, if any;
• hold a detailed conversation with the children (if they are already old enough to conduct conversations) on the topic of how they would like to see their room, because it is for them that this small universe will be an integral part of life for several years;
• you will need to try to find a compromise in the color schemes that will suit both children, as well as the choice of fairy-tale, animated or other characters, whose images may possibly take part in the decor of the room.

If the room for two children will be used mainly as a bedroom, the most favorable design option will be a light color palette. The neutral shades of the walls will allow the children's mind to calm down after a busy day, relax and get ready for bed. The light palette not only calms emotions, but also gives a feeling of freedom, lightness, freshness.

For parents who believe that light wall decoration in a nursery is an impractical and easily soiled option, we can say that there will be no difference in color if you choose a wall covering that can be cleaned or washed. But a bright color scheme will visually increase the room, which is important for a room in which you need to place at least two beds, storage systems and more.

A light palette of finishes will be a great backdrop for any decor in a children's room. Even soft paintings or photographs will become accent spots in such an environment.

An interesting option for decorating the wall with the beds standing is the installation of wall panels covered with soft textiles. Such an attractive and safe way to design an accent wall is suitable for beds without a headboard.

In the case of light finishes, a dark accent wall will be very handy. The plain color of the walls only at first glance may seem boring, it is very easy to diversify it. All kinds of decor - children's drawings in frames, toys on open shelves, children's collectibles. When the children grow up, it will be possible to simply replace the outdated decor without changing the decoration of the room.

An alternative to all shades of white can be any pastel tone for wall decoration or wallpaper in a small, soft drawing, ornament. In the case of light walls, you can apply a brighter or variegated palette for the decor of window openings, use curtains with a pattern.The same goes for the carpet and textile design of the beds.

You can diversify the monochromatic wall decoration in light shades with the help of sticker stickers. Now on sale there is a huge range of stickers on any topic, it will not be difficult to find a suitable option for both children. They are easy to apply, and this can be done with children. In addition, you can stick different drawings by the bed of each child, thereby zoning the room.

Another way to eliminate the monotony of wall decoration is to paint them manually with paints, creating an image that is similar in spirit to both children. In this case, you will have to turn to a specialist, if only you yourself do not possess the necessary artistic skills. The incredible and unique design of the room, for sure, will delight children for a long time.

The white color of the finish, for example, is incredibly easy to combine with any other shade. Just changing curtains in the nursery or bedspreads, you get a new interior and fresh emotions for the children. This simple technique is used by designers and homeowners around the world.

The white color of the walls and ceiling will be the ideal solution for a room located in the attic with a non-standard design, tapered ceilings and complex geometry. To diversify the light, almost snow-white palette of the room, you can draw an accent wall, which has the head of the bed. Bright colors of the accent wall will not prevent the children from falling asleep, and during the day they will become a bright focal spot and bring an element of personality to the room.

In a snow-white room, designing an accent wall, you can, as they say, “kill two birds with one stone” - use the mural with a map of our country or the world, or maybe your city. Thus, you not only dilute the color scheme of the room, add an element of personality, but also put your hand to the education of children.

If you design the walls of the nursery in a light tone, then in addition to traditional painting or wallpapering, you can use wall panels of a similar shade. If you use rack modification of the panels, then placing them vertically, you can visually increase the height of the room by placing the rack product horizontally - expand the space.

If you know that the process of falling asleep does not cause problems for your children and bright colors or colorful drawings of wallpaper on the walls are not a reason for emotions, then you have a huge range of color solutions, various prints and methods of decorating walls. But only you know which wallpaper pattern your children will like - animals, cartoon characters, comics or fairy tales, or maybe just an image of clouds.

Many of us enjoyed looking at the floral patterns on the walls before going to bed. Modern children in this regard are not much different from their parents, and the floral ornament on the wallpaper may appeal to both of the little inhabitants of the room. Colors from the blue palette will give the room a cool (blue, turquoise, mint, green), and yellowish, orange, beige, terracotta shades will saturate the space with warmth.

A colorful pattern of wallpaper will be relevant if the whole room is designed in a certain theme - favorite animals, heroes or activities. The marine theme in the design of a room for boys can manifest itself not only in the use of striped textiles and white and blue shades. Drawings with ships, anchors and other life attributes of young sailors will delight the owners of the room.

