Room for the newborn: how to make the space comfortable, safe, aesthetically pleasing (60 photos)

All happy parents consider the birth of their baby a small miracle. One of the main stages of preparation for this event is the preparation of a room for a newborn child.

Here the creative imagination of future parents and their dream of the happiness of their child can be fully realized, because the preparation of a children's room is the first step in the aesthetic education of the baby. There will be many more steps, but the first is always important not only for the child, but also for the parents.

How to prepare a room for a newborn?

Young spouses, who have yet to become parents, often wonder: what should be the room for the newborn? The answer to this question can be given by wise grandparents, professional designers, children's doctors, psychologists. The answers will be different, and they should concern not only the design and arrangement of the room, but also its functionality, safety and impact on the psychological health of the baby. All these aspects are certainly important, and to understand all the intricacies, you need to start with the most important thing - with the repair.

Starting the repair, it is worthwhile to clarify several important points regarding the functionality of the room. The room for the newborn should first of all be isolated from extraneous sounds, be warm, well ventilated, lighted and environmentally friendly. Also, the room for the baby should have adjustable heating, high ceilings and large windows.

The interior of the nursery for the newborn should be made entirely of materials environmentally friendly for the baby. Everything from toys to the floor should be made from natural materials. No chipboard and synthetics!

Wallpaper in the room is better to choose vinyl (they can be washed if necessary), light shades or take special wallpapers that can be painted in any color you like. The main thing is that these are not too bright tones, from which the baby will quickly get tired. The color scheme in the interior of the room for the newborn should be calm, soft shades.

A nursery for a newborn is simply obliged to be the safest place in the house, and therefore the task of parents is to make it so for the baby, and moreover, for more than one year. Ceilings are best not made hinged, but simply painted with anti-allergenic paint. It is also better not to cover the floor with synthetic flooring, but use either a natural wood board or a quality laminate to cover it.

Due attention should also be paid to the lighting and decoration of the children's room. If the windows in the room are small, then it is worth considering the backlight system. The room should not be lit up too brightly (the baby’s eyes can quickly get tired), but dim light is harmful to the eyes, and therefore the distribution of lamps in all areas of the room should be uniform. If the windows are large, then heavy curtains on them will not only collect dust, but also act depressingly. Better let them be of light material and light colors.

Baby Room Interior Styles

The design of the children's room for the newborn will largely depend on the chosen style. The most suitable styles for a room for a newborn will be:

• Modern style. Practical functional furniture, strict lines and colors - this simple and comfortable style for any child's age is also suitable for a baby.
• Modern. This style of charm and elegance can linger in the nursery for a single year.
• The room for a newborn boy can be decorated in a safari style. This is not only an original, but also an educational option for a growing baby. It is so interesting to study different animals from pictures and drawings on the wallpaper!
• Minimalism. This style “loves” nothing more. Practicality and rigor in detail, a minimum of things - this is his motto.
• The interior of the room for the newborn can be decorated in the style of a loft. Visually expand the space and make the room brighter, for example, by contrasting light walls and furniture with bright colors of carpet and curtains.
• Country and Provence are also great for decorating babies' rooms. Furniture for the newborn’s room in these design options should be environmentally friendly, and the “rustic” decor and fresh flowers on the windowsill will help the baby grow in harmony with nature.

Many interesting ideas and other design options for a room for babies can be found on the pages of fashionable interior magazines and on the Internet. The question of how to decorate a room for newborns can be divided into two: how to decorate a room for a girl and how to decorate a room for a boy.

Features of the design of the room for a newborn boy

Of course, the design of a room for a newborn boy is not much different from the design of a room for a girl. The baby still does not care what style and color the interior of the room will be made in. But parents, quite possibly, will want to make a certain emphasis and decorate a room for a newborn boy in a certain light scheme or style, which, in their opinion, is more suitable for a boy.

The classic style with its calm, slightly muffled tones will be an excellent choice for decorating a room for a boy. This style prefers light beige, blue, blue and white colors both in the design of the room and in the choice of color of furniture and decor.

The design of a room for a newborn boy can be done in a marine style or in a safari style. The space of the room can be divided into zones and each of them can be decorated in a certain light range. The main thing is that the room should not be bright and mosaic: 2-3 colors are enough.

According to psychologists, the nature of the future man will depend on the choice of the color scheme of the room, but you should not overload the room with dark colors. They are best combined with light colors. For example, gray can be combined with white and blue.

Features of the design of a room for a newborn girl

The room for the newborn girl is different from the room of the newborn boy - it is more tender. The most classic color schemes for decorating a room for a girl are all shades of pink, peach, white.

A pink nursery for a newborn girl, decorated with flowers, butterflies and hearts on mirrors, walls, furniture and textiles - what is the room of a little princess?

You can also beautifully and stylishly design a room for a girl in Provence style. A style with an abundance of ruffles and lace, embroidery and drapery will from childhood bring up in the girl a love for everything tender and feminine, and plant and animal motifs - a love for nature. The colors of the Provence style are white, beige, pale pink, azure and lettuce.

Furnishing a room for babies

When the repair is completed, it is time to equip the nursery. Furniture and its arrangement in the room for the newborn play an important role in the design.Where to begin? From dividing a room into zones. The kid will grow and develop, so you need to think in advance where there will be a sleeping area, where is the play area, and where to put a chair for feeding the baby.

The bed in the interior of the room for the newborn should not stand near the door or opposite the window. Sockets, electrical appliances, cords and other small or dangerous objects for the child should not be near the bed. For the crib, if possible, you can build a podium or cover it with a canopy. The canopy will help not only to decorate a sleeping place, but also to protect the baby from sunlight during daytime sleep.

In stores for children's rooms sold special sets of furniture for newborns. Such sets, in addition to the usual cabinet, crib, bedside table, include a dresser table (acting as a changing table and dresser), a highchair. Modern furniture for newborns is made lightweight, modular and mobile. It can be rolled over (like a crib on wheels), it can be modeled and remade as needed, or it can be moved to a new place, freeing up space for games.

In the room for the newborn, items such as a chair are mandatory - so that mom is comfortable while feeding her baby. A small sofa - mom also needs to relax during the day. The carpet and boxes for toys will be needed only when the baby already begins to crawl and play.

Thanks to the imagination of parents and their efforts, rooms for newborns are unique. The style of the room, its color scheme, decor items - all this makes the room not like many other rooms. And this is wonderful, because the baby is growing, and for development he needs not only free space, but also many objects by which he can study the world. Color, shape, texture - all this helps in understanding the world and develops a sense of aesthetics in a little man.
