Parents and child in one room layout. Children's room zoning: possible options

The nursery is at the same time a bedroom, living room and study. The designers of the President Mobility company will help you to zone the premises so that it meets your requirements for functionality. Children's room zoning is carried out by type of activity: for work, play, sleep and rest. It is not at all necessary that the room be large. Thoughtful design solutions will help to cope with the task in a standard interior.

Why zoning a children's room is necessary

• creating comfort- an ordered space creates the necessary conditions for sleep, study, physical activity and rest;
• increased discipline- a structured room teaches the child to order;
• arrangement of personal space- zoning is necessary if the nursery is divided by 2 children, especially if they are of different sexes.

Basic principles of zoning a children's room

• partitions and screens is a great way to radically separate large rooms. This technique clearly defines the border between the zones. When installing partitions, it is important that they do not impede the penetration of light into each area and do not obstruct the room;
• lighting - by combining several light sources, you can achieve functional zoning of a child's room. A place to sleep requires a dim light; green lighting is suitable here. But in areas for games and study, lamps and lamps should be bright;
• use of podiums- level zoning visually divides the room and helps to use even a limited space more efficiently. To emphasize such areas, it is recommended to combine different floor coverings such as carpet and laminate. One of the options for such zoning of a children's room is the use of bunk furniture, where the bed is located at the top, and a chest of drawers or a writing table below;
• dividing the room with wardrobes and shelving- this is very convenient, since 2 practical tasks are solved at once: zoning and organizing storage of things. The main thing is that they do not interfere with the child's movement around the room;
• use of curtains- fabric can be used to separate the girl's bed. Both light and transparent curtains are suitable, as well as heavy and dense curtains.

Features of the design of various zones in the children's room

• the working area is distinguished by a writing desk with a comfortable chair and bookshelves. It should be positioned so that the child, while studying, is not distracted by anything. It is important that the lighting is bright enough, and the surfaces are made of practical materials that can be easily washed from traces of a pen, paints and plasticine;
• enough space should be allocated for the play area, it is better if it is located in the center of the children's room. A rug should be placed on the floor for toddlers to play. It is good if there is room in the room for a small sports complex, especially if a boy settles here;
• area for sleeping and rest - here, of course, there is a bed. A table lamp or wall lamp is sufficient as a light source. For a good rest, it is important to unload this area from furniture and unnecessary accessories.

Not everyone has the opportunity to allocate a separate room for each child, and some have to combine in the same area a nursery, their own bedroom, and a living room. In such situations, the zoning of the children's room for a boy and a girl or for a child and parents helps to create normal conditions for all residents. For this, a variety of design techniques are used, which will be discussed in this article.

Visual zoning

This method, the essence of which is to highlight different functional parts of rooms only with color or decoration, is used for small rooms with one window, which are simply unrealistic to be broken up into even smaller ones by some structures. It is also suitable for rooms intended for one child or two or three children of the same sex and with a small age difference.

If you have one- or two-roomed flat, in which the parents are forced to share the living space with the child / children, then the zoning of the room into the child's and the adult's part becomes a difficult task (see).

But there are nuances here:

• When alone small room should play the role of a nursery and a living room, you can hardly think of something more reasonable than transforming multifunctional furniture. She will allow the child to have his own sleeping place, and a work area for classes, while taking up very little space and leaving more free space for games, family recreation.

• If it is necessary to share a bedroom with a child, it is convenient to zone it vertically, placing sleeping places one above the other. This will allow you to do without screens and partitions, which turn it into cramped and stuffy closets.

• A room designed for children of different sexes with excellent interests is usually divided visually into equal parts, each of which is decorated in accordance with the wishes and needs of the inhabitants. It could be wallpaper and bedding. different color, age-appropriate furniture, etc.

• When the age difference between children is large enough, not only their interests differ, but also the daily routine. In such cases, it is better for the schoolchild to give part of the room by the window, and the corner farthest from him to the child, so that the teenager can calmly do homework during the daytime sleep of a brother or sister. Moreover, his workplace can be equipped with high shelves or shelves above the table, and low dressers (see) and cabinets can be placed in the baby area.

It is important. Remember to create the right lighting for each area. In the zone of games and activities, it should be bright, and in the sleeping place - muted, absent-minded.

• If there is barely enough space just for a bed, opt for a loft bed with sleeping accommodations on the upper level. Then under them it will be possible to organize a play area, workplace or storage system - depending on what is required in your case.

