What should be an orphanage. What should be in the children's room? Design of the study and leisure zone

We equip the nursery

Space: for sleeping, relaxing and playing

One of the most common mistakes when planning a nursery is that the child is given the smallest room in the house. Well, how about, you say? He is small, but we are big. Of course, we are big. Our territory is the whole apartment: living room, bedroom, kitchen with dining area. The child, like the parents, should have their own territory for recreation, games and study. After all, kids need a place where they can run wild, jump around and vent their energy. Therefore, if possible, the nursery should be made large, especially if the child is not alone. The nursery itself should be divided into zones for sleeping, entertainment and activities.

Finish: blue or pink

What is there to think, you say? Blue for a boy, pink for a girl. This is what many parents do, not particularly bothering. Meanwhile, many child psychologists consider these pink-blue shades not the most favorable for the emotional state of the child. It is believed to be cold Blue colour oppresses and suppresses, and hot pink irritates.If you definitely want to use bright colors - use it, but for individual elements furniture or decor: cabinet doors, curtains, desk lamp, mats, cushions and so on.
A suitable finishing option is neutral pastel colors: light green, pale yellow, peach, beige. Remember that the child in the nursery not only plays, but also learns, rests, sleeps. Bright colors can become unwanted irritants.

Paint or wallpaper: pros and cons

As a wall finish, many experts recommend using a hypoallergenic water-based emulsion. This is a good option, but only until the children master pencils, paints and felt-tip pens. At this point, it is better to replace the paint with paper or washable wallpaper that can be easily re-glued or wiped off, and which is so interesting for children to draw on. In addition, by updating the wallpaper, you can easily change the design of the nursery for a grown child.
Often, parents simply cover the walls with children's white paper, special coloring wallpaper, or paint with chalk-able paint, allowing kids to realize their artistic needs.

Lighting: take care of baby's eyes

Think over the lighting of the nursery: this is not an option where you can save money. You don’t want a child’s vision problems, do you? In addition to the obligatory ceiling chandelier, add auxiliary light sources: a bright lamp on the desktop, lighting play area, a sconce by the bed, which the child can independently turn on if necessary. When planning the lighting of the nursery, do not forget about additional sockets for the children's room: make sure that there are enough of them for all the necessary electrical appliances, plus, they should be comfortable and safe. Pay attention to the height of the switches in the nursery so that the child can easily reach them and independently turn the light on and off.

Furniture: functional, comfortable, beautiful

The nursery should have three main pieces of furniture: sleeping area, wardrobe and table for games and activities. Other pieces of furniture - racks, shelves, cabinets and chests of drawers can be added at your request. Will fit very well in any design of the children's room soft bean bags A: Children love them very much.
If you choose neutral colors to decorate a children's room, the furniture can be brighter, more contrasting. In addition, nothing limits your imagination in choosing the shape of wardrobes and beds: a boat bed, a car bed or a treehouse bed - an endless range of options for a baby's bed. But for a teenager, it is best to choose a classic bed.
It is very important for students to equip workplace- a table and an armchair: an armchair adjustable in height, a table - with several drawers or shelves for storing notebooks, textbooks and other stationery.

Storage: a lot and everywhere

No matter how much you plan lockers, chests of drawers, chests and boxes, it will still not be enough - in children's things they accumulate at the speed of light. Everything will be there, so use every possible storage space - under the table, under the bed, under the window sill, on the walls and on the floor. So you have at least some chance to accustom the baby to discipline and keep order in the nursery. We even dedicated a separate article.

Floor: carpet or carpet

- I need an inexpensive and practical cover on the floor of the nursery.- How many children do you have, madam?- Six- Madam, better asphalt ...
Children love to play on the floor. They generally like to do everything on the floor. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure that they are comfortable. Often, parents cover the floor of the children's room with carpet. This is a good option, but exactly as long as the child does not spill cherry or tomato juice, drops the paint ... Even after the most thorough cleaning, the stains will still remain. There are two options to choose from: replacing the coating once a year, or choosing a pattern in which the stains simply will not be noticeable.More good option- linoleum or laminate, over which a thick soft carpet or carpet is thrown. Of course, children can color the carpet and rug just like the upholstery, but the carpet is much easier to roll up and take to the dry cleaners.

Play area: for activity and independence

A place for games, especially for hyperactive kids, must be equipped with great care. A sports corner with a horizontal bar, a Swedish wall and other gymnastic equipment can be installed here. Separately, it is necessary to provide for a place for storing toys, one that the child can use on his own. A large beautifully designed box or a plywood chest with a light lid can act as such storage. Dolls and soft toys can be stored on special low shelves or the lower shelves of the racks, if they are in the nursery. It is important that all these places are accessible to the child - so he will quickly develop independence skills.

