Childhood is a fabulous and magical time. The child is a visionary and a dreamer. The task of parents is to create an atmosphere of love and attention around the baby, to help him develop. That is why the design of a children's bedroom is very important in the development of its little owner. The children's room should become a corner of a special world, where it is calm, comfortable, reliable and interesting.
What should be the interior of the children's bedroom
The design of the bedroom for the child should be soft, peaceful Psychologists believe that the children's room should leave the child room for self-expression.
The interior of the bedroom is directly related to the gender of the child. Children's bedrooms for girls are more like a room in a fairytale castle, where a young princess can grow up in pink dreams. Children's bedrooms for boys are a place where warriors and travelers rest after their next exploits.
The interior of a bedroom for a child must meet several basic requirements:
- All materials and furniture must be completely safe and made from environmentally friendly materials.
- The whole environment should be multifunctional and resemble the child's age.
- The interior of the children's bedroom should take into account the preferences and interests of the owner. The main thing is that the child should be comfortable using all things and objects.
Boy's bedroom
Children's bedrooms for boys tend to be minimalist. The bed does not occupy the main place in it. First of all, there should be space for weapons, cars, sets of designers and sports equipment. In a room that combines a playroom and a bedroom, you need a wall bars, a darts target or a basketball hoop. All these items will help direct excessive activity and energy in a useful direction.
Do not load the boy's room with "adult" things. You need to listen to his wishes. If a child likes a marine theme, a world map, a steering wheel, curtains in the form of sails, a rope may appear in the bedroom. Car accessories are suitable for a young racer: a bed in the shape of a car, chrome details in stylized furniture, a picture of the track on the wall.
For your information! For a boyish bedroom, all shades of blue and beige, green and brown are suitable.
A room for two boys can be divided into zones with different themes. In order to save space, you can use built-in wardrobes. Most kids will love bunk bed, it is possible that the boys will argue over who should sleep on the top "floor". If each child should have an individual place to sleep, then it is better to make a play area for two.
Bedroom for a girl
It's hard to find a girl who doesn't want to be a princess. Parents may well make this dream a reality.
In the bedchamber of a young beauty, a bed with a canopy or a lace curtain must certainly appear, glamorous dressing table with mirror and wardrobe for numerous outfits.

A great idea for a girl's bedroom is to use soft pastel shades.
If the room is not only a bedroom, but also a place for study and games, it is necessary to allocate the appropriate zones. It is better to put the desk in a bright place near the window, and place the bed at the far end of the room, where the sun's rays will not wake the princess ahead of time. V large room bedrooms can be separated by an openwork screen.
Bedroom for children of different sexes
If there are two children in the family, and there is only one bedroom, you need to carefully approach the issue of delimiting zones and the color design of the space. A room for two should correspond to the interests and age characteristics of children.
It will be necessary to conditionally distinguish the premises into a male and female zone. In order not to create a sharp contrast, it is better to choose a neutral color scheme- beige or light green. Multifunctional furniture will help divide the space.

A sofa bed or chair bed will organically fit into the interior of a children's bedroom, especially if it is a conata for two. This furniture does not take up much space and meets the requirements of multifunctionality.
Textiles from the children's room
The issue of purchasing textiles, as well as furniture, must be approached very responsibly.
The color of textiles is an important accent in the interior. The easiest option is neutral, pastel shades. A calm range will help create an atmosphere of rest and relaxation in the bedroom. If the room is also a play area, it is appropriate to use bright accents, but in moderation. Child psychologists believe that excessive bright colours and contrasting combinations can adversely affect a fragile psyche.

Conclusion

It requires a balanced approach, taking into account the psychological characteristics of children, their interests, safety and hygiene requirements. The environment plays an important role in the development of personality little man, so it is important to create it with love and full responsibility.
