Choosing colors for the nursery
Choosing a color for a nursery is an important stage of renovation.
An abundance of bright colors can have a negative impact on the child. The room is a place where the baby will spend a lot of time. There he will have to sleep, play, do his homework. Too bright colors will not allow the child to fall asleep comfortably or calm down quickly. Therefore, it is important to think through the palette of the room in advance, correctly balancing neutral and colorful colors
The most suitable palette is beige, light yellow or soft blue.
The choice will be influenced by the child’s gender, age, individual characteristics and interests. You should definitely take into account the baby’s opinion about every detail in his room. It is also worth considering the following features:
- Location of the room.
- Level of natural light.
- Size of space.
- Planned organization of space, functional areas.
In 11 sq. m. you need to arrange two separate areas - for work and rest.
The factors listed above will influence the final choice of colors. So, in a dark room it is recommended to use a light palette. It is also suitable for a small room. Light colors visually expand the area and add lighting.
Today there are modular compact furniture attributes.
For girls, traditionally the main shades are pink, beige, and lilac. Blue and green colors are suitable for boys.

Children's room 20 sq.m. in beige tones for two girls
The idea of a separate nursery for two girls was born even before buying an apartment - this was the main task that had to be met. Even then they clearly decided that the children would not have any bunk beds or sofas - only free-standing beds with good mattresses. That’s when we purchased two single Softform ottoman beds from the Mia collection. They went through three moves, the final of which was to the dacha after acquiring the current furniture. It was these two wonderful beds that helped us decide on a children’s room design for our new apartment.
The renovation took almost a year. Even at the stage of construction of the apartment, we decided to remodel and give the largest room to our girls - 20.7 m2.
The entrance door to the room was moved to make it more convenient to place the necessary furniture and divide the room into zones. We also took into account the design of the living room, which is located behind the door.
Everything turned out great on both sides of the doors. They moved the doorway themselves; the rest of the work was done by workers. The interior doors are the same as in the entire apartment: Russian-made, cappuccino color.
The ceiling was made simply flat, with a low box and additional built-in spotlights in the work area and relaxation area - seven in total. The ceiling was painted with high quality white water-based paint. The cornice was built into the niche.
The chandelier is a classic one, with five lights, with silver lampshades that add a festive atmosphere.
The wallpaper for the walls was chosen long and hard, together with the girls. We looked at many monochromatic options, looking for “our colors.” And so they found it.
Back then they didn’t know that the presence of turquoise in a children’s room was very appropriate. It is believed that turquoise color can improve immunity, relieve fatigue and irritability. This color opens up the walls and makes the room light and sunny.
On the floor there is a laminate from Egger with a bevel, the color is Nordland brown oak. They laid it diagonally as in the rest of the apartment. This makes laminate look more beautiful and visually expands the space.
The curtains are a reminder of a vacation in Georgia, since it was there that, while walking through the shops, we saw these wonderful fabrics. The curtains were sewn there.
The furniture appeared on a wonderful date - September 1, 2014. The youngest daughter was just starting first grade. The eldest daughter went to the eighth.
The project for the children's room was completely created by a loving mother. I tried to take into account all the desires and interests of my girls, as well as the age of each. We looked at a lot of photographs and visited many furniture companies. We considered many options for ready-made furniture. But we decided to make furniture to order.
The furniture material is from the same Egger company, woodline cream color. He looks great! Over the course of a year, we haven’t regretted choosing this particular color one bit. In a bright room, light furniture with cream splashes adds its own light and coziness. And most importantly, it goes very well with turquoise color. All furniture is equipped with high-quality fittings, mortise handles are matte chrome.
A large table for two safely took its place by the window. The table is really big and very comfortable. The edge of the table top was slightly rounded. We were very worried that this might interfere with the children’s correct seating at the table, but it turned out that due to the length (255 cm) it is practically not felt, but looks beautiful.
The workplace is very well lit, as there are windows on almost all sides of the table. At the table there are additional sockets for equipment, lamps and networks.
On the left wall there are spacious shelves for textbooks. They are given lightness by small glass shelves in the center.
Let's go to the playing area. There was a lot of space in the center of the room for the youngest daughter to play, and for the eldest daughter to dance and play sports. A chest of drawers and dressing table was placed here. The drawers serve as a chest of drawers, and on top there are racks and shelves, like in a dressing table. There is enough space for jewelry, cosmetics, and toys. It is very convenient for the youngest to play with toys here.
Next to the chest of drawers there is a very convenient low window sill, 60 cm from the floor, which is also used for games. In general, this corner in the room turned out to be multifunctional.
There is a request for a mirror above the chest of drawers, but it will hang opposite the door, which in itself is not very good. After living in the room for almost a year, the girls realized that closet mirrors were enough. Therefore, now there are plans to complement this and other walls with paintings by the artist Evgenia Gapchinska.
The cabinet has four doors, with open side shelves. The bottom is chic and comfortable, and has an unusual appearance. Each daughter has her own shelves, drawers and hanging places. There is plenty of space in the closet for absolutely everything. On two doors there are full-length beveled mirrors and very beautiful long handles from Hettich.
The beds are made according to the model and likeness of those beds that were mentioned above. An ottoman bed is both comfortable and practical.
The side walls of the bed protect from contact with the walls, which are not always warm, and also protect the wallpaper from abrasion and dirt. Each bed has a spacious drawer. All the youngest daughter’s toys fit there. The eldest uses the same drawer for her purses and sports equipment.
There are hanging shelves above the beds. There are a lot of shelves, and now there is enough space for photographs, souvenirs, and other pleasant little things.
Each bed has a small “bedside” chest of drawers with two drawers and a shelf. There are sockets behind each chest of drawers, and there is a hole in the tabletop for wires from lamps.
The carpet is made in Moldova from synthetic fiber, it is very comfortable, and it makes the room much cozier.
They also provided space for TV. Sockets and network are located on the wall near the small window and chest of drawers. Sitting comfortably under a blanket on the beds, hiding from their parents, the girls will be pleased to watch a wonderful movie before bed.
The most important thing in a children's room is that children really like it. Beautiful, high-quality furniture and decorative items will help children develop good taste and a sense of style.

