If you are very lucky, and at the dawn of living together, you have such an apartment in which there is the required number of rooms, including a room for your child, given to him for separate use, then do not read this article. It is definitely not for you, but if your child does not have his own private possessions in the form of a separate nursery, and you understand the importance of having your own corner for children, then this article is what you need. We will consider some points and ideas in the design of a children's corner with a photo for them.
Ownership of your heir
Even in a small apartment, you can and should arrange the space so that your child gets a place. After all, children develop, play and draw, do their important children's things, all this needs a place. Toys and books should always be at hand.
The sun - to the children!
The design of the children's corner should begin with proper lighting. To preserve the vision of your heir, as well as for its general psychological comfort, place the corner where there is a window. Sunlight is useful for children, and the child does not have the feeling that he was locked in a stuffy closet.
Rack for storing books and toys
The design of textiles and flooring, as well as the design of walls, is made depending on the age of the baby. For the very young - it can be bright drawings and colors, for the student - more restrained tones. Although, do not overdo it with variegation, for the children's psyche, excess irritants for a long time are not a very good color scheme. It is very important that there is room for children's toys, children remain lovers of dolls and cars for quite a long time. A child of primary school age, for example, needs both books and toys. A compromise solution is to place the rack in the children's corner, in the photo below is an option for such a rack.
The rack will help you place toys and pencils with drawing albums and your favorite books, and much more. In special containers under the bed you can put some of the children's "wealth".
Creative do-it-yourself corner
For dreamy and creative natures, make a children's corner with your own hands. A photo of how you can correctly arrange jars and boxes that will store the "works" of your beloved children and help them in further ways of self-expression can be seen in the article.
The kids are big inventors who definitely need to bring most of their ideas to life. It does not matter whether it will be masterpieces written in pencils and gouache or cute crafts, or sculptures made of plasticine, one thing is important - there should be an exhibition place where the child will place his masterpieces and present them to relatives and his friends. Grandparents will appreciate this art, praise talent, and thereby fuel the desire in the child to create more and to improve themselves. Therefore, select a shelf or wall section where you can arrange such exhibitions and change exhibits yourself.
Work space requires increased attention
A workplace in a children's corner must grow and develop with its owner. While the baby is very small and only learns to paint the entire album sheet with the brush with its first timid movements, and at the same time everything that fell under the "maestro's magic brush" can be limited to a small table and chair.
As a child grows up, the workplace should also change. The main condition of the chair and table for work is that they should be suitable for their master in growth. How often, unfortunately, it happens that a child has grown up and does lessons by stooping to the "three deaths" at the same table at which he once learned to eat from a spoon. So that this does not happen in your family, carefully observe the landing of the baby. This is the case when you should not save money, but you should immediately change the furniture. The ideas of design decisions will be prompted by the photo of the children's corner below. With your own hands, arranging a workspace for a baby will not be difficult.
About sport - you are the world!
Many kids prefer to jump and play outdoor games instead of quiet hours of reading and drawing. And it’s good when a child can take a walk outside to get such energy, and there, after playing enough, he can do quieter activities at home. But, unfortunately, reality is not as rosy as we would like. And the child, unable to be active on the street, raises everything upside down in the apartment. To give an exit to the accumulated active energy, install a children's sports corner.
If you give preference to the wall type, such a device will not take up much space, but will give your child additional and necessary muscle load. Such corners in the standard solution have a ladder, rings and a rope. Be sure to purchase soft floor mats for your child’s safety. In the event of a fall, they will not allow the future athlete to be hurt badly. Below you can see a photo of the design of a children's corner in a sports version.
Tired sleep ...
A berth is also one of the most important points. A full sleep is necessary for the normal development of each child. The best would be to purchase a special children's zone. It can immediately include a bed and a table, and there is even a place for drawers and bookshelves. All this is included in a single composition and has a harmonious color scheme. Such a children's corner, no doubt, would like to have any child. Most often, models offer the upper tier of the module for sleep, and the lower floor is designed for work. Although there is an option "podium", under which is a pull-out bed. On the podium there is a working area with a table.
