Why make this room like an adult’s bedchamber, when decorating a child’s bedroom is a useful and exciting activity in itself?

Design according to age

Yes, the child’s room will have to be renovated, and even more than once. It's all about the age and changing perception of the world of a growing baby. The design may be influenced by the young person's changing interests and views, color preferences and sense of self.

Let's see what rooms loving parents make for children of different ages.

Color scheme when decorating a children's bedroom

Choosing a color scheme for a children's bedroom

The color scheme is very important in creating the interior of a child’s bedroom, so when choosing wallpaper for a child’s bedroom, you should take into account not only the wishes of the child or children, but also the influence of color on the fragile child’s psyche.

Hue	Description
Red	A large amount of this color in the interior can provoke aggression or cruelty.
Orange	This color gives feelings of happiness and joy.
Yellow	Has a beneficial effect on the development of mental abilities.
Blue	Promotes the development of an assiduous, calm character
Green	Prevents the occurrence of negative emotions, helps normalize sleep and improves mood.
Pink	This shade gives a feeling of warmth, comfort and coziness, and also lifts your spirits.

Advice. However, it is worth noting that excessive use of one color in the design of a room can turn a positive effect on a child’s body into a negative one, so do not overdo it with one color.

In addition, for a children's bedroom, wallpaper should not be saturated or too bright colors, as this can lead to fatigue of the nervous system. And a rich dark palette causes states of oppression.

Style solutions

A clearly defined style is more likely to be found in a teenager's room than in a toddler's bedroom. Why? This can be attributed to the fact that children feel more comfortable among similar interiors, which can be created using:

• toys;
• equipped corner for games;
• the presence of bright prints and accessories from the world of childhood.

But you can be guided by several basic styles, adding or removing some elements from them, simply adhering to general recommendations.

These are the directions:

• Provence;
• classic;
• kitsch;
• sea ​​style.

How should the interior be designed?

The interior of a children's bedroom depends on many factors: the number of children, age, gender and, of course, their tastes and preferences. But it is important for parents to take into account that children grow up and their views and interests change very quickly, so it is necessary to find compromises in creating the interior.

Note. Basically, in our apartments both the children's room and the bedroom are one room, which is intended both for relaxation and for active children's games. The main criterion and difference in design is who the room is intended for (a girl or a boy).

Boy's bedroom design

The design of a children's bedroom for boys is usually decorated in blue and its shades, which are best diluted with warm tones of other colors.

Advice. If the room is spacious enough, you can create a small corner for sports with a horizontal bar, a rope and a Swedish ladder.

You can decorate a boy’s room in the following themes:

• Cars or other vehicles.
• Sport.
• Sea style.
• Dinosaur.
• Favorite movie or cartoon character.
• Journey.
• Space.
• Other topics depending on the child's taste.

It is worth noting that each of the above themes requires the use of accessories and decorative elements.

Children's bedroom for a girl

Children's bedroom design for a girl

A bedroom with a nursery for a girl should be decorated tenderly, romantically, and refined. When choosing furniture for a young princess’s children’s room, you should stop your eyes on a beautiful wardrobe, dressing table and ottoman, since all these pieces of furniture form a sense of style and taste in girls. The design of a children's bedroom for girls is done in pink colors. The main themes in girls’ rooms are considered to be:

• Nature.
• Romantic princess.
• Fairytale fairy.
• Flowers.
• Favorite fairy tale or cartoon characters.
• Animals.

Other topics depending on the child's taste.

Color palette

There is no arguing about tastes, so it is better to immediately decorate the children's bedroom in colors in which the child is obviously comfortable, even if this goes against the tastes of the parents.

Color can help reveal a child’s character; a calm melancholic person is unlikely to feel comfortable among bright red tones, although it will invigorate him. The violent emotions of a choleric person can be calmed with blue and green shades. So psychology plays an important role when choosing a color.

The decoration of the nursery can be in a basic color, and the rest of the interior is either selected in colors that are similar in shade, or, conversely, in contrasting or simply combined colors.

We remember that color is also an expression of a person’s individuality.

It is not recommended to use a lot of dark colors in a child’s bedroom; it depresses the child’s psyche. Acid shades can attract the baby’s attention, but they will not have a beneficial effect on his psycho-emotional behavior and mood.

Light colors like turquoise, rose, and soft blue are calming and relaxing. This can also be used, especially if the baby is very active and exuberant.

It is not necessary to take some bright color for decoration. This can be an accent in the form of textiles, furniture, accessories.

