A children's room is a cozy nest for a child. Therefore, it should be not only a place to relax, but also a play and work area. It should have a place for receiving small guests and games. And most importantly, this place must be safe in all respects.
Decorating a nursery is an interesting process in which not only parents should be involved, but also the children themselves. Their opinion is decisive in interior design, of course, if their age suggests their own opinion.
Design options for different areas
Both the decoration and the arrangement of furniture depend on the size of the room. After all, if space is limited, then you will have to choose compact furniture and a minimum of accessories.
Even in a small room of 8 sq. m. you can create a cozy corner that will meet all the needs of the child. The main thing is to prioritize, and only then deal with the arrangement of furniture. For such an area, it is important to visually raise the ceilings and expand the walls.
To make the room appear larger, you need to use only light colors, such as white, beige and milky colors. It is good if there will be a large mirror hanging on the wall or the wall panels will be with a mirrored reflection.
As for furniture, it is better to choose a sofa or a transforming chair. When folded, they take up little space, which is a huge plus. Furniture stores sell baby chairs of any shape and design to please the little customer.
If we talk about the design option for a bedroom for children with an area of 12-15 squares, then there are more options. In such a room, it is easier to arrange pieces of furniture and you will not have to save on them. It can easily fit a child's bed, a desk, a wardrobe and a chest with toys.
In interior design, you can use unusual color combinations in textiles and upholstery. For a girl, the ideal solution would be the presence of floral patterns and lace, and for a boy, geometric shapes and clarity of lines are preferable. Of course, it all depends on the age and the number of children living in the room.
Features of the layout
The area of the room does not always allow you to make the design you like in it. For example, in "Khrushchev" usually narrow rooms, and their size is not intended for scope. Therefore, residents have to go to some tricks that can improve the quality of the space.
One of the best layouts in a kid's room is to set up a podium. You can install a bed or a sofa on it, and make storage boxes in a niche. This saves a lot of space, so a podium room is a pragmatic way to plan a room.
Another interesting option is combining a room with a balcony. This is especially useful for a small nursery, in which, apart from the necessary pieces of furniture, nothing else will fit.
An insulated balcony can become a play area, gym or study area. The main thing is that the glazed balcony is well heated and illuminated.
If the renovation of the nursery is started in a wooden house, then it is important not to lose the individuality of the home. It is better not to repaint or cover wooden walls with wallpaper, but rather just walk with furniture varnish. You can decorate the walls with paintings or photographs that will add comfort to the room.
All interior items should be made of natural materials so as not to get out of the general style. The bed is placed near the window so that the sun's rays help wake up in the morning.
To make the interior bright, you can use baby bedding with cartoon characters or colorful bedspreads and pillowcases.
Interior for children: subtleties
In the interior of a children's room, the interests of children are primarily taken into account. Adult children will express their dreams and fantasies about how they see their personal space. And for kids, parents themselves will choose the style and arrangement of furniture.
The most important aspect of a children's room is a unique and vibrant design that will not make you bored. In such a room it will be interesting to play, relax and bring friends. Therefore, the room should be furnished with objects that emphasize the individuality of the child. For example, a collection of cars or airplanes.
You can also emphasize the style with the help of various decorations. It can be funny stickers, lamps of unusual shapes, panels, wallpaper and a stretch ceiling with a three-dimensional pattern. In such an environment, any child will feel like a full-fledged owner of his own place.
The walls in the nursery can be decorated with a painting or drawing on the entire wall. By painting the walls with their own hands, parents will not only create an unusual and unique design, but also put their soul into it. This process is especially interesting with the participation of the smallest owner of the room. The handprints of all family members are original wall decorations.
The colors in the nursery can be absolutely any, because children love brightness. For girls, the room can be pink or lilac. A rainbow in the design will look very unusual: bed linen, curtains or a pattern on the wallpaper. For boys, Turkish flora or sea waves are suitable in combination with light green chairs - pears.
As for the style, there are no specific recommendations. It all depends on the general style of the apartment or house, the opinions of parents and children, as well as financial capabilities.
Classic style is preferable for a children's room.… It assumes an abundance of light colors and natural materials. This option is safe for the child's health and does not affect his psyche. A bedroom in a classic style with bright accents is ideal for a child.
Another interesting option is Provence. He is known for his love of light pastel colors and light aged furniture. It intertwines floral motifs with porcelain or ceramics.
As for the furniture, it should be not only colorful, but also practical to use. Now in furniture stores there are new items of children's headsets, which have a fairly simple assembly. Parents can choose furniture sets of any color and material.
Projects by age

Feng Shui decoration
It is possible to comfortably equip the children's area according to all the rules of Feng Shui, which has long become popular in our country. Following his recommendations, you can create a harmonious and cozy nest in which each element will have its own meaning.
In Feng Shui, you cannot put a bunk bed in the room, because the one who sleeps on top is in a suspended energy state. And this negatively affects his health. You cannot buy both a hanging bed and a sofa on wheels. The bed should only be a place to relax, and on for games.
There should not be any bulky objects above the bed, and she herself should stand farther from the window. It is believed that voluminous objects put pressure on the sleeping person with their energy, and a closely located window will not allow quality rest. If there is nowhere to move the berth, then blackout curtains or blinds need to be hung on the window.
A very bad sign is the location of the bed opposite the door. Worse still, decorations made from stuffed animals. Better to replace them with landscape paintings.
To prevent the child from getting sick, Feng Shui recommends removing all mirrors and blue tones from the room.