Interior decoration by age
At different ages, children’s development correlates with a specific area of activity, so when thinking through the details of the room’s interior, focus on the child’s zone of proximal development. Toddlers and preschoolers will need a large play area, while schoolchildren and teens should have a comfortable study area and space for hobbies. It is more difficult to combine the needs of two children of different ages, one of whom still needs a place to play, and the other - a quiet corner of a teenager, free from outside attention. In this case, it is best to turn to professionals who will come up with a room design based on the wishes of the mother and the owners of the room.
For babies
The most important thing in a baby's room is its safety. Eco-friendly furniture, no sharp corners, closed sockets and completely hidden wires are mandatory conditions
In addition, the floors in the baby's room should be covered with a soft carpet or equipped with heating, because this is where babies will learn to crawl and walk. The design of the little boys' room is designed for growth, which means it will have a sports area. Don’t forget to place enough mats near dangerous projectiles to ensure safety. It is better to minimize the amount of furniture: cribs, wardrobe or chest of drawers. This is what will really be used in the first years of your children's lives. It is best to add supplies to the study area as they grow. But think over the lighting system right away to prevent the appearance of new wires in the future.
For preschool boys
At preschool age, boys are so active that their games are comparable to the invasion of a huge army into the territory of a small state. To prevent furniture and toys from breaking at the first meeting with their owners, take care of their strength. Shelves hanging on the walls should be comfortable for children to use and securely attached to the walls. This way the boys will be able to take and put things and books in place on their own. It is better to make the external design bright, colorful, perhaps even thematic, but not flashy, because the children will have to sleep in the same room
At this age, it is most important to design the play and sleeping areas, reducing the study space to a minimum. In the sports corner, wall bars, slides, and rings will become relevant.
Do not use easily breakable or breakable items in the interior. In preschool age, it is better to make the nursery comfortable and practical, neglecting its appearance. Beautiful little things can be added in a few years.
For schoolchildren and teenagers
At this age, boys can take an active part in decorating their room. Let them choose furniture, wallpaper, some interesting things. The parents' task is to provide several of the most practical options to choose from. Carefully consider the work area, but the space that was previously intended for games can gradually begin to be used for hobbies. Add musical instruments, a large easel, replace the children's sports complex with adult exercise equipment, in accordance with the hobbies of both children. At the same time, be sure to think about the hobbies of both sons, because even at this age, rivalry and resentment between brothers are possible, just like in early childhood. The external design should mature along with the owners of the room. Be sure to consult with them which style is preferable to use in the interior.
For boys of all ages
A room for two boys of different ages requires a lot of space on which all zones can be arranged in full. To do this, it is best to select the largest and brightest room in an apartment or house. At the very beginning, the room should be divided into two parts (not necessarily equal), and within each of them, their own zoning should be created, taking into account age characteristics. There are a number of reasons for this:
- Children of different ages do not fall asleep at the same time; preschoolers still have a quiet hour. Therefore, it is almost impossible to combine sleeping areas so that no one disturbs anyone.
- The younger child needs a good play area in which to spend time while the older child does his homework, so the study and play parts of the room cannot be located close to each other.
- In addition, any teenager is jealous of his personal space and personal belongings, not allowing his younger brother to see them.
What can still unite two brothers is a single storage area.

