The layout of the children's room: the secrets of the parent

Sooner or later, we all think about how to make a children's room in the house comfortable, beautiful and functional. After all, it is necessary to take into account a large number of different nuances, such as the number of children, their age, gender, wishes and preferences, as well as the size of the children's room itself. It is due to the correct approach to the layout of the children's room and the creation of a harmonious interior that the desired result can be achieved.

In this article we will tell you about all the intricacies of creating a layout of a child’s room in the house, we will reveal all the secrets of professional zoning of the room and beautiful, and most importantly functional design. In addition, we will consider all possible options for planning a children's room, based on various requirements. Well, and, of course, we will tell you a lot of simple, but at the same time interesting ideas for implementation.

Age approach

The layout and subsequent design of any children's room in the house primarily depends on the age of the child. Indeed, for each specific age group its own living conditions are required. That is why, first you need to consider all possible options for each individual group.

Newborns

For newborns, the most important thing is a convenient and comfortable berth. After all, most of their time they either sleep, or are in your arms. Accordingly, the main interior item will be a crib.

It is necessary to select it very carefully, because newborn babies are sensitive to everything. First of all, the purchased bed should be made of environmentally friendly material, ideally it should be wooden. The next important quality is its functionality and convenience. The crib should be not only functional, which will greatly simplify your life, but also comfortable for the baby.

It would be reasonable to attach a new chest of drawers to the nursery. After all, such small children very often require replacement, both bed linen and their clothes.

Do not forget the fact that newborns require increased attention to themselves, both in the daytime and at night. Accordingly, it will not be superfluous to attach a small bed next to the baby's bed. Thus, you can not only relax next to your baby in the daytime, but also be around at night.

As for the layout of the premises and the arrangement of furniture, there are only a few points. Firstly, the crib should be installed so that direct sunlight does not fall on it. After all, at least this will interfere with your baby's healthy sleep. And secondly, do not immediately try to make the children's room as functional as possible, acquiring a lot of furniture. While the baby is growing, he needs a lot of free space, and, for example, the same wooden desk will be absolutely inappropriate.

If the room of the children's room has certain features, this will only benefit the child. For example, if the children's room has a balcony, then you can always keep a fresh atmosphere in the room and show your child all the beauties of such a wonderful world.Well, if you are the proud owner of a bay window in the nursery, then your room will always be filled with light and warmth. However, in this case, you must take care of the presence of quality curtains.

When creating a nursery interior, only light shades should be used. Although bright colors are also allowed as complementary colors. If you want to maintain a neutral atmosphere, then the best option would be to use beige wallpaper.

Feel free to use a different decor. The main thing is that it is safe for the baby. It is thanks to the bright and unusual elements in the children's room that the child will have an interest in knowing the world around him. You can use various curtains, both on the windows and above the crib. Stylized wallpapers and various applications will look good.

Preschool age

The layout and arrangement of the room for preschool children is radically different from the previous version. After all, now they need not only a berth, but also a playground, which at the same time can be a living room. Accordingly, the approach here needs a little different.

The optimal solution for arranging a preschooler’s room would be to purchase combined two-story furniture. Combining all the necessary functionality, such furniture fits perfectly into any interior, leaving enough free space for your child’s active games. A wide selection of models and jewelry will allow you to make the right choice.

We should also talk about the playground and the living room. Most often, various soft rugs are used to create such a playground. With the help of such elements, a certain zoning of the room occurs.

If there is a bay window in the children's room, then it is most reasonable to place the playground there. The bay window has a visually separated space and good lighting, so necessary for the kids. The balcony in such a children's room will also not be superfluous.

As for the design and interior of the preschool child’s room, you can already talk about the complete stylization of the room, based on the interests and hobbies of your child. This approach will allow you not only to please your child with your attention, but also to make the room itself bright, colorful and very attractive. You can also equip the room according to the philosophy of Feng Shui, which will fill the room properly with energy.

An ideal option would be, again, using stylized wallpapers. Although there are more exotic options, and even functional ones. These include special wallpapers adapted for drawing.

School age

For school-age children, priorities are changing again. Currently, any modern student needs not only a bed, but also a computer and a desk. That is why here, as in previous cases, we need a special approach.

From the moment they enter the threshold of the school, children become older and their priorities change accordingly. And now they will give preference to a large and functional desk than a playground with soft toys. So, to some extent, you can sacrifice free space in exchange for comfortable and functional furniture. Especially when it comes to specific things like the piano. But do not forget about the living area.

Since children are becoming more accurate over the years, when choosing materials you can consider more interesting options, it is not necessary to dwell on wooden textures. A popular solution today is the use of various plastic models. After all, it is they who combine lightness, compactness and great functionality, which is very important for an adult child.

Now, in the same bay window, it will be wise to place a desk, because the greatest amount of natural light is concentrated there, which will fruitfully affect the activities of your child. You can also leave the bay window free by placing all the furniture along the walls. This approach is often used in elongated rooms, which allows you to create a certain corridor of light.

The process of creating an interior is best carried out together with your child., Which will not only tell you your wishes, but also help to realize all the plans exactly as he sees himself. After all, ultimately, it is up to him to live in this room, and not for you, so you can safely turn all his dreams into reality. Even if the piano is your dream.

Large options

A separate topic is to discuss large families. Of course, a lot - the concept is quite extensive, so we will consider variations with two children in one room. A fundamentally different approach to the layout of the children's room is assumed here, because it is necessary not only to create coziness and convenience, but also to conduct competent zoning of the room in order to create a certain personal space for each of your children and leave space for the living room.

