Children's room design Consists of many details that require thought: storage, sleeping, and space for various activities. Today I will write about some of the storage needs: storing games, books, craft materials, clothing and footwear, and finally bedding.

Is there room in one room for so many things? The answer is yes and no... depending on the size of the room, the number of windows, the number of children sleeping in the same room, and their ages. Each of these data points will change the answer and increase or decrease the storage options. Some families will decide that children up to a certain age will share a common room as part of the educational values and experiences they want their children to have. Therefore, choosing the space for the child's room involves dividing the space. It may be in the process Children's room design Together with me, we would prefer that the play and craft area be in a family room near the kitchen or that the bedding find a place of honor in the linen closet in the niche I designed along the hallway. In any case, colorful or minimalist, to create space, it is still better to use storage that is partly above floor level.

Sleep: A bed under a window is not recommended for many reasons: children can climb on the windowsill and risk falling, etc. Of course, bars are a MUST. Sometimes, sliding windows in apartments are installed with low quality and will therefore "whistle" in the winter = a sign that the window is not hermetically closed and lets cold air in right above the children's heads. A window wall is an exterior wall and therefore is a wall that is exposed to moisture (common construction defects, unfortunately) and is a colder wall than interior walls. In the cold mountain area, a radiator is usually installed. So placing furniture next to a radiator is really not recommended for fear of burns and the concentration of heat trapped in the heating element.

Lighting: As always, several lighting fixtures will provide an overall solution: general lighting in the center of the room that can be turned on and off as a switch in 2 places). Ambient lighting - In designing the space, I usually incorporate hidden lighting in furniture or a plaster ceiling and create a lighting apron. So that the light is pleasant and not dazzling and the child will feel safe during the night from ghosts or monsters... Also a reading light fixture at the appropriate height (so that we don't get hit in the head..) and an available outlet at the right height (so that the nightstand or bed frame allows access).

Color: Children's rooms are fun and happy with the addition of color. On the walls, with accessories, furniture, carpet and bedding. The trick is not to create a mess or clutter. Attached are pictures for inspiration. In conclusion: Planning and designing children's rooms is important in order not to create visual clutter, especially if the room is also used as a room for drinking, eating, doing homework and sleeping. The space is not large, so creating safe heights for furniture and storage is part of the solution. Scandinavian-Nordic style design is popular and pleasing to the eye without clutter. But even a colorful room in pastel shades will accompany your child for many years and a good night's sleep.