If your child is already a schoolboy, think about a comfortable and practical bed. Don't forget about the desk and the corner with a Swedish wall.
Choosing a color scheme and style for the nursery
One of the most important moments when the design of a children's room of 15 square meters is formed. m. is color and style. The color aspect is very important - pay maximum attention to it. It affects:
- Psychological state of the child. The lighter and more delicate shades are used, the better for the emotional state.
- If the room has windows facing north, it is advisable to use warm colors. Otherwise, she will seem gloomy and cold.
- But if the room is southern, then you can experiment with cooler shades. This is especially true for boys' rooms. In this case, the room will not seem overly gloomy.
- No less important is the pattern on the walls, which sets the basis for the entire style direction. For example, a vertical strip, narrow or wide, can be used in a room when its height is greater than the width of the room.
To make the room seem larger, a light color palette is used in the interior - pastel wallpaper with or without a pattern, white ceiling, light-colored furniture
Glossy surfaces on furniture make the room wider and brighter
The color also needs to be closely tied to the style of the room. When choosing one design or another, they focus on the age of the child.
Classic and neutral styles, without pronounced accentuated moments, are best chosen for young children.

But for a teenager, you can implement modern projects that combine bold solutions, non-standard room divisions and maximum functionality
To do this, you need to pay attention to such modern style trends as minimalism, hi-tech, eco-friendly, ethnic, marine and others
Modern teenagers often choose a loft to decorate their room

For those who cannot settle on one of them, you can combine several in one room. But such a fusion will require careful consideration of the space.
Modern
Modern is a very good solution for a children's room. Its original designs allow you to combine beds with wardrobes and walls. All this makes it possible to make the most of every corner of a small room.

For children of different sexes, in this case, it is better to divide the room using a rack with bookshelves. This solution looks especially good when the room has a square plan and a sufficiently large window, which ensures uniform lighting at all points of the interior space.

The base color scheme should be as light as possible in this case. White and beige shades will look ideal as a base, on which delicate color accents should be placed.
Modern style
A modern bedroom can offer the most original ways of zoning using the construction of plasterboard structures. In this case, you can make a niche under the bed, thereby separating the sleeping area from the rest of the room.
Furniture must be selected based on practicality and shape
The color scheme in this case is similar to the Art Nouveau style. Light shades in combination with rich tones applied locally look stylish at the same time and emphasize that the room belongs to a young man or girl.
Wallpaper can be plain, striped or with interesting geometric shapes
High tech
The latest technological developments, both in terms of decoration and furniture, should be used in a high-tech children's bedroom. Original ceiling decoration with strip lighting. Unusual plastic furniture, the shapes of which look bent and unnatural.

