The children’s rooms in catalogs and brochures are always nicely furnished, look tidy and exude a lot of charm. But in reality, children’s rooms often seem thrown together. Here we have the best tips on how parents can bring style, comfort and order into the children’s room.
Designing Children’s Rooms: Tips For A Pretty Oasis Of Well-Being
Define The Function Of The Room
Before placing furniture in the children’s room, you should be clear about the functions of the children’s room. Do you want the child to mainly play in his room or do you want your child to free up a corner in the living room? Should the offspring have the opportunity to draw on a small table or on a roll of paper on the wall? Does it need a seating area where the child can look at a book in peace and quiet? Put that wish list on paper. Later, priorities are assigned to the individual keywords, which provide orientation when setting up and dividing the budget. Also check whether existing furniture can withstand these functional requirements.
Central Theme In The Setup
A clear “red thread” should be recognizable in the furnishings so that the baby room or children’s room becomes a visual unit. This can be achieved by buying the furniture all from the same series or if a color is reflected in small details. In addition, the color of the decoration should match the overall concept. Too many different styles and many large-scale decorative elements in different colors quickly appear wild and chaotic.
Furniture And Their Arrangement
Furniture that can be adapted to the growth of the child is useful. A bed, for example, that can be converted from a baby bed to a children’s bed. Play or work tables and chairs should be height-adjustable and ergonomically designed so that the child sits correctly. Changing tables can later be used as a normal chest of drawers. They should be of a certain height so that you can stand upright while changing.
Create Mood With Colors
Bring color into the room! A colored wall has a great influence on the spatial effect. Calm colors in pastel shades are well suited for the children’s room and the wall design. Use the colors wisely: Furnishing professionals usually work with four colors per room. The floor forms one color, white walls already form a second. If you paint a wall with a bright color, this wall color forms the so-called accompanying color. The fourth and last color are the color accents. In a child’s room, the colorful toys and cuddly toys usually create these refreshing splashes of color.
The Right Lighting
In addition to the furnishings, light is an important feel-good factor in a room. In the children’s room, make sure that the light is not too bright or too dark. One problem is often that the lamp connection is in the middle of the room in many Swiss apartments. But there is often nothing there, so the light source is in the wrong place. This is unfavorable, especially if the child is to do its homework in the room. Because no matter how you position the desk, the child always creates its own shadow.