What do you mean by “ideal nursery”?

Don’t rush to answer this difficult question - it’s better to close your eyes and for a minute “plunge” into the “warm” and incomparable childhood memories, when the world seemed so big and amazing, when everything you wish could come true with a wave of magic sticks!

If in moments of memories of childhood you are visited by exactly such thoughts and feelings, it means that you are able to give a real “fairy tale” to your child, and it does not matter who we are talking about - a boy or a girl! The main thing for any child and teenager is your love and care, even if he doesn’t admit it!

To create this very “fairy tale”, consult with your child what he would like his room to look like: in gentle and calm colors or in bright and expressive colors!

In this matter, it is important to remember that if a child can decide in what color and style his room will be made, then it is you, the parents, who are responsible for ensuring that it is functional and serves as several important zones at once, because the children’s room is also the bedroom , and a study, and a place for games, and a gym, and a boudoir, and much more!

A children's bedroom for boys, especially when it comes to the age of “explorer” (from 4 to 8 years), is the eternal “spirit of wandering, hiking and pirate adventures”!

Often for boys of this age they choose nautical, pirate themes, as well as the themes “Space”, “Cars” and “Sports”.

By the way, it should be noted that to create such a fun and comfortable nursery, you don’t have to spend money on expensive exclusive furniture!

You just need to look at the catalog of the leading retail chain of furniture stores “Heggi”!

In our assortment you will find many interesting solutions for furnishing the room of the “little prince”!

Pay special attention to the “Indigo”, “Kiwi” and “Valeria” cabinet furniture sets in neutral colors.

If, after arranging the furniture modules, you want to give the room individuality, then “play with accents” - place ships with masts and cannons, sets of soldiers in a children’s model, use “marine” wallpaper on the walls and paintings, as well as photo frames in the “spirit of H. Columbus” “- and your son will simply be in “seventh heaven” with happiness!

A nursery for a little girl is always tenderness and a little mystery! Little princesses love dolls, hearts, flowers and butterflies.

It is these creatures that can be used as the basis for ideas for your daughter’s interior!

Fluttering paradise butterflies and exotic flowers on the walls around the entire perimeter of the room is, perhaps, too much, but a small bright section of the wall above the baby’s bed is a great idea!

To organize a comfortable space for a girl, you can use furniture from the Alphabet, Aurora, Fruttis and Valeria series.

In a word, the main thing when it comes to decorating your child’s room is the absence of any boundaries! Come to Heggi furniture showrooms and create a real dream for your child!

Finishing walls, floors, ceilings

Renovating a nursery is often a pleasure—it’s gratifying to see how a fairy tale is gradually unfolding around you. What should you consider when choosing finishing materials? The answer is simple: taking care of the baby’s health.

If plastic is selected, it must comply with all quality certificates. The same applies when purchasing any other material: it would be a good idea to look at the quality certificate and carefully study the characteristics of the material.

There must be a safe covering on the floor: only a desperate parent would install porcelain tiles in a child’s bedroom. It’s scary to imagine what could happen if a child falls from the bed with his head on such a strong covering.

Suitable for floor:

• laminate;
• linoleum;
• natural wood floors.

Walls can be covered with:

• paint;
• wallpaper;
• plaster;
• wooden panels.

Stucco molding in a nursery is inappropriate, if only because the child will be happy to try to pick it apart and take part in the repair. Wallpaper can easily suffer the same fate if you don’t keep an eye on the little tomboy.

Furniture in the nursery

Obviously, furniture should also be natural and environmentally safe for health. How to furnish a children's bedroom?

The bed is equipped with an orthopedic mattress. It must be a stable structure that can withstand children's jumping.

Modern loft beds are very comfortable: there is a place for sleeping, storage, and a table. The models are beautiful and original.

The sofa is installed in spacious rooms. The upholstery of such furniture should be durable, dense, and easy to clean.

A table is needed both for creativity and for study, so they choose models that grow with the baby, or designs that are age-appropriate.

The closet and storage system should not interfere with active games, but at the same time provide space for toys and clothes.

Storage ideas for children's rooms

The problem of organizing space in a child’s bedroom faces parents every day. At any age, children always have a lot of things, and to avoid clutter, during renovations, think about where and how to conveniently store it all.

Use all the wall space. Hang a basket above your bed for small stuffed animals, pajamas or books. Use hooks to store sports equipment, jewelry, and handbags. Use free corners with open and closed shelves for educational supplies, photo frames, books and souvenirs.