When a child appears in a young family, everything in the life of the spouses changes. Moreover, the changes concern not only free time and the behavior of the spouses, but also the organization of space in the house. Now parents need to think about living together in an apartment with a small child, to purchase the necessary furniture, clothes, toys and other things the baby needs. And if it’s too early to allocate a separate room for a child’s room, then the baby needs a table in the kitchen and a corner in the parent’s bedroom right now. A rare mother will agree that a child should sleep in a separate room from birth. Therefore, much attention is always paid to the question of what should be the interior of a bedroom with a crib, so that both adults and the baby can comfortably coexist in the room.
An adult bedroom and a nursery in the same room should be organized so that each of the family members can rest and relax in this room, but at the same time not lose sight of the newborn.
Below we will consider how to think over the design of a bedroom with a crib, what to provide and purchase for a rational organization children's space in the parents' bedroom.
Before you buy a cradle, chest of drawers, changing table and other necessary pieces of furniture for your baby, decide where exactly in the bedroom these things will be located. Take your baby to your corner in close proximity to the matrimonial bed. But there are a few things to keep in mind here:
- The child will not always be small, so the adult bedroom and the nursery in the same room is only a temporary phenomenon. Therefore, when starting a grand redevelopment, keep in mind that in the future you will have to change the interior again. Even if the apartment of a young family is very small or the birth of one or more children is planned in the future, someday you will no longer need a bedroom with a crib.
So that each time the repair does not take a lot of time, money and effort, think over the design of the bedroom with a crib in such a way that the space for adults, and not the children's area, is the determining factor in the interior. If the focus is on the bed for the newborn, in its absence, the interior will lose its integrity.
- Even if it is planned that later the bedroom and the nursery will be combined in one room (although this is a rarity), the nursery for a grown-up baby is a completely different space than the corner of a newborn. child after 2-3 years we need more space for outdoor games, a place for developing activities, we need another sleeping place and its own storage system in the form of chests of drawers and lockers.
If the bedroom is combined with a children's room, it is necessary to consider zoning techniques to distinguish between children's and adult zones. Therefore, when installing a crib for a newborn, keep in mind that after a while it will not be needed. Prepare in advance for future changes so that later you do not have to completely redo the entire room in a hurry.
Spouses bedroom organization
The design of the bedroom with a baby crib suggests that the main place in the room is reserved for the matrimonial bed. Only after a place has been chosen for this central element of the interior, a bed for a newborn and a place for it are chosen.
Measure the parameters of the room, and then choose the matrimonial bed. The cradles are small enough (120 cm x 60 cm or 140 cm x 70 cm) to leave space in the corner of the room or in any free space. To ensure that nothing disturbs the comfort of adult family members in the bedroom, it is important to leave a passage to both sides of the bed. It is desirable that about 60-70 cm of free space remain on each side of the bed.
The bed for spouses can be located in different ways, but the best option is the location of its head against one of the walls in the middle of the room. If the bedroom is too narrow, the bed can also be placed along the room, however, it will only be accessible from one side.
Think about it, maybe it makes sense to put the bed diagonally. Also decide what other furniture adults need in this room: a chest of drawers for bed linen, wardrobe, bedside tables, dressing table or something else.
think over different variants, draw a floor plan of the room and "move" the furniture to achieve the optimal solution. For example, a similar arrangement of the crib in matrimonial bedroom like below photo, very convenient at night for co-sleeping with a baby, but can create a lot of difficulties during the day.
If in the future it is planned to combine an adult bedroom with a children's room, prepare a place for a partition or screen, leave space for the baby to study, consider creating a warm floor in the children's area, etc. It is better to think over every little thing in advance.
Newborn corner in the bedroom
After choosing a place for the matrimonial bed, you can start decorating the area for the newborn. Naturally, it is impossible to put a crib at the door, where there may be drafts, or at the window, where temperature changes are possible due to the proximity of the cold from the street and the heat from the battery. The combination "newborn's corner" is very common, which determines the best location of the crib in the corner of the room. Seeing real boundaries on the one hand and mother on the other, the baby feels more secure.