The easiest way to divide the nursery into zones is if one child or children of the same sex and age lives in it. To do this, it is enough to correctly arrange the furniture, highlight the playground with a soft carpet (see), install a night light by the bed and a bright lamp on the desktop, paste over the walls with wallpaper of different colors, etc.

Whichever option you choose, it is very important not to infringe on the interests and needs of the child, which change with age. If preschoolers need a lot of space for playing and storing toys, then in the future it is necessary to take care of a properly organized work area with a convenient storage system and good lighting.

Actual zoning

It is about the real separation of different zones with the help of various building structures, cabinet furniture or mobile partitions.

Zoning of common areas

If the area and configuration of the room allows, it is best to divide it into children's and adult zones so as to isolate them from each other, at least visually. The reasons are clear: all family members have a different schedule, each of them wants to have "their own" corner, where no one bothers you and you can not hinder anyone. Do not forget about intimate life parents.

The examples below will help small-sized homeowners complete zoning studio apartment for the nursery and living room or bedroom:

• The most affordable option is curtains and screens, which are used for their intended purpose only when necessary: ​​at night or when the child is doing homework and should not be distracted from the activities of moving other family members.

Advice. Another option from this category is a parent or children's bed with a canopy made of thick fabric.

• You can also partition the room with cabinet furniture - cabinets, shelves(cm. ). Or a light plasterboard partition, the shape of which can be any: straight, curly, half, with or without niches and windows.

• The most radical method suitable for rooms with sufficient space is to install a solid partition with a door or to install tight-fitting sliding / folding partitions. It allows providing not only visual, but also sound insulation, which greatly facilitates the coexistence of two generations in the same room: parents can receive guests or watch TV when the children are already asleep.

Note. To limit the sound transmission of the plasterboard partition, the instruction recommends laying a layer of hard mineral wool between the sheets, tightly inserting it between the frame guides.

Allocation of zones in the nursery

Decorating a nursery, creating an interior that matches the interests and tastes of the child is a truly exciting experience. If your son or daughter can already voice their wishes, they must be taken into account.

Zoning with partitions of a children's room is justified if it is spacious or is intended for two teenagers of different sexes, each of whom should have a personal space. In all other cases, you can get by in less drastic ways.

One of them is the separation of the sleeping area from the guest or play furniture: shelves for books and toys, writing desk with shelves, etc.

Another interesting solution is the podium. Depending on the height, it is used simply as a platform for games or as a second level, under which pull-out beds are hidden.

During the day, they roll under the podium, turning the room into a gym or playroom, and at night they move forward. Thus, even in a small area, it turns out to place not only a bedroom, but also all the zones necessary for the development of children.

Advice. In a room for babies, it is better to make the podium very low or to equip it with fences to exclude falls and injuries.

If you love and know how to craft, it is not at all necessary to buy special furniture, the price of which has been biting lately. A lot for a children's room can be done independently from wood, furniture boards, and other materials. This is confirmed by the previous picture and the next photo:

The main thing is not to overload the room, try to optimize the space by carefully considering the storage system for children's things.

Conclusion

It is impossible to give specific recommendations for the zoning of children's rooms without knowing the initial data: the size of the room, its additional functional purpose, the number of people living in it. Perhaps some of the ideas from the video in this article will give you direction in which to move.

Children's room zoning is the division of the interior into parts that will contribute to successful personal development... In this regard, each zone should best meet the requirements for it.

In the nursery, babies spend most of their time playing, studying, even playing sports, relaxing and, of course, falling asleep.

That is why it is very important to correctly distinguish between functional areas all space. This will contribute to the enrichment of the environment in which the child grows and develops. It is necessary that in each zone there are exactly those elements and things that would be responsible for development in a particular area. Not the least role is played by shades, toys, features of the lighting system. All this as a whole affects the features of the organization of the entire space.

Already during pregnancy, it is important to think about how the room of the future family member will look like. After all, we usually do not repairs very often. About once every seven or even ten years. That is why you need to clearly understand that the baby will spend more than one year in this room and will develop. He will gradually move to complete independence through play activities and the development of simple lifestyles. In the same space, he will prepare for school, perhaps by attending any preparatory groups... And finally, go to school. At the same time, no one says that it will not be possible to replace or buy something. The bed, table, rug and toys will of course change. But the basic principle of planning should be laid down immediately.