Decor

Like any other room, the nursery should be beautiful. It is better to arrange it in one, atmospheric style: Mediterranean, country, Provence - depending on the tastes of the child. Try to leave room for the work of the baby himself, pictures, panels or photo wallpapers with favorite characters from books or comics. An older child can take part in the design of his home, moreover, he should be the main designer, because this is his territory, so be sure to consult with him in the process of designing a nursery.

Safety first!

The first rule of a children's room is safety. This applies to everything: furniture, objects, sockets for electrical appliances. Place such furniture in the nursery so that the child, especially the small one, does not injure himself on sharp corners. Most manufacturers of children's furniture by default produce it with rounded corners, but if you order furniture, pay attention to the manufacturer. Cabinets and chests of drawers more than a meter high are recommended to be additionally fixed with fasteners to the wall so that a child, especially a small one, does not accidentally knock it over myself. Do not use cabinets and shelves with glass doors, you can understand why: a child can easily break the glass and cut himself.
Sockets in the nursery must be equipped with special plugs so that Small child I couldn't put anything in them and get hurt. Try to hide all the hanging wires - delis are curious - they can pull the wire and drop a lamp or sconce on themselves. When planning a children's room, be sure to consult with professionals, and in all areas - with electricians, furniture makers, psychologists and designers. Consider all the features of the child's character, his tastes, preferences. And remember that childhood only happens once and should be unforgettable. Only then the children's room will be the perfect space for a small family member.

All parents want to make the best nursery in the world for their child. What should it be and what items are superfluous in it? Let's think!

1. Computer, TV and other electrical appliances. These items clearly do not fit into the interior of the children's room. Since viewing programs and time spent at the computer should be strictly regulated and controlled by parents. A children's room should be one where it is warm and cozy not because of the TV, but because of the atmosphere and toys that it has.
2. Dust collectors. These are carpets, and soft toys, and a lot of pillows, especially feather ones. They are the best accumulators of dust, and with it - various microbes. In general, it is better to get rid of these things and not keep them not only in the nursery, but also in the house. Because they can cause allergies and cough.
3. Mirrors, glass objects, glass doors, etc. It's all very easy to touch and break during the game. And it's very easy to get hurt...
4. Too bright and colorful colors. And also too dark, dull or alone White color. In general, psychologists have already written a lot about choosing colors for the interior, especially children's rooms. Usually psychologists do not advise using a lot of red or bright orange, as they are exciting. And in a room where everything is white, the child will not develop fantasy, and he will be bored. Dark colors are also depressing. It is best to use the colors that surround us in nature.
5. Expensive items that can break or break. A children's room is not a place for expensive commemorative figurines, paintings, vases and other things that can be broken or broken during play. The child usually moves a lot, and it will be unrealistic not to touch these objects. So do not turn the nursery into a museum where you can not touch anything, so as not to hinder the movement of the child.
6. Fairytale and themed rooms. Now it has become popular to decorate a children's room in the style of a fairy or princess house, or in the form of a pirate ship, etc. But psychologists do not advise turning a child's room into a fairy-tale world, since such an interior can depress the baby's imagination and fantasy, drive it into frames. In addition, the child quickly gets bored with monotony. Therefore, give him the freedom to turn the room into what he wants.
7. Sports equipment with ropes, ropes, laces. These are, of course, very good things that a child needs for development. But if you are not at home, and the child is alone, it is better to remove all these ropes away. It is very easy to get confused in them, and if there is no one to call for help, harmless inventory becomes a danger. Therefore, before you put a sports corner, think carefully.
8. Balcony, low windows. If you have the opportunity to arrange a nursery in a room where there is no balcony, do so. In addition to the danger of falling out, there is also a great temptation to throw something off the balcony and have fun. And it is much easier to do this from the balcony than from the window. Besides, why do you need extra drafts and extra space in the children's room where, hypothetically, rubbish can be stored?

The baby needs its own space even in a small apartment. At the same time, children's furniture must be chosen so that it is most convenient to organize the life of the baby and his parents and not buy anything extra.

Sleeping area

The child needs his own place to sleep. It can be a small cradle on wheels, which parents can roll and swing, putting the baby to sleep; a full-fledged bed with a traditional "fence", a transforming bed designed for several years, or a playpen bed.
If parents intend to practice co-sleeping with a child, they need to take care of the convenience and safety of this event. A large bed is not suitable for a baby, and even there, next to his parents, he will need his own sleeping place - a special “basket” or mini playpen that protects the newborn from injury and the risk of suffocation.