There should be no things near the crib that the child can get or that can fall during his sleep. All cabinets and cabinets in the room should not touch the cradle with the doors, disturbing the baby every time you open it. Shelves and hanging structures above the baby's cradle should also not be hung. A small child from the crib should not see either the TV or the monitor screen, if they are in the room.
If the adult bedroom with a large crib, you can plan to install the bed not in the corner, but in the center of the room, along a long wall or some space from adult bed. Important points at the same time, there are the opportunity to approach the baby from several sides, the safety of a small child and a comfortable location for both spouses.
Limited living space is a major problem for many families. Living in a small apartment does not make it possible to separate the nursery from the parents' bedroom, which is why there is a need for a competent one. To solve this problem, it is necessary to think over in advance the future design of the room, based on the correct zoning of the space.
Room zoning
Proper zoning will help to divide the space into a nursery and a bedroom, for which you can use the following elements:
- decorative designs;
- partitions;
- fabric curtains;
- arches;
- screens;
- cabinet furniture.
An effective division of one room into two can be done using a multi-level ceiling or a central podium. In, combined in one room with a nursery, light fabrics and translucent structures should prevail. Separating the bedroom from the children's room with thick curtains or a partition will allow you to equip independent lighting for the nursery. Examples of the correct zoning of the parent bedroom can be seen in the photo.
Where to begin?
Before you start developing a design for one room that serves as both the parent bedroom and the nursery, you should consider the location of the door and window openings. It is necessary to provide sufficient illumination and ventilation of the room. In order to increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, the heating system should be reorganized. It is possible to carry out heating by organizing skirting heating or arranging a “warm floor” system. For decoration it is also necessary to use energy-saving materials.
Reorganizing one room into two is not an easy task. Special attention should be given to the arrangement of the nursery, its space should not be limited, it is unacceptable to litter both the parental bedroom and the child’s room with unnecessary, overall and non-functional things, since such a design, which is appropriate for big room, is categorically unacceptable for two separate zones.
How to properly equip one room, divided into two independent zones?
You can divide one room into two independent zones using tricks such as different lighting and decoration, transforming space with draperies and screens, multi-level ceilings and floors, etc.
You can increase the space of a bedroom combined with a nursery if you replace traditional wardrobes with wardrobes or corner structures, choose a bed with built-in mezzanines, replace heavy ones with lighter and more modern blinds.
The use of modular furniture will make it easy to transform the space and create comfortable conditions not only for the baby, but also for the parents.
Color spectrum
The design of the room should be done with a predominance of soothing pastel colors. For each zone, you can use your own color scheme, as long as it harmoniously interacts with the tone of the adjacent zone. Preference should be given to peach, beige, pistachio. Blue, lavender, light pink and lemon yellow.
Advice: you can revive the interior with the help of photo wallpapers, posters, paintings or collages from family photos.
Features of combining different zones in a one-room apartment
It is most difficult to create a single harmonious space in one-room apartment, since the only room should combine the functions of not only a nursery and a bedroom, but also a living room. The best solution is to place the parent bedroom on the podium, and next to it is necessary to organize a recreation area for the child. The remaining space should be multifunctional and easily transformed into a play area, as well as a recreation or reception area.
It should be noted that in the area of \u200b\u200bthe children's room there should not be objects such as a TV or computer, as they have negative impact on the child's body.

By creating children's Corner in the parent's bedroom, you should come to terms with the idea that the main priority will now be directed to creating a comfortable environment for the child. Only after the baby is fully provided with the necessary comfort, parents will be able to get their share of relative peace.
The ideal option, no doubt, is the zoning of the space of the room, in which the bedroom is combined with the nursery with dense, light-blocking partitions. But while the child is still very small, you can consider the arrangement of the canopy over the baby's bed.
There is a certain similarity between the nursery and the bedroom, but not every artist can do a beautiful, and even more original combination of these two spaces.