In this part of the room, it is important to provide less light... In this case, the lighting should be soft, diffused. Green lighting works well - it will help you relax and fall asleep quickly. Walls, furniture sets and bed linen can also be made in green or blue colors. It is important that all shades are calm, neutral. Many people argue that children are scared when there is a lot of free space above the bed, and they want to take refuge in a shelter. This will make them feel protected at night. That's why you can hang, curtain or light veil. In order not to develop fears of the dark, they try to interest the child. For example, on the ceiling, they make the effect of a starry sky. Now you can stick on the stars, planets, moon and clouds. All this will help him learn a little about the world around him and at the same time not be afraid of the night.

It is important here to use all the paints that only exist in nature. Use bright and saturated colors especially generously. So the area of ​​the room will become consonant with the activities of the little residents of the apartment. Children will become more active, mobile, interested and happy.

In the play area, it would be nice to do some good work on the lighting.

You can lay or carpet, but only such that the material is pleasant to the touch. And be sure to remember that the child will play on the floor for a lot of time!

At the same time, they promote the development of cleanliness and patience, increase systematic thinking and teach combinatorics. Thanks to constructors and objects that need to be assembled and disassembled, children will acquire and develop important skills: logic and ingenuity.

Try to be more attentive to any little things! There is no need to cover the floors with soft, large pile carpets. It is better for a child to learn to walk on a hard floor: or a parquet. Let the baby play with small toys and other details only after three years, so that he does not begin to put them in his mouth or nose. If suddenly you really want to play with your child with interesting small toys, do it only under supervision!

For girls, equip a kitchenette. Let there be a stove, a table, dishes and all the little things. Now there are a lot of such toys, and for a growing young housewife it is very important to be able to manage well in the kitchen. Let your daughter learn to take care of the baby from a young age. To do this, give her a toy bed with a stroller and diapers. And there must be a mirror in the room of the young princess so that the little fashionista learns to do her hair and flirt.

Boys would like to buy constructors and toys who would teach in game form construction skills. You can even donate a toy set of tools. You can play with your son in the garage. Collect him a mini-car park. Make sure there is enough solid and reliable ground and plenty of room to move around.

Have a zoo corner in your kid's play area. In this way, kindness, caring for our smaller brothers and a responsible attitude can be developed. Buy him pets: guinea pig or hamster, fish, turtle. Also, let there be some indoor flowers on the windowsill that do not require serious care. This is necessary in order to develop in the child the ability to care for plants. If for some reason you cannot have a pet, you can hang pictures with images of animals in the children's room, and also buy toys that look like real animals. On sale - many sets such as "Zoo", "Inhabitants of the deep sea" and others. Children need to be taught the knowledge of nature from an early age.

It is very important that children have a space where they can be creative: draw, sculpt, cut and glue. A kind of mini-workshop, where there would be everything that is necessary for the development of creative skills. You can even stick a sheet of white wallpaper or a large white sheet on the wall, which, like a canvas, can be constantly changed. So the child will not draw especially much on the walls, and will develop his creativity!

Keep in mind that the educational process begins not only when the baby goes to school, but long before that day. Already from the age of three, teach your baby letters, reading, and counting.

From a psychological point of view, they tune in to the educational mood following colors... Yellow enhances mental performance. Red helps focus and show interest. Red and yellow give a useful combination: they encourage people to learn something new. That being said, it's important not to overdo it. Let there be only bright shades so that it does not turn out that too "vigorous" combination of shades will lead to the fact that the child becomes aggressive and restless.

At the same time, the corner should not resemble a "strict school". Let it be more like an office, a mini-office. Have different maps, posters and diagrams hanging on the walls. Everything you need to learn new knowledge in an interesting and relaxed manner. Hang up study boards, find a globe, order a simple microscope. Let your child try on the role of a little genius scientist. If you put a lot of books and encyclopedias on the shelves - not boring ones, but with pictures - the child will show more interest in studying different life phenomena.

Be sure to do in the study area good system lighting. It is best to put the table by the window altogether, because it is so important that your little genius gets more fresh air and natural daylight during scientific research.