Changing area
It is convenient to change your baby's clothes, massage him and do gymnastics in a specially designated place. For this, many parents buy a changing table with a chest of drawers, where they put diapers, creams, first medicines and other things that mom should have at hand.
However, not everyone considers the purchase of a special table expedient, and instead they purchase a changing board, which is installed on the sides of the crib. In addition to a compact board, you can also purchase a mobile inflatable changing mat, which is convenient to use on trips (or place in the bathroom).

Storage space

At first, the baby will have few things, but after a couple of months they will no longer fit on the shelf that the parents allocated to them in their closet. Therefore, it is better to purchase a storage system, a chest of drawers in advance (even if drawers) or a wardrobe for children's things.
In a chest of drawers or a closet, it will be possible to place not only what the baby is currently wearing, but also to fold what is already not enough for him or still too big, as well as books and toys, the number of which even at first will be impressive.

Place for feeding
Mom should be comfortable feeding the baby. In a few months, she will learn to do this in a variety of positions and places, but first you need to master feeding lying down or sitting on a bed, sofa, couch, in an armchair, on a chair with a back or on an ottoman. When lactation has not yet been established, the feeding process can take some time, so you should make sure that mom has books, a phone, a glass of water or a plate of fruit at hand - they can be placed on a bedside table or a simple stool next to the feeding area .

Place to rest
It is better to buy a deck chair, bouncer or cocoon for daytime sleep, games and relaxation after the birth of the baby. After a couple of weeks, parents will get a little comfortable and understand what kind of character their child has and where it will be more interesting for him to spend time between sleep, feedings and walks.

A children's room is a special and indispensable place for every child, where an amazing atmosphere of peace, creativity and harmony reigns. Here the child feels like a little master, creating within these walls his own personal space, his own small world… How to make a nursery so that the child is safe, comfortable and cozy in it?

Wallpaper

Currently, the so-called wallpaper for painting is very popular: they look beautiful, make life easier for the owner, and most importantly, they are very practical.

If the color is tired, then there are no problems here either - a couple of hours of work, and the room changes beyond recognition. That's just all the advantages of coloring wallpaper are crossed out in an instant, if we are talking about a nursery. In it, they are not only unacceptable, but also dangerous for a growing organism, especially newborns.

For a child's room, choose eco friendly wallpaper. There are no unequivocal recommendations here, since cheap vinyl can be no less harmful than expensive interlining and vice versa. When choosing, you should consult the seller in advance, ask for a certificate or necessary information about the product. Respected building trade networks will definitely help you in this matter. In addition, designers will tell you how best to decorate the walls of the room: using one selected tone, combining two types of wallpaper, dividing the top and bottom of each wall, or giving preference to photo wallpaper on one of the dominant ones - there can be a lot of options here.

Floor

As for flooring, there are contraindications here. Laminate board and linoleum are not suitable for children - such materials are able to emit smogs that are invisible to our eyes harmful substances, which can cause coughing fits, allergies in babies, and generally negatively affect the well-being of the child. Make a choice in favor soft colored carpet or an ordinary carpet. The main thing is that the floor is safe, soft and warm.

Interior

Furniture

Do not clutter up the children's room too much with furniture, because he still needs a place to play. You can choose both comfortable built-in furniture and buy everything you need separately. The only condition is that the furniture should not be angular. Fortunately, at present you can find a bed, a wardrobe, and a table. with rounded edges. By the way, the table is best placed sideways to the window and, if possible, so that the child does not sit with his back to the door. If this option is not possible, then solve the problem using a mirror. Install it so that the child can control the space at least with peripheral vision.

Each child should have his own “creativity corner”, where he will hang his drawings and store crafts.

Lighting

An indispensable accessory for a child's room is ceiling lamp or a chandelier. Transparent, perhaps crystal or glass, it will pass through itself both solar and electric light, surrounding the entire space with bright highlights and thereby increasing energy, raising your baby's mood. If desired, you can create not only the main lighting, but also organize additional lighting.

Creativity zone

Children are constantly learning something: sooner or later the first drawing, craft, postcard, etc. appears. Try not to miss all these undertakings, to see and discern the child's abilities, his desire to create, to do what he loves. Encourage such aspirations by creating a separate creative zone in the room. Hang drawings in the designated corner, put small masterpieces on the shelf, place your favorite pictures in frames.

By the way, the children's room does not have to be large in size. According to psychologists, children feel much more comfortable in a small area. This explains the favorite undertaking of many children to make huts, halabudki, nests, houses ...
