The layout of the nursery

The most common way of planning a multifunctional room is zoning. However, not all methods of zoningsuitable for a children's room. For example, the layout of a nursery, including fixed partitions, is not the best choice, because a child needs space for games, and partitions deprive him of this space.

So it is better to use for zoning a children's room difference in invoices and / or colors. Say, in a gaming or sleeping area on the flooryou can lay a carpet or carpet, and in the work area leave on the floor only a laminate. Or you can decorate the working (playing) zone in brighter colors, stimulating physical and mental activity (but not annoying at the same time), and sleeping - in calmer pastel shades.

It is also possible to divide a children's room into zones by means of a podium (for example, having raised a sleeping area above the floor), but podium should not be too highso that the child can not fall off him. Under the podium can be placed drawers for things or toys, it will save you space.

The layout of the nursery should take into account the fact that the child is growing. It is unlikely that you will have the opportunity, as the child grows up, to regularly re-plan his room and repair it, so many things should be taken into account beforehand.

Say, while the child is small, he hardly needs a TV, a computer and other appliances that work from electricity. However, in time they will necessarily appear. And this means that you need preliminarily provide outlet outlets. In the meantime, there is no need for sockets, it is necessary to close them with special plugs or block up the furniture so that the child does not have the temptation to stick fingers into them.

Also it is worth considering the choice of furniture. It is clear that it is impossible to buy furniture that will serve a child from a kindergarten to a graduate class, but it is not necessary to buy new furniture every year. You will be saved adjustable and modular furniture.

For example, as a desk, you can buy a desk-transformer, which will "grow" with the child. When buying such a desk, you should pay attention to ease of adjustment and reliability of fasteners. And thanks to modular furniture, which is easy enough to regroup, the layout of the nursery will be adjusted to the needs of a growing child.

It is advisable to buy multifunctional furniture, which will save space in the room. Say, a bench-chest, on which you can sit,but inside - to store toys. For reception of visitors it is good to put a sofa in the room so that they do not sit on the bed, but if the size of the room does not allow, you can do with floor cushions.

The layout of the nursery must also take into account the lighting. In the room there must be severallight sources. We need at least one source of top light (say, a chandelier), one light source near the desktop (table lamp) and night lights in the sleeping area (for example, sconces). Note that if the child is right handed, the light in the work area should fall on the left, if the left-hander is on the right.

Some parents equip the child's work areaopposite the window, making the desktop seem to be a continuation of the window sill. Note that if the room's windows face the west, the setting sun will shine the child right in the eyes just as he does the lessons. So that in the rooms overlooking the west side, such a layout of the nursery will be inappropriate.

What if there are two children in the room? In this case, the layout of the nursery will have its own characteristics. In such situations, a bunk bed helps save space, but this decision is only relevant if one of the children is old enough to sleep at the top. Each child should have his own workplace and his shelves (boxes, half of the cabinet) for storing things. It is also desirable that in the common room there are lightweight sliding screens, if one of the children wants privacy.

In general, the correct children's planning must take into account the two most important points: functionality and security, and when planning the interior of the children's room to push off it is necessary from them.
