Primary requirements

What principles should be followed when choosing furniture and interior decoration in a boy’s room?

  • Be sure to pre-plan the main areas that will be in the room. This is a work area where there is a desk for a teenage student, a recreation area with a bed or sofa, a youth play area with a TV and carpet, a comfort zone where equipment for a child’s hobby can be located. These zones are the main ones, but in each individual case, the parents and the child decide for themselves which zones are in priority and which ones can be excluded or combined with each other. Differentiate zones can be color or decor - for example, the play area can be orange, and the modular work area can be green or blue.
  • The recommendation for small rooms - and in our conditions most apartments are small - it is better to use modular furniture, which will "grow" with the child. Bought when the boy was 5 years old, a children's corner with a full-fledged berth, a convenient wardrobe and a table below, will function properly and when the owner is already 15 years old. But, of course, if space allows, it is better to arrange all the furniture separately, making the room of the children's bedroom a completely comfortable and well-appointed area in a suitable style, without crowding.
  • A desk is usually combined with a computer desk - few people have the opportunity to put a separate desk for lessons in the room and a separate desk for the computer. But there is nothing to worry about - modern computer desks are quite convenient and capable of performing all the functions of writing. In addition, boys over 10 years old often prefer laptops or tablets instead of a stationary computer model, so the question is even more simplified here - for gadgets in this style a separate table is not required. Thus, a teenage bedroom can completely cost one table, but multifunctional.

Sleeping place

It is best, of course, to purchase for a boy, whether he is at least 10 years old, at least three years old, a full bed, and not a sofa. It is the bed that can be equipped with a good orthopedic mattress, which will eliminate the problems with the spine - the scourge of modern teenagers who sit at the computer a lot. And modern cabinet furniture - tables and chairs with the correct height and a good straight back - will complement the preventive effect of the bed.

The bed and mattress should be made of high-quality natural or artificial materials, without the use of toxic and harmful substances.Be sure to make sure of this when buying - there must be quality certificates for furniture and mattresses. This is especially true for furniture for newborns, but youth furniture for a teenager must also meet all safety requirements.

The mattress for newborns, a small boy and a teenager 10 years old and older should be sufficiently rigid and elastic. Immediately buy a bed for growth - reaching 13-14 years, the boy will begin to grow very quickly, thanks to teenage acceleration, so the bed should have a margin of 25-30 cm, which will allow you not to change the bed every year. Modern cabinet furniture allows for such a reserve. A bed in the form of a car will especially please a fry from a year and older.

How to choose furniture

The main criteria by which to choose furniture for a boy’s room.

Appearance

This is a very important criterion. If a child does not like furniture design externally, then all of her orthopedic, functional and other positive characteristics no longer matter to him. If the appearance of this “grandmother's” table will cause rejection in the student, then his unconditional convenience does not mean anything. Therefore, consider modern criteria and consult when choosing furniture with the child himself, consider his wishes. In addition, the appearance creates a certain atmosphere in the room - and if the child likes this look, he will feel comfortable and safe here. For example, a room in a marine style will appeal to both the baby and the teenager 15 years old.

Stability and reliability

This is very important, because boys are not particularly persevering and neat. Plain or modular furniture in their room should be distinguished by increased characteristics of strength and reliability. It is also important that the furniture and the play area do not have sharp dangerous corners, as the boys often actively play pranks and run around the room. To avoid injury to health, the student's furniture should have rounded, smooth lines.

Long service life

No parent wants to regularly update furniture in the child’s room, so it’s better to immediately choose the best quality model of all that you can afford. Such an approach will help not to “bother” with the fact that tables, chairs and a bed break down and break down. But, of course, while the design of the furniture should be appropriate - relevant and fashionable.

A very important criterion is convenience.

It is imperative that the chair and the desk fit the child in height, otherwise he will hunch and spoil the posture. For furniture for newborns, the requirements are similar, especially with regard to convenience and safety.