Don't forget that the room should "grow" with the child - ensure the flexibility of the space. For example, shelving on wheels will help with this. In addition, they are easier to clean up. Create a storage box under your bed. There can be anything there: from bed linen to construction sets and collections.

Textile

An abundance of textiles is a potential dust collector. Therefore, excess fabric is removed to other rooms. Many pads look very cute, but then you may wonder where allergies come from.

Main varieties

A children's room is unthinkable without appropriate furniture, which should be selected taking into account individual preferences and the characteristics of the room. Despite the variability of design, all childhood interiors are distinguished by bright colors and unusual shapes. Depending on the interests of the future owner, the theme and color palette may change.

If it is not possible to provide the child with a whole room, you can select a “children’s corner” in the apartment and create a comfortable area for study, sleep and relaxation.

Modular

Apartment layouts or other circumstances do not always allow placing a full-fledged set with free-standing items in the nursery. Modular systems have become a real find, which make it possible to combine several different functional purposes in one item. For example, there may be a wardrobe above the bed, and drawers for linen under it. The advantages of such systems include:

• the opportunity to significantly save space in the room;
• functionality;
• the ability to individually select elements;
• various designs.

The disadvantage is the inability to break the finished system into separate components. The modular children's furniture package includes a wide range of elements that can be combined in color and size. This allows you to select a set to suit the parameters of the room and in accordance with the needs of the child. The main list includes systems for storing clothes (wardrobes of different sizes with rods and drawers), a student desk and a bed for sleeping. If the design allows, and there is a desire, shelves for books, a ladder with additional storage drawers, or a built-in second bed can be added. To choose the optimally suitable system, you need to determine the set of blocks that should be included in the set, then compare the dimensions of the room with the dimensions of the model of interest and decide how well its design fits with the rest of the interior.

Tips for choosing and placing children's furniture in the room of two boys

Hull

Cabinet furniture is called furniture, the basis of which is a rigid structure, or body. It is traditionally made from hard materials. The children's set must correspond to the age and height of the little owner. Most of the options offered by modern manufacturers are equipped with height adjustment mechanisms. This makes it possible to use the furniture for a long period of time, as children grow very quickly.

The main advantage of cabinet furniture over modular furniture is the possibility of rearrangement. This means that if you move or change the interior, the set can be used in a new environment. When other pieces of furniture appear, the design of the nursery will not be affected - it is much easier to rearrange individual elements. The main disadvantage is that the designs take up a lot of space in the room and are not as functional.

Gaming

Childhood is a time of discovery, where everyone wants to try themselves in different roles. Play furniture for children promotes the development of creative thinking and allows them to “try on” different professions in the form of entertainment. It differs from functional items in size as well as colors, adding bright colors and variety to the room. The most common modifications are:

• dressing table with mirror for little fashionistas;
• Swedish wall with horizontal bar for young athletes;
• plastic slide;
• items for playing store with counter and cash register;
• railway or rally;
• Dollhouse.

The most unusual designer children's furniture has the shape of a royal castle, carriage or ship. Sometimes it includes built-in play pieces, such as a backlit tree painted on the wall, complemented by shelves, or hanging ropes with a nautical theme. Considering the popularity of gadgets among children, such furniture is especially useful. It allows you not only to save children's vision, but also helps to move more, communicate with friends and develop imagination.

Not all furniture suits boys and girls equally. Young ladies will love the theme, in which everyone will feel like a princess, for example, a set in the form of a white or pink castle. Little tomboys will be happy to “try on” the role of a pirate in the interior with a set in the form of a ship. If for preschool children and elementary school students the main role is played by the shape of the furniture, then teenagers will more appreciate unusual functions, for example, if the bed rises up, freeing up significant space in the room. The lower element can be decorated with designer facades or drawings.

Soft

One of the simplest ways to fill a room with coziness is to use upholstered furniture. Children's rooms where it is present look especially cute, conducive to relaxation. It will be a nice place to relax after studying, watch TV or read. Most often, for the needs of a child, they purchase:

• sofa;
• armchair;
• poof.

Designers advise not to overload the room with unnecessary elements, so it is advisable to give preference to only one of the above options. The upholstery should be made of dense fabric with a natural composition. The frame is made of wood, chipboard or plywood. High-density polyurethane foam is used as a filler so that the product does not press through and lasts a long time.

