How to choose furniture for a boy's room
As when choosing an interior for a girl, the furniture in a boy’s room should be appropriate for his age. For kids, bright colors with interesting pictures are suitable, while a teenager cannot do without restraint and modern trends.
Preschooler.
It is extremely rare for infants to have nurseries, because they are constantly close to their parents. Usually the youngest family member gets his own room by the age of three, not earlier. It is logical that the design of a boy’s room differs from the design of a girl’s bedroom. Avoid excessive decor in your son’s nursery; it is better to choose light colors to add a feeling of comfort, use a large number of textile elements.
The boy will definitely need:
- comfortable bed;
- a small table with a chair for creative activities;
- a sports corner suitable for his age;
- a place to store toys so that a child from an early age learns to put his things in place;
- a wardrobe with convenient shelves and doors;
- chest of drawers for linen and bedding (at the request of the parents).
Schoolboy.
School age should be divided into two periods: 7–10 and 10–12 years.
Avoid bulky closets for things - boys at this age are not inclined to keep them in order. It’s better to put up a wall bars so that your son can develop, or just leave some free space, he’ll find a use for it himself.
Modular groups would be an excellent solution, because with their help the owner of the nursery will be able to choose the items he really needs.
Teenager.
How to choose furniture for a children's room for a teenage boy? It is not so easy to please your son at this age - he will definitely reject any of your ideas. As a parent, you will have to be wise and compromise, but there are a number of factors to consider when choosing a design:
- layout, location of window and door openings;
- the degree of illumination of the room during the day;
- hobbies of the owner of the room;
- your financial capabilities.
Of course, teddy bears on the wallpaper and a typewriter bed won’t do. A teenager may like a brutal brick wall in a loft style or photo wallpaper with mystical characters, space wars or city landscapes. It is important for him to choose the design of his room himself. Be mentally prepared for the fact that your child may generally give preference to dark colors. Try inviting him to dilute the gloomy interior with bright textiles, install a creative floor lamp, and hang shelves for collectibles.
Some tips for choosing custom-made children's furniture.
Almost always, the nursery is also a bedroom for your children. Depending on the number of children, there are one or more children's beds. For small nurseries and several children, multi-tiered beds are made. Mattresses must be semi-rigid, about 6 cm thick, preferably with a linen cover or from other natural materials only. The filling in the mattress must be hypoallergenic. It could be seaweed or the well-known coconut flakes.
Interior Design
in the nursery can be done in a visually pleasing color scheme, which should help both relax and also work. We recommend that you choose pastel colors: blue, green, or, if desired, bright and rich ones. This will increase the illumination of your nursery and create a great mood.
But it is also necessary to ensure that natural light from the street enters the children's room. A children's room definitely needs a night light and a chandelier with bright lighting on the ceiling. You must provide your child with a desk lamp on his desk. The lamp should be placed on the left, this is important for the child’s vision. Lamp shades must not be glass.
We advise
- You should definitely pay attention to the comfort of the crib for your baby to sleep. The baby often tosses and turns at night, take this into account.
- Our kids love multi-tier cribs. And under the bed you can always place a desk or wardrobe. Do not forget that the cribs must be equipped with guards so that your child does not fall in his sleep.
- It is necessary to take into account the height of your child when ordering furniture. The baby must reach all things without assistance.
- Great importance should be given to the choice of color of the furniture being manufactured.
- Try to allocate a room for the children's room on the sunny side of your house.
- Pay special attention to the safety of children's furniture.
How to choose furniture for a girl's room
The choice of furniture for a nursery depends on the age of the child. So, in infancy, a girl has no need for unnecessary accessories, that is, the room should only contain things that help parents care for their daughter. In general, the following stages of child development are distinguished:
- Infancy. Usually parents equip the nursery with a small crib, but we advise you to choose a transforming crib. Then you can easily turn it into a compact table, which your daughter will later use for creative activities.
- Period 4–7 years. By this age, girls acquire a large wardrobe that needs to be stored somewhere. It is best to choose a low chest of drawers for clothes and linen for a child’s room, as well as a wardrobe for outerwear and shoes. Both items can continue to serve the child.
- Period 8–12 years. This is the time when children develop hobbies and preferences are formed. In a girl's nursery there should be a cozy sleeping place, possibly combined with lockers. To create additional comfort, the bed can be equipped with special curtains. For a desk with a computer, it is better to choose a place near the window, so it will receive more natural light.
- Teenage years. This is the age when new acquaintances appear and girls begin to actively communicate with peers. The daughter may already give up the computer and choose a tablet instead, then the large writing desk can also be abandoned in favor of a smaller one. And, of course, a small table with a mirror for personal care becomes a must-have item in any teenage girl’s room.
If you need to choose a nursery design for your daughter, let her use her imagination, because today manufacturers of wooden furniture offer a wide variety of high-quality products for every taste.
How to choose furniture for a children's room for two children
Let us repeat that when choosing furniture for a nursery, it is important to take into account the age of the children, and the advice of experienced designers can also simplify your task:
- If the age difference between children is small, it is better to buy two beds, a chest of drawers and a changing table (if the latter is needed).
- You should not clutter the room with unnecessary objects - this will not allow you to use the room to its fullest.
- The room should be bright and spacious enough.
- If the age difference is large, the older one needs to be allocated a separate space, that is, the nursery will have to be divided into two separate zones. In this case, special modular furniture or partitions will help you.
- For children of different sexes and teenagers of the same sex, be sure to buy furniture intended for use by two children.
In addition to age and gender, it is necessary to take into account what colors children like, but give up the idea of choosing too bright, saturated colors for the nursery, because it is uncomfortable to constantly live in their surroundings.
