Colorful or pastel? Sophisticated, or maybe stylistically universal? For a while, is he supposed to grow up with the child? In practice, the list of questions that you ask yourself when planning the arrangement of space dedicated to younger household members can be much longer. Together with Jagoda from Lovingit.pl, we suggest what is important when designing a children’s room to meet the dreams and expectations of a preschooler or a small student.
Listen to your child’s voice
Although the selection of practical and functional solutions in the children’s room is the responsibility of adults, when trying to arrange it, be sure to take into account the needs and tastes of the youngest member of the household. Talk about hisinterests and tastes. Ask about colors, themes, accessories, show someinspirations. Give a choice, because he certainly has his own ideas that as an adult, you would never have come up with. However, conduct the conversation in such a way that you can work out a compromise. It can be turbulent at times, but remember that this is your child’s kingdom and it will also spend the most time in it.
Suitable zones
The arrangement possibilities of the interior for a child depend on two factors: the size of the room and whether one, two or three tenants will live in it. Jagoda was tasked with designing a 15-meter space for one child. It has separateda play and rest zone anda zone for learning or creative spending time. In the first one there is a lot of free space for building a tent from blankets and chairs, a dollhouse or practicing dance routines. The second one has been arranged in such a way that you can freely do your homework, paint, draw and do various other creative things that require access toa desk.
In order to clearly distinguish both parts, Jagoda used a simple trick – she used carpets for this purpose. The one with an oval shape perfectly emphasizes the relaxing character of the room and additionally optically enlarges the space. Rectangular, on the other hand, is best placed in the corner of the room, e.g. by the bed, because its straight line clearly determines, organizes and emphasizes the functions it is supposed to perform.
How to choose and arrange furniture in the children’s room?
Think ahead, because furniture is essential. Children’s tastes change with age. Time flies quickly, so it is worth taking care that without giving yourself a general renovation, with a small amount of work, you can turn the interior of the preschooler’s room into an elderly person’s room. Choosefurniture with a simple form and neutral colors, because they will bring into the space an order that, as we know, in the children’s room is difficult to maintain. In addition, through their classic appearance, they will allow you to “grow furniture” with your child and will always go hand in hand with current interior design trends.
Jagoda chose furniture from the Amazon collection in white color with the addition of oak décor. This combination makes the interior take on a warm, delicate character. Amazon, due to its versatility, will work in both a room for a girl and a boy. In addition, it has one more undoubted advantage – the colors of furniture handles are available in four different colorsto choose from: orange, lime, lilac, opalino. And this makes it easy to adapt them to the interior design and its inhabitant.
As much storage space as possible
This is one of the key points of the program. How to accommodate all the clothes and all the belongings accumulated by your toddler, while remembering about his comfort and safety? Find a place for a roomywardrobe. The berry chose the corner version because itfits any corner. She supplemented it with an additional underwear, which gave her additional storage space and a bookcase with shelves, on which there is plenty of space for books or boxes with children’s essentials. All three solids form a stylish whole, without taking up too much space.
An unusual and clever solution is achest of drawers with a wardrobe function, which could not be missing in the interior designed by Jagoda. It will certainly be appreciated by children who like to choose clothes on their own. A characteristic feature of this piece of furniture are sliding doors, easy to use even for the youngest, which will certainly make them fun. All hangers have an arm’s length. The chest of drawersis equipped with four shelves and one characteristic box, and on its countertop we can beautifully display children’s toys.
Restful sleep
A well-rested child – priceless. Therefore, the corner where the place to relax is located should be cozy and secluded, and the bed comfortable and functional, although it can also be an additional decoration of the room. This amazon collection has an extremely practical function of an additional, retractable place to sleep – the perfect solution when your toddler is expecting a guest who will stay with you for the night.
Learning and creative fun
Desk – an essential piece of equipment so that the child can comfortably and calmly do their homework, draw, paint or make figurines from plasticine. It is important that it is tailored to age, height and its needs. Jagoda chose a simple, minimalist desk with a mobile container for storing notebooks or blocks, which will easily fit under the countertop, and at the same time can wander around the room with the child. What is important – without drawing the floor.
Colorful and natural
It is known that the room of the youngest member of the family must be functional, but also nice and joyful. When deciding on the color of the walls, reach for subduedpastels so that they do not distract the child and allow him to calm down. In addition, mild colors give greater arrangement possibilities – even if they contrast. Just like in Jagoda, who combined beautiful pastel pink with green. With white furniture in the background, they look beautiful.
Children’s charm and coziness of the interior will beadded by blankets made of natural fabrics, soft pillows, wicker accessories or woven carpets. These decorative elements should not be missing. And not because of the current trends, but because of their calming and calming nature. And as you know, every child likes to go crazy. This room should therefore allow both entertainment and rest after various activities in and out of the home.
Do not forget about the leitmotif, e.g. a large sticker with your favorite hero or toddler’s pet. It will give the interior style and a unique atmosphere, and if it quickly gets bored, you can always replace it with another one without destroying the wall. 😉
