Furniture in a children's room for a girl
Furniture in a girl's nursery is very important. This concept includes:
- Bed;
- Closet;
- Table;
- Bookcase or shelves for books (depending on the size of the room).
Kids grow up quickly, so furniture should be suitable for both a little girl and a teenager. As the child grows up, the room can be easily remodeled to suit any age. This has its benefits for parents:
- Save time. There is no need to re-look for design solutions.
- Saving money. As the child grows up, the necessary furniture is not purchased, but complemented with suitable accessories.
Furniture for children will need to be donated to relatives or sold through an advertisement, and the money and time spent, of course, will not pay off.
A bed for any age
It is better to take a one-and-a-half size bed. It is suitable for both a little girl and a teenager. Usually, a limiter in the form of a removable bar is attached to the side of the bed for the safety of the baby. It can be easily unscrewed when not needed.
- Also, a bed for children of this age is complemented by a sliding ladder or other details.
- Bed linen with your favorite cartoon characters, a bedspread of the desired color, stickers or appliques - all this will help in your design decision.
Wardrobe for clothes, for books
The wardrobe also occupies one of the main positions in the girl’s room. Depending on the age, it is supplemented with stickers of cartoon characters, flower appliqués or other patterns. A functional solution is mezzanines where seasonal items are stored.
- A bookcase with shelves is convenient because it can accommodate not only books, but also board games, boxes with small construction kit parts, and a small doll corner.
- Wall shelves or a light plastic chest of drawers will replace a closet in a small room.
A girl needs a small folding table and chairs for creative activities and doll tea parties. Later it will be replaced by a study table or a student’s corner.
Room layout
A children's bedroom in a classic style requires proper zoning of the room. The first step here is to organize a workplace for creative activities. A play space can be located not far from it.
In the interior of a classic children's room, special attention is paid to the sleeping area. To do this, choose a spacious bed made of natural solid wood.
Modern product models have a spacious storage system in the lower part of the structure. It helps to arrange bedding and various small items.
Natural-based building materials are chosen for finishing walls and ceilings. These are mainly paper wallpaper, water-based paint and decorative plaster. They do not emit chemical compounds upon contact with room air.
Floors, walls, window, door
The door and floors should be in harmony with the interior of the children's room. It is better to choose natural materials in light shades. Small children love to play on the floor, so the free space does not need to be cluttered.
The coating should not be slippery. The carpet in a children's room for girls is better washable and has short pile.
- Paper wallpaper in light colors is often chosen for walls, especially if your child is a little artist. Subsequently, they can be easily re-glued without much expense.
- A creative corner is required where the child can show off his achievements. Works can be attached to the wall with tape or other materials. They also use various applications and stickers that are interesting to your child. Photo wallpaper is suitable for older children's rooms.
- It is better to choose curtains in neutral shades that match the overall color scheme. A child's drawing on the fabric will cheer up the baby, but later, as your child grows up, the curtains will have to be changed. Curtains should allow daylight to pass through well.
Style Features
There are certain rules of traditional classic design that are important to follow. If you don’t do this, then instead of a luxurious royal interior you will get complete bad taste.
- Only expensive natural materials are used in interior decoration.
- The surface of the walls is perfectly smooth in calm colors. Special wallpaper for children's rooms is suitable. If finances allow, the walls are decorated with natural wood panels or fabric panels.
- The ceiling is white.
- The floors are dark parquet and natural wool carpet.
- The furniture pieces have an elegant appearance.
- Decorative elements: stucco molding, columns, baguettes, moldings, as well as niches and luxurious cornices.
- Expensive textiles: silk, satin, tapestry, velvet and brocade.
- The color palette is quite restrained, close to natural tones. “Gold”, “bronze” and “patina” are used as finishing.
- The interior composition follows strict rules. Symmetry and the presence of a compositional center in the arrangement of objects are encouraged.