Sports section

For a growing body, the importance of sports activities can hardly be overestimated. Let the everyday study work be "balanced" with small sports loads. It is best if there is a full-fledged sports complex in your baby's room, in which there would be many simulators for different exercises. If there is not enough space for all this, then limit yourself to the classic set: wall bars, horizontal bar, swing, rope ladder and rings. For all this, not so much space is needed. The floor in the sports area is best finished with special coverings, while the top layer should be safe in case of falling children. In this area, you need to make bright and saturated colors. Red, hot pink, orange are good. These shades lead to increased motor activity and help muscles to work better.

If the child is still very young, then he will simply need to have the same small objects in the bathroom as himself: rugs, soaps, high chairs, dressing gowns, towels. And do not skimp on things in the form of funny animals, characters from fairy tales and cartoons. Fancy shower gels, shampoos, washcloths and even toothbrushes are now on sale. Such non-standard bright objects will help to interest the child and teach him to hygiene.

If there are several children?

If you have two or more children, then for each you definitely need to equip your own sleeping place and study area. But the play and sports areas can be shared. So they will be able to communicate, invent their own games and learn to help each other, develop social communication skills.

Partitions. With the help of partitions of different configurations, solid - from floor to ceiling - or opaque, which are placed as an additional wall, you can divide the space. This method is suitable if the room is large and has two or more windows. If the room is smaller, it is best to choose low partitions half the room high. You can choose a "transparent" partition. This will additionally serve as a rack, shelves with volumetric sections. And there are also movable screens, with the help of which the space can be changed several times a day.

"Barriers". They are usually made of drywall and placed perpendicular to one of the walls. They are 1/3 of the space in height. In small rooms, such a barrier will serve as a bookshelf, sofa or wardrobe.

Design and personality

The children's room should express the personal preferences of the child, and its design should be functional. The correct design of the premises makes it possible to organically combine in one space a recreation area, a playroom, a study and a living room. When dividing the space, you should take into account such important factors as the age and gender of the baby. For example, a sports corner will hardly be appropriate in a girl's room, and a teenager will not need a play area.

The design of the main surfaces should facilitate the concentration of the child's attention, not cause him aggression and feelings of anxiety. An overly saturated design will put pressure on the child, he will get tired and annoyed faster for any reason. Should be avoided and overly dark colors, it is best to focus on the classic pastel color scheme. Examples of the harmonious design of children's rooms are shown in the photo.

The decoration of the nursery and all interior items must meet the requirements of environmental friendliness and safety, so it is best to give preference natural materials and fabrics.

We design the design of the room

When designing a nursery design, the following factors should be taken into account:

• the location of the room;
• dimensions;
• lighting.

For a nursery, it is best to highlight a well-lit room located on the west or south side of an apartment or house, since rooms with windows facing south or west are best lit. Such a room will not lack natural light.

When considering the layout of the nursery, you should determine in advance the location of the various zones. So, for example, the organization of the workplace implies the presence of a sufficient number of outlets, and the bed should not be located in close proximity to a door or window opening. The child will not feel comfortable if his sleeping place is located near the battery.

Advice: as the child grows up, it will be necessary to transform the play area into a living room or study. Possible changes should also be foreseen in advance.

Basic rules for the harmonious division of space

Zoning a child's room can be done in various ways. To divide the space, the most often used elements are:

• arches;
• screens;
• decorative designs;
• podiums;
• cabinet furniture;
• partitions;
• textile.

If the space of the nursery does not allow the use of partitions or zone the room with the help, then you can highlight this or that zone with the help of lighting or textiles. The division of space in the nursery is a prerequisite, as it will help teach the child to order and systematize his learning process.

The play area in the children's room is central to the design; it can be separated using movable partitions or highlighted by combining wallpaper. You can separate the playroom using a podium or multi-level ceiling.

To divide the space, multi-level structures are most often used. Tier zoning provides daylight the entire space of the nursery, does not darken it, and also solves the issue of combining different zones. With level zoning, it is necessary to create an ergonomic space in which the child will feel comfortable, that is, his movement should not be difficult, and the room itself should not be overloaded with unnecessary design elements.

Balance of the interior

In order to create a harmonious space, you should be guided by ready-made design solutions... When choosing furniture for a particular zone, one should take into account its functionality and choose not the completeness that is available from the manufacturer, but the one that most fully corresponds to the dimensions and has elements that correspond to the purpose of the zone.

The storage system should be thought out in the room. It is best to order cabinet furniture according to an individual project, since such furniture will most closely match the dimensions of the nursery. Everything constituent elements must comply with safety, ergonomic and environmental standards.