Therefore, the golden rule of interior design is not the accumulation of excess furniture in space, but the maximum disposal of it. It's just inconvenient to move around a crowded room,
says the designer of the Moscow Interior Studio GRASiO, architect Natalya Kazakova.
There are rules that should be followed when creating a design project for a combined bedroom for parents and a corner for a small child:
- The minimum amount of furniture must be arranged in such a way as to create the feeling of two spaces isolated from each other.
- The use of heavy velvet or tapestry curtains and pelmets in the room is not desirable.
- As accents in the zonal space of the baby, toys, children's pictures, wallpapers with an animated image are used.
With the help of well-placed lighting, you can get great results. functional areas. In the spacious room of the bedroom, you can install a multi-level ceiling, equipping it spotlights above the area of the parent bed. Near the crib, sconces and nightlights will be appropriate. The use of table lamps and floor lamps in the interior will create a feeling of comfort.
Bedroom interior with baby bed
Interior of a bedroom with a crib - photo The rationalization of the use of space is facilitated by built-in furniture with extensive functionality. Often a bedroom with a crib is equipped with a podium, within the boundaries of which the nursery is inscribed.
As an alternative to curtains, Austrian or Roman curtains are used, which create the illusion of spaciousness in the room. In addition, the roll mechanism allows more penetration into the room. sunlight than ordinary curtains.
The interior design of a bedroom with a crib is thought out with great care. All used Decoration Materials should be natural and environmentally friendly. As a rule, the bedroom is covered with non-woven wallpaper in neutral or soothing colors.
A detailed video - one of the few videos on how to correctly combine the parent's bedroom with a child's place, perfectly displays the methods of zoning the space, in which the area for the child and the area for the parents' bed are clearly marked:
The benefits of this combination
The natural desire of a mother Small child was under her control as much as possible, both in the waking and sleeping periods, with good reason. Therefore, the crib located in the bedroom has a well-argued, grounded ground, fastened with irrefutable facts, consisting in feeding, changing diapers and the nightly awakening of a beloved offspring.
An exceptional option is an apartment consisting of only one room. Here you have a living room, and a hall, and a bedroom, and an office, and now also a nursery. All in one bottle. Of course, it’s not bad when everything is “at hand”. But such a territory needs a competent delineation of space. With a quality arrangement of life, the baby grows up calmly, and the parents lead a habitually measured lifestyle.
Main disadvantages
Combining space without going beyond the same room is a rather complicated matter. Naturally, a standing crib in the parents' bedroom is not a rare phenomenon, but the child should have, if not his own room, then his own "corner" where he can express his individuality.
Unfortunately, housing conditions do not allow many to allocate a separate territory to their heir. Nevertheless, it is still necessary for a child to allocate a modest space, even at the expense of partially liquidated furniture. A small apartments excess furniture is generally contraindicated.
Choosing a color scheme
Parents' bedroom with a crib - photo The most acceptable and soothing tones for the visual perception of the baby are delicate shades of pastels. Good for a small child a large number of white color in the interior. But as the child grows up, other taste preferences may appear.
Be aware that the facades of furniture installed in children's furniture should be a tone or a half darker than the walls, floor and ceiling.
Special attention should be paid to the floors not only in the area of children's stay, but also in the entire sleeping area. Designers recommend laying electric underfloor heating. WITH warm floors the baby will not be threatened with colds from drafts and frozen feet. Warm floors have to create comfort in the room. As a rule, the working layer of the underfloor heating system is covered with a light-colored laminate.
Acceptable style of the future room
Bedroom design with a crib - photo When compiling a design project for a bedroom combined with a nursery, one cannot help but take care of determining the space for the baby. And if a separate room is not provided for the child in the apartment, it is necessary to initially determine the nursery area, on the territory of which a small family member will eventually begin to crawl, play, and, possibly, go to school and do homework.
