At first in the child's room everything is so cute,nezhnenkoe and generally mi-mi-mi. And then the baby grows out of the crib, and from the changing room, and from all these ruches-bows. Do repairs every 2-4 years? Maybe I would like to, but it's unlikely that anyone will be able to do it. But if you approach the design of a nursery with thoughts for the future, you can update the room without much trouble, and most importantly - the cost. Woman's Day has collected the best advice.Photo: GettyImages
Color around the head
For the general background of the room it is better to chooseneutral color. And the nursery itself can be divided into zones: a place where the child rests, a place where he plays or does homework. Different colors are suitable for each of these zones: for the “sleepy” zone – blue or beige, for the “active” zone – green or yellow. But do not rush to paint the walls in a rainbow: it is better to make color accents on individual elements of the interior. Then you can easily and inexpensively change them. Why? Psychologists say that over the years, a child’s taste preferences change. At the age of 5-9, children usually prefer bright colors: red, pink, purple. And closer to adolescence, they tend to give preference to green, yellow, beige. Advice: it is still worth adding the child’s ideas. Images of animals, floral prints (on curtains, for example) or fantasy-style plots will fit perfectly into the interior.
Healthy baby sleep
The place for rest should be as large as possibleisolated from the rest of the space. Here, in his cozy corner, created by caring parents, the child will be able to immediately switch to sleep. A popular solution is a canopy over the bed, which will protect from excess light (it is still better to sleep in complete darkness) and visually separate the sleeping area. By the way, it is suitable for children of all ages, and not just for a cradle. Advice: choose restrained colors or a strict alcove model. Then you will not have to change it along with the bed. But you will still have to change the bed: children grow quickly.Photo: GettyImages
Place for lessons
There should be such a place even in the room.newborn. After all, very soon the baby will need his own, albeit tiny, table for building blocks, modeling or drawing. Then the child will grow up, and he will need his own desk. And you will not have to think about where to place it: you just need to replace the small table with a large one. From the very beginning, plan the place for the baby's studies in the light part of the room, near the window. Ideally, there should be not only a table and a chair, but also bookcases. Advice: do not forget about an outlet near the study area. And better yet, more than one: you need to plug in a computer, a table lamp, a phone charger somewhere. You don't want wires dangling all over the room, do you? It's unsightly and traumatic.
Space for the game
There are several options for organizing the area forgames in the child's room. Furniture is placed along the walls and thus frees up space in the center, where a play mat for the child or just a mat with children's toys is placed. Then you can put all sorts of frameless poufs there, because the child will have guests coming, and they need to be seated somewhere. Or, perhaps, the child will prefer a cozy swing chair for reading. Advice: if the child's play area is near the wall, it can be highlighted with photo wallpaper or any other accent wallpaper; if it gets dirty, re-glue only that part.
Wardrobe or closet
Order comes first.A child has much more things than both parents. This means that he needs a roomy wardrobe. To avoid unnecessary expenses in the future, plan a normal, full-fledged tall wardrobe right away. The child will use the lower shelves independently. And on the upper shelves you can store seasonal things. If the room is large, you can “cut off” one of the corners and make a large wardrobe there. Advice: it does not matter what you decide on - an “adult” built-in wardrobe or a regular wardrobe. The main thing is that the furniture is without doors. This will save space and minimize the risk of injury.Photo: GettyImages
Briefly about the main
- Be sure to leave some space.space that the child can then fill himself, based on his hobbies. For example, the daughter will have a luxurious floor mirror, and the son will certainly take this place with a drum kit or a punching bag. - Furniture can also be "growing": there are options with beds or chairs that transform depending on the height and age of the child. But such things are quite expensive. In addition, in the case of a bed, a new mattress will still be needed. But it's up to you to decide. We thank the portal for help in preparing the material.
