Category Children’s room tips

Creating an ideal children’s room can be a daunting task, but with a little bit of effort, you can create an environment that will work perfectly for your little ones. There are a variety of different types of toys and games that can be enjoyed in a children’s room, and it’s important to find the right one for your child.

How to properly zoned nursery

A child’s room is a place to sleep, play, study and store things. For the room to be functional, you need to divide the space into three parts: a sleeping place, a play area and a study area. For preschoolers, the play area is a priority, and for older children – the study area.

The workplace should be set up near a window with lots of natural light. The sleeping area, if possible, should be moved away from the door so that the child feels safe. For games it is better to have a place in the center of the room on a soft carpet, giving access to daylight.

Play area

The play area should be safe and interesting. Do not clutter up this space with bulky toys, it’s better to make it free and give your child room to create. In the play area you can place a wall buffer and a table for playing with sand and water, cover the wall with slate paint. The more abstract the entertainment, the better the child’s imagination works and the more opportunities to play.

Slate coating will allow the child not only to draw on the walls, but also to use them for learning – to solve problems, to memorize rules. You can combine such a coating with a magnetic: you can also attach magnets with notes on such a wall.

The slate paint can cover not only the wall, but also the cabinet doors and the table top. Such a paint is also white – you can draw on it with markers.

If space allows, organize a room for reading: at eye level hang shelves, display cases, and put children’s books face first. Colorful pictures will interest your child, and he’ll want to look at them. Place soft cushions on the floor, and you have a place to snuggle with a book in his hands.

Study area

To make it comfortable for your child to study, it is important to choose an ergonomic table, chair and lighting. It is best to choose furniture so that it grows with the child: the bed gets bigger and the table and chair get higher. The light should be bright and without harsh shadows – so your eyes will be less tired. To help the schoolchild, you can hang a geographical map, tables on subjects and reminder posters that will help to collect the bag and do homework.

Arranging a place for classes, it is important to take into account the individual characteristics of the child: how attentive and diligent he is, whether he quickly grasps information, whether he needs reminders and visual examples. For example, if a child is not very assiduous, it is not advisable to make the study area in front of a window: he will often be distracted. For the same reason, all the posters-helpers should be placed a little away from the workplace.

Sleeping area

A properly organized sleeping place can improve a child’s sleep. This requires a good mattress, pillow, bedding and proper lighting.

• The bed should be about the size of your child (their feet must not rest against the headboard).
• Choose pastel-colored bed linen made of sateen, chintz or calico. It should be soft, without bright patterns. Fancy linen can distract from sleep, and bright colors – excite the nervous system.
• Try to make the bed comfortable so that your child likes to be there.

For a child to sleep well, 1,5-2 hours before going to bed, turn down the light in the apartment and close the windows with thick curtains. The hormone melatonin, which is responsible for sleep, is produced only in the dark, so at bedtime it is better to refuse any light, including a night light. Its light reduces melatonin levels, which is why children often wake up at night and feel tired in the morning. It is possible to use a red light bulb. Such lighting does not suppress melatonin production.

How to choose the right colors

Color affects a child’s emotional state. Some shades evoke sadness and depression, others – joy and excitement. It is therefore important to choose the right color scheme for the children’s room. The main rule is not to overpopulate the room with one color and not to make it too bright. It’s better if the room will be in calm pastel colors with bright accents on the walls or decorative items.

Choosing color accents, be guided by the child’s psycho-emotional features (active and excitable, quiet and shy). It is important to choose colors so that they do not interfere with classes, games and sleep.

Here’s how some colors affect children’s emotional states:

• Red increases heart rate and breathing and physical activity. If there is a lot of red, it can cause aggression and anxiety. However, small red accents can improve concentration and help a shy child feel more confident.
• Yellow is associated with sunlight and evokes joyful emotions. If there is a lot of yellow, it is hard for a child to calm down and fall asleep.
• Blue is soothing. It is good for excitable children and reduces physical activity. But if you overdo it, it will have an overwhelming and depressing effect.
• Brown has a calming effect because it is associated with nature. Children who are characterized by anxiety will feel good in a room decorated in these colors. However, brown must be combined with beige and other pastel shades, otherwise it will constrain and suppress the child.
• Green is considered to be a good choice for a child’s room, because it’s a color of nature and freshness (especially if gentle green shades are used). It enhances reading ability and imagination, increases creativity.
• Pink evokes excitement and other positive emotions. In addition, it develops empathy and a sense of caring, so a room with pastel pink shades is an option in which there is nothing wrong.

Ask your child’s opinion, but offer options to choose from. For example, ask, “Do you like this blue or this green better?”

How to create a comfortable environment

Choosing furniture

Children explore the world around them and test the strength of their surroundings: rocking on chairs, jumping on beds, and taking apart the contents of closets. This is part of growing up, it is not worth fighting over such pranks. Another thing is that the furniture should withstand children’s experiences.

An older child, of course, will want privacy. To do this, you can allocate space with light shelving, which will let the light in, but visually fence off the room.

The furniture should be practical and functional, but not bulky – it can overwhelm the child. Give preference to furniture in neutral shades. Bright cabinets, bed and table will quickly bore a child, and buying new ones will be expensive. It’s better to make colored accents on decorative items: posters, lamps, pillows and a bedside rug.

Organize storage

Children can be accustomed to order through the proper arrangement of the storage system. For your child to be able to put away toys and other things on their own, place them in small containers at eye level. Containers should be easy for children’s hands and easy to pull out. Label each one with a photo label that shows where everything is. However, the containers themselves will not teach anything – adults should set the example.

Refuse from the TV

Psychologists and pediatricians advise against television in the nursery: it worsens sleep, reduces performance at school, and provokes depression and obesity.

A child under 1.5 years old should not be given a tablet or shown cartoons on TV – quickly changing bright pictures overexcite a baby’s nervous system, adversely affect its development and may affect sleep.

You can accustom your child to gadgets from the age of 2 years, limiting the amount of time you spend with the screen. For children aged 2-5 years – one hour a day, for children 6-12 years – 2 hours a day.