Where do the arms grow from?
If there is no opportunity to buy a finished construction yet, you need to do the design of a children's corner with your own hands. Dad, whose hands grow from where it should be, will certainly create an excellent corner for his beloved child. Almost everyone will be able to build shelves of various sizes. Home-made shelving shelves can be used to isolate a children's corner from prying eyes, which will give the child confidence that his possessions are the most comfortable and safe. Instead of a bed, you can put a folding armchair or sofa, which will allow its owner to enjoy a vacation at any time.
Corner children's for the boy
Equipping a place for a boy, many prefer a sleeping place in the form of various cars or ships. Boys and a bunk bed are loved, climbed by stairs, and you can roll using a decorative slide. Such models, of course, are good, but if your finances sing that they can’t help you in three to five years, change this “baby” design option to another, then it’s better to think about this point in advance. After all, after a few years you won’t have time to look back, and the boy grew up, and the machine in the form of a bed began to look a little out of place.
Therefore, it will be more economical to purchase a bed of a more neutral design. In the meantime, the child gravitates to all kinds of cartoon characters, you can decorate the corner with a sticker depicting his beloved character. Also, while the baby is small and often plays with cars on the floor, buy him in this case a soft carpet with ready-made roads painted on it and the like decorations. And the child is warm, and you are calm when he is lying on the floor.
For a young lady
A children's corner for a girl does not have to be decorated in caramel pink and orange shades, but definitely - a girl’s corner should have a delicate color. The bed can be made with a soft headboard in the form of a cute heart, usually little girls like this design. A sleeping place, hidden in the bowels of a transparent canopy, will make the little lady feel like a fairy princess.
Many girls want to be princesses, so let this be your favorite baby. Stickers with images of fairies and other fairy beauties are quite suitable for design. You can block the princess zone with decorative curtains made of beads and other small and cute elements. It is here, in the corner of a little girl, that there is a place for all kinds of ruffles and bows, but watch how your princess grows, you may think that she is still a baby, and the girl will need to change the atmosphere of her place for something more adult.
At any age, a lady should have her own corner for beauty. A small dressing table with a mirror can be installed already at a fairly tender age. The girl will store in her her children's cosmetics and all kinds of children's jewelry, which is now in great diversity in any aspiring young beautiful young lady. The dressing table, like the desk, must "grow" over time into a more adult version.
Kids grow up very fast
Children grow up, and their interests often change. Do not forget that your child’s corner will also change. In time, make sure to remove toys, drawings and crafts that have become irrelevant. Put the most memorable of them and your beloved ones in order and save until the time when your kids become adults.
Avoid these mistakes when decorating a children's corner
- Lighting in the children's area, choose only warm colors. These shades will not cause concern. Warm shades of light - this is comfort and tranquility for your child.
- Do not collect in one heap all the colors that make up the rainbow spectrum! One of the most unforgivable mistakes is when adults think that the nursery should look defiantly bright, supposedly so much more fun for the child. Dear parents, remember that children are also people. Could you be around the clock in a colorful nightmare of inappropriate shades? So the child with this color scheme will not be able to concentrate in his corner.
- The bed located at the window is a direct direction to the country of "persistent colds" (at least). A window is a place of frequent drafts, step back at least a meter from it and then put a berth.
- Carpeting is not for children. Yes, it is soft, warm, it is convenient to clean it with a vacuum cleaner, but if the baby accidentally spills something on him, you will have to dry this coating. Most likely, the stain will remain, but this is not the best decorative element for the corner of the child.
- Electrical wires and switches with sockets must be out of the reach of the child!
- Refuse glass decorative elements in the design of the corner.
- A window is a zone of not only light but also danger. Install a window that has the "baby lock" function. Check if there is "micro-ventilation" in your window - this is important for the safety of the child and the arrival of a fresh portion of oxygen into the room.
Now you will understand how to arrange a children's corner so as not to harm the child.
