Children's playroom is the best solution to the issue of leisure time for a child

How to draw a sketch?
Making sketches of a children's room is necessary to visualize the future design. Would you like to arrange a space in the Art Nouveau style, Shabby Chic (a popular children's trend). Then you definitely need to first see how the room will look.
Any interior design project begins with a sketch
You can go online and download pictures of finished premises. But to create a real exclusive, you need to create the design only with your own hands. There is a convenient tool for a visual representation. It is used by experienced design professionals. This method of depicting sketches is called the method of converging points. Here's what it means:
- Start by drawing a square or rectangle. This is the outline of the front wall. Next, one point is selected, called the vanishing point. It must be marked slightly below the middle of the square, to the left, to the right of the center. All subsequent lines directed deep into the sheet of paper should tend to this point. This is how symmetry and uniformity are maintained.
- The first step is to draw the outlines of the room while maintaining the proportions. Be sure to mark single vertical and horizontal segments on paper. This is necessary for the convenience of subsequent application of the components.
- Next, window and door openings are depicted. When the basis is there, move on to depicting pieces of furniture, game complexes, and paintings. The good thing about this method is that after drawing the diagram in pencil, you can paint it in any colors and see what happens. The technique of such drawing is called depicting the room in perspective (that is, moving deeper).
Draw several options for decorating the children's space. Compare the most interesting ones, put them together, and get an exclusive design for your gaming room.

Decorating the game room
Repair and arrangement of a children's room begins with finishing the floor. The floor covering must meet the following criteria:
- be soft;
- warm;
- do not get dirty;
- easy to clean without the use of chemicals;
- be resistant to mechanical loads and intensive use.
A children's carpet with a thematic pattern is perfect for the flooring of a playroom.
Ceramic tiles should not be used in a children's playroom!
Suitable floor coverings:
- special soft material;
- carpet;
- linoleum (to a lesser extent).
But parquet, parquet boards or laminate will be superfluous here. All these finishing materials have a hard surface. They are easy to damage, deform and fail.
In a small child’s playroom, soft rugs that the child can move at his own discretion will come in handy.
The best flooring color is white. Patterns are welcome. All kinds of circles, colored squares, images of silhouettes of animals, trees, castles and towers. Children love fairy tales. White flooring is needed to provide contrast to the toys and large play sets that you buy in the store. Multi-colored fronts of cabinets, bedside tables, tables and chairs will look great on a white floor covering.

Walls and ceiling
There should be patterns, drawings, images of animals, trees and other children's characters on the walls. The vertical arrangement of such a “canvas” favors the artistic expressions of the residents. Try yourself as an artist of children's dreams. Take on the task of painting your own picture of the playroom. It could turn out to be something very worthwhile.
Your child will love to draw or decorate the walls of their room with appliqués.
Buy themed wallpaper with patterns. This will make repairs easier. A large selection of colors, patterns, images will delight your baby. Pay attention to fairy tales.
Be sure to hang open shelves. To make it more exclusive, place an LED strip inside the shelves. In the evening, your child will love the colorful glow of the lights.
There should be enough shelves to accommodate toys and board games.
A good idea would be to make a real tree on the wall. Do it yourself if you have woodworking machines. Cut several pieces with a circular saw. Treat the wood with a dark stain or colored stain that matches the design theme. Take ordinary self-tapping screws, screw the blanks to the wall, forming a trunk, crown, and tree branches from them.
If desired, instead of hanging shelves, books can be placed on the branches of a manufactured tree. To do this, make the blanks wider so that the books do not fall. Having purchased decorative figurines of birds and animals, plant them on the branches of an improvised tree. Soft animals are also suitable.
This tree with shelves can be made with your child over the weekend.
It is beautiful to make the ceiling two-level. This can be easily achieved using plasterboard sheets. Give preference to smooth lines. Looking at such a pattern, the child will calm down.

Decorate the ceiling with the night sky. Star-shaped LED spotlights, a central chandelier in the shape of a night moon, and air clouds suspended on thin cables. Your son or daughter will thank you for such a gift.

Design features
The design of the playroom is aimed at children; accordingly, it should be bright, colorful, and eye-catching. Possible options include classic children's plots, images of favorite fairy-tale characters, popular cartoon plots, as well as computer games. The right solution would be to stylistically design the room to match modern cartoons.
The playroom should have both pastel and bright colors.
The design of a playroom should include zoning the room into two parts: an active play area and a relaxation area. First of all, the design must meet all the requirements for the convenience of children, be creative and multifunctional.
Furniture selection
The more free space in the playing room, the more comfortable and safe it is for children to be. If you need to organize a large number of complexes, slides, stairs, crossbars, hanging rings, allocate a spacious room.

A good choice would be a bunk bed with a sleeping area on top and a play area on the bottom tier.
A soft sofa is required. To ensure that the sofa lasts for a long time, purchase high-quality products from trusted manufacturers. Do not buy frame upholstered furniture. It is better to take sofa-cushions, armchairs-cushions.
Frameless chairs are ideal as furniture for the play area.
Stores sell animal pillows. You can sleep, play, and relax on such a product. The animal pillow does not take up extra space and can be removed. The top upholstery of the animals can be unfastened, washed and dried.
Pay attention to the filler. Natural fabrics for upholstery, filling, and bags are the key to a baby’s strong, long-term health.
Children love play complexes with slides, ladders, steps, labyrinths, and rings. Colored products perfectly decorate and transform the interior design.

Children's comfort area: what is it like?
Children perceive the world differently, so approaches to organizing a children's room are needed slightly different than in the case of adult rooms. It is not enough to choose furniture for the nursery and arrange it according to the advice of professional psychologists and designers. You need to carefully consider design, finishing and repair options.
The main factor when organizing a room is safety. Any piece of furniture must be completely safe. There should be no sharp corners; it is better to select objects with rounded corners.
Children should live and be raised in purity. Any materials used during renovation, finishing and equipment must be as hygienic as possible. Besides, kids are kids—they always get something dirty. Furniture and wall coverings must withstand moisture and not collect dirt and dust.
Another factor in organizing a children's room is reliability. Any moving elements of gaming or any other equipment, a structure with a transformation function, must be fixed as securely as possible. Children's games are a hurricane, so during the games it is possible that pieces of furniture may fall or become dislodged.

It is best if monolithic, high-quality assembled structures are selected as pieces of furniture. Attachments (shelves, picture or photo frames) must be secured in such a way that the products do not fall out of their places.
Another important part of a room for children is convenience and comfort. And without such an element as a toy, any child cannot imagine life. For proper upbringing, parents instill in their children a sense of order. It is necessary to allocate special places for storing toys. These can be drawers in a transforming bed or a separate place in the closet.
Sometimes, when there is a shortage of free space, children use the room for a variety of active activities. In addition to a place for active pastime, you need to think about a corner where the child can engage in quiet activities.
