Every child should have personal space. A children's room equipped with beautiful furniture is a special world in which a girl will feel like a little princess and create her own order. In childhood, the basic principles of life are laid down, and it is then that you need to teach the baby to independently put away her things and toys, take care of them and store them in the proper places.
In this article we will tell you how to choose a spacious wardrobe for a girl, what types there are in design, color, fronts and content, and how to arrange furniture in the nursery. Let's take a look at the table of popular models from which you can choose a real assistant in storing things for your daughter.
A wardrobe for a girl should be combined with the design of the room
Types of children's wardrobes
You might think that buying a special children's furniture model does not make sense. We go to the store and choose a suitable cabinet based on price and size. But if you are reading this article, it means you still want to find the best option for your requirements. Let's consider the selection criteria from three categories.
For clothes
A wardrobe should be comfortable and pleasing to the eye. Not only spaciousness is important, but also appearance: bright colors, cheerful pictures, shades that fit into the style of the room, much better than a standard brown wardrobe.
A beautiful pattern on the front of the cabinet is an integral part of the children's room
Typically, tall structures with mezzanines are used for clothing. Linen and out-of-season clothes are folded at the top so that they do not take up space in the main department. Usually these things are removed by the child’s mother when they become needed, so they belong on the mezzanine. In the largest department, the child hangs formal, beautiful clothes, which should always be neat, well-groomed and unwrinkled.
The cabinet itself must be stable and durable. If a girl wants to reach the top shelf, she can stand on the bottom - and it will be safe. For a very young child, it is best to have a mini-closet where he can store mainly small things: handkerchiefs, underwear. For small items in large cabinets there are special separate drawers.

For books
There are separate bookcases for books. They contain many sections, shelves and drawers where you can store not only literature, but also notebooks, stationery, creative tools - plasticine, paints, wax and regular pencils, brushes, boards. Such cabinets are universal - they are suitable for everything, but only except clothes.
Often these models look like a tall bookcase or a rack with sliding doors. Their main feature is quick access to any book, notebook or album. And if free space appears inside, it can be filled with additional things: figurines, pencil cases, beauty products. You can also store a girl’s school bag, handbags and clutches there if there is no other suitable place.
A child definitely needs a section for books and toys.
For toys
Toys fill a child’s room, and with every holiday or arrival of guests there are more and more of them. To organize and structure games, it would be advisable to buy a closet for a girl’s room in which she can store plush toys, plastic figurines, Barbie dolls, cars, construction sets, board games, etc. If she learns from early childhood to put personal things on shelves, this will It can even turn into a game.

If a girl has a lot of large toys, then a wardrobe in the form of a pencil case in the ceiling will be convenient for her. All of them will be protected from dust, and the child can easily take them out at any time. Such a closet must have at least one drawer for small items. A regular cabinet with shelves is ideal for board games. If a girl is interested in them, and she has a lot of such games, then a cabinet with longitudinal, actually bookshelves, will suit her. A good option is to put boxes of board games in a bookcase if there is enough free space.
Recommendations for use
When choosing a method for decorating a mirror surface, carefully consider the consequences: the finished design can only be changed along with the entire canvas. Hidden fasteners are stronger and more aesthetically pleasing. Do not skimp on the protective coating: this will increase the reliability of the fragile mirror, its service life and increase the safety of furniture for small children and pets. Check the presence of sligels (small brushes with artificial bristles or strips of porous rubber) at the ends and joints of the door flaps, which soften the sharpness of opening, absorb shock, and prevent the door from derailing. The grooves and rollers of the cabinet require regular cleaning with a vacuum cleaner. It is better to entrust the cabinet assembly to professionals, which takes from one and a half to six hours. If your room is less than 20 square meters
m., then pay attention to the corner cabinet with a mirror. Reflective and glass surfaces are cleaned using special detergents. Also try not to touch the mirrors with your fingers, which will leave greasy marks.
The cabinet material can only be wiped with a dry cloth. Do not place heating devices near furniture. Protect the cabinet from direct sunlight, sudden changes in temperature and humidity.
Mirrored cabinets will become a beautiful and practical piece of furniture and will not only help you comfortably accommodate a large number of things, but will also visually increase the space of the room and add zest, charm and sophistication to the interior.
Design and color
Experts recommend creating a wardrobe design in accordance with the interior: the wardrobe should be made in lighter colors than the room. A great option is white. This color fits into any style and goes with all shades. If you get tired of the pure white facade, you can decorate it with pictures drawn by a child, decorative stickers, and photographs. At the same time, it is important that the remaining parts of the furniture are not white, otherwise there may be a feeling of a hospital room, which is not very comfortable for the child. And white surfaces require frequent maintenance. But these can be made in a newborn’s room.
A lot of bright colors are also bad. Let there be just a few catchy color accents in the room. For example, pastel wallpaper colors, a light bed, a beige table and a red or sunny yellow wardrobe go well together. There are many ideas, but it is best to consult with designers who will give you the right advice.
Bright colors of furniture, as well as mirrors, are important for girls
Color solutions
Of course, the color and stylistic design of the facade must coincide with the overall design of the interior. It doesn't have to be bright and flashy colors.
For a nursery decorated in pastel colors, facades in muted shades of pink, brown, and beige are well suited. A plain panel can be complemented with elegant ornaments or mirror inserts.
When decorating a bright room, you can use a facade with a pattern or photo printing. The child himself can choose the drawing he likes, here the imagination is limitless: sea and air ships, cartoon characters, colorful butterflies, flower arrangements, etc. You can combine the print with a design made of mirrors or frosted glass, if the cabinet is wide enough.