Features of modular furniture

Choosing the right modular kit, it is better to purchase more different racks, cabinets and shelves. The further the child grows, the more he will accumulate various “treasures”, which of course he will not want to part with. Numerous shelves and racks will allow you to store these things without compromising the space of the children's room. A good youth modular system - very comfortable and ergonomic furniture.

It is better to purchase a cabinet without glasses - boys under the age of 15 are unusually active, and may well knock them out, and at the same time get hurt. It is best to choose open shelving, on which all textbooks, books and other items necessary for the student will be perfectly visible.

Advice

If you make custom furniture in the workshop, then ask to see 3D models beforehand - together with the designer you can easily “assemble” your favorite objects and virtually put them in the child’s room. This approach will greatly facilitate your further design - it will just pick up a suitable design.

Making a teenage room for a boy

As for the quality and safety of furniture for a child’s bedroom, this is understandable to everyone. In addition to these obvious safety requirements, furniture for the boy - especially if he is already out of kindergarten age - must be fashionable and furnished in a modern style. Boys often invite friends to their house, classmates can come to the child - the design of the room should not cause pity and associations with the museum or the interior of the grandmother. Therefore, the color should be chosen wisely, and the interior in a marine style, for example, is perfect for decorating a student’s room.

No need to put huge closets and wardrobes in the boy’s room. It is unlikely that a boy at 10 years old will be too diligent to monitor his clothes and change outfits every day. The cupboard volume for boys needs much less than for a girl. And it is better to use the vacated space for a small corner in a sports style or just leave space for “maneuvers”. The so-called “invisibility cabinet” is ideal for the boy’s room, which is neatly built into the bottom of the bed, completely taking up no space. Also, the boy’s youth bedroom will look great, equipped with a compact and spacious wardrobe of small sizes, it is better - angular. The color of the cabinet is selected according to the interior.

Various modular systems are perfect for decorating a boy’s room for a student. A child from 10 years old can already choose the combination of drawers and shelves that suits him more. Such modular systems are also convenient because, if necessary, they can be expanded by purchasing a couple of drawers or, conversely, reduced by removing what they don’t use. In addition, modular pieces of furniture are easy to rearrange, swap, so the child can easily independently change the design of the room without much effort and additional costs. The modular system is good for newborns as well. The game zone can also be designed in a modular system - for example, in a marine style.

The design of the boy’s room should be bright, lively and interesting - for example, in a marine style. No matter what age the child is, his mind in this case will be able to receive the necessary food for development. Therefore, a dull, gloomy color and dark shades, boring furniture are not recommended. A child must definitely contribute to the design of the room - only in this way will the bedroom become truly “his”. This can be a hand-painted picture on the wall, an airplane model or a large panel of puzzles.

A well-designed boy’s children's room will certainly contribute to the correct and rapid development of his nervous system, perception, artistic talents and other positive personality traits. A modular play and work system for a child’s room can be selected for a child from a year and older.

If you design a room for a teenage boy, he may have “wild” ideas for decorating it. For example, he wants to paint all the walls black or something like that - do not rush in this case blindly follow the wishes of the child. Adolescence with its rebellion and the struggle with patterns will soon pass, and the awkwardly designed nursery will remain. And you will have to make repairs on a new one, spending your time, effort, money and nerve cells. But, say a bed in the form of a typewriter is a very practical and good idea.

It’s better not to buy expensive wallpapers and some too luxurious decor items in the boy’s room, and fine furniture is also useless. Boys love experiments and experiments - it suddenly occurs to him to see how this furniture is arranged, or he will want to draw graffiti on the wallpaper.It is better to dwell on budget options - and not a pity, and the child does not have to scold.

It’s better to choose bright, clean tones for the boy’s room. But at the same time, there must necessarily be some dark details - curtains, a rug on the floor, etc. Still, this is the children's room of a serious man of the future, and a completely bright design is hardly appropriate here.