Original designer decor - all this will require additional financial costs. Of course, such a room will look fresh and stylish, especially if you arrange the furniture in a non-standard way. But still it is better to use it for teenagers, not for small children.
Basic rules and tricks
You can visually enlarge an already rather large room using some tricks:
- Built-in cornices. Allows you to close the curtain movement system from prying eyes. Visually lighten the room and make it more pleasant.
- Smooth white ceilings.
- Spotlights. They can emit both warm and cool light, depending on the area where they are placed.
- If the children are still small, try to make furniture in the room without sharp corners.
- All fabrics and finishing materials should be used as natural as possible.
- Choose warm shades, closer to natural ones.
Thematic design of a room for a boy
Adolescence is the most interesting period for boys. They have their own idols and hobbies. Based on this, the design of the room can be chosen in any style.
- Sports theme. Sport as such is very close to any boy, even if he does not engage in it. The room can be decorated in a football style by decorating one of the walls with photo wallpaper of a football field. A ball-shaped rug on the floor would be a good idea. If a teenager has a favorite football team, then a poster with its image may hang on the wall. Alternatively, the room design can be made in the color of the uniform of your favorite team. And the main attribute is the ball. If a boy plays football and has awards, then a special stand should be made for them.

- Marine theme. Does your child love the sea, ships and dreams of becoming a sailor? Parents can choose a nautical style design. It can look like a captain's cabin or simply have decor reminiscent of the sea. It is better to use beige and pale blue colors. On one of the walls it would not be amiss to have an anchor or a clock in the form of a compass. And on the wall near the bed it would be appropriate to put photo wallpaper in the form of an aquarium or the seabed with all its inhabitants.

- Musical theme. Teenagers in most cases begin to become interested in music, so the room can be designed in some musical style or with several accents. For example, stick a large photo of your favorite idol or wallpaper in the form of a scene on one of the walls. There are three-dimensional stickers in the shape of musical instruments or notes that can be glued to furniture or a wall. The design of the room should be moderate. The room is small, so the parents’ task is not to clutter it and use only light colors.
Below are photos of the children's music room.
Basic rules for arrangement
When starting to plan the necessary room, you need to take into account the age of the baby. When dividing space into functionally different zones, the possibility of transformation should be foreseen in advance. After all, as the child grows up, new interests and needs will appear.
Children's living room in one room
For example, to provide all the needs of an infant, only a small crib and a small changing table will be enough. In addition to a bed, a preschooler needs a place to store toys, a table for educational games and drawing.
If you have a child, sooner or later you will have to solve the problem of combining the living room with the children's room. But first, you need to take into account the mandatory purchase of a comfortable desk, shelves (racks) for fiction and educational literature and other components.
Option for zoning a room with a podium
When choosing an interior where the living room and children’s room are in the same room, you need to take into account a number of features:
- It is more convenient to place the children's corner by the window, where there will be more natural light and clean air. Otherwise you will have to hang the sconce on the wall. Do not forget that there must be a table lamp on the desk so that the child does not damage his eyesight.
- The children's area should not be placed near the doors, as frequent slamming and extraneous sounds will prevent your child from sleeping peacefully.
- Make the recreation area a walk-through area, not the child’s bedroom.
Living room zoning
When you want to combine a nursery with a living room, you need to take care of the convenience and comfort of the child. Even small details need to be taken into account. So how to successfully zoning the living room and children's room?
Ways to visually expand space
Compact space must be used as ergonomically as possible, optically increasing the area of the room. To visually expand the limited footage, you can use several proven techniques, which will also have an effective effect on the design of a cozy children's room of 12 square meters. m.
- When decorating a room, opt for a pastel palette: light colors add volume to even tiny rooms. Small patterns on wallpaper operate on the same principle.
- A large mirror is another tool for illusorily increasing the size of an area. This accessory is especially important for a girl's nursery. For safety reasons, you can use an acrylic analogue of the mirror, which is considered less dangerous.
- The introduction of stripes into the interior helps to visually lengthen the ceiling and expand the walls. In a nursery, you can approach the lines with imagination, for example, by applying a pattern in the form of trees to the walls, the trunks of which will make the ceiling visually higher.
- The abundance of light also creates the illusion of volume, so do not skimp on lamps and additional lighting.
- An accent wall is a great way to change the proportions of a room, hiding the lack of free space. Therefore, the wall behind the head of the children's bed can be safely painted in a darker color, which will be harmonized in tone with the rest of the room's decoration.
Room design for a girl
To design a children's room for a girl, the following style is often used:
Fashionable glamor. White, glossy furniture elements and bright accents on textile interior elements are used here. The room is complemented by shelves, boxes, boxes for storing office supplies, clothes, toys, cosmetics and other accessories.
Neoclassical in white or beige shades with accessories in pale pink or rich tones of the pink spectrum.
Decorating a children's room depending on age category
A separate room will allow the child to quickly get used to independent living. The child will begin to feel that he is trusted, and he must be responsible for his personal territory.
For a 3-year-old child, parents arrange the room themselves and carefully arrange objects for convenient use. For surface finishing, choose soft, light colors and select bright decorative elements.
Cover the window openings with thick pastel curtains that will hide the sun’s rays, which are not always beneficial. Lay a warm rug on the floor, taking into account that the child will play and crawl.
For the age group up to 7 years old, photo wallpaper on the walls is suitable. Remember that your child is beginning to explore the world, so buy children's accessories. Set up a place for creative processes, where your child can draw or prepare for school.
The layout of a nursery from 7 to 13 years old should have a place where the child will learn lessons and develop. Make sure you have proper lighting for your work surface, a comfortable chair and table. If you have the opportunity to place a desk by the window, do not neglect it.
Below are photos of a children's room 12 sq. m. They depict planning ideas for all age categories.
Room for children of different sexes
If there are several children growing up in a family, of different genders, of different ages, then it is quite difficult to make the right design, taking into account all age and gender wishes.
Children's room for two 20 sq.m. allows you to easily zone the room into two – for a boy and for a girl.
To zone a room, you can use a screen or a variety of partitions (both mobile and built-in).