Color affects a child’s emotional state. Some shades evoke sadness and depression, others – joy and excitement. It is therefore important to choose the right color scheme for the children’s room. The main rule is not to overpopulate the room with a single color and not to make it too bright. It’s better if the room will be in calm pastel colors with bright accents on the walls or decorative items.

The message of paintings in the children’s room

Today’s children often do not see art, do not attend exhibitions and do not join the artistic environment. And this is a great omission, because children’s worldview differs from that of adults and can not just understand the picture (albeit in their own way), but also come up with a story for it. Paintings in the children’s room of a boy or a girl are necessarily chosen together, which will create the mood and show the importance of the acquisition of the object of art.

Advantages of paintings for the nursery:

• favorable formation of the child’s psyche;
• creating a special spiritual atmosphere of the room;
• the emergence of sincere feelings when looking at the work.

It is important and the right lighting. In a dark corner the picture will simply be lost, but also direct sunlight can adversely affect the quality of the colorful layer. Choose a place together with the child, and place the picture at the level of the child’s gaze.

Paintings and posters in the nursery

Paintings and posters in a girl’s room

As a rule, the stylistics of the interior of the room for a girl involves the use of gentle tones, most often white, beige or pink shades. Accordingly, and posters with paintings need to select a suitable color scheme.

If you choose by subject, you can use original illustrations with cartoon characters – princesses, funny little animals, favorite characters. Fairy-tale landscapes are sure to please your little girl. A very young daughter will like paintings with animals, flowers, butterflies.

Choosing a painting in the room of a teenage girl, you can take into account her hobbies or interests. If your child is engaged in dancing, you can use paintings with ballerinas, dancers of different styles, thematic illustrations. If her daughter plays a musical instrument, you can pick up an appropriate themed poster.

Paintings and posters in the room of a boy

As a rule, the interior of the boy’s room is made in darker tones, shades of gray, green, most often blue. But often designers use a more daring color scheme.

Paintings and posters with your favorite cartoon characters and characters from fairy tales and works of fiction would be good for a child’s room. You can use funny illustrations with animals and posters with more masculine themes – ships, cars, planes.

In the interior room of a boy of a more mature age would look great vintage maps, posters with the starry sky, landscapes. Or paintings that reflect the child’s hobbies – music, literature, sports, hobbies.

Ways to place paintings in the interior

In the interior of the children’s room you can use not one picture, but many. They can be of different sizes. This does not play a big role. As a rule, children are very inquisitive, so they will definitely enjoy seeing a lot of different paintings and posters in the interior of their room.

You can use the traditional way of placing pictures – on the wall on nails. A picture may be hung over a child’s bed or in front of it, over a desk or in the play area.

Several small posters and paintings can be combined into one group and form a kind of collage. The wall can be further decorated with other decorative decorations.

A popular way to place paintings and posters in the interior of a child’s room is to use special small shelves, which can be purchased in most stores for interior styling. As a rule, such shelves are not too wide, but on them you can arrange a group of paintings and posters in the same style, interspersing them with other decorative ornaments, whether it is any statuettes, books, various figurines, etc.

Artistic styles

Paintings in the children’s room are selected taking into account the age of the child, his preferences, but also do not forget about the overall style of the room. He should feel the importance of his decision, see how the work harmonizes with the rest of the style of the house or apartment. This will help to develop a sense of harmony and spatial vision.

Depending on the gender and age of the child, you can choose works in any modern style. Abstraction will emphasize art deco, minimalism or loft. Paintings depicting children, flowers, any landscapes can be chosen for classic interiors.

Paintings for a boy’s or girl’s nursery

Painting in the interior of a child’s room should be optimally perceived by the child’s mind and not overload the space, so you should carefully choose the subject.

If you plan to buy a painting in the children’s room of a boy, we advise you to take a closer look at the paintings in the maritime style. For example, with the image of a ship, marine attributes or a quiet seascape

Another worthy option – paintings depicting transport and machinery. Many boys are interested in such directions.

Choosing a painting for a girl’s child’s room, we recommend paying attention to bright landscapes. For example, a canvas depicting an ancient castle or a majestic forest will do. A painting with flowers or a fantasy plot, such as angels, would also be appropriate. It is important to take into account the girl’s hobbies, for example, if she is engaged in dancing, then paintings depicting ballerinas would be good for the nursery

Regardless of gender and age of the child, children’s room can be decorated with paintings in the style of animalistic

This is a neutral theme, which is appropriate even for the room of a newborn baby.

1. Choosing a color scheme of paintings, taking into account children’s perception
3. The development of the concept of the interior of the children’s room should begin with the choice of the color scheme. According to psychologists, color plays an important role in the development of the child’s psyche, attention, and perception of the environment. When decorating a child’s room, it is appropriate to use paintings of neutral or bright colors. Canvases in dark colors can negatively affect a child’s emotional state. And warm colors soothe and create a feeling of comfort.

Choosing the subject of an oil painting

When choosing children’s oil paintings, you need to focus on the age category:

• For babies from birth to 3 years it is better to choose paintings with simple and understandable subjects. For example, paintings depicting animals, nature or children’s toys. The presence of such elements in the interior is part of the developmental and playful process. Babies with pleasure study the objects located around, especially made in a bright color scheme.
• Children aged 4 to 7 years will be interested in oil paintings depicting specific images. For example, fairy tale characters, superheroes, robots. At this age, children develop character, affections and hobbies. It is important to create an atmosphere in the room that will encourage the development of imagination. The environment will largely determine how to form the child’s creative and creative thinking.
• Children 7 years and older usually become interested in travel. Therefore, paintings depicting different cities and interesting landscapes would be a good option for decorating the room.

As the child grows up, the paintings can be changed, as well as other interior items in the nursery.

Decorating oil paintings and their location in the room

It is better to choose paintings for the children’s room in simple frames, not too wide and without complicated patterns.  Can be more saturated compared to the basic tone of the paintings. Also suitable options without registration, that is, canvases on the stretcher.

