Photo: design-homes.ru Children grow quickly, and their interests and preferences change even faster. And all this needs to be taken into account when planning children's leisure time. And also when arranging a room. For nimble and active boys, it is important to leave enough space, but at the same time combine it with practicality and functionality!
Interior taking into account the age of the child
When designing the interior of a nursery, think about the needs of your child, taking into account his age. For example, a newborn will need a crib, and all other accessories are needed for the convenience of the parents. With preschoolers and teenagers the situation is radically different.
Children's room for boys up to 3 years old
To decorate such a room, choose soft, light, pastel colors. In the first years, children are especially sensitive to external stimuli. In particular, to bright aggressive colors and too flashy details. But avoid excessive monotony. The child is just beginning to explore the world. He learns to distinguish shades, textures, objects, and highlight what he likes. That is why in the nursery for the youngest boys there is always room for a huge number of fun stickers, educational toys, and educational games.
Be sure to choose a comfortable crib. The best thing is adjustable and collapsible. This way you won't have to change it every few months. With the rest of the furniture, focus on yourself: a changing table, cabinets, drawers and chests for storing things.
The main thing is safety. Avoid breakable materials and sharp corners. Use special rubber pads and safety nets. There is a warm, soft carpet on the floor of the bed: this will keep the baby warmer and safer. It is better to choose a covering that can be easily removed and washed.

At this time, the tastes and personality of the child are formed. He already has his own preferences and interests. Take his opinion into account when decorating the space.
Take care of a small workspace. After all, preschoolers often strive to quickly join the adult world. At the same time, this will be an excellent corner for creativity.
To decorate a children's room, choose materials that are easy to wash, clean or change. For example, the easiest way is to simply paint the walls. If your child paints them, over time you will be able to paint them over again without much trouble or effort.
Choose furniture by size. This applies to everything, including cabinets and shelving. After all, from this age it’s time to teach a boy to order. This means giving him the opportunity to put away his things and manage them independently.
Design of a room for a schoolchild
School everyday life completely changes a child’s lifestyle. Therefore, at this time it is impossible to do without serious repairs and renovation of the room. Be sure to take care of a comfortable workplace, cabinets, shelves and drawers for books, notebooks and accessories.
At this age, a child can already determine for himself what he needs and is interested in. Be sure to include him in the repairs. Don't forget about hobbies and leisure time. Set up a sports corner, a creative workshop, leave room for musical instruments or an easel. The design is gradually becoming more serious and “adult”. Many children are beginning to gradually abandon cartoon images and strive for more adult styles.
You can combine business with pleasure. The starry sky, a world map, animals, dinosaurs, cars, ships and much more - all these are interesting and educational elements that can be used in the interior of a room for a schoolboy.
Teen room
Adolescence is the most difficult age. During this period, all wishes regarding design and style are expressed by the child. Parents can only smooth out the rough edges and slightly adjust their son’s wishes.

To decorate the walls, you should choose light or pastel wallpaper. No children's drawings. The child has already grown up. An excellent solution would be to decorate one of the walls with a canvas with a pattern, for example, photo wallpaper.
In principle, imagination is limited only by the budget and preferences of the owners.
Arrangement of a sports corner
Active and active boys definitely need movement. Physical activity is the key to good health and development.
If the size of the room allows, install a small sports corner in it. It is mounted to the wall or ceiling using mechanical fasteners and spacers. At first, the child will master it under your supervision, but soon the young athlete will cope on his own.
Such corners are designed to be as safe as possible. But the child grows healthy and flexible. Muscles develop better, the spine becomes stronger, coordination and dexterity improve.
There are two types of sports corners:
— L-shaped ones are more compact. Typically they include a horizontal bar, Swedish ladder, rings, ropes, trapezoids, abdominal boards and other hanging elements.
— U-shaped systems are larger and more powerful. In addition to the above, they may have a net, monkey bars, or even a swing. However, the equipment is always selected individually.

The nursery should reflect his individual preferences. It is imperative to have a work corner where the young creator will draw, sculpt or improve other skills.
Of course, don't forget about storage space for toys.

Transformable furniture for children's rooms
Multifunctional transformable furniture is an economical and practical solution for any small space. Now these are beautiful and bright multitasking solutions that delight children.
One complete set can combine a bed, bedside table, desk, wardrobe, drawers and shelves. Most often these are two-tier structures. The bed is either on the second floor or pulls out from below.
The main advantage of such smart designs is saving space in the children's room. This means the child can calmly play, play sports, have fun and have fun with friends.
Color selection
The classic approach “blue for boys, pink for girls” in interior design has long since become obsolete. Each child has his own preferences and tastes. Focus on them!
White children's room
A lot of white in a boy’s nursery is not the most practical and overly sterile option. It definitely needs to be diluted with accents!
At the same time, white and its shades are a win-win base for interiors in almost any style. And it will make even a small children’s room visually larger, more spacious, lighter and airier.
Gray children's room
Gray is a more interesting and modern alternative to white. Use it in all its variety: from light or steel to dark graphite.
This design will please schoolchildren who quickly want everything “like adults.” It looks strict, serious, fashionable and modern at the same time.
A gray loft-style children's room will appeal to older students and teenagers. The same range is ideal for high-tech, futurism, space and technological interiors. In addition, gray, like white, can be combined with any color accents.
Green children's room
Fresh, spring green is one of the most natural shades. Every psychologist will tell you about its positive impact on the psyche.
This is a calm and at the same time tonic color. It will fit perfectly into the interior of a boy’s nursery, based on natural materials. And green landscapes or photo wallpapers will delight young lovers of nature and hiking.
Blue children's room
Shades of blue can be any: from pastel cornflower blue to the dark and rich sea or starry sky. This range is good for decorating space interiors or a nursery in a pirate style.
Blue shades are calming and relaxing. This is especially valuable for hyperactive children.
Purple children's room
Purple is the color of creativity, fantasy and imagination. This children's room design will appeal to young dreamers.
Avoid shades that are too aggressive. But complex and complex ones, from pastel lilacs to juicy grapes or eggplants, look very fresh and interesting.
Brown children's room
If a boy has been drawn to calm styles since childhood, loves history, and reads his favorite British detective stories, then he will definitely be pleased with a strict classic room.
In classic interiors, the main thing is not to overdo it! Still, the nursery should not be too heavy and overloaded. But you can safely use individual elements: parquet, dark wood, massive furniture, clear shapes or symmetrical arrangement.
Red children's room
Red as the main color is not the best option for a room where a boy will sleep and study. But some bright accents are very good in fashionable modern styles.
A bright red bean bag chair will perfectly complement the loft design of the nursery. Colorful posters and playbills will decorate the room of a young comic book lover, and photo wallpapers with a red London bus or a telephone booth will impress growing English lovers.