Valuable tips for small apartments
For owners of small one-room apartments, experts offer the following:
- replace heavy curtains with airy, light blinds, they will give a feeling of spaciousness and add sunlight;
- replace bulky cabinet furniture with modular furniture that can be easily moved, rearranged or removed;
- use more mirrors and glass elements, they visually expand the space;
- Before combining the living room with the nursery, first determine the location for each zone, its function (location of the TV, furniture, crib and desk for the baby).
Little tricks for small rooms
In non-standard rooms, in order to combine a living room with a nursery, you need compact multifunctional furniture.
- It is practical for a student to buy a loft bed and place a study area or sofa below;
- It is convenient to have hidden drawers for personal items in the sofa and in the baby’s crib;
- To save space, it is recommended that schoolchildren use a folding table for studying.
If the recreation area is supposed to be in the center of the room, then it is better to create a play area and a sleeping place for the child in opposite corners. This will bring balance to the interior between the central part and the corner areas.
Style selection
The direction of room decoration is chosen together with the child. If the baby cannot yet clearly decide what he likes, the parents decide this issue on their own.
Children's room 14 sq. m. will allow you to install all the necessary furniture and select the appropriate decor. Classic style is always in demand, it never goes out of fashion. To get more space for games and creativity, choose minimalism.
Art Nouveau style is suitable for decorating the room of your daughter and son. This direction gives the opportunity to make a colorful and interesting design. Children like bright decor and smooth lines.
Finishing
- If the children's windows face south, then when choosing wallpaper or paint for the walls, give preference to light blue, light lilac and light gray shades, that is, cold.
- If you want to hang wallpaper, then choose coverings with a small and unobtrusive pattern, since a large and too bright one will make the room even smaller.
- By the way, if possible, replace the regular swing door with a sliding door.
- As for the floor, in our example it is finished with light tiles. But if on the hot Philippine islands, where the owners of the room live, such cool material is quite acceptable, then in Russia it is better to finish the floor with solid wood, linoleum, cork, carpet, laminate or parquet boards. When choosing a laminate or parquet board, give preference to three-strip planks, laid in a staggered pattern, and at home, lay them either at an angle of 45 degrees or across the room. This technique will help visually expand the walls and make the room wider.
Deciding on the zones in the nursery
The main areas of the nursery are equipped for:
- rest, sleep;
- games;
- creativity;
- changing clothes;
- study;
- sports activities.
When there is more than one child, the working or sleeping place is made separate for each, separating them as much as possible. If they are already large and of different genders, separate corners for changing clothes are required; the project provides for this in advance.
Positive aspects of proper space zoning:
- accustoms children to order - it is unlikely that it will be possible to place many objects here;
- the room seems more spacious - especially when its decoration is light;
- a separate work area helps you concentrate on your studies;
- if there are several children, each gets a personal territory.
Zoning is done using:
- sliding screens;
- arches;
- narrow shelving;
- curtains;
- podiums;
- differences in ceiling heights;
- screens;
- different colors of floors, walls, ceilings;
- pieces of furniture;
- local lighting.
Sleeping and rest area
A fully rested child studies, grows, and develops well, so the comfort of a sleeping place is in the foreground. It is best to purchase an orthopedic mattress and the same pillow. The sleeping area is located against the wall or in the center of the room, separated from other places by a screen or a wardrobe. Sometimes it is arranged on a podium, but only if the child is not too small - otherwise it will be difficult for him to climb, and accidental injuries are possible during games. A nightstand and a small bedside table are placed nearby. For two children, a bunk bed is preferable, with the eldest usually sleeping on the top bunk. The structure must be stable so that it cannot be shaken or overturned. The ladder to the top is mounted from the end. For children over eight years old, a symmetrical loft bed is made - two sleeping places are placed one behind the other, there are ladders on both sides. Below are two separate work tables.