It is best to perform zoning in narrow rectangular rooms. Material for separation can be both screens and decorated curtains. Furniture and multi-level zoning floors are not recommended.

Children's room for boys

Undoubtedly, the layout and interior design of the room depend, first of all, on the age of the brothers. Indeed, in childhood they have the same interests and preferences, and as they grow, they change.

But, one way or another, it is necessary to carry out zoning of the room, because the presence of personal space is extremely necessary for each child. However, the zoning options very much depend on the area of ​​the children's room, but in general, the following are considered the most optimal zoning:

• Two sleeping areas.
• Two working areas.
• One recreation area.

Sleeping areas can be equipped in different ways. It all depends on the chosen furniture. The most common options are to use either two small twin beds, or one bunk bed. In the first case, more free space is needed. However, it is possible to carry out better zoning by dividing the beds with a partition. You can use the same curtains as a separator of bedrooms. In the second case, if you install a bunk bed, you get more space for the rest of the design decisions, without losing the functionality of the bedroom.

Working areas, in any situation, must be carefully divided. After all, boys are most often active, and they simply can interfere with each other during classes. However, with the modern choice of furniture, I think there will not be any special problems. The main emphasis here is on the selection of a compact and functional table. You can consider the use of folding options. It is necessary to place them separately, the best option would be to make each boy his own separate corner. Often, along with screens, curtains are also used for zoning.

A recreation area or living room can be made common, because it is much more fun to relax and play together. Here the main emphasis must be placed on its safety. At guys dominated by active games, respectively, various falls and bruises will simply be inevitable.

The best option would be to place the nursery in a room with a balcony. This is especially true for the boys' room. Because of their active lifestyle, they just need a large influx of fresh air. If there is a bay window in the children's room, and the dimensions of the room allow, then the best option would be to divide the entire room into two halves. Thus, everyone will have their own clear personal space. Similar options are appropriate in any narrow rooms.

As for the creation of the interior, here it is necessary to take into account the wishes of both guys. Ideally, you need to find a certain compromise that will suit each of them, and in accordance with this, and carry out a complete stylization of the room. Neutral options are not recommended, because the guys will not be psychologically easy to live together, and with the help of stylization you will bring a certain note of diversity to their daily life.

Children's room for girls

In general, arranging a nursery for two girls will not be more difficult than the previous case. You can even act by analogy, but you need to take into account some nuances, in particular, as in the previous case, Feng Shui is not suitable here.

If the boys can’t find a common language of work among themselves, then girls have a hard time living together. Here it is necessary to more clearly delineate the personal space of each of the daughters, especially sleeping areas, giving them the necessary psychological comfort. Do not forget about creating a common living area. If you can choose the room itself, give preference to a narrow but elongated room.

The first thing to learn is that there should not be any oversized furniture in the nursery. It negatively affects the psychological state of girls. Focus on compact and functional furniture and various textile decor, at least on the curtains.

Further, girls, although not as active as boys, still at an early age require space for their activity. And do not limit them in this, various accessories and decor should not interfere with their active games. So in advance it is worth taking care of creating a playground.

Unlike boys, it is harder for two girls to adapt to life together. Accordingly, in a hurry with the zoning of the room is also not worth it. Let the sisters try different options, experiment, and you, in the end, will realize the most optimal. This will not only help girls to maintain a common language, but also to a certain degree will accustom them to order.

When it comes to creating a certain interior or a complete stylization of a children's room, then, as in the case of two boys, it is necessary to take into account the preferences and wishes of both children. With a balcony or bay window, you will have more opportunities, especially if the children's room is narrow. This process is one of the most complex, but at the same time creative and exciting. However, if you can find an option that suits everyone, and then, together with your daughters, implement it, you can be completely sure of its suitability.

Children's room for heterosexual children

One of the special cases is the presence of two heterosexual children. To arrange a nursery for them is no more difficult than in other cases. The main thing is to understand two fundamental principles:

• Mandatory zoning of the premises.
• General and at the same time different stylization.

In the case of heterosexual children, zoning of the room is a priority. Indeed, you must admit that it will not be easy to live with your brother and sister in the same room; in any case, they need personal space. The most common option will be to achieve this by dividing the room in half. In this case, the sleeping area must be separated by partitions or at least curtains. You can leave space for a common playground and living area, which is no less important, even if your children are heterosexual.

If you want to make a single room stylization, then you need to use the general theme of the hobbies of your same-sex children. An example of this is the nursery, decorated in the style of the jungle, but such options are good only for small heterosexual children. The best solution would be to visually divide the room using colors and decor.

As for the design of the walls, in this case, you can use two different types of wallpaper. Due to this, it is possible to emphasize the created zones in the room. However, it is worth remembering that it is better not to go far from the chosen style.

Children's room for children of different ages

If we leave the psychological question of the residence of two children of different ages, then no problems are observed here. It is only necessary, again, with the help of the zoning of the room, to clearly distinguish between the areas.

If we are talking about adults and young children, possibly even heterosexual, then from the point of view of functionality, each of them will need its own specific furniture and space. A bunk bed will be inappropriate here, it is best to purchase two separate. Moreover, you can pick them up based on the necessary sizes and preferences of your children. For the youngest child, you can arrange a playground. In this case, you must not forget about the zoning of each child’s bedroom, especially if your children are heterosexual. Curtains are best, especially if the children's room is narrow, but the wallpaper in this case can be used in the same style.

As for the storage of personal items, it will be prudent for the older child to place his goods higher, respectively, the baby will store his things below, in the zone of his reach. This will help to accustom the youngest child to order and instill in him an understanding of personal space.