It is better to place bright paintings on light-colored walls. As for the arrangement of paintings, there are two main options:

• Classic. There should be one big picture on the wall or several small ones, hanged in a single line. You can assign a certain rhythm to canvases, either dynamic or abstract.
• Modern. Paintings can not be mounted on the walls, but put on open shelves, but away from shelves with books and various figures. In this case, it is appropriate to use framed paintings

When choosing the concept of placement, it is important to consider the size of the paintings. For convenience, you can use paper templates – attach them to the wall and see how the paintings will look. Be sure to look from different angles, this will help to better assess the composition.

Remember that painting loves space. Do not hang single paintings near bulky cabinets or over large sofas. Preferably there should be indents on all sides of the painting, as if the wall serves as an additional frame. The center of the picture should be at or just above the child’s eye level, so he doesn’t have to raise his head too much, studying the image.

You shouldn’t place the painting on a southern wall, where a lot of sunlight enters. It is better if the painting is illuminated by an artificial source of light – a floor lamp, a sconce or a spotlight, which you can turn on in the evening. Given these recommendations, you can create the most comfortable interior for your child in the children’s room.

Plot solution

Of course the plot of the picture is selected under the stylistic design of the children’s room. Most often, the paintings depict the animalistic genre. Pictures of animals and their cubs will look great in the room for a newborn baby. Small kittens or cubs bring playfulness into the design and create a warm and gentle atmosphere. The advantage of such images is that they will perfectly fit into the design of the room of both a girl and a boy. Against the background of gentle shades of the walls, the bright color of the decor elements is able to satisfy the desires of any parent.

Choosing the color of the walls for the nursery, I decided to ask the advice of a psychologist and part-time my neighbor. Of course I already knew a lot of information from her, but this only strengthened my confidence and got some new practical tips. That is what I want to share with you:

• The color of the walls in the nursery should not be oppressive. That is, the use of dark colors and shades will be completely unacceptable here. Only a light color brings positive emotions to those around you, and it contributes to the development of the baby
• For a newborn baby and up to 2 years of age, it is better to use a soft and unsaturated color. Usually such colors bring harmony and comfort and can be soothing and relaxing.
• Already after 3-4 years, children start to perceive and choose bright and contrasting colors. Here you can use a rich yellow or red, blue and orange. Making repairs with your own hands, you can involve your child in the choice of wall color in the nursery
• Using two-color solutions for the children’s room can add picturesqueness to the design, as well as dilute the monotony of the design. Using wallpaper, you can choose cloths with inclusions or a small pattern

Choosing a picture

Choosing a picture, it is important to take into account and the age category of the child. So, a preschool boy will certainly like a wall painting with characters from his favorite cartoon or LEGO game. Girls will appreciate the same pictures with Teddy bears, fairies, princesses. In a child’s room you can create the atmosphere of a fairy tale forest with numerous forest inhabitants.

Favourite themes of decoration for young schoolchildren are the jungle and savannah. Such a theme will not require a change in the interior, it is enough to add a few bright themed touches: a blanket, a small rug, a pencil holder.

In second place of popularity is the sea theme. Here the preferences of boys and girls coincide and images of palm trees, sandy shore, ships, the inhabitants of the underwater world are welcome.

More complicated is the case with the choice of paintings in the room of a teenager. Here it is important to listen to the opinions and hobbies of the child. Perhaps for the boy would be relevant to portray a drum kit favorite rock band or soccer attributes.

A teenage girl will appreciate the romantic themes, which will successfully complement any design. Again, the image of a tree will be appropriate, on the branches of which you can place a photo collage.

Stenciling

The easiest way to paint the walls in the nursery is to use stencils. You can buy in any construction supermarket ready-made blanks or make them yourself. To make them yourself is sufficient:

• prepare cardboard or thick PVC film;
• find the desired image on the Internet and print it;
• cut out the picture and tape it to the prepared cardboard or film;
• to trace the outlines of the image and to cut it out with a paper knife.

The finished stencil is then pinned to the wall and, depending on what you have in mind, traced for further coloring or coated with a sponge or sprayer with a single color paint.

When choosing a drawing, it is important to consider the overall interior of the room and the interests of its inhabitant. For example, you can perform ornaments with butterflies at the headboard of a girl’s bed, or nautical or pirate attributes in the room of a boy.

Excellent addition to any child’s interior drawings of plant subjects. It is not very difficult to make a stencil of a tree. Adding a few decorative things on the wall, it can be turned into:

• a blossoming sakura in a girl’s bedroom;
• a family tree in the room of a boy.

Parents understand the important role that books play in the upbringing, development of the child. From an early age, the baby acquires poems, fairy tales. They are replaced by interesting stories, exciting adventure stories, etc. As a result, the child gradually accumulates a solid library. It should provide her with a convenient storage. A collection of books can become a decoration of the children’s room, if you choose the design option intelligently. Find the best way to place printed publications can be in a room with any area. You only need to carefully consider all the options for storing books in the nursery.

Types of designs for storing children’s books

An extensive range of furniture provides an opportunity to choose a model for any purpose, taking into account all factors. For children’s printed materials can be purchased:

• bookcase;
• furniture wall;
• shelving unit;
• open hinged shelves;
• a floor shelf;
• mobile cart.

Each type of furniture has its own features, advantages and disadvantages. It is necessary to carefully consider the options, so that the cabinet, shelf or children’s shelf for books provided maximum convenience, meet all the requirements.

Homemade craftsmen can build a storage unit for a child’s books with their own hands. On the Internet you can find a lot of original ideas for such designs. Consumable materials for them are in every store of building materials.

Basic requirements for furniture for children’s books

• Rack, cabinet or shelf for books in the nursery must meet several criteria. When buying this furniture, you need to focus on the specific purpose, requirements for children’s room furniture. The design should:
• Create quality conditions for the storage of the child’s entire library;
• Provide ease of use;
• ensure safety;
• blend in with the interior.

The shelves in the rack, cabinet or wall will have to accommodate prints of different sizes. In the design should be able to find a place for each book. Free access to each of them is necessary, so that at any time the child can take the necessary work.

Storage for children’s books will take part in instilling in the child a love of cleanliness. The furniture should provide convenience in the neat arrangement of books. This will help your child maintain order easily.

