Features of the nursery

When creating an interior design for two children of different sexes, it is important to focus on their age, hobbies and hobbies, personal preferences in color and shape. Parents will have to make a lot of efforts to satisfy the needs of both brother and sister, without creating a conflict situation between the children. And this applies to all elements: from the color of the walls, to the shape and size of furniture and large-sized toys.

decoration of the children's room — When decorating a room, it is important to consider the preferences of both children.

It is important that parents are aware of the preferences of their children: what books they like, what they want to do in their free time, as well as their favorite cartoons. Thanks to this, it will be possible to choose a thematic design, or simply not be mistaken in the color scheme and supplement the space with the "correct" elements.

The color scheme of the room should be bright - after all, this is a children's room. At the same time, you need to take into account that color palettes for a boy and a girl are different and combine them correctly. In such rooms, deliberately "boyish" or "girly" colors are not chosen; preference is given to an option that will suit both.

Decoration Materials

When deciding on finishing materials, make a choice in favor of hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly. Ideal for floors - cork. Its peculiarity is that it "breathes", has high sound-insulating properties, retains heat well in the cold season and has a soft surface, in other words, it is not traumatic.

Often, parents choose the path of least resistance and cover the floor in the nursery with carpet. However, this is not the best solution. First of all, because among the villi, even very short ones, dust and dirt accumulate. It is not possible to perfectly clean such a coating. Over time, the child may even develop allergies.

Linoleum and laminate are also found quite often in the decoration of rooms for children. The main advantage of these materials is that they easily "support" almost any stylistic direction of design, without drawing attention to themselves.

Linoleum and laminate are quite often used for finishing the floor in the nursery.

If you are decorating a nursery for toddlers, then keep in mind the artistic predilections of most of them. Perhaps the right choice in this case is washable vinyl wallpaper. By the way, with their help it is easy to hide minor wall defects. Well, if you prefer classic design directions, then it is recommended to use wooden panels for wall decoration in the nursery.

A light palette is chosen for the ceiling - white or milky. If the ceilings are high, then it is best to make a tension structure. It can be a colored canvas, matte or glossy - it doesn't matter.Yes, and it is not necessary to make the ceiling plain. Try, for example, transferring a star map onto the ceiling. The result is not just spectacular, but also practical - children get acquainted with the location of the heavenly bodies.

light ceiling in the nursery — The ceiling is usually made light.

In general, decorating a children's room is a great opportunity to experiment and embody your bold ideas. Believe me, children will only be happy about it.

Zoning

In the process of decorating the interior of a nursery for children of different sexes, the moment of zoning is key. There are enough methods for dividing space.

The easiest to implement and affordable for financial investments is division by color or various textures in decoration.

The second most popular option is light. In this case, you will have to think in detail about the various degrees of lighting intensity for different zones: working, sleeping, places for your favorite activities. Each zone has its own light source. Spotlights in the floor, located along the "border" of various zones, or along the perimeter of a specific zone, look very impressive.

zoning nursery light — Each zone should have its own light source.

If the children's room is large, then you can use other options for dividing the space:

Partitions (the material from which they are made, as well as the shape and dimensions are selected based on your preferences).
Glass and plastic partitions are separated into a separate group. They can be sliding or stationary.
Semi-arches, arches and columns.
Curtains.
Shelving.
Indoor plants in tall pots (room design option for teenagers).
Aquarium (this "divider" can only be used for older children).

Depending on the style of the room and the preferences of children, various decorative moldings, borders, stucco moldings and the like are used as zone dividers.

Furniture arrangement

As noted above, before you start decorating a room, purchasing and arranging furniture, you need to correctly plan both the space and your own capabilities. In particular, for a comfortable stay in the room of a brother and sister of different ages, it is necessary to equip separate sleeping places, arrange a wardrobe (cupboards), shelves and drawers for the rational placement of clothes, school supplies, toys, and so on. If the age difference is not too noticeable, then a place for games can be organized one for two.

planning the space of the nursery — When planning the space, it is important to consider the age and hobbies of the children.

Important: it is better to soften the floor in the play area.

In the case when both children are schoolchildren, you will have to equip two workplaces, as well as take care of the presence of two computers, shelves for placing textbooks.

