"All the best" to children!» We all remember this slogan from the Soviet times. However, today there are ample opportunities to put it into practice. We strive to give children all the best from the adult world, starting with the creation of a small but wonderful corner - a children's room. This entertaining and truly exciting process usually captivates all household members, including grandparents. How to give children a fairy tale and make their room the most beautiful and beloved? Let's try to figure out how to design a room with your own hands. Of course, all moms and dads would prefer to make a separate nursery for each child. However, in practice, unfortunately, this is not always possible. And if living conditions do not allow you to allocate a separate room for each child, then you need to proceed from what you have. After all, having a common room for a boy and a girl also has many advantages. The design of a children's room with your own hands is primarily based on understanding the differences between children, which leads to the need to create a comfortable and cozy living space for each of them.

For the walls, you can choose neutral colors, such as gold, light gray, soft blue or light green. In the interior design, you should not focus on things for a boy or a girl. Curtains, paintings and clocks are also better suited to each of them. If you want to draw pictures on the walls, they should not depict princesses and cars. It is best to choose a picture that will become a unifying element of the entire room. Individual features characteristic of a boy and a girl can be given to beds and bedside tables. On the bed of a little princess, you can put a bedspread of a delicate color with ruffles, and on the bedside table put a lamp in a girlish theme, for example, with fairies. For a boy, a night light in the form of a football and a blue bedspread will do. It is important to tie all these items into the overall solution of the room. A competent do-it-yourself room design will help create comfortable conditions for the coexistence of two children in one area. When creating a room for a boy and a girl, it is important to use the technique of zoning the space. One of the options for solving this issue is to visually delimit the sleeping areas of the children, but in this case, on the contrary, it is desirable to make the place for games common. To save precious space, you can also use a bunk bed, which will help to properly organize the sleep of a boy and a girl even in spacious rooms. After all, such beds create additional privacy and isolation for children, since they do not sleep in sight of each other. The desk can be made common for both children, while it is better to place it near the window so that there is no lack of sunlight. Psychologists believe that people tend to get to know each other better if they are often face to face. This is very useful for the correct psychological development of children. That is why the arrangement of tables opposite each other is another interesting and functional option for planning a children's room for a boy and a girl. It is impossible to imagine the furnishing of a children's room without a wardrobe. It can be made common for both children, this will save space and help children learn to resolve conflicts peacefully and fairly divide all things between themselves. Modern furniture solutions for children's rooms also offer the installation of wardrobes in bunk beds, this can be very beneficial in order to free up more space for games. A small dressing table will be very useful for a girl, at which she can preen and "make herself beautiful". For a boy, a sports wall located in the room will be useful for developing his physical abilities.

A small table is definitely needed for the baby, because at it she will be able to do educational activities and play with dolls - hold impromptu tea parties, all kinds of performances and even give them "lessons".