A storage system will help your child maintain order

Rack, wall, children’s shelf for books should be safe. It is necessary to pay attention to the material of manufacture, stability, reliability of construction. This furniture is an important element of the interior. It is necessary to consider the harmony of its combination with the decoration, other furnishings. Shelves should successfully complement the design of the children’s room.

Rules for choosing designs

Children’s room should be comfortable, safe, create the ideal conditions for the development of the child, the formation of useful skills. Furniture for storing books in the nursery is selected with these factors in mind. The main criteria are:

• the scale of the library, perspective;
• the area of the room, the availability of space, its size;
• the age of the child, his habits, preferences;
• features of the interior, its style;
• financial resources.

A preschooler’s library may be small, including 10-15 favorite books. Sometimes parents do not think it necessary to buy a lot of literature, accustomed to the child from an early age to visit the library or organize the exchange of books with other families. In this case, it is sufficient to hang a children’s shelf for books. The shelf is chosen taking into account the specifics of the interior, the age of the child.

Many parents who want to instill, maintain a love of reading in children, prefer to create a home library. It provides an opportunity to re-read favorite works, forms a strong interest in literature, which is sure to come in handy in life. For such a growing up reader, you need to install a cabinet or shelf for books in the nursery. This furniture will provide the opportunity to place a solid library, replenish it as the child grows up.

You must ensure that your child has access to books. The kid will not be able to get his favorite stories in a closet or on a large shelf. Such placement creates a risk of falling and getting hurt. In the room of a preschooler, you can install a floor children’s shelf for books, hang low wall structures, taking into account the growth of the child.

The price range for furniture structures of this category is quite large. Every consumer will be able to choose a model. It is not necessary to purchase expensive products made of natural wood. You can choose from a range of inexpensive, safe furniture.

Cabinets and shelving for storing books

Every bibliophile will tell you that the best storage for books is an enclosed cabinet. Indeed, this furniture creates ideal conditions for printed matter. The cabinet protects literature from external influences. For expensive books, which will be stored for many years, these designs are ideal. Such furniture is worthy of decorating the interior, gives solidity.

However, for the children’s room, the cabinet is not the best solution. This option can only be used in the room of a teenager who already knows how to appreciate furniture, books, treat them with care.

If the child is going to have a large library, you can install a convenient rack for books in the child’s room. This design provides an opportunity to conveniently place a lot of literature. In addition to it, the shelves can accommodate crafts, souvenirs, accessories, etc. The range of such furniture is large, it is possible to choose a model for any interior.

Racks have several important advantages. Designs:

• have a large capacity;
• have a universal purpose;
• easy to use;
• can be used in zoning.

In the room of a schoolboy, teenager you can install a classic model. A large range of dimensions allows you to choose a design taking into account the size of the available space. If a children’s corner has to be equipped in the living room, the shelving unit can be used for zoning.

The range of this furniture also includes special models. For a kid’s room, you can choose a special children’s rack for books. These designs are characterized by small dimensions, provide a child with comfort, safety.

Placement of shelves for books in the nursery

It is necessary not only to choose the right furniture for storing books in the nursery, but also to competently determine the place of its installation, installation. There are several criteria to be guided in the selection of the location:

The shelves should give the child free access to books;

the furniture should guarantee safety;

it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the interior, the location of zones.

Children’s hinged shelves for books are placed in such a way that a child can easily get any book, put it on the shelf. This will ensure safety and allow to accustom to order. Installation of structures should be carried out carefully to ensure that they are securely fastened. If a large floor model is installed, the child does not reach the top shelves, cells, you need to buy him a comfortable ladder or place decorative items in inaccessible areas.

Most of the shelves for books in the nursery are placed in the area of rest, creative activities. Here there is also a table with a chair or a sofa. If the design is intended for school books, it is installed in the student’s work corner. This provides comfort in use. A small shelf can be mounted in the sleeping area near the bed. Many children like to read before bedtime. In this case, special attention should be paid to the quality of lighting required for this activity.

In the early days of your child’s development, it’s important to have an art corner in the nursery where they can play and experiment with different types of toys and games. This will help them get used to new things and make new connections in their development.

You need as early as possible to begin to engage in creativity with the child. And the earlier in the nursery, or even in the house will have a separate place where he can draw, sculpture, make, the better. For a preschooler to spend time in such activities – means to develop motor skills, get different sensory experiences, learn to perceive different colors, shades (that is already in a different way to see the outside world and respond to it). And then, creativity is always a contact with oneself, it is the ability to find out what you love and understand what you feel.

How to set up an artist’s corner?

Very often parents, when they hear me asking a child to draw and model at home, say, “But it’s dirty, horrible, he’ll get everything dirty!”

We need to think of a place that is comfortable for both the child and mom and dad:

• Allocate a space that could easily be covered with tape (and the floor, too) or old wallpaper, for example. It’s easier to cover than to wash and clean up every time.
• Keep all the materials for creativity separately in the closet, arranged in boxes – plastic transparent containers. Crayons here, crayons here, and felt-tip pens there. A separate box for natural materials: leaves, twigs, acorns, stones, cones. Cardboard, color paper, clay and plasticine – everything is in its place. By the way, even good materials for crafts are from the packaging – wrappers, ribbons, foil from under the chocolate, it’s also possible to collect in a separate box. If all this will just lie pile on the table, the felt-tip pens will quickly find themselves without caps, and parents will be outraged “what a mess?
• At the same time, the child should have some small set of materials available in case he or she just wants to draw or make something. Crayons, paper – something simple, with which you can work and not get dirty.

How do we plan to do creative work?

We should do it regularly, at least every weekend. The time should, of course, be convenient for both the family and the child: for example, 10-11 in the morning or after an afternoon nap so the artist won’t be hungry, sleepy, or tired.

How do you choose the themes? I would suggest different options.

You can base it on the time of year, holiday dates, and give a conditional assignment: “What did we see on a walk in winter?”, “Spring holidays.

It is possible to go from the material. For example, the adult prepares cones, twigs, plasticine – we make handicrafts, applications from plant materials.