Sleeping area

Unfortunately, not every nursery has enough space to organize a full stay for two children. And if in some cases you have to sacrifice, for example, a play area, then in the case of a place to rest, there cannot be such a solution: each child must have his own bed (chair-bed, sofa, etc.). the more that the older the children become, the greater the need for personal (or at least separate) space will arise.

The best option is two separate beds, separated from each other by shelves, a screen or a partition.

beds separated by a wardrobe — It is best to separate the beds from each other with a wardrobe or partition.

Bed options:

Parallel along opposite walls.
Perpendicular.
At the corners: in one or opposite.

If the distance between the beds is small, a chest of drawers or a curbstone will "fit" between them. If sleeping places are located in one corner, then let the children sleep head to head.

You can put a bedside table between the beds.

For very small children, perhaps the only solution is a bunk bed. But even here it is not so simple.It is noted that often children cannot agree on who will sleep on the upper tier (it is traditionally more popular). And if this issue is not resolved in advance and as peacefully as possible, then it is better to refuse the two-tier option. Believe me, peaceful relations are much more important than the saved space.

bunk bed for children — A bunk bed can be the best solution in a small room.

Game Zone

This nursery area is especially important for children under the age of 7. Kids need somewhere to throw out their energy, run and jump, so the play area should be equipped as safely and comfortably as possible for an active pastime.

play area for children — First of all, the play area must be safe and comfortable.

The place for toys can be arranged as follows: for a girl - a doll house, and for a boy - a hut or a castle. If there are common interests, then it makes sense to make part of the play area common.

As children grow older, the soft flooring can be replaced with a regular one, as in the whole room (laminate, linoleum, parquet).

And one more important nuance: when finishing the floor in the nursery, do not forget about high-quality sound insulation, so that later there will be no problems with neighbors.

Well, since teenagers most often spend their free time chatting with friends - in real life or in virtual reality - it is better to equip the play area for them with the help of unusual poufs and tables.

Study area

The organization of this space will require additional planning and, possibly, financial investments. Ideally, each child should have their own workplace, and it is often not possible to put two desks in the room. How to be?

two tables in the nursery — The best option is for each child to have their own table.

When deciding what kind of furniture to install in the work area for two children of different sexes, parents often prefer a non-standard countertop (it can take up the entire wall). At the same time, it is important to think over the lighting system: the light should fall from the right side and be as close to natural as possible.

long table top for children — It is possible to install a long table top in the entire wall.

Well, since the educational process today is impossible without a computer, the ideal option would be to purchase two laptops or tablets, because a processor, monitor and other components of a regular computer, and even in duplicate, need a lot of space.

If the children are still small and do not do their homework, but at the same time they like to draw or sculpt, then to save space it is worth purchasing a transforming desk.

Storage system

Immediately, we note that the widespread opinion that supposedly girls have much more things than boys, which means that wardrobes for little princesses should be more roomy, does not find confirmation in real life. Both boys and girls have a sufficient "assortment" of obligatory accessories, so that the storage system will have to be thought out equally carefully.

wardrobes for children of different sexes — Children of both genders require the same amount of storage space.

Of course, if space is very limited, then you will have to get by with one cabinet, dividing it into two parts (conventionally, of course). If desired, the doors are signed with the names of the brother and sister, or thematically decorated. But ideally there should be two separate lockers. And it is better if they stand on the personal side of each child.

wardrobe for children of different sexes — If there is not enough space, you can get by with one wardrobe.

In addition to storing clothes, you need to think about the location of toys, books, hobbies and entertainment. If a teenager is collecting something, then it may be worth hanging open shelves for collections. Well, numerous little things will perfectly fit in large boxes or baskets, which will become part of the interior.

bed with storage — Things can also be stored in special compartments of the bed.

If the age difference is significant, then it may be necessary to organize hanging shelves, lockers, where an older child can store valuable and fragile things so that a younger brother or sister cannot reach. Let your teen have some secrets.

Creating a comfortable and functional interior of a children's room for two children of different sexes is not an easy task. However, competent planning, a large assortment of interior items and, most importantly, the desire to create favorable conditions for the development of children will help make even the wildest dreams come true.