Materials
A distinctive feature of a children's interior in a classic style is parquet flooring. Its different options are allowed: mosaic (composited), panel panels or piece. For a children's room, you can make an exception and have a parquet floor in light colors. For walls, paper or non-woven wallpaper is often used, especially intended for children's rooms.
A feature of the classic style is the use of parquet for flooring.
If you prefer wall panels, then use natural wood or fabric (silk, cotton or viscose).
Wall panels made of natural wood or fabric are also used in this interior.
The ceiling is white. For painting we use special paint for children's rooms. Furniture made of natural wood with soft upholstery. And the fabric decor in the interior (curtains, bedspreads, pillows) is natural. In a little lady's room, brocade is sometimes used for pillows and bedspreads.
The walls should be smooth, painted in soothing colors. It is possible to use special wallpaper for children's rooms.
Window decoration is a different story. You can’t just use curtains and tulle; complex multi-layer designs made of tulle, cotton, linen or wool are more often used.
When decorating the walls in the nursery, you can use paper or non-woven wallpaper, specially made for children's rooms.
Color
Undoubtedly, the main color for classics is white, and the children's room is no exception. But it is better to use not the snow-white version, but its calm shades: jasmine, milky, ivory. Blue, olive, mint, lilac and beige perfectly complement the interior decoration. More saturated and active colors are used as accents: coffee, purple, dark green and violet. But even accent colors should not be flashy; use their noble “relatives”.
If you want to decorate your children's bedroom in a classic design, start by choosing a color scheme.
Acid colors are never used. But the contrasting combination of black and white has a right to exist in the classics. Also, the color of natural wood is considered an obligatory companion.
In all sets, the most saturated color should be present in the room in the smallest proportion, only for accents.
Decor
The chandelier must be attached to a stucco rosette. Moldings are often used to create rectangular outlines on the walls. An important condition: they must be the same size and located symmetrically. The corners of the rectangles are decorated with moldings with curved lines to create a kind of monogram. And the style is based on exquisite furniture and expensive textiles.
For a classic room, they often choose furniture in the English style - a high bed with legs, a double-door wardrobe, a chest of drawers with many drawers, chairs with bent legs.
Another key point is lighting. Usually the main light source - a chandelier - is mounted in the center of the ceiling. Secondary lighting fixtures, such as sconces or floor lamps, are installed either on the bedside table or attached to the walls.
It is advisable to place a carpet in pastel colors on top of the parquet to make the children's room more comfortable.
The central chandelier for a classic interior should be special. Either with crystal pendants or an eye-catching fabric lampshade. Additional lighting fixtures should be in harmony with the main one.
A classic interior excludes an abundance of trinkets, as in a French-style room, and things of an oriental or ethnic origin do not go well with it.
Jewelry and accessories
It is very important to decorate a girl's nursery. You can make an imitation of the starry sky using foil, foamiran or other materials. The stars and the month are suspended on a thin fishing line, invisible to the eye. You can make stencils yourself. The child will be pleased to be in such a room, since toys made by the hands of mom and dad emit special energy.
Balloons and large pompoms are only suitable for special occasions.
We add or remove bright accessories as the child grows older or as desired. This could be a bright pink ottoman, a soft fluffy chair in the shape of a sun or a ladybug. If the size of the room allows, a house or tent, a swing, a slide, a doll corner with a crib and its own kitchen.
Finishes and materials
Finishing materials for a children's room should be as safe as possible. Some solutions may seem banal, but they have been tested by time and practice for good reason.
Floor
A win-win floor covering is a carpet or any variation thereof. It is more difficult to care for, but it warms and softens the blows when falling.
As an alternative, consider laminate flooring. Just choose wear-resistant and moisture-resistant collections in case a child tries to scratch, paint or spill something on it.
Ceiling
There are three traditional options for decorating the ceiling:
— Whitewashing or painting, if the surface is smooth and prepared; — Plasterboard structures for creating fancy-shaped ceilings. An interesting option for complex styles and themed children's; — Stretch ceilings with a delicate satin, elegant matte or bright glossy texture. They are especially good for small rooms when you need to visually enlarge the space. Stretch ceilings with the effect of a starry sky or clouds look interesting.