How long the class depends on the age: if a child is 2-3 years old, an hour – it’s incredibly long, it’s enough and 15-20 minutes. For 6-7-year-olds, it’s 30-40 minutes. Some need two times for 15 minutes with a break: assiduity and ability to concentrate are different.

Parents often say, “I don’t have time, and he won’t do anything alone, we have to sit together. So, you do it this way: at first you and your child sit together for a while, showing how you can work with this or that material, and then you say, “You do it for now, and I’ll come back later. You gradually increase this time. In about two months, you get to the point where a high school-aged child is working alone, you just start and finish together. It’s a matter of practice.

How do you respond to the work?

The author has labored, and now he brings his masterpiece to his mom, waiting for her reaction. What to say?

• Don’t try to guess what’s drawn. Very often it’s hard to see the difference between a squirrel or, for example, a lynx in a drawing. And if we’re talking about very young children, it can be hard to see anything in particular.
• Avoid characterizations: “How beautiful!” or “I like it.” If mom answers “How beautiful it is!” to everything, the child may come to the conclusion that she doesn’t care. And he or she does not learn to analyze their work, ceases to understand the difference between bloopers and masterpieces (and children do have such things).
• Give a description: “I see you used bright, contrasting colors: green, black, red.” “Here you have strokes, and here I see circles, you used different lines,” “Tell me what you drew.” You have to encourage the child to tell a story. Another good question is, “Did you draw well? Are you happy with it?” And children, by the way, are often dissatisfied. Discuss, as with an artist, colors, lines, and creative solutions. Let him learn to assess himself, so that he is not dependent on the assessment of others.

Why make an exhibition?

In a child’s room, there must be a space for an exhibition of his work. Because pictures and crafts are his reflection, his self. An exhibition means: “this is my home,” “I live here,” “this is my space.” No need to decorate this room with purchased posters.

• Arrange the crafts: two shelves are enough.
• Drawings – hang up. Parents will not want to make extra holes in the walls for frames, but they are not needed. There are better options. You can make a mobile hanging: on two nails to fasten on the wall of a fishing line or twine with the usual clothespins. You can fasten (glue on a double-sided adhesive tape) to the shelves, to the chandelier (if the design allows), hang on clothespins on the usual ledge of fishing line or hang paintings on metal hangers with clothespins.

The exhibit can be changed: make room for a new one. You will quickly learn how to trim the obvious blotches from what you want to keep. Some valuable drawings will go to the family archive. Some works can be collected in an album. But there is another option: to use them as reuse material for creativity – to make from them colored collages, pasparto.

You can:

• cut up chaotically old drawings, add buttons, beads and make an original frame;
• make holiday cards by cutting out some details;
• glue boxes, caskets.

With all the technology and gadgets available to entertain children, it’s no wonder that many parents are opting to forgo a dedicated playroom and create play areas throughout their homes. If you’re one of these parents, or are looking to create a playroom for your child, here are a few tips on how to get started.

Once you’ve decided on the layout, you’ll need to decide what type of furniture and accessories you want in the room. When choosing furniture, keep in mind that it should be sturdy and safe for children. You may want to consider investing in a few pieces of furniture that can be used for multiple purposes, such as a play table that can also be used as a desk, or a storage bench that can also serve as a seat.

1 Allocate a suitable nook in the room

Child psychologists say that it is important for a young child to provide several options for play: active activities, a table for drawing or crafts, and a secluded corner where he can hide and be alone with himself. If you remember yourself, you’ll realize that you wanted the same thing – it was not for nothing that you built “houses” from blankets and hid under tables. 

Today, our children have much more opportunities, and even to make a house for himself does not have to, because there are modern tepees, which are quite suitable for privacy. Also, such devices are foldable and do not take up much space – it will be possible to put and other toys, and a desk if necessary. 

2 Make use of any free space 

In small apartments, square footage should be used sparingly. Why not make space in the window area for games and activities? Like we did in this apartment. The radiator is covered with a “screen” – a wooden fence, which gives aesthetics, but at the same time does not steal heat from the room. And the remaining area is quite enough to lay out toys, and then put them in bags.

3 Find a place not only in the nursery

Probably most people are familiar with this children’s kitchen from IKEA. Quite a big thing, but what a convenient – you can occupy a child and teach him the basic skills at the same time. Usually such kitchens are placed in children’s rooms. But if this option is not for you, maybe there is room in the regular kitchen? Of course, at a safe distance from the stove. But mom or dad can prepare food without distracting the baby or running to his room to check if everything is okay. 

4 Use an insulated balcony

Balcony or loggia with insulation is often used to expand the usable space of the apartment. Arrange a playroom for a child there – why not? On a few squares will fit and a table for activities, and storage systems for toys, and the same “role” activities for the future, like this kitchen.

5 Take advantage of floor mattresses

To let your child “blow off steam” without worrying about the safety of their arms, legs and head, parents have several options. The first – lay the floor with a soft carpet, to allocate a separate zone in the nursery. Or the second – use temporary measures that will be easy to remove afterwards. If you live in a small apartment, then the second option is yours. Floor mattresses will just become the very “straw”, which can be put on the floor anywhere, let the child to show activity, and then put away in the closet.

6 Or use a modular sofa

If you have a modular sofa installed, it’s even easier. Just take it apart into modules, and let the kids go at it. 

7 Go…up

And the last idea on our list is for older kids. Make a sleeping space on the second “floor”, and use the free space as a playroom. 

How do kids keep playroom tidy?

It can be a challenge to keep a playroom tidy, but with a little bit of effort, it can be done. Here are a few tips on how to keep your kids’ playroom tidy:

Keeping order in the nursery is as difficult as possible. And all because during the game any child tries to use the entire arsenal of existing opportunities. It is not easy to clean the debris formed after the games. Cleaning can be facilitated by following a few simple steps. Let us tell you what to do it the best way. Read and find out what ideas for storing toys will help make your baby’s room clean and tidy.

The basic principles of creating a convenient storage system

Play is a form of development. It helps to learn about the world, to try on different roles, to dive into illusions and fantasies and to find there the explanation of the most unclear questions. Toys are tools to create a world of magic. Therefore, it is impossible to do without them.