When choosing upholstered furniture for a children's room, you should give preference to functional models, such as a transforming chair. At night, the child can use it to sleep, and if guests arrive, turn it into a comfortable place to sit. A good option for a child’s room would also be a double folding sofa with an orthopedic mattress: when folded it leaves enough free space for games, when unfolded it provides a spacious sleeping area. The advantage of such models is their versatility of use. The disadvantage may be the fragility of the structure if it is not made in good faith, so the choice of upholstered furniture for a child should be based on the range of trusted manufacturers.

How to choose furniture for a teenager in a modern style, tips for parents

Thematic

A separate variety are thematic furniture options for a children's room. As a rule, these are modular or cabinet headsets, stylized in a certain way. To emphasize the focus, pictures of popular animation or movie characters are placed on the façade. The most popular topics:

• Disney princesses;
• Marvel Universe;
• floral ornaments;
• automotive theme;
• animal world.

Traditionally, the facades of children's furniture are painted in basic stylistically appropriate colors, and thematic stickers are attached to the surface. If prints are applied, for example, in the form of the little mermaid Ariel, Rapunzel or Elsa from the cartoon “Frozen,” it is better to choose pink or white as the base color. For boys, red and blue children's furniture with a spider-man print is suitable. Car-shaped beds with rubber wheels and glowing headlights are also a popular option.

Lighting

In addition to the main light source pouring from the ceiling, it would be advisable to install sconces on the wall. For younger children, it may not be a good idea to place a lamp near the bed, but for young ladies and gentlemen this would be a good option.

Decor and accessories

Decorating a child's bedroom is a pleasure. These are night lights, paintings, posters, collectible toys, and a sports corner.

Rugs, as an item of comfort, become an excellent decorative element. But it is better to avoid short rugs in a small room if the baby is small: when running, he can catch the edge with his foot and fall.

Older children should allocate a place on the wall for creativity. This could be a slate board, a place for a collage of drawings or photographs.

There are many design ideas, but safety should come first. All accessories should be useful, because the child will still try to find a use for them.

Design of a small children's bedroom: features

A small children's bedroom is not at all a problem for the successful placement of all the necessary zones in it, which can be correctly crossed or combined. Proper zoning can turn a small room into a functional refuge for a little person.

The basic rule: the design of a small children's bedroom should be done in light colors to visually enlarge the space.

It is better to decorate a small bedroom in light colors, because this will help visually expand the space of the room

If two children live in a room, then an excellent solution to saving space would be to use a bunk bed. It is better to place an older child on the upper tier, but if the children are about the same age, then it is better to leave this issue to the decision of the little owners. A loft bed is a great space saver, under which you can place a table or cabinet from a quality manufacturer, for example, you can look through the Ikea catalog.

You cannot use a loft bed or place a child on the second floor of a bunk bed if:

• The child is afraid of heights;
• The structure is fragile;
• The child is too small;
• There is no safe way to go up or down.

If the child sleeps on the sofa, then it is better to choose a transforming sofa so that you can fold it during the day and thereby create seating for guests or family members. There are beds that can be raised during the day and hidden, for example, in a closet, this creates additional space for games or sports.

Game Zone

The play area is located in the far corner from the bed. This could be a sports corner, a small tent house with toys.

Convenient racks or drawers for toys allow you to access them and also put everything away easily.

Work zone

Older children need a place to study and have hobbies. Most often this is a table with a chair, as well as a storage system.

Such a zone is located under the window or in close proximity to it, and natural light should fall from the left if the baby is right-handed, and from the right if he is left-handed.

Children's bedroom on the balcony: important options

A balcony can be an interesting place to place a children's bedroom in a one-room apartment. At night you can look at the stars through the large window, and during the day you can study in natural light. But making such a bedroom is a responsible undertaking.

The main issues when implementing a children's bedroom on the balcony are insulation and safety, so that the child cannot catch a cold or easily open a large window.

If you have a small apartment, then you can arrange a child’s bedroom on the balcony

If the child is small, then it is better not to place him on the balcony so that he cannot open the window, because the baby will not be at all aware of the level of his danger. The balcony is usually not suitable for permanent residence and in winter it is quite cold, so it is necessary to cover the walls with insulation to prevent cold air and wind from entering.

It makes sense to place a child on a loggia if:

• He loves to watch the world around him;
• The light in other rooms is not enough for comfortable study;
• The balcony has sufficient area;
• The balcony can be connected to the main children's room to increase its space.

But, first of all, you can only organize a children's bedroom on the balcony if the child himself wants it.

Bedroom for a girl

Girls react more to design, so they are attracted to textiles and decor. This shapes the taste of a young beauty from childhood. Practicality is not discounted; there shouldn’t be too much in a girl’s room either.

