The area of the room should be used rationally so that the nursery has everything necessary and at the same time has enough space. The choice of color combinations is not less significant component in the interior. Some colors can soothe, promote physical or mental activity, others, on the contrary, irritate, cause anxiety or increase hyperactivity. Therefore, to create a suitable atmosphere in the nursery, you must first familiarize yourself with useful recommendations from experienced designers.
What is interesting to the child
To choose a suitable theme for the design of a nursery, you should consider the preferences of children. Of course, a newborn baby can not tell anything about their interests, so the room for the crumbs are made up in gentle and soothing colors. When the baby is 6 months old, bright details should be added to the room, which will contribute to the harmonious development. The room of the grown-up child can be supplemented with stylistic elements or completely redo the interior under the chosen theme.
Boys and girls will enjoy the nautical stylistic trend in various variations. The theme of the sea is very extensive, you can add images and details of ships, steering wheels, lifebuoys, treasure chests or pictures of sea floor landscapes with underwater inhabitants, fish, mermaids into the room. Children will be interested to play in the Indians, especially if you put the wigwam in the room and place the ethnic decor. In the nursery, you can create a real jungle or a fairy forest with animals. Young astronomers and astronauts will like space themes. Images of animated, fabulous, book characters and cute animals will also decorate the room and create a positive mood. The room of a teenager boy can be designed in a loft style and add details related to the automobile or sports theme. A girl on older will suit a room made in a romantic Provence style with an abundance of floral arrangements and patterns.
Room planning and zoning
Proper room zoning adds more comfort, the child is easier to learn to maintain order. To divide into separate zones a room in which two and more children live is very important, this allows you to allocate for each your personal space.
In the nursery it is necessary to distinguish three main areas:
- game;
- for sleep and rest;
- training.
In the sleeping area, in the center of the room or against the wall, there is a bed, sometimes with a bedside table. If a bunk bed is installed in a room for two children, then it is necessary to additionally put a sofa. The sleeping area is separated with the help of special podiums, curtains, screens, racks, partitions, and figured structures made of drywall.
The furniture should be arranged in such a way as to free the center or another part of the room for the play area. On this site have shelves, shelves, boxes or baskets for toys. If the floors are not equipped with a heating system, then a carpet must be laid in the play area. It is possible to separate the territory for games not only by screens or partitions, but also with the help of the Swedish wall or rope ladders. You can decorate the walls of the playing area with bright colors or spectacular children's photo wallpapers. When the child becomes older and stops to get involved in toys, the play area is reincarnated into the living room, where the teenager can receive his guests.
When a child is three years old, he needs to organize a place where he can draw, make crafts, applications and develop creative skills. For this there will be enough a nice children's table and a small stool. Closer to the school age student must be provided with a full-fledged workplace. On the desk light should fall on the left side, do not forget to get a desk lamp. In the working area, a shelf system is installed for storing training accessories. On one of the walls you can place a geographical map or a board on which it is interesting to draw with crayons or markers.
In the nursery, where two children live, it is necessary to designate two sleeping areas, two work areas and one play area, in which separate places will be provided for each child to store personal belongings. Zones for children of different sexes are highlighted in different colors. For example, for a girl, gentle pink, for a boy, warm green.
Security
Certainly a safe atmosphere in the room where the child is, a must for responsible parents. For children's equipment, preference should be given to natural, environmentally friendly components. For painting and plaster it is necessary to choose proven materials with hygienic certificates. It is better to exclude plastic, foam panels from the finish, and instead use paper wallpaper or paint with safe paints.
Any possible danger in the child’s room should be foreseen and neutralized.
On the sharp corners of the furniture should be fixed softening pads. Plastic windows should have an opening lock mechanism. For safety reasons, the sockets are closed with special plugs, and radiators and batteries with protective screens. Breakable glass, dangerous cutting objects, heavy mounted paintings, unstable furniture structures should be excluded from the territory of a small child.
Room functionality
Being in a child's child grows, develops, acquires new skills. Therefore, it is important that the toys have their places. Placing on the shelves and removing items in the boxes, the baby learns to order. It is important that the child can easily get things out of the closets, so he quickly learns to put on clothes and keep order in the wardrobe. If the crumb seeks to paint the walls, you can buy him an easel in a toy store, it is more convenient and more interesting to express creative impulses. Looking at the small details on the wallpaper or carpet well develops children's imagination. Indoors there should be enough space for outdoor games.
Sports section
A young person should develop in all directions. For the development of physical dexterity and health promotion in the nursery it will be useful to establish a sports area. Even in a small room, it is possible to choose a compact design that does not take up much space. The sports corners of the L-shaped type are well suited to small-sized rooms. They are attached to the wall and do not take much space. In order to save space, some manufacturers produce sports corners, which can be part of a bed, table or bedside tables. In spacious rooms you can put the design, made by the type of the letter "P". Such equipment is more functional.
