Thinking about how to organize the space for the baby, you need to apply a creative approach. There are many examples of children's room design projects. One of them can be taken as a basis and supplemented in its own way in accordance with the age of the child and his interests. To implement the idea, you can attract specialists or do it yourself.
Layout Features
When choosing a room for the child to stay, an important point is the presence of at least one window. The nursery should have good natural light. A room with windows facing the south or southeast side is best suited. In such a room, sunlight will be present throughout the day.
It is best to design a nursery in a square or rectangular spacious room. Parents often give their child the smallest room, which is a mistake. It is better to place a bedroom in it, because the baby needs much more space. The interior design of the children's room should include:
- rest area;
- place for wardrobe;
- play area;
- a corner for storing toys;
- study area (for school children).
For the interior to be cozy, all these places must be organically combined in the design.
Proper lighting
Lighting in the nursery should be distributed evenly and in sufficient quantities so as not to harm the baby's vision. For large chandeliers with massive and fragile details, it is better to prefer ceiling lights as the main source of artificial light.
A great option for decorating a children's room are evenly spaced spot spots. For different groups of luminaires, it is better to connect separate switches to ensure both full lighting and highlighting of individual zones. It will also not be superfluous to set a power regulator to dim the upper light while falling asleep or using it as a night lamp.
The student needs to additionally illuminate the workplace, for this a desk lamp is ideal. To reduce the brightness of the light and better distribute it over the entire area, you can use a cone-shaped lampshade made of high-quality matte plastic, as it does not heat up and does not melt when turned on for a long time. Glass and metal shades are best not to be used. The former are characterized by increased fragility, and the latter are very hot and can be burned.
The color of the lamp should not be too bright so that the child is not distracted by it. It is optimal to choose a model with a rigid mount to the table and a flexible leg. This will protect the lamp from falling and allow you to illuminate the right place on the table. With the help of a wall sconce, you can “kill two birds with one stone”: softly illuminate the recreation area and complement the interior with an interesting detail.
When choosing lighting for a nursery, first of all, you need to make sure that they are safe. To do this, when buying, you should ask about the build quality, certificates and the warranty provided. It is best to purchase products from trusted companies.
Sockets, wires and lamps in the children's room should be placed in such a way that it is difficult for the child to get to them. If the baby is still very small, you can use special accessories that protect against electricity.
Kids room decoration
When choosing wall and floor finishing materials, you need to consider them not only from the standpoint of beauty and strength, but also environmental friendliness. All items used must be certified and confirmed by appropriate conclusions.
Here are some tips for decorating walls and floors in a kids room:
- Parquet, despite the naturalness and environmental friendliness, is better not to use. He is very moody in leaving and is often made of soft wood, and therefore is subject to deformation. To keep the appearance of the parquet attractive, it will have to be regularly coated with mastic or varnish, which are often made on the basis of harmful chemicals.
- Tile or stone is also not the best option for covering the floor in the nursery. Even if you use the “warm floor” system, it will fill the room with a feeling of cold and make it uncomfortable.
- Optionally cover the floor with laminate. This material is presented on the market in a large assortment: in color, quality and price. You should not buy very cheap brands, extremely harmful formaldehyde can stand out from them. It is better to prefer certified products.
- For wall decoration, wallpapers are perfect. The most budgetary and environmentally friendly ones are paper trellises, but they are extremely impractical: it is unlikely that they can be cleaned with pollution. It is better to spend more time and buy wallpaper on a vinyl or non-woven backing, which also has excellent environmental performance and can be washed.
- When buying glue for wallpaper, you should carefully study the composition so that it does not have solvents or other harmful substances: acetone or phenol. The best option is silicate glue.
- If painting is chosen as the wall decoration, it is better to prefer water-based paint to oil and polymer varieties.
- There are many options for decorating the ceiling in the nursery: from economical whitewashing or painting to curly suspended ceilings with plasterboard decoration and additional highlighting. Only stretch ceilings are not appropriate here. When using low-quality material, phenol can be released, and expensive fabric canvases accumulate dust, which is dangerous for allergic children.
When designing a children's room, the shade of the walls should be selected so that it is combined with pieces of furniture and decor.
But at the same time, you need to consider how certain colors affect children:
- Red - is a very active pathogen color. On the one hand, it contributes to mental activity, but on the other, it distracts attention.
- Yellow - makes the room warm and cozy, stimulating the brain. But its overabundance causes a feeling of fatigue.
- Green - gives the room freshness, has a positive effect on the psyche, calming and relaxing.
- Blue (blue) - visually increases the space, but in some shades it can plunge into gloom.
All parents want to create the best conditions for their child. A huge selection of finishing materials and decor items allows you to realize the most daring ideas. You just need to trust your intuition and study examples of sketches for the design of the nursery prepared by specialists.