The stereotype that all girls love pink only partly is so. Many girls and even girls really like many shades of pink, so why not respect the little princesses and decorate the bedroom in pink? You can calm down a riot of pink tone with the help of white, gray shade and glass, mirror surfaces.

The saturated colorful color of the walls can be the highlight of the interior for two teenagers. If the color of the walls is dark enough, then in addition to a light ceiling, pastel shades of the flooring can be used for contrast.

Of course, the main pieces of furniture in the children's bedroom will be beds. In the event that the bedroom also plays the role of a playroom and student room, the need to install storage systems for clothes and toys (or school supplies, depending on the age of the children), a desk (or two) is added to the berths, in some cases additional soft zone.

If the sleeping room for two children cannot boast of large sizes, if in addition to the bedroom, you also need to place a training, play area in the room, then the bunk bed will save you a lot of useful space.

A bunk bed is a small world that a child can arrange according to his taste - provide curtains, stick luminous stars on the "ceiling" of his house, which is actually the bottom of the bed of the upper tier.

The first option that immediately comes to mind for most parents who are faced with the task of distributing beds is the parallel arrangement of beds. This is a convenient and practical solution for rooms of large and medium sizes.

Usually with this arrangement of beds, a chest of drawers or a bedside table is installed between them. Ideally, this will be a double piece of furniture that will provide children with an individual storage system for all the little things that should be what is called “at hand”. Or, you can simply divide chests of drawers among themselves. On the surface of the cabinet or bedside table, you can install a pair of table lamps to illuminate each bed, otherwise it will be necessary to mount the lamps to the wall.

The soft head of the beds is not only safe and comfortable, but also very beautiful. Soft headboard decoration will be appropriate both in the girl’s room and in the bedroom for boys, you only need to decide on the textile and color palette.

If the beds are located along the walls, perpendicular to each other, there is more free space for games in the room, but the approach to the bed is provided only on one side. For most small room owners, this fact is not a problem.

If the room is rectangular and its length is enough to arrange the beds one after another, then this option will also save a lot of useful space in the children's room. Having the beds by the window, you free up the whole wall under a large system of cabinets or to organize a sports corner.

Another way to place two beds in one room is to place beds on two levels, but not with a bunk bed. Sleeping places are located one above the other perpendicularly. In the space under the upper tier, you can arrange a storage system or a corner for creativity.

If in the room the children will not only sleep, but also play, study, engage in creativity, then, obviously, the list of necessary furniture for you is expanding. With storage systems for children there are always many dilemmas, a lot of nuances must be taken into account. After all, it will be necessary to store not only clothes, shoes and accessories, but also toys, books, board and not only games, sports equipment.

Obviously, with the growth of children, their needs, skills and hobbies change, and parents can not afford to make repairs every 2-3 years, depending on the new addictions of their children. As for storage systems for toys, it will not be difficult to modify them for book racks when the children grow up and become schoolchildren.As for storage systems for clothes and shoes, for kids it is better to use drawers with limiters (the fewer doors open, the fewer reasons for injuries) or metro doors with a fixed stop, which simply can not harm children's handles.

A wall with window openings is usually empty. Therefore, it will be rational to place storage systems in the lower part of the wall (to the window sills) and between the windows. If the cabinets in the lower tier can be either oar or contain drawers, then the use of open shelves will be more harmonious for the upper tier. Toys, colorful book covers, collectibles or sports equipment on open shelves will diversify the bright palette of the room and become bright accents.

In addition to beds and a bedside table or a chest of drawers between them, a small addition to the ensemble of sleeping furniture will be small atamanki or poufs, on which children could sit down when they change clothes.

If the room for two children allows, then in addition to the standard set of furniture, you can install a small table and chairs for games or even small chairs, the upholstery of which is designed in the general color scheme of the room.

For parents who need to place sleeping places for three, or even four children in one room, the issue of effective space arrangement is much more acute. The decoration of the room and its decoration fade into the background, the main issue is the ergonomic, but at the same time rational arrangement of furniture. One bunk bed in this case can not do.

Two bunk beds in parallel are the only option for a small room. In this case, it will be necessary to ensure sufficient distance between the sleeping complexes for convenient placement of all the residents of the room. In this case, there may not be any space left for storage systems; drawers at the bottom of the beds can partially solve this problem.

If the room is long enough, then the bunk beds can be placed along the wall one after another. Light furniture is preferable in this case. Nevertheless, the construction will turn out to be rather bulky, and the white color will give it lightness and weightlessness.