Uncontrolled shopping leads to an accumulation of a huge number of cars or dolls. They become so much that they begin to disturb literally everyone. In order not to worsen the problem, it is important to start each cleaning of the room with the revision of toys.

It is useful at this stage to find and remove all unnecessary. Subject to removal:

• Toys that are broken and cannot be repaired. This could include mosaics with lost parts, constructors that lack all the necessary elements, cars without wheels, bears with torn off paws.
• Toys that are not appropriate to the age of the child. Rattles are unlikely to be of interest to the student, so you can safely discard them. It is worth to put away cubes, pyramids, dolls, if no one is playing them for a long time.
• Toys that have become uninteresting kid. And these things happen. Throw them away immediately should not be: what if they remember, want to see. It is better to put and put in some distant drawer. If your child remembers them, you can take them out and show them.

What’s left after the revision, you need to carefully sort: all toys experts advise to divide into three large groups.

The first group consists of the things that the child plays every day. This can be a favorite stuffed toy with which he falls asleep in bed, a car, constructor. These items should always be on hand so that the baby could at any time to get up and take it without the help of adults, and then, after playing, put it back.

The second group is important to put toys that are used when the son or daughter comes to the company peers. These can be mini kitchens, dolls houses, designers. Their place is inside a closed cabinet, on shelves at chest level of the child.

Or you can make a doll house inside an old suitcase and take it out to play from under the bed. Then it will not take up much space in the room.

It is important to organize such a storage system for them, so that inside it you can arrange the items in one or two rows. Do not pile toys up: it will make it harder to find what you need. To get it out, you would have to pour out all the supplies in the drawer. Here you have a new mess.

In the third group, experts advise setting aside toys, games that require the presence of an adult. There are potentially dangerous sets (designers with small parts, toy first aid kits, games in the style of “daughters of the mother”), they should be stored high, where the son or daughter alone can not get boxes.

Nursery cabinets, open shelves and chests

Suggest ideas for storing children’s toys in this category can furniture manufacturers. There is a large number of open shelves.

It is worth choosing those models that will be convenient for the child himself to use.

While the kids are small, experts advise installing racks on the side. Then the child will not be able to climb up them high, as if they were climbing a ladder. If in addition to shelving buy plastic containers, it will be easier to sort toys and put them into separate thematic groups. To then easily find the right thing in them, it is enough to glue to the end of the container image of the contents.

Instead of containers, buckets are also good. There are special sets for storing sundries on sale. Bright and lightweight, the buckets have no sharp corners. They are roomy enough and very convenient to use.

If there is no space to install a rack, you can put containers and buckets on open shelves mounted on the walls. Even if you use storage systems for this, which are usually used to complete dressing rooms, it will turn out very beautiful.

Convenience is the main criterion for choosing a storage system. Children use only what they can see. Therefore, only those toys that are in sight will be considered relevant. If they lie at the bottom of a deep drawer, they will soon be forgotten about.

Therefore, when buying furniture, be sure to take this fact into account. The height of the cabinets should not exceed the height of the child’s hand. Then the kid will be able to take the necessary thing from the shelves and put it back.

It is difficult for boys and girls to focus on two or three objects at once. Their eyes perceive one thing at a time. Therefore, it is useful to sort game tools and put the cars separately, separately developing games, and place soft toys in a row on the shelf.

You can sew pockets. They are sold ready-made in the accessories section. They look like a large piece of fabric, which formed a convenient cavity. They fit well dolls, small stuffed bears and bunnies. The piece of fabric is usually attached to the side end of the furniture. The child can at any time to come up, take out what he needs, and then put it in place.

It is important to avoid complicated designs. Transformer furniture is not for the baby. It is more likely to be suitable for a teenager. It is also difficult for a child to use shelves that are hidden in the podium. For preschoolers need to organize a very simple storage of children’s toys – ideas and tips for its organization will give a little below. In the meantime, let’s continue to deal with the basic principles of organizing play space.

Dream of a perfect order in the house where young children live, it is not necessary. They are constantly on the move and playing with several of their favorite toys, so the pile, piled on the floor, for them it is normal.

In order not to be nervous, you need to organize a room in the play corner and teach the kid there scatter his toys. The field of play will not be constantly sprawling, if you limit the area from the rest of the room. To do this, it is not necessary to erect fences. It is enough to organize a play area near the accent wall and spread a small rug on the floor or install a children’s tent or a house.

For educational purposes, it is useful to involve the kid himself in cleaning toys. It will be easier to do this, if you make cleaning an interesting exciting game, cause interest in storing items in bright beautiful boxes and drawers.

A good trick is when instead of the usual closet there is a module that looks like a house. His child will be more willing to fill it.

If you make a few hiding places, you can also organize a convenient storage of children’s toys – the ideas for this will prompt the children themselves. They have a lot of nooks in their room. They just need to put drawers or baskets.

One large stash can be made if you buy a regular chest and paint it, paint. It is very roomy, you can also put boxes inside for easy sorting. But the very fact of having your own treasures will please any child.

Other creative solutions

If there is no space for a trunk, a large bag can replace it. If you want, you can sew it yourself from cotton scraps. If you provide a lace in the upper part, it will tighten the neck and close the contents, not allowing them to scatter on the floor.

And here is another option for using bags. You can put not only stuffed toys in them, but also any other small items. If there is a collection of superheroes in the house, a ready-made version of a soft shoebox will be more suitable for them.

Some needlewomen show imagination, dipping a box inside the bag. It gives the product a strict geometric shape and provides its stability. You can set the bag in a corner of the room, you can hang it on a hook at chest level of the baby. When necessary, he will take toys out of the bag, and then put them back.

Boxes lined with fabric – another alternative to chests. They are lightweight, beautiful and safe. Such an item is a great decoration for any interior.

If the house is growing boy and he has an impressive collection of cars, make him a garage, make it inside the shelves and then you’ll see how accurate your child will be. He will every time to drive into the garage of his fleet of cars after playing with it at his pleasure.