A girl's bedroom can be very delicate, but also spectacularly luscious. Girls' tastes also differ.

In a girl's room, color plays a key role. The most favorite colors are light pink, blue, mint, and cream.

How to successfully choose textiles for a children's bedroom

Textiles in a children's bedroom should correctly complement the already chosen idea for the interior.

Interesting textile elements in the room can be:

• Curtains;
• Cover;
• Carpet;
• Covers for chairs or sofas;
• Stylish screens separating zones.

It is better to select all textile elements for a child’s bedroom in the same color so that they harmonize beautifully with each other.

Textile decorative elements should be functional and safe, but they can also successfully complement a child’s interior. Their color can echo the color scheme of other interior compositions or be radically different, creating a stylish accent on furniture elements.

The curtains can be anything, but the tulle in front of the window must transmit light well so that the child does not spoil his vision when doing homework in a dark room.

All beautiful fabric elements in the room should be made from natural materials, be well breathable and washable. We must not forget to wash textiles from the children's room in a timely manner; white fabric is especially noticeable.

Children's room for a boy

Boys are often more active than girls, but they have less need for decorative items.

The boy’s room is thoughtfully zoned, leaving more space for active pastime. Furniture can be easier to clean, for example, a folding table and chair.

Bedroom for children of different sexes

With the interior design of a bedroom for children of different sexes, the situation is more complicated, because it is important not to infringe on the interests of each child. This should be the most thoughtful option.

The sleeping place can be located in different ways, but separation is required for a girl and a boy. The solution is a two-story bed or complete separation from each other by a screen.

Nuances of children's interior design

No one can rule out mistakes either. Sometimes it may seem that some solution will be the best, but as a result of the repair everything turns out to be different. What recommendations can designers give for children's interiors?

The stumbling block is often the choice of children's bedroom furniture. Don’t be lazy looking for the most suitable option in catalogs from different manufacturers. They often offer a complete set in the form of a set for a child's bedroom. In this case, you only need to arrange the furniture according to zoning.

If it is possible to choose furniture with streamlined corners, this will protect the health of a small child.

It’s better to think over a storage system: old bulky cabinets are a thing of the past. It is useful to use the area under the bed or install a shelving unit as a zone divider.

Key rules for arranging a children's bedroom

It is better to arrange the interior of a children's room in accordance with the preferences of its owner. Give your child the opportunity to choose his own rug or wallpaper with his favorite cartoon or fairy-tale characters. He

you will feel proud of your own decision, although, perhaps, the chosen one will not be very compatible with the appearance of the rest of the elements of the bedroom. You should also not limit children's imagination to any boundaries or stereotypes. Perhaps a boy will unexpectedly choose a pink pillow, and a girl will like a floor rug with cars. In this case, it is better to accept the child’s decision and not be particularly bothered by thinking about why it is this way.

A children's bedroom is an area not only for fun games, but also for learning. You should separate space for different activities and properly zone the room. The table, for example, can be placed in such a way that the toys are out of the child’s field of vision (preferably behind the child’s back) and do not distract him. When arranging a workplace, it is important to follow hygiene and health recommendations: the lighting above the table should be sufficiently intense, and the design of the child chair should be orthopedically correct in order to maintain proper posture.

Children won't be able to fully participate in bedroom design, but adults can listen to their wishes and create a truly magical space. It is important to remember that a child needs not just four walls, but a place where it is comfortable to create, relax and have the opportunity to retire. How to arrange a bedroom?

One of the most important elements of a room is the walls. In the children's room, it is on their surface that the child realizes his artistic talents. It is better if light colors are used for decoration, no more than two types, and the colors can be entrusted to the baby to choose. Using paint in this case will be cheaper than wallpaper. As an experiment, you can suggest painting one of the walls black, creating an imitation of a school board. Here children can indulge in various activities - writing, drawing, erasing everything and starting again with the same ease as they do at school.

A children's room should not be boring, so it is better to decorate the walls in different ways. You can hang posters on them on the theme of your children’s favorite films or special stickers depicting various fairy-tale characters. Such accents will brighten the room, add personality and help coordinate the colors in the interior. Bright details can include textiles (decorative pillows, blankets), fittings, for example, cabinet handles in the color of the walls or bed frame. In many cases, to give the bedroom a fresh look, it is not necessary to make a new renovation and buy something from the furnishings - it is enough to paint or replace individual elements, including furniture.
