Parents need to approach the choice of design, style and location of a children's room in a private home very responsibly and carefully.
After all, loving parents strive to equip the children's room in the house better and more beautiful than the rest. The design of a nursery in a private home has a number of its own rules and features that need to be taken into account.
The magical world of little people
You will need: large and small stones, paints and brushes, thin wooden plates or boxes, available materials.
It’s not difficult to win the hearts of fairy tale lovers - just make the garden a magical world of gnomes and elves with the help of paints, pieces of wood and your own imagination. The easiest option is to paint large stones with paints and place these houses in different corners of the site.
It is a little more difficult to use garden trees to attach wooden doors and windows to them.
And for those who are ready for exploits - the idea of a small area for dolls.
How to decorate a nursery at the dacha: a room for a boy
Today, children's week was the work of the capital's decorator Zhenya Zhdanova, the mother of three sons.
The room in question was created specifically for one of them – the youngest, Sergei. Decorator, founder of the online interior boutique DivaDecor and mother of three sons. Winner of the “Design Debut-2012” competition, finalist of the professional competition of architects, designers and decorators PinWin-2013.
She runs a blog about interior design, where she talks about current projects and shares her finds. Her works have been published in the magazines “Best Interiors”, “Home”. Interiors + Ideas”, “Ideas for your Home”, Elle Decoration”, as well as in the online publications Decorator and DforDesign.
Zhenya believes that the interior should be personal and unique, and is looking for non-standard solutions, special interior items and fresh ideas. In her opinion, a harmonious interior does not necessarily have to be expensive, and she is constantly looking for new opportunities to create spectacular interior solutions.
And Zhenya is sure that many interior items can be created with your own hands, and then the entire interior acquires incomparable charm and individuality.
Children's tent
You will need: a hoop, ropes, threads, a long piece of fabric.
Children love it when they have their own little house, where parents enter only by special invitation. Of course, everyone wants to build a full-fledged wooden house with a kitchenette, furniture and an attic... But let's be realistic - it's long, difficult, and expensive.
The cheapest and easiest option for a children's corner is a tent. The fabric is attached to the hoop using threads, and the hoop is suspended by ropes on one of the branches of a tall tree. The advantage of this option: it is easy to remove if it starts to rain.
Location of the children's room in the house
Qualified experts advise placing a nursery for babies on the first floor of the house, citing the fact that small children can fall down the stairs and get injured.
But on the other hand, all babies need every minute attention and care from their parents.
And, of course, spending the whole night flying between the parents’ bedroom, which is most often located on the second floor, and the children’s room when the child is crying or making any noise, is not a very good solution in this case.
Therefore, it is still better to place the children's room in the house on the second floor. A special barrier, which is placed either near the stairs or at the exit from the nursery, will help you easily avoid injury.
Both a special and any heavy object that will ensure safety are used as a barrier.
Sports section
You will need: a small hoop, ropes, a wooden board, fasteners.
A love of sports should be instilled from childhood, so it would be nice to add sports equipment to your dacha. A classic sports and gaming complex includes a horizontal bar, gymnastic rings, a rope, a basketball hoop, a Swedish or climbing wall.
It is not at all necessary to place huge structures on the site. Perhaps one basketball hoop and a rope will be enough for your child.
Another idea for a sports corner is a trampoline. It’s difficult to make it yourself, but there are inexpensive ready-made options that will last a long time.
A trampoline is useful for the physical development of a child: jumping increases endurance, shapes posture, trains muscles and improves the functioning of the cardiovascular system.
DIY children's wooden house
If you still decide to build a wooden house, pay attention to the option made of beams. First we assemble the frame, then we cover it with boards. Their thickness should be at least 2 cm, ideally 3-4 cm. Thus, the structure will last a long time, but will not look too massive.
Plan 3
The next step is building the roof. Its finished frame, assembled in the same way as the walls, is attached to the walls, then covered with boards in the same way.
By and large, the house for the baby is ready. But for greater safety and attractiveness, it should be coated with paint or varnish. Here everything depends only on your ingenuity and imagination.
The design can be monotonous or multi-colored, have a simple or more fabulous look.
And to make it look more like a real house, the roof of a children’s building can be decorated with artificial foam tiles, which can then be painted.
The exterior of the house can be absolutely anything, from an ordinary box to inventive architecture with a second floor, a slide, stairs or turrets. Everything will depend on the area of the apartment or summer cottage.
Pool
You will need a choice of: a large basin, a baby bath, a deep iron trough, an inflatable pool.
