Colors in interior , nursery furniture, arrangement, toy boxes, lamps, curtains, carpet need a room for a boy, a girl or two children...

So many questions arise when considering how to arrange a room for children . But there are several universal aspects which will facilitate the process, even in the long term, regardless of the chosen room decoration style and chosen objects design. Let's collect them!

Durability

Choosing furniture that will go with time and will not need to be changed every few years does not mean that the nursery you decorated for a two-year-old will look just as childish for a seven-year-old . Of course, by reaching school age, the child's needs will have changed significantly and the children's room will have to be supplemented with equipment that will facilitate the learning process - a suitable ergonomic chair and study table . However, if you have decided not to change the basic furniture, such as clothes wardrobe and bed , the mood in the nursery you can easily change with interior items , child drawings and decorations, new lamps or carpets and the student's interests and tastes.

Yes, even a seven-year-old has his own taste!

For found decorative items. On the other hand, in order for the furniture to be suitable for different age stages of the child, choose laconic; for a schoolgirl, lockers with pink cartoon piggy prints will no longer be relevant.

Security

At the age of a baby, you should especially think about safety. It is a time when physically the child is already capable of a lot, but is not aware of actions consequences and in his understanding the dangers do not yet exist.

• The corners of the furniture should be covered with the accessories designed for it - corner protectors so that the child, running corner of the table, don't get hurt.
• The furniture should be placed in such a way that there are no narrow gaps between them that can fall into and get stuck.
• Do not place furniture near the windowsill so that the child cannot climb on it.
• Electrical sockets must be safely equipped with special accessories or electrical for rosette protectors , so that a child cannot push anything into them, and the wires must also be securely masked.
• There should not be easily broken lamps and accessories in the children's room .

Practicality

• It is important to set aside a free area in the room where the child can play comfortably.

• If you plan to use the furniture for several years, that is, both during the baby's age and during the primary school years, you should carefully consider suitability of furniture. So, for example, you can buy a transformable bed, or a bed that grows with the child; it can be lengthened as needed over time or the protective barrier removed when it loses its relevance.

• If you plan for the child to live in the same room with the existing basic furniture even at an older age, you should initially plan, where additional necessary furniture will be located (school desk, etc.).

• However, it must be remembered that it is important for the furniture to be of such a design and size that the child can comfortably open his wardrobe, and to reach a book from the shelf. In one word - functional.

• If you want to place a carpet in the children's nursery, you must make sure that it is easy to maintain, because it will get dirty regularly - these can be accidentally spilled drinks, plasticine, paints or other raw materials for creative works.