Color combinations
Pink and lilac are considered traditional girlish colors, so when decorating a boy’s room you should avoid them. Otherwise, there are no restrictions, but in order for the design to be harmonious, it will not be amiss to adhere to the general rules:
- White color is the basis of everything. A white ceiling, walls and furniture are the perfect canvas against which all other colors and decor will look great.
- As an additional color for white, you can choose light gray or black. But you shouldn’t overdo it with the latter, especially in a preschooler’s room.
- Avoid overly bright, loud colors such as red or orange. Their abundance in the interior excites the psyche, and can also get boring very quickly.
- Choose two, maximum three primary colors to decorate the room and try to select all the decoration and decor in this range.
- Pastel, slightly muted shades in the interior always look more advantageous and “expensive” than pure colors.
Examples of successful color combinations for a boy’s room:
- grey, pastel blue and blue;
- white, brown, lemon yellow;
- white, mustard, gray-green;
- white and turquoise;
- grey, olive and black.
Interior styles
When choosing the style of a children's room for a boy, also take into account the preferences and interests of your child. Even 5-year-old children already have their own tastes - like adults, they can love both historical classics and modern technologies.
Classic style
A children's room in a classic style may appeal to older boys. This design is strict, laconic and reminiscent of adult rooms.
In the nursery, it is better to do without complex and fragile decor. But massive wooden furniture, symmetry, clear lines, restrained colors are beautiful and functional.
Loft
Many boys unconditionally love loft-style interiors. They are attracted by the atmosphere of an abandoned creative workshop, raw textures, brickwork, and open communications.
The loft is also good for your own children's experiments. You can safely draw on the walls, use your own crafts, and not be afraid of ruining rare or expensive furniture. The main thing is to take care of the safety of the finish.
Futurism
Futurism is the aesthetics of new technologies, computers, spaceships and scientific research. The interior of the children's room will combine notes of high-tech and creative avant-garde. This design is intended to inspire new achievements, exploration and knowledge of the modern world.
Minimalism
Minimalism in the interior of a boy’s nursery is good for several reasons. It's simple to create and easy to update as your child grows. The absence of unnecessary details means safety, order and at the same time freedom of expression for the child.
It is easier to keep clean in such a room while the baby is very small. And as the boy grows up, it will be easier for him to manage himself.
Thematic design
Younger boys will enjoy themed interiors. Pirates, dinosaurs, space adventures, robots, cars, jungles, favorite games or books - all this gives endless space for imagination in interior design. This is not necessarily a radical redevelopment. Use posters, wallpapers, cut-outs, accessories and toys.
Unsuccessful topics
If you want to create a truly stylish interior that will not lose relevance until the child reaches adulthood, then you should refrain from being too cartoonish in the design of the room. For example, from the theme of toy cars or pirates. This style is, in principle, difficult to implement well; besides, the child will quickly outgrow it and will feel uncomfortable being in a child’s interior.
If you still want to create a fairytale environment for a little boy, then do it with the help of decor. You should not buy a bed in the shape of a car or cover the room with wallpaper with superheroes, since then you simply may not have the time or funds to repair and buy new furniture, but the decorations are always easy to change.
Design of a small nursery for a boy
In a small children's room it is impossible to completely abandon toys, accessories and decor. An adult can minimize the number of things, but not a child who is still actively developing.
But this can be compensated for by modular designs. Choose compact multifunctional furniture. If you can take out a closet or build it into the wall, do it. Use all the niches and other layout features.
Play area on the podium - this solution will look very fresh. And you can hide drawers in the structure itself.

Good examples of themed decor
The following decor will look equally appropriate in the room of a 5- or 15-year-old boy, and will definitely not make a teenager blush.
- Technique. But not just banal posters with photographs, but drawings of airplanes, cars, tanks, etc. They look very stylish and contribute to the development of technical thinking.
- Countries of the world. Again, it is better to take not just photographs, but geographical maps as decoration. Not tacky multi-colored ones, but, for example, antique ones and consistent in the same color scheme.
- Space . An ideal topic that interests both children and older guys. In addition, it is played out in many films, video games and books in the science fiction genre, so it does not lose its relevance. This theme provides a huge scope for imagination. You can buy vinyl stickers with constellations or a star map, a lamp in the shape of planets, textiles with rockets and spaceships, a huge number of themed accessories, etc.