Sports corners, in most cases are made of wood or metal. Wood products are environmentally friendly, while metal products have high strength and are able to withstand several children at the same time.
Constructions for physical training can have different components:
- the main element of the wall bars;
- gymnastic rings, horizontal bars, horizontal ladders allow you to strengthen the muscles of the arms and abdomen;
- ropes, nets, rope ladders train all muscle groups and develop willpower;
- basketball and ring help to improve coordination of movements;
- Boxing bags and punching bags are used for practicing punches.
For security purposes, a soft mat, mattress should be added to the sports corner. The design can be decorated with light decorative details to match the theme of the children's room.
Finishing materials
Suitable finishing materials for children should be as safe as possible. This must be taken into account before starting repairs. Let's try to figure out how to make the room beautiful, comfortable, safe, and what you need to use.
Floor
For flooring in the nursery, the ideal option would be a tree. Laminate is made on a natural basis, it can not bring harm to the health of the child, this material can also be used. The main thing is that the surface is not slippery. Therefore, you should not apply too thick a layer of varnish on the parquet, and it is better to purchase laminate with a pronounced texture. Cork floors are an excellent option for a child's room, they are durable, warm, anti-bacterial, do not slip, do not cause allergic reactions. It is more reasonable to refuse synthetic linoleum.
Ceiling
In the nursery, it is possible to use stretch ceilings. The main thing is that this material has a quality certificate with compliance with all sanitary and hygienic requirements. By the way, vinyl wallpaper is often unfairly accused of isolating carcinogens. This is not true, they can not harm human health, they can be used to finish the ceilings in children's rooms. The surface can also be whitened or pasted over with paper wallpaper.
Walls
In the interior of the nursery it is permissible to use paints, but not all. Safe formulations on the packaging are marked "for children's rooms" or the word KID in the title. With such paints you can repaint the walls as much as you like, which is very important for the children's room, because kids often stain everything around. Hypoallergenic paints with silver ions are not only safe for health, but also resistant to various contaminants. From the surface, painted with such a composition, it is easy to wash off any stains with detergent. Paper and vinyl wallpaper can also be used for wall decoration in the nursery.
Color spectrum
Room for the child must be performed in a calm, pastel shades, which are then added bright elements. It is acceptable to combine calm and rich colors. It is not recommended to use too many bright details, it can make the room less comfortable and increase the hyperactivity of children.
Particular caution is to apply bright red and orange colors, which tend to irritate and bore in great abundance.
Dark, closer to black colors, often act depressingly on the psyche. Green and bright yellow colors have a positive effect on psychological development. Pale pink, soft blue shades soothe and lull, which is why they are so popular in the rooms of newborn babies. All variants of blue and purple contribute to mental activity, help to focus. There are a lot of successful color combinations for children, turn on the imagination, and you can come up with an interesting solution. The most important thing is to create indoors a harmonious atmosphere in which the child will be comfortable and interesting to grow while developing.
Multifunctional lighting of the nursery
First you need to provide maximum natural lighting. Enough sunlight must penetrate the nursery. Ideally, room windows face east or southeast. Daylight on the north side will not be enough, because of this, the child may feel sluggish and drowsy.
As for artificial lighting, it should be located in each separate zone: sleeping, playing and training. In the area intended for games should be bright lighting. In the study area above the desk place the lamp on the left side or put a desk lamp. On the territory for rest and sleep, a source with an average level of illumination is installed; often, a single night light is enough in the sleeping area.
Textile design
It is desirable to choose curtains from natural cotton fabric. At the same time, they should be dense enough so that you can create comfortable lighting for daytime sleep. To ensure that pillows, bed linen and bedspreads are not a source for allergic reactions, it is important to select them from safe hypoallergenic materials. Bedspread can be chosen to match the curtains or emphasize the overall style in the interior. Often the babies' room is decorated with a canopy over the bed. This decor is appropriate in the nursery for an older girl. The canopy, by passing the decorative function, additionally protects the child from insects, hides from the sun and moonlight. Woolen carpets should not be laid on the floor in the children's room; this can cause allergic reactions. It is better to buy nylon or polypropylene carpeting. Textiles are available in a wide range. Therefore, it will not be difficult for you to choose interior items that perfectly complement the chosen direction in the design of the room.
Popular styles used for the design of children
For young dreamers, the marine style is ideal for a room with a blue-blue color scheme and themed elements of decor. For gentle girls, the room is often decorated with Provence motifs, where there are many delicate shades and floral patterns. Calm kids will feel comfortable in a room made in country style. English or London style interior will be perfect for the growing ladies and gentlemen.

The classic style will never lose its relevance and is the most common in the design of children's facilities.