Take a few colored plastic buckets, stack them on top of each other in a pyramid, fasten them together, you get a very convenient and roomy system that allows you to organize the storage of children’s toys in the nursery – such ideas are implemented quickly, the purchase of plastic buckets will be inexpensive.

Among the goods for the garden or in hardware stores they sell metal baskets or plastic garbage cans, which can also be adapted for storing toys.

And here is another original idea. Pillow cases for pillows. And inside there are soft toys. This approach is not only very original, but also practical. Such an object can serve as an armchair at the same time.

Suspension systems also deserve special attention. There are on sale convenient organizers, shelves and hammocks. They look very interesting in any interior. Such devices free up space on the lower level, and there is more space for games. This is relevant for small rooms.

Another solution to save space in the room is to use the space under the bed for storage. There are furniture manufacturers that produce large drawers, specially designed for this purpose. They cost inexpensive, their purchase allows you to hide a large number of items.

Briefly about the main thing

Find order in the nursery, and then maintain it will be easier if you organize a roomy storage system for toys.

It must be beautiful and convenient for the child. It is important to find something that he can easily use without the help of an adult.

There are shelves, cabinets and hangers on sale. If the square footage does not allow you to use ready-made systems, you can organize a convenient storage system with organizers, bags, pillowcases.

The children’s room is the most difficult place in terms of keeping order. Creative and active children can turn a perfectly tidy room into a realm of chaos in a few minutes. To make the clutter disappear as quickly as it appeared, it is important to think about places and ways of storage.

We’ve hand-picked a few ideas for you to stop struggling with scattered items and start managing order.

The 3 Principles of Keeping Things In Order

It doesn’t matter what kind of storage system you use, as long as the 3 main principles of tidying up are followed:

1. Every thing has its own place. It will be easier for a child to clean up toys if each of them has its own “home”. You can stylistically obygray design storage space, making the dolls and accessories to them rack in the form of a house, a constructor to get drawers in the form of cubes, and order for cars parking.
2. Divide and conquer. All items should be categorized and stored in separate containers, depending on size and purpose. Bears with bears, paints with paints.
3. It’s clean where it’s empty. The fewer things, shelves and cabinets you have, the easier it is to keep things tidy and clean. Periodically sort toys and books, get rid of those of which the child has already grown out. Put the toys that the child doesn’t play with “on vacation” so that they can be used again later.

Storage organization

There are 3 main generators of clutter in a child’s room: the play area, a table with office supplies and items for creativity, and a closet with clothes.

Toys

Certain storage containers are appropriate for each type of toy. For example, the smallest items (figurines of Kinder-surprise, construction details, scatter mosaic) is better to use containers with a lid that exclude accidental spillage and protect toys from dust. Containers are convenient to place on mesh racks, shelves or in drawers under the bed.

For larger toys, cloth, plastic or wicker baskets are appropriate. Do not buy baskets that are too tall, as it will be uncomfortable for a child to use them and the toys at the bottom of the basket will remain unclaimed.

A handy solution is sturdy wooden crates with a lid. They combine the functions of a storage system, seat and play table. Compared to the popular plastic containers of large size, versatile wooden drawers are more convenient in children’s rooms of compact size.

“Clean one, two, three” is great for young children who play with a few of their favorite toys each time. The play mat bag easily unfolds on the floor, providing your child with a warm and soft space to play. It also rolls up quickly with all the toys on it. The mat serves as a good alternative to a traditional cloth basket.

Stationery

Space organizers offer a few great tips for storing office supplies and art supplies in an orderly fashion.

A cutlery tray can be used to keep pencils, pens, felt-tip pens, erasers and other stationery separate in desk drawers. Drawer dividers commonly used in kitchen or linen drawers work similarly.

Pegboard perforated panels help organize convenient wall storage for all stationery and art accessories. You can install hooks, shelves, containers, holders of different kinds on them and place items at a convenient height for a child, changing the location, if necessary.

A system of holders for hanging shelves, modules and baskets works similarly to the pegboard.

To store and organize school notebooks, atlases, albums, various types of paper for creativity, vertical document trays are ideal. They can be placed in rows in closed cabinets or shelving cells. If you sign each tray, finding the right thing will be much faster.

Clothes

Many people are familiar with the situation when opening a closet with clothes on them falls out a bunch of crumpled baby t-shirts, pants and turtlenecks, and on top of scattered socks. And the reason is not always laziness. It is possible that the traditional storage system for a child seems inconvenient.

One of the most rational ways to store folded things – vertical storage in boxes on shelves or in drawers, using hard or soft organizers.

You can also use all kinds of hanging systems, pockets and shelves for small items of clothing for the closet.

It is convenient to store clean changeable shoes in metal or plastic baskets, which are installed in the closet on special holders or simply put on the shelf.

The choice of flooring in the children’s room – quite a task! The wrong approach in this matter can turn into problems in the future, such as asthma and allergic reactions in the child, spoiled in the first year expensive coating, rotten floor boards under the laminate and visible scratches. That’s why this choice must be approached with great responsibility, if you’re not burning desire to make a new repair every summer.

Children’s room: a thousand and one requirements

So what is so different from any other children’s room? And why is the choice of flooring is always given so much attention? The fact is that in this room always:

• High dynamic load (children run, jump, and sometimes with friends).
• The risk of moisture getting on the flooring (kids drawing and drinking juice).
• Scratches, chips and scuffs in the most unexpected places (children are always playing moving games).
• “Marble” stains from felt-tip pens (the kids’ favorite activity).

We are to the point, how resistant to abrasion and stains should be coating in the children’s room. But it also has its own specific requirements:

• Eco-friendliness. The child should not, after a few months, start choking on dust or allergens.
• Cushioning of steps. For young children, too hard coating is even dangerous to health: it’s a serious load on the spine and the risk of developing flat feet.
• The surface should not be slippery – to avoid accidental injury.

But if you add all these requirements together, there is probably no such flooring in the world. Each of the types that exist today has some kind of advantage, and to make the right choice you need to focus not on the pros, but on what disadvantages you can put up with. In addition, each age has different requirements.