The modern style is minimalism. With a limited amount of modular furniture that easily transforms as the child grows. Built-in multifunctional cabinets with drawers and folding panels successfully replace some elements of furniture paraphernalia - a desk and a table for a computer. At the same time, it is desirable to adhere to the chosen style in the design of the entire living space as a whole.
Furniture and accessories
In the baby's room, only a few pieces of furniture are needed - a crib, a chest of drawers with large quantity stored clothes, and a changing table. Since diapers have long sunk into the historical past, you can refuse the table.
A baby cot is installed in the parent's bedroom according to special rules that contain certain kinds of restrictions. The bed is not installed:
- near heating systems or central heating radiators, since overheating, like hypothermia, is dangerous for the baby;
- next to a computer or TV;
- under rosettes, paintings, wall hangings and decorative elements hung on the walls.
In the bedroom where the baby's crib is located, it is generally advisable to abandon wall carpets, books and abundance. soft toys. These are the so-called "dust collectors" that can cause allergic reactions at the baby.
The optimal placement of a crib is considered to be the corner of the room, devoid of drafts or against the head of the parent bed. This arrangement allows you to constantly keep the baby in sight.
Often the crib is placed close to the bed of the parents. The removed side wall provides the mother with regular control over the baby and feed him without getting out of bed. The only inconvenience can be considered a difficult change of bed linen, since access to one side of the marital bed is limited to a crib.
A one-room apartment in which a family with children lives can also become a comfortable space for everyone. The room, which will be both the parent's bedroom and the nursery, must be carefully planned and divided into zones. While the child is still very young, all he needs is a crib and a chest of drawers or a rack for educational toys and care products. A newborn's crib can stand right next to the parents' bed. But as the child grows, he needs more and more space and his territory.
Where is the children's area located?
The room should be divided into a child area and a parent area. Children should be placed closer to the window and further from the door. There are two reasons for this: parents go to bed later and get up earlier than the child, so the location of the child's bed in a more peaceful and quiet area of the room is quite logical. And the proximity of the window is important because the child needs to study desk with daylight, when for parents the bedroom can only be a place of rest.
An interesting option for the location of the children's area is the second tier. Only suitable for apartments with very high ceilings. To do this, a platform with a children's bed and a place for games is mounted under the ceiling. Take care of safety - install a fence so that it is impossible to fall from above.
How to zone a room?
The territory of the child must be visually separated from the adult. In the first three years of life, such a delimiter can be a rug by the crib and a cute decor above it, or a light curtain. After three years, it is better to zone the nursery with more serious methods.
The most solid border can be built from drywall. You will get two separate rooms, only with an arch instead of a door. If you're willing to sacrifice almost all of the natural light in your adult bedroom, this might be the option for you. The partition can be made partial or with decorative holes, then zoning will look easier.
Very good way zoning - sliding partitions. So at night you can divide the room into two, and combine during the day. If the partition is made of frosted glass or glass blocks, you will also solve the problem of lighting.
Very functional partition - rack. This is both additional storage space, very valuable in small spaces, and a good zone separator.
Blackout curtains and lightweight screens that can be quickly removed to make the space more open and bright are a lightweight and mobile solution.
How to save space?
It is difficult to fit in one room a bed for two adults, a bed for a child (or even several children), a desk, a children's play area and ample storage space. What to do?
The simplest thing is to abandon a full-fledged double bed and replace it with a comfortable sofa. This will allow the bedroom to play the role of a living room during the day. You should not refuse a crib, because it does not take up so much space.
If a large bed is important for you, and there is very little space, then a crib can be installed above it as a second tier.
Directly for the children's area, a bed on the second tier will always be an excellent way to save space - you can place a desk or a play area below. A bed for a child or an adult, rising to the wall during the day or sliding under the podium, is an excellent alternative solution.
To save space, use a common wardrobe for an adult and a child. Use the entire height of the room, or even better, build a wardrobe into a niche - this way it will visually select less space. The closet in the podium is another good trick.