Walls
The choice of wall materials is almost unlimited. The most convenient solution is regular painting. It’s faster and cheaper, a young artist won’t ruin expensive wallpaper if she wants to paint on it, and if necessary, it’s easy to completely repaint the walls over the top.
If you want, use wallpaper, but then it’s better to choose those that can be washed or painted. They are much easier to care for, and the nursery will always look neat.
Safety
The children's room should be safe first and foremost. Use special soft corners on furniture, locks on windows, locks on cabinets. They are secured with a key, and the child will not be able to climb into places he doesn’t need to.
Screw all tall furniture, especially shelves, to the walls or fix them in any other way. If the little traveler wants to climb up, she will not turn the cabinets over on herself.
Room design depending on the child’s hobbies and age
The design of the room largely depends on the child’s hobbies.
- "Little Princess". If your child likes princess heroines from Disney cartoons, it is enough to use stickers and applications on furniture on this topic, choose bed linen with a picture of your favorite princess, an airy bedspread and even a removable canopy.
- "Young Naturalist" The room is decorated with shades of green in light tones, appliqués and stickers in the form of trees, flowers, and animals. Photo wallpapers in the theme will look good.
- “Cartoon lover.” “Be-Be-Bears”, “Three Cats”, “Barboskins” and other famous cartoons bring a lot of joy to your child. Then the parents decorate the room with drawings, crafts, and embroidery of their own making. We feel free to include the baby in such activities. Unforgettable emotions await you.
- "Classic". If your child is not particularly interested in anything or his preferences often change, then we add decorations and accessories as needed.
The age of the child also affects the design of the room.
- 3-5 years - less clutter, dust collectors in the form of soft toys;
- 6-8 years - the beginning of school time. A reception area is required, a sofa and a tea table are added.
- 9-12 years old - during this period, when changing the design, be sure to consult with your child.
Color variations
The classic style is characterized by calm, elegant colors. Shades of white look especially elegant and noble - milky, pearl, ivory, beige or jasmine will set your child in a restrained, romantic mood. A good idea would be to dilute light shades with gray, brown, and olive.
When choosing a color scheme, you need to remember that the room is, after all, a child’s room - this means that adult, serious colors should be diluted with something more cheerful. Pastel shades of bright colors would be appropriate - soft yellow, light green, blue, mint. A combination of shades of white with pink, lavender or cream will fit perfectly into girls' rooms.
Colors that dilute the tranquility of the classics can also be bright. However, in the case of using bright colors, it is better to opt for noble and complex shades - deep turquoise, mustard yellow, peach, purple. Acid, flashy and too simple colors are contraindicated!
Children's room for two girls
A children's room for two girls has its own characteristics.
- For twins or the same age, it is better to install identical beds and wardrobes or one large wardrobe divided into two parts.
- The girls' room, five years apart, uses a bunk bed.
If there is a larger difference between the girls (teenager and toddler), a fold-out sofa is installed.
Undoubtedly, it will not be difficult for you to choose the necessary design of a children's room for a girl. Using our advice, you can easily and quickly choose what you and your child need. Good luck!
Characteristic features of the classic style in the interior
The interior in a classic style is practically unaffected by time. In a modern interior, you can use some accents or fully implement the traditional direction. Designers identify many directions, but for each of them there are relevant general principles.
Children's rooms can have the characteristic features of the classics:
- a central piece of the composition is used, around which the rest of the furniture is built;
- the rule of clear geometry and symmetry is implemented;
- the main and additional light sources are installed;
- natural and decorative materials are used in decoration - stone, textiles, gypsum, precious metals, wood.
A classic children's room differs depending on the choice of style. Classicism is characterized by asceticism and modesty. The interior in the Baroque and Rococo style is characterized by luxury, furniture made of precious wood, and natural fabrics in the design.