An overview of suitable traditional floor coverings

So let’s take a closer look at what are popular floor coverings for the nursery today, what their composition and laying process is, what substances are used in the installation process (an important question) and much more. On your way!

Cork – warmth and cushioning

This is by far the most in-demand flooring for the nursery. Soft, environmentally friendly and quiet – what can be better? But it is not an uncommon situation, when in one family cork was laid only for two years and already has a torn look, and in the other family it has served faithfully for ten years, and children in both families are equally active. So where, in fact, are so many negative reviews about this coating, when along with no less praise?

It’s simple: cork is different cork. That is, you can buy a really high quality material, but you can simply stumble on a fake. Let’s understand all this a little bit.

So, there is such a thing as technical cork. It is made from residues and are used as a substrate for laminate. Its function as a soundproofing and softening stroke performs well, and it can be purchased cheaply from unscrupulous sellers under the guise of a full-fledged coverage. But in a regular children’s room, such cork will not last long.

The second type of cork flooring – adhesive. They can be found on sale in the form of tiles, which are fastened with glue butt to butt. Gaps are not visible, the moisture is not afraid of such a floor, but the very presence of glue confuses many parents.

Cork parquet (cork laminate) – is a cork floor of individual panels. Moisture is already afraid, and the seams over time deformed by the slightest dampness, and therefore suitable only for the bedroom and living room. If you remember Dr. Komarovsky with his appeals to make the air in children’s rooms humid and even control it with a hygrometer, you will realize that the cork flooring must be forgotten.

Also, cork is different by the method of laying: the castle and the adhesive, and in the first case, you do not need the low-environmental glue. But in the second one, and cork itself in the composition of the coating is very small, pay attention to this fact. Here is one of the laying options:

Real cork flooring has remarkable advantages:

• Soundproofing. The result is grateful downstairs neighbors.
• Warmth. Fewer typical childhood illnesses.
• Cushioning of footsteps. A healthier child’s spine.
• Eco-friendliness. No fear for all sorts of volatile and hazardous substances.
• Elasticity. Any dents are smoothed out fairly quickly.

But of the disadvantages it is worth noting that under the cork coating can not install a warm floor. And cork laminate can be placed on the underfloor heating system, but the cork sheets – no. Simply, this material will let out no more than 20% of the heat energy, such is its nature. And the price, of course, is high, considering that cork is also wear-resistant. Also, the surface of cork is rough enough, a child once again will not slip, but home shoes and socks will be washed quickly.

Cork flooring lasts for about ten years, and its partial repair is possible – today sells a special varnish for it. Modern cork floors are no longer like just a loose terracotta-colored surface – they are available today with a beautiful photo print and a variety of colors.

Laminate – practicality and impact resistance

This is by far the most popular choice for children’s rooms. It is easy to clean, looks nice, and on top you can put some mats. Laminate is best suited for a warm flooring system, it easily tolerates temperature fluctuations and can be laid without much difficulty, even with the most complex schemes conceived. Only cheap laminate from 8 mm should not be laid on a heated floor.

And now – about the disadvantages. Let’s just say that not everyone puts laminate in bedrooms or children’s rooms – more out of fear that this material releases formaldehyde, acrylic and melamine resins. Although the manufacturers themselves do not confirm this information. Therefore, if you are going to lay it is laminate, buy only a well-known brand and ask the seller to see the appropriate quality certificates.

Laminate is also quite noisy. It likes to squeak, it fades in the sun and requires a perfectly flat surface. Even a cat that just walked across the room can make a sound as good as heels. And, if you don’t think through quality soundproofing for your downstairs neighbors, you will be angry. Laminate is also slippery, which is not very good for the nursery.

But there is another “but”: the laminate – it’s compressed cardboard, impregnated with glue and covered with melamine resin. That is, for all its appeal, it’s not the most environmentally friendly product. But practical and can withstand the antics of more than one child.

Today there are so many brands of laminate, that it is not easy to understand even the expert. So if you buy this coating, be sure to go first to the brand site (not the seller), and look at the information about it. Fakes and low-quality product does not usually have its own site. While experts recommend such brands as Quick Step, Kronotex and Egger for children’s rooms. Here is the laying of the first of those listed:

Parquet flooring – style and solidity

More importantly, the noise from the parquet board is much less than from the laminate, which rumbles even a falling pencil. In addition, you can easily lay this coating yourself, in contrast to the parquet. By the way, any scratches on the parquet flooring can be repaired – with a special lacquer and sanding.

Parquet flooring, due to its more natural bases, is subject to scratches and dents. Handle with it to be careful, and in the children’s room to do this floor is only possible if you have a very neat child. Moreover, the eco-friendly hardwood flooring is designed more for bedrooms, where there is little traffic. Also, the hardwood flooring poorly tolerates fluctuations in humidity and air temperature – quickly shrinks and swells.

Bottom line: the hardwood flooring is finicky, but it is beautiful and environmentally friendly enough. For children’s rooms – for quiet and tidy children, who spend almost all day at school, and prefer active games in the open air. So, there are also specially created collections of hardwood flooring for children’s rooms – for example, Barlinek Young and some others. Typically, such a floor consists of almost 100% wood, has an antibacterial system and anti-fungal properties.

Carpeting – comfort and safety

It is not convenient for a child to play on a hard floor – after all, you usually have to crawl or lean on your knees during all the action. For these children, a warm carpet is more suitable.

But many modern parents, trained by the many shows and the Internet, actively discard all the “dust collectors” from children’s rooms, leaving only a sterile, clean space of plastic and wood. But they forget that children’s rooms should not resemble research laboratories or operating rooms, because it is the coziness that counts. And designers around the world will agree that the first steps in this direction are textiles and soft materials.

So, modern carpet manufacturers offer a variety of options in color and design, thickness, quality and dressing. Choose what you like! After all, just a few years, when a grown-up child wants to radically change the interior of his room, this floor covering will be easy enough to dismantle.

There are expensive types of carpet, which are designed specifically for children, and they can safely be placed on the underfloor heating system. And the process of installation of this coating is extremely simple:

Here are all the pros and cons of modern floor coverings for children’s rooms. We wish you a successful choice!
