How Do We Arrange the Child’s Room?

The child's room will have to perform several functions, being, in the end, the space in which he carries out several activities, sleeping here, playing, or working. To turn his room into a more creative place, you can use a few tricks.

When it comes to landscaping, children are certainly the most demanding clients a designer could have. They need a private space in which to make their mark. As they get older, they form a clearer idea of ​​what their room should look like and want a room that reveals their personality and fits their needs.

The child's room will have to perform several functions, being, in the end, the space in which he carries out several activities, sleeping here, playing, or working. To turn his room into a more creative place, you can use a few tricks.

The first step that the little ones will take in the wind is to decorate the walls. To get a welcoming space, choose warm colors that stimulate rest. In general, the white ceiling suggests height, so to create the feeling of intimacy, opt for shades of blue and paint stars or clouds on the ceiling. The child's favorite drawings can be played on the walls, but be careful not to load the camera.

Decorative stickers are an alternative that requires very little time and when your child grows up and wants to change them, you can easily remove them, without leaving traces. If you prefer bright colors, apply wallpaper or paint only one wall in that color and turn it into a focal point.

The organization of the space is extremely important, each activity that the little one carries out must have its area allocated. If you have more space, in a corner of the room, place a table with chairs, where it can be played or drawn, and when it grows, a sunbed and a cube coffee table or in an avant-garde shape can replace them.

As it is the room where you relax, some stools, fluff, a balloon armchair, or large pillows with funny prints will make the room much more comfortable. Decorative pillows with different designs are another element that contributes to obtaining an intimate and welcoming room.

The room will certainly be full of toys, so storage plays an important role. At the end of the bed, place a chest in which toys or pillows can be stored, and large boxes and baskets will handle piles of toys. On one wall, you can place several shelves, forming a tree or a spiral, on which he can place his books or personal belongings.

Long curtains and drapes can be uncomfortable for children, so choose blinds with floral or geometric motifs. Lighting is also essential. Place lighting fixtures in the area where you work or play, opting for some lamps with a cheerful lampshade, to your child's liking, and in terms of flooring, opt for a fluffy rug in bright colors.

Children tend to throw their clothes all over the room; an effective solution is to choose a wall hanger in avant-garde shapes, which reproduce various elements.

Last but not least, on a wall, you can arrange a corkboard, on which your son or daughter can stick his favorite photos. Regardless of your child's age, his room should be a suitable, playful space, suitable for his needs, which is why it is very important to consult with him beforehand.

Safety rules in the children's room, depending on age

Safety is an essential aspect when arranging a children's room, one that requires different approaches depending on the age of the small tenants and increased attention. You need to examine every element of the room, whether it is furniture, toys, or bedding.

We have prepared a list of safety rules to keep in mind and the precautions to take when arranging the room of a baby, a small child, a preschooler, and a schoolboy.

Safety rules in the baby's room (0–1 years)

You did the baby-proofing of the house and you eliminated all the sources of risk before the baby was born.

The wood from which the crib is made must be well sanded, without rough areas or sharp edges. Also, screws and other hardware accessories should be securely fastened and their shape or location should not expose the baby to any risk.

If the crib is foldable, it must have a locking mechanism against accidental closing. If it has a canopy, it should not be decorated with bows.

The mattress must be firm, allow the skin to breathe, and fit perfectly in the bed: if two fingers fit between the mattress and the crib, then you must choose a larger one.

Never put extra toys or extra blankets in the baby's crib to avoid the risk of suffocation.

Safety rules in the small child's room (1–3 years)

When the child starts to walk around, any tablecloth, any sharp corner, any furniture not fixed to the wall, and any heavy or breakable decoration becomes a danger to the little one.

Anchors the chests of drawers, cabinets, dresser, bookcase, any furniture that can be overturned, and the wall TV, using special anchors for fixing or side corners.

Make the floor more comfortable with soft and fluffy children's rugs that don't scratch. Put non-slip foils under carpets, even if the parquet or linoleum is more forgiving surfaces than ceramic tiles.

Secure the door and window with special locking systems.

Safety rules in the preschool room (3–6 years)

At this age, the child becomes the owner of an impressive collection of toys, and in his room and, in fact, in the whole house, all kinds of boxes full of cubes, stuffed animals, dolls, trucks, and construction sets begin to appear.

You have a lot of options for storing toys, but in general, try to choose lightboxes, with rounded corners, without lid and hinges, made of textile materials, plastic, or well-polished wood.

Right now, the little boy is beginning to fear monsters, ghosts, and all sorts of frightening creatures, so a night light left on at night will help him calm down. Attention: in the little one's room, at least in the first years of life, you must choose children's lighting fixtures, made of PVC, metal, aluminum, and not some of the glass, which can break.

Safety rules in the student's room (6–12 years)

It's time to add a desk and a chair to the child's room. Even if she prefers to do her homework at the living room or kitchen table, the study furniture should not be chosen at random.

The children's office chair must have an adjustable height (both the height of the entire chair and the seat), be ergonomic, durable, rotating, have wheels for movement, and, of course, lumbar support.

The desk should have a slightly sloping surface (so that the little one does not feel the need to lean forward) or adjustable (so that it can be used for several years) and should be long enough for the little one to can move freely (about 120–130 cm).

The other pieces of furniture for children must also be chosen carefully. Only after the age of 6 can children sleep in bunk beds - never before, because they still can't coordinate their movements well.

The bunk bed must comply with safety standards, be accompanied by information about the manufacturer, model, materials, and have no ornaments.