With a minimalist design, you can use the basic colors of the interior and paint laminated chipboard panels in them, use colored glass or plastic. A sliding wardrobe can also become an accent of the interior; in this case, you need to use colors that contrast with the design of the room. For example, a room in blue colors would suit a closet with an orange or yellow door.
When choosing facades in light shades: white, light yellow, pink, etc., you should take care of the quality of the material; it should be moisture resistant and easy to clean.
Filling
In addition to a beautiful facade and bright colors, the closet should have a sufficient number of convenient compartments that will be useful for the child for storing personal belongings. To keep toys, clothes, books, collectible figures, school items and stationery, linen, etc. in order.
Open shelving for a clean child
The closet needs pipes for hanging skirts, blouses, trousers, dresses, which must be on hangers and in proper shape, so that the girl can choose and wear clothes to school or for a walk without ironing or other fuss. This hanging structure on hangers will help you quickly find the item you need.
It is important for a girl to have a large space in her closet for clothes.
Don’t forget about the shelves where you put casual, wrinkle-free and home clothes. Mezzanines are also useful, where the child’s bedding sets will be stored. And underwear, socks, scarves are in the lower drawers of small format.
Only mom can reach the top hangers
Larger boxes are for toys. They replace untidy cardboard boxes and baskets that clutter the room. There are separate shelves for books. You can use the same drawers to store notebooks, drawing kits, and albums.
For girl
Here it is better to choose light pastel colors: peach, turquoise, lavender, light pink. Warm and cold shades are suitable, depending on the wishes of the child. If you choose photo printing, then images of your favorite cartoon characters or fairy tales, flowers and landscapes are suitable.
Mirror design is suitable for teenagers; at this age children are very attentive to their person. The mirror can be complemented with floral patterns or colored stickers.
In the internal structure of the closet, special attention should be paid to the compartment with rods; you can make it more spacious for various dresses and skirts. You can choose a model with the ability to change filling elements; this option will last longer and will be convenient at any age.
If there are empty spaces at the bottom of the cabinet, they can be filled with rectangular or square wicker baskets. It is worth taking care about the arrangement of shoes. At the bottom there will be special hooks or lattices for shoes, sandals or boots. Wide drawers can accommodate fabric modules for various jewelry, elastic bands and hairpins. This move will allow you not to keep all the decorations in one pile.
On the open side module you can place photographs, souvenirs or vases with shells and flowers.
How to arrange a closet in a nursery?
It all depends on the model and design of the cabinet. There are types that need to be placed in the room according to their format:
- Classical. A separate module can be installed anywhere in the nursery, where it will look good and not take up much space. It is convenient due to its portability and choice of installation options. However, incorrect placement can create a feeling of bulkiness. The usual place is near a wall or in a corner. This could be a small pencil case or a large full-wall model for two girls.
Drawings on the facade can be made voluminous - Built-in.
Usually placed in a niche, in unusual places that should be used functionally. Such models come in non-standard shapes and fit where rectangular furniture would not fit. The older the girl, the more things need to be stored in the closet - Angular.
For such a model, there is actually no choice where to put it. A more convenient design for a small nursery, where every meter is calculated. Spacious, yet takes up minimal space. Make good lighting in the children's room
Configuration options
A corner cabinet can be an excellent solution, the main thing is to think through and choose its most suitable configuration.
The most common corner cabinets are:
L-shaped
This is a fairly compact version of the corner design. Its two parts are located at right angles. It is better to choose sliding or folding doors, which will also save room space.
Diagonal
This is a more impressive, bulky design. Doors in this version are often hinged. It is very roomy, but due to its large dimensions, it may not be suitable for a small child's room.
Diagonal with central transition section
This option combines the advantages of the first two designs. In it, straight parts are connected by a corner diagonal module. Doors can also be combined: in straight sections - sliding, in diagonal sections - hinged.
Popular models - how to choose
- The material must be safe and environmentally friendly. More often they buy models made from chipboard or MDF - they do not affect health, do not cause allergic reactions, and are inexpensive (when compared to wood).
- Functionality is a quality that is much more important than aesthetic appeal and unusual design. It should not be difficult for a child to open doors and remove drawers. Drawers require a built-in installation with a stopper to hold the structure together with the contents.
- Durability and reliability are significant criteria. After all, an active girl can hide in the closet while playing. The lower shelves must be able to support a lot of weight.
- The child should like the appearance - consult him about what design will be on the facade, what colors please him. And this is much more important than the harmony of the closet with the interior.
- For teenagers and older girls, you need to opt for a more “adult” design with spacious drawers and a large department for clothes.
It is better to order models of wardrobes for children according to a separately created project. If you make furniture to order, you can save a lot by paying only up to 5,000 rubles. You can rely on models of wardrobes for adults.

conclusions
- The defining moments in choosing a wardrobe for a girl are spaciousness, convenience, functionality and safety, and appearance.
- Furniture materials for children should, of course, be natural and safe for health.
- A cabinet can be a bright accent in a room with neutral tones. But you shouldn’t overload the children’s room with brightness, as this is hard on the child’s psyche.
- Choose cabinets for specific purposes, take into account your daughter’s hobbies, the number of things in her room that need careful storage.
Where to put it?
The correct location of the cabinet with a mirror plays a very important role. It would be good to place a mirror sheet opposite the window. This will not only look more advantageous, but will also help increase the lighting in the room. Daylight will be reflected and scattered around the room. The space will visually increase, which is especially important for small apartments.
The closet can be placed directly opposite the front door. Of course, this may seem like a bold option, but still such an arrangement has its advantages. This will help to further zone the space (for example, in a small studio apartment).
