Interesting techniques for zoning space
Zoning in the nursery occurs with the help of furniture, partitions, and a combination of different types of flooring. This allows you to delimit places for games, relaxation, and activities in the child’s multifunctional room.
WESTWING professionals offer creative ideas that allow you to effectively delimit the areas of your child’s various activities.
The bedroom can be easily defined with a black or white bed. For its decor, you should choose bed linen with an expressive large pattern in black and white. Give preference to children's themes: animal figures, transport, letters or numbers. This design looks simple, stylish and concise.
A carpet with contrasting graphic or floral prints is ideal for the play area. Not only the classic black and white combination looks attractive, but also black and orange children's rooms.
Designate a study area by adapting one of the walls, in whole or in part, to accommodate a dark board. Equip it with a special stand in which you can store colorful crayons or markers. The child will be happy to write and draw in a place specially designed for this.
Option for choosing the color of children's furniture
As for furniture, it is better to choose neutral shades for the children's bedroom. This way, even if you want to renovate and repaint the room, you won’t have to change the furniture.

The best option is the color of natural wood. If the bedroom is made in warm shades, then it can be yellowish-brown wood, sunny and warm, with a beautiful varnished surface. Light sand, soft beige or even white furniture is suitable for almost any interior.

Expressive contrast
The style for a black nursery can be chosen according to your preferences. A contrasting solution is appropriate when decorating a nursery according to the laws of modernism and art deco, minimalism and Provence, fusion and Scandinavian style.
The young princess will certainly be interested in the weightless glamorous design of the nursery, designed in the art deco style. The room looks great, the walls, floor and ceiling are made in pure white. A contrast to it will be the filigree frame of the mirror and the picture frame, painted in a charcoal shade. The feeling of airiness is achieved with the help of suitable textiles. Using translucent dark chiffon or voile for sewing bedspreads and curtains, you will achieve a stunning effect of lightness. If desired, it can be enhanced by adding a romantic canopy made of the same fabric to the bed. Pink decorative pillows will add a touch of glamor, which should be used to decorate a bed or armchair.
Small children's rooms for girls are an excellent space to decorate in Provence style. A wrought-iron bed will fit well into the soft colors of the girl’s possessions. A poster made using the graphic technique and successfully placed above the dressing table will become a suitable companion to a young lady’s bed. A pair of black wooden chairs, complemented by fabric cushions that match the color of the bedspread, will complete the design.
The boy will love the spacious children's room in a minimalist style. Decorate the wall with horizontal black stripes and repeat this pattern in other interior elements, such as a floor rug. Add accents with details by choosing bright furniture for the nursery or decorating it with richly colored curtains.
The skillful use of black in the interior of a nursery is not only stylish, but also functional.
. Caring parents are well aware of their children’s ineradicable desire for artistic creativity.

Light floor
Dark floors add some “elephantity” to dark-hued furniture. The floor covering, made in light colors, has a refreshing effect on the atmosphere. You should opt for the wooden texture of floors in natural colors; ceramic tiles in nude tones look advantageous. Gray shades of flooring are also a winning option. Do not neglect light-colored linoleum or laminate.
The contrasting floor seems to “lift” the furniture from the ground, adding airiness to the surrounding environment. If it is not possible to carry out radical renovation work in a room, a real magic wand comes to the rescue in the form of carpet in natural shades, a delicate carpet. It is preferable to choose a carpet; it has an undoubted advantage - ease of cleaning, which is important for soiled, light-colored items.
Style selection
The interior style can be varied, depending on your preferences, fantasies, and designer capabilities. Each design direction has its own characteristic features. Choosing a style is a crucial moment. The following options are possible:
A dark bedroom should not be overloaded with unnecessary interior items.
Varieties of tone
Many people prefer sets made of natural wood or a material that differs little from the real thing with a noble shade. A variety of dark furniture colors can be as follows:
The scheme of combining several color contrasts, consisting of three colors (blue, red and yellow; green, purple and orange) is simple. When creating a complex, bright interior without experience in color, it will be difficult and necessary to contact a designer.
If you have no experience in color design, it is better to entrust the design of a bedroom with dark furniture to specialists.
Pastel colors add calm and sophistication. It is wise to use a gradual transition in color schemes, dark, gray and light tones.
White walls
Light walls help remove the overall oppressive atmosphere, the heaviness inherent in interiors decorated with furniture sets in dark shades. It is absolutely not necessary to stop at the snow-white decorative covering of the walls; you can refine the decoration with a shade of ivory, add vanilla notes to the color; ivory will never go out of fashion.
Light walls visually expand the enclosed space; against their background, the furniture looks more solid and more expensive. An interior enhanced by the contrast of dark furniture with light pastel walls will be especially elegant, sophisticated and at the same time laconic and light.