Study area
The computer desk is equipped with shelves, drawers for notebooks, books, stationery, educational toys. Here the child draws, sculpts, does appliqué, and makes handicrafts, and the schoolchild does homework. Here they hang a multiplication table, a class schedule, a geographical map, a board on which they write with chalk, etc. It is better to place this place near the window - for a right-handed student the light falls on the left, for a left-handed student - on the right. Separate work tables or one large one are placed for two people, the space for each is clearly separated and illuminated separately. If there is a well-insulated balcony or loggia, the study area is placed there - then the windows are decorated with roller blinds that will protect the eyes from the bright daytime sun. The balcony is partially or completely combined with the main room; the border is created using an arch, a “scattering” curtain.
Area for games and entertainment
A play area is needed up to 10-12 years old; it is often combined with a sports area, representing a rack with toys, a thick floor mat or gymnastics mat, ladders, and swings. Several poufs are placed here, inside of which it is also possible to put toys or a small soft sofa, also with spacious internal sections. Colored plastic storage boxes are placed on top of each other, a rack or a cabinet - you can’t do without them when there are a lot of toys. It is not recommended to install a TV in a child's bedroom - it distracts from studies and creative activities. If the item does exist, it is secured in a place convenient for viewing, where the likelihood of accidental breaking during games is minimal.
Sleeping area
One of the most important places in a child's room is the crib. First of all, because a child needs more time to sleep than an adult.
- If the latter needs 7-8 hours a day, then a child, depending on age, needs from 16 hours at 2-3 years old to 8-10 in adolescence.
- At the same time, children under 7 years of age are recommended to have both night and daytime sleep to unload the brain and nervous system, which means that curtains should be provided in the room that will hide daylight.
- In addition, the child’s bed often becomes the center of play and relaxation. Here children prefer to build castles, chat with friends, read books and watch their gadgets.
This is why manufacturers pay so much attention to bed design. No one decorates a chest of drawers or a closet so colorfully.
Often, the modern design of a children's room is generally based on the appearance of the bed. For girls, they select furniture in the form of a fairy-tale princess house or an oriental tent, and for boys they buy spaceships and fishing ships.
To properly arrange a sleeping place, you need to consider the following points:
- The bed should be designed for several ages; children grow very quickly and changing furniture every two years is quite expensive.
- This furniture should be equipped with additional storage space for linen. This will save space in the room, and also make making the bed and changing linen a simple and convenient task. And this will already teach the child to order and neatness. When the baby is still very small and needs care, a bed with drawers or a chest of drawers will make life easier for the mother.
- A double bed or a bunk bed is preferred. If the child is alone, then a sleeping place with a loft will expand his personal space and add space for games.
- A canopy or curtain will allow you to create a personal space, become a small house for him and will additionally protect the child from drafts while sleeping. This design is especially relevant if the room area is 15-20 square meters. meters, since it is difficult for a small child to navigate a large space.
- Additional equipment for games. Many beds are available with wall bars, chests of drawers, lofts or additional ladders.
- Lighting and shelves for books and small items. The child will definitely have something to do before bedtime. To prevent him from hanging out on his mobile phone, shelves for books, e-readers and high-quality lighting should be placed near the bed.
