How to choose furniture for a children's room?

It is obvious that the children's room for the newbornand a room for a junior schoolboy, differ as the sky and the earth. So the newborn needs, above all, a crib, as well as a small chest of drawers or a wardrobe, changing table. The grown up kid already needs a table, behind which you can draw and sculpt from plasticine, and later - engage in lessons. There is a need for a bookcase or several shelves for books, in toy boxes.

All furniture for the children's room should be made of environmentally friendly materials. Particular attention should be paid to lacquersand paints, which cover the furniture. They should not contain toxic and harmful substances for the child. To give preference to furniture from solid wood, but since such furniture is quite expensive, it is acceptable to use in children's furniture and MDF.

On all furniture It is necessary to demand from the seller a hygienic certificate, especially for furniture made of particle board. In addition, you can not put furniture in the child's room, if one of the materials from which the furniture is made, the baby has an allergy.

Upholstery of furniture should easily be cleansed, let in air, do not slip, do not cause allergies. It is also better that the upholstery fabric does not support combustion - for maximum protection against fire.

Although it is believed that children love bright colors, but the coloring of furniture does not have to be "tear out". Pastel shades, for example, pale pink, light green or blue, are pleasing to the eye and visually make the room more spacious, lighter.

Availability of free space in the room is very important for the child. The kid should have a place for games, entertainment. Therefore, furniture for the nursery should not be cumbersome, it should not be very much. Enough if in the children's room will be only functionally necessary pieces of furniture.

Furniture for the children's room is desirable to choose without sharp angles. After all, children are so restless, so it is important that even if the kid ran into the bed or closet on the run, he did not get hurt.

All children's furniture should be suitable for a child. It should be convenient for him to get his ownthings or toys from cabinet drawers or tables. The table and chair for the child should maximize the development of good posture. Therefore, it is impossible that these pieces of furniture are too high or too low for the child. The chair can be chosen with a leg adjustable in height. The legs of the child sitting on a chair should not "hang out" in the air, otherwise he will try to adopt a more comfortable pose, one of those that are very harmful to the immature pediatric spine.

Not always size of the children's room allow you to place in it "high-grade" furniture. Then the modular furniture or furniture-transformer will come to the rescue. For example, a complex of a bunk bed, the first "floor" which serves as a working place or place for games, and the second - a sleeping place, and a wardrobe occupies only 3-4 square meters.
