Repairs matching your interests
The initial and very important stage of interior decoration is renovation. In this case, special attention should be paid to wallpaper. For a student's room, they should be calm, without exuberant colors, suitable for him in tonality.
The decoration materials for the room should be natural and safe, but not too expensive. Remember that the child is growing and his creative impulses can be reflected in the environment.

Furnishing ideas for two children
For peers
The main attention should be paid to the sleeping area when a bunk bed is an excellent way out. It saves space well, and it will be very interesting for two boys to be and play on it. An additional plus is the ability to organize a small secluded corner on the second tier. The only drawback is that this option can only be suitable for babies at an early age.
Another good option for dividing the space for boys of the same age would be the arrangement of sofas in different parts of the room. This will allow everyone to have their own personal space. A sliding partition can also be a good solution, which will allow each of the guys to retire and do their own thing. It can be easily removed if children want to play together.
There are the main points that must be observed when decorating a room for two boys:
- Color spectrum should not be aggressivebut may be bright.
- The materials used in decoration must be natural, safe and environmentally friendly.
- Your furniture should be for every age, ergonomic and non-traumatic.
- Must be present lighting, both day and night.
For guys of different ages
You should not make the interior thematic, it would be more expedient to use a single style - English or classic, for example. So it will be universal, suitable for both boys and will appeal to them regardless of age.
When choosing a bed for boys of different ages, you can pay attention to sliding models or give preference to beds of almost adult size. But it is better to make a place for sleeping and studying for two children separately.
As for the place to stay, on the contrary, it is better to make it common. The creation of such a zone contributes to the fact that boys will be able to communicate more and spend time together, invite guests and relax. To decorate the interior of the recreation area, a sports complex for joint activities, a cozy sofa or ottomans, a small home library or a TV with a game console are suitable.
An important point in the decor of the play area is the carpet, it serves not only for comfort and convenience, but also allows you to delimit the space, separating the common area from the rest.
Interior for three
Due to the fact that boys of completely different ages live together in the room, you should not adhere to any specific thematic style. It is better to choose neutral colors for the interior - blue, beige, khaki or light blue. Accents can be made with bright splashes of color. If the room is small, then it is better to make all the furniture in light colors, which will visually help expand the space.
An important nuance of the interior is to adhere to a single concept in the choice of furnishings - beds, bedside tables, bed linen. It is not necessary that everything is the same, it is enough to have some common element.
As in the design of a children's room for one child, you should remember about the zoning of the space: it is necessary to equip the sleeping, study and general (play) area. One of the most important aspects of furnishing a sleeping area is the choice of beds.
Ideally, each boy should have his own bed, but if the room does not allow this, you can arrange sofas or couches.
When arranging the study area, there are several tricks that will help you use the space in the nursery with greater benefit:
- corner tables or a converted window sill help save space;
- over three boys' beds can be arranged shelves for storing their personal belongingsso as not to install bulky cabinets and cabinets;
- closet for storing clothes you can only buy one for three boys.
Do not get too carried away with decorating the interior; it will be enough to place a plant in a pot in the room, several posters or posters, a globe or a map.
How to adapt to the size and layout of the room?
When decorating a space for a small-sized nursery, it is necessary to mark out a fairly large number of things, toys and books. Multifunctional furniture comes to the aid of parents in this: a bed with storage boxes, book shelves with a built-in storage system or poufs with the ability to store toys inside.
With a footage of 10-11 sq. m a good option can be folding or built-in tables, as well as "shallow" wardrobes. If the room is slightly larger, then you can safely apply space zoning, highlighting the study and play areas. A bed, which is located on a certain elevation, will help to save space, the podium under it will be a wonderful place to store things.
Original bed linen
When choosing bed linen, you should pay attention to the material from which it is made. Cotton and satin are great. As for the pattern of bed linen, then you need to remember that it should be in harmony with the interior of the room as a whole. When the boy grows up a little, you can easily find linen for him for a 1.5 bed without prejudice to the interior.
Bed linen can be chosen according to the boy's hobby. If he likes comics, a blanket with a print of his favorite character will be a great addition to the decor. But do not overdo it with color and shape - if a child constantly ripples in front of his eyes, this will not benefit his well-being.
