Cozy nursery in a small area
Any kid will eventually need his own autonomous territory. The ideal option is when the child can be allocated a whole room. A twelve-meter space in this case will be quite enough.
Materials and color schemes for a nursery
The modern industry manufacturing finishing materials provides consumers with a whole range of possibilities in terms of interior design. Materials for the nursery in the first place should be as safe as possible. The surface coatings should not contain harmful elements that evaporate and saturate the air in the room with various poisons.
It is best to choose natural materials:
- tree;
- paper;
- natural fabrics.
The color scheme for the nursery is not limited. In this case, it is worth remembering combinations of shades. Even black color in combination with light shades softening it will not depress the baby, but will add originality to the room.
It is generally accepted that the girl’s room should be full of shades of pink, and for the boy, the blue color and its shades will be optimal. At the same time, the fantasies of designers are sometimes made to admire the variety of all kinds of color combinations, which will be comfortable for kids of any gender.
The room of a small child should be sustained in more gentle colors. This contributes to the pacification and peace of the baby. At the same time, a teenager can afford brighter combinations that fit his character.
Furniture for a children's room and ways to save space
Owners of modern apartments often suffer from a lack of free square meters. Usually the smallest of the rooms available in the house is allocated to the child. 12 sq. M in the conditions of modern trends in construction and planning can be considered the average area for a children's room.
In any case, you always want the kid to have more space for active games. Here furniture comes to the rescue, which will save treasured meters.
If the room is designed for two children, then the bunk bed will become indispensable. Choosing such a product, you need to make sure of its quality and safety. The reliability of materials and fixtures should come first in the selection process.
The staircase to the second tier should be durable and comfortable. The process of raising and lowering it should be easy. If the room does not need a bunk bed, then the upper part of the structure can be used for other purposes.
Most often, in addition to the beds are a variety of storage systems. They may look like simple mezzanines or a full-fledged bookcase with drawers and lockable shelves.
Storage systems in the nursery are given special attention. Children tend to collect various items in their room in large numbers. A myriad of toys, books and various unnecessary, but very interesting trash needs to be stored. For this, designers create compact pieces of furniture with multifunctional niches and cabinets.
An important process will be the selection and creation of a workplace for the child. It should be located close to the light source, be equipped with storage systems and fit the size of the needs of the small owner of the room.
The light sources in the children's room should be diverse: from artificial decorative lighting to a large window through which natural light from the street will penetrate.
Windows should be discussed separately. For safety reasons, all the windows in the children's room should be equipped with good locks that would not succumb to the child. In this case, the window should allow regular high-quality ventilation.In addition, it is worth taking care of the elegant lattice, as an additional safety feature for restless curious crumbs.
Decorating a kids room with accessories
In a children's room, an adult can give vent to imagination and decorate it with those elements that cannot be used in a pathos living room or in an elegant study. Bright details with funny stories look very relevant in the interior of the nursery.
A variety of pictures and images of fairy-tale characters will revitalize the plain walls of the room. It will be useful to choose or create some of these pictures with your child and put them in a frame.
For girls, you can make a princess bed with a canopy. The baby will be delighted with the unusual fabulous interior. The shades of the material should be delicate colors, and the fabric itself should be transparent and create a mysterious haze around the crib.
Original lamps can also be a subject of decor and become a highlight of the interior. Diverse in shape and color, the lamps will decorate the ceiling and walls. Table lamps and spotlights can be used to decorate work surfaces and bookshelves.
Some of the fixtures look like works of art. Something can be made together with the baby. This will allow you to distract the child from the computer and TV for a while and take it to a useful and interesting thing.
Another important element of the decor is textiles. All kinds of blankets, capes, decorative pillows will give the room a special cosiness. It is important to correctly combine these elements in color and texture.
Plaids and wraps on the sofa carry not only a decorative, but also a practical function. It is important to keep bedding from pollution, so the presence of a bright bedspread on the baby's bed is also of great hygienic importance.
Window curtains will bring their charm to the interior. It is not necessary that they exactly match the color of the rest of the interior. The classic white tulle will create a feeling of lightness, airiness and purity in the nursery.
Bright curtains are also welcome. They can become a color accent in a room. Various patterns on the fabric will provide the desired mood. Thicker dark curtains reliably hide the room from prying eyes in case of need.
Floor covering for a children's room of 12 sq.m. may be the most diverse. The most common way to cover floors in a nursery is to use carpet.
In this case, you can save heat in the room and protect children's feet from hypothermia. The advantages of this coating can also include a variety of choices of shades, patterns and textures, which are supplied to specialized stores of customers.
A laminate is suitable for a children's room. This is a fairly warm floor covering, which is particularly practical. In addition, for the nursery, where something constantly falls, spills and smudges the floor, such an inexpensive coating will be very useful.
Here I also want to note a wide range of all kinds of shades. A light laminate will visually increase the floor area and make the room brighter. In combination with light walls, you can achieve the necessary illumination even on cloudy days.
Stacked parquet as a flooring in a nursery can only be selected if the child is already old enough to appreciate the beauty of this coating. On the other hand, expensive items in the interior of the nursery will allow the baby to learn how to bear responsibility for their things.
Following simple rules, you can create an amazing room for your child. At the same time, it is not necessary to spend large resources on this. You can only show imagination and spend a little more time.
If you allow the child to take part in the design of the room and propose his own solutions, then the resulting interior will be appreciated by the baby much more.
And when the baby is happy in his bright and bright room, his parents will not be able to stay away and will rejoice with the little owner of twelve square meters.
