It’s not just adults who like it stylish and cozy, children also benefit from an inviting and calm atmosphere.
Expectant or new parents usually start thinking about the design of their future nursery months in advance. It should be cozy, suitable for children, but still stylish. The selection of children’s furniture, decorative elements, soft toys and unusual baby gadgets is now huge and hard to keep track of. Nevertheless, you don’t want to do anything wrong when designing your room and want everything to be as perfect as possible. Above all, this includes the following factors, which should be taken into account accordingly:
- Order
- Coziness
- Uniformity
- Colors
Avoid clutter
One important aspect of furnishing and design is the issue of order. Too many colorful toys or different materials often make the room look restless. Chests of drawers with drawers, drawers or storage boxes, for example, are ideal for keeping things tidy without having to do without toys, books or stuffed animals. Sufficient storage space for things such as creams, wipes, diapers, baby thermometers and other everyday items is therefore a good idea in the nursery – especially for babies. When the little ones are a little older, you should still plan enough storage space to keep things tidy.
Ensure a cozy atmosphere
Rugs on the floor, curtains in front of the windows or atmospheric lighting are important factors in creating a cozy atmosphere in the children’s room. Even if lights for children are usually rather colorful and unusual, there are also stylish pieces that can be discreetly integrated into the children’s room. After all, the coziness provided by pleasant light and selected textiles not only contributes to the atmosphere, but also helps the child to calm down and feel comfortable. Pieces of furniture such as hammocks or a cozy crib also promote healthy sleep for the baby or child.
Uniform design
Due to the large selection in the specialist stores and the many options for designing the children’s room, you should decide on a style in advance. Do you mainly want natural wooden furniture, such as a cozy crib or a chest of drawers? Or should the room be furnished in a modern and minimalist style? Depending on your personal taste, you should follow the chosen style as closely as possible and pay attention to the common thread.
Note the arrangement of the furniture
Furniture that grows with the baby or child is particularly practical. This saves you a lot of money and gives you the option of using them over a longer period of time. Furniture should be placed according to the island principle. This provides for the arrangement to be determined according to the function of the furnishings. Furniture such as the changing unit or a shelf with care and hygiene articles should be placed in groups, as should a play table with other play utensils.
Consider color choice
Many parents tend to decide on a color for the entire children’s room in advance. Neutral, muted colors such as beige, cream, light grey or pastel shades are particularly suitable for creating a calm atmosphere. Color combinations are often well suited to create a harmonious overall picture and to better coordinate the furnishing options. When choosing a wall color, you should also bear in mind that it can affect your sleep. When choosing the right color, interior design professionals follow the rule that a maximum of four colors should be used per room. The floor and walls are each considered a single color, while furniture and toys are incorporated into the room design as accompanying colors and color accents.
