The choice of furniture in the nursery for two children
A children's room is more than just a place for a child to relax and play. Here he grows and develops. In his personal space, the baby is formed emotionally. And furniture plays an important role in this development. What to look for when choosing furniture for a children's room?
Features of furniture for the nursery
What to take into account when planning the interior of the nursery? First of all, the age of the child. This factor will determine how long, for example, a play area will be in operation. The gender of the child will indicate the peculiarities of colors and texture. Finally, if the nursery is not intended for just one toddler, it is important to consider the location of sleeping, play areas, and learning spaces.
It is imperative to arrange in a teenager's room: a bed, a table, a chair, a wardrobe and a chest of drawers for linen. If possible, this list is supplemented by an armchair for a cozy pastime, shelves for installing music or a place for hobbies. But this already depends on the area of the nursery and on the budget.
Important! Remember that the children's room must, first of all, be safe, so it is important to eliminate the risk of injury from sharp or rough surfaces. Also, parents should be sure of the quality of interior items. Therefore, ideally, it is better to choose furniture for the nursery from natural wood. By the way, the hardware also deserves close research by the parents - there should be no sharp and too protruding parts.
Brands that care about their reputation will readily provide you with all the necessary documents and certificates confirming the quality and safety of products.
If you choose furniture for a preschooler's room, then an important requirement is ergonomics, that is, compliance with age, height and level of development. The table or bed should not be too high, or, conversely, low, because in such a space the child will be uncomfortable. Soft elements of sofas and armchairs should not crumble or crumble, as this can lead to the development of allergies in the baby.
Varieties
To date, a sufficient assortment of all kinds of furniture is offered. And you, for sure, will be able to make the right choice, taking into account the characteristics of your child.
Modular
A variety of modular systems allow you to combine several items in one. And this is the best furniture option for a nursery for two children. For example, a wardrobe can be located above the bed, and convenient drawers for storing bedding and other necessary things under the berth.And this is very convenient, since not every modern layout allows you to place individual interior items in a children's room.
The main advantages of modular headsets are:
- Possibility of the most rational use of the nursery space;
- Functionality;
- Possibility of self-selection of kit elements;
- Modern, varied design.
The only drawback is the inability to place each component of the module separately. The complete set of modular nurseries contains various elements that perfectly complement each other in color, style and size. Therefore, it is possible to choose the most suitable option for any age and gender.
The main set includes a sleeping place, a wardrobe and a study table. If desired, the original set can be supplemented with shelves for books, a ladder and convenient drawers for storing the necessary things.
Hull
This kind of furniture sets is a rigid structure (body). The main requirement is compliance with the age and height of your "owner". As a rule, such headsets are equipped with special mechanisms that allow you to adjust the height of interior items. Thanks to this feature, the furniture will serve your child longer.
The main advantage of box headsets in comparison with modular ones is the possibility of rearrangement. And this means that in the event of a move or when rearranging in the nursery, you simply change the location of the individual elements.
Well, speaking about the shortcomings of such kits, first of all, attention is paid to the bulkiness and low functionality. Therefore, if the nursery is intended for two children, then this option is not the most suitable one.
Playroom
This room design will allow the child to imagine himself in different ways. After all, childhood is a time of discovery, a time of knowing yourself and the world around you. Playful interior design helps develop creative out-of-the-box thinking and even experiment with different professions.
What could be part of such an interior? Much depends on who exactly the nursery is being designed for: for a boy or for a girl:
- Dressing table with a comfortable mirror (just like in adults, but only for little fashionistas);
- Swedish wall and a pair of exercise equipment for lovers of a sports lifestyle;
- Plastic slide for very little ones;
- A doll house with everything you need;
- Counter, cash register, goods and everything else for the game of the seller;
- Railway;
- Rally track and the like.
Of course, all of the above are just options. Each family is guided by the preferences and interests of their child.
Soft
The easiest way to make the nursery cozy is to "fill" it with upholstered furniture. Children's interior items look especially touching and pleasant. An atmosphere is immediately created that is conducive to relaxation, helping to relax after studies or numerous circles and sections.
Most often, to create a "soft interior" a sofa, armchair or pouf is purchased in the nursery. In order not to overload the nursery space with unnecessary items, designers are advised to choose one thing. It is better if the upholstery is made of natural fabric, and the frame is made of solid wood or high-quality MDF. As a filler, give preference to polyurethane foam, which is distinguished by its high density and will serve you for a long time without "squeezing". It is better if the furniture is multifunctional, for example, an armchair-bed. This will save space.
Thematic
This separate category of interiors assumes professional design and additional financial investments, since each item must be designed in a strictly defined style. Usually, for this design, cabinet or modular headsets made in a certain style are used.
The most common thematic solutions are:
- Marine theme;
- Cartoon princesses;
- Automotive topics;
- Animal world.
We note right away that the thematic interior also presupposes the appropriate “thematic” renovation, that is, the decoration of the walls and the ceiling, and in some cases the decoration of the windows should create an overall picture with pieces of furniture.
Furniture for two children
Arranging furniture in a nursery for two children is not an easy task. First of all, because typical apartments do not differ in a sufficient number of square meters, which means that you have to save space in a variety of ways.
A place to sleep. Possible options: a bunk bed, a double sofa bed or two separate beds. The most popular option from the above is a two-tier bed.
The next point is a place to store things. As a rule, one cabinet is enough, the main thing is that, in addition to the bar, there are shelves and drawers in it. It can be a wardrobe, a corner model or a standard wardrobe.
The table and chairs are already a working area. The design of this space depends on the "capabilities" of the room. In other words, of course, it's not bad if each child has their own place to study, but if this is not possible, you will have to share one for two. In addition, it is important to plan the hobby area.
If there are several children in the family and it is not possible to allocate a separate room for each, then the theme for decorating the nursery is chosen as neutral as possible. It is also important to be careful about the color scheme. It's no secret that the colors that surround us seriously affect the perception of the world. This is especially true for children. Avoid gloomy and dull colors and poor lighting. During adolescence, these factors can lead to the development of depression in a child.
But here, too, there are some nuances.For example, a seating area should be decorated in calmer colors so that nothing interferes with your child's proper sleep. The work area should be enhanced with bright colors to encourage vigorous activity. Important: make sure that there are no unnecessary elements in the work area that could distract the child's attention from classes.
Any area in a children's room, be it a playroom, work or recreation area, should have its own accents. The main thing is that these accents are kept in the same style, then the room will be distinguished by coziness and harmony.
The furniture set in the nursery can be dark, but then take care of the light finishing of the walls and ceiling, as well as decorative elements of life-affirming colors.
Obviously, you cannot approach the design of a child's room lightly, or furnish it with interior items that are no longer useful in the hall or in the parent's bedroom. A children's room - no matter how many children it is intended for - is a place for the development and formation of a personality.