Another important component of the children's corner at the dacha is the swimming pool. Of course, you can save money by using a metal trough or large basin for these purposes, but in this case, do not forget to dig them into the ground a little to strengthen them.
Place the pool in the sunniest part of the site so that the water has time to warm up to the desired temperature. If your budget allows, buy a pool with additional slides, toys, balls. It is equally important to choose the right swimsuit: comfortable and of high quality.
Children's playhouse: choosing material
Surely, every owner has an idea about the technique of building a children's house. First of all, you need to correctly draw up a plan and decide on materials.
Plan 1
The children's structure can be not only wooden, but also cardboard. Although wood, as a raw material for construction, is optimal for many reasons:
- wood, unlike cardboard, is more durable and strong (which is important for building a children's playhouse);
- wood suggests the possibility of decorating with beautiful carved elements, which is very attractive to the child;
- Definitely, a wooden building is more aesthetically pleasing than a cardboard product.
But still, even despite the advantages of wood as a material for building a children's playhouse, it is necessary to determine the location of the future structure. And here, many parents believe that a cardboard or fabric tent would still be the best option for an apartment. They will take up much less space, their construction will not bring a lot of waste, and if necessary, removing such a structure will be much easier.
Small dacha: interior for trips out of town, and not only
One-story cottages with a low roof are ideal for creating studios. As a rule, the kitchen in them is organized in the form of the letter “P”. Next to the shelves and cabinets there can be a bedside table and a small soft corner, which sometimes serves as a sleeping place.
Another successful stylistic move for small interiors is a narrow layout. A niche is created under the roof for sleeping, and the oblong kitchen is partially hidden in the walls. This frees up space for movement, gatherings and interests. Modular, folding furniture and built-in household appliances are also becoming a godsend.
In small two-story cottages they also try to achieve a natural, simple atmosphere. No European-quality renovation, no expensive shiny coatings, tiles, marble, decorative panels.
Often they get by with painting, plaster, brickwork or washable wallpaper from the middle price category, or a wooden frame.
About profession and inspiration
My path to interior design may seem strange at first glance. Nevertheless, I am convinced that everything in life is natural. And if something changes in your life in the most unpredictable way, then it’s time to think about why you came into this world and whether you are doing the right thing.
Having received two higher education diplomas from prestigious universities in the capital (Moscow Medical Academy and MGIMO) and having built a successful career in the field of marketing and PR over ten years, I did not feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, success beckoned forward to new strategic goals, tempting with a new bonus system, enchanting prospects and other joys of a top manager.
But having become completely fascinated by the interior of my apartment, I realized that this is a whole wonderful world in which I feel so comfortable and joyful. Then friends and acquaintances began asking for advice and help in design, then friends of friends.
At some point, I realized that by turning your hobby into a job, you can become a truly happy person. All the skills and abilities acquired through professional experience turned out to be very useful, and I very quickly found use for them.
I lacked other skills, but I'm not afraid of being a perpetual student. Private lessons from an architect, lectures on the history of interiors and object design, master classes from architects and designers helped to replenish the missing knowledge, and trips to international interior exhibitions and a love of travel became a source of inspiration.

Decorating a country bedroom
This room can also perform several functions, for example, combine a sleeping area, a work area, and a play area. If there is a lack of square meters, you only need to worry about a comfortable sleeping place, so that nothing distracts or interferes. When installing a wooden or iron bed, it is better to look for models with drawers, a hinged wardrobe or a chest of drawers, designed in the same style.
The color is chosen based on the size and location of the room. In small and poorly lit rooms, dark shades should not be used. They will take away the already missing space and create an oppressive rather than a peaceful atmosphere. Too rich and bright colors will also negatively affect your physical and mental state. Designers recommend focusing on bedding colors; this is a win-win option.
The floor in a classic country interior is wooden, while in a modern one it is made of laminate. The walls are painted or covered with wallpaper, decorated with clapboard. To visually raise the ceiling, vertical boards are used, and horizontal boards are used to expand the walls. The decor includes original pillows, carpets, bedspreads and blankets, as well as candles, floral arrangements, family photos, living bouquets in beautiful vases.
The kitchen in the country should be functional and accommodate all the necessary equipment, a table, a set of cabinets and communications. A stone or tiled tabletop, good curtains, a tablecloth, a samovar or painted saucers with cups and plates will come in handy.
A rustic-style living room cannot be imagined without log walls, antique furniture with carpets, a stove or fireplace.
Here you will see a massive table, chairs, a large sofa, table service, and unobtrusive paintings.
And the most optimal design solution is to combine the living room and kitchen. It's comfortable, fresh and gives a flight of fancy.
