Children's Room Built with Love
A child should feel like a little master in their own room. How to design a children's room so that the child feels safe and comfortable there and their development is supported in all ways? What trends dominate children's room furnishing?
Interior…
…creates the mood of the room. A children's room should be dominated by one general tone that doesn't irritate or affect mood. A child rests in their room from daily fatigue and gathers energy for a new day. Peaceful sleep is very important in a child's mental and physical development. All soft blue color tones on walls and furnishing details have a calming effect and help to relax. However, according to psychologists, heavy blue tones can cause restlessness and a feeling of loneliness.
Wall coverings…
…should be practical and made from natural material. Paintable wall coverings are trendy: a child can choose the wall color that suits them best, in case of mistakes repairs can be made easily, or when wanting a new mood, the entire room can be freshened up again. The color must be chosen very carefully, especially if it is a toddler's or infant's room. One should definitely choose natural wall colors. When choosing the right color tones and matching them, it is also worth consulting with an interior designer. A painted wall can be decorated with photo wallpapers and stickers.
Floor covering…
…should also be made from natural material. Laminate or linoleum is not suitable for a children's room, as they can release invisible compounds harmful to a child's health and cause allergies. The best option is a wooden floor, which can be covered with, for example, a carpet. Most importantly, the floor should be safe, easy to maintain, and comfortable for the child's feet to walk on.
Furniture…
…should not take up much space, it is more important to leave room for playing. Children's room furniture should not have sharp corners – fortunately today you can find beds, cabinets and tables with rounded corners. The desk could be placed by the window, with light falling on it from the left if the child is right-handed and from the right if they are left-handed.
Lighting…
…certainly requires attention, I recommend choosing a good ceiling light. The material is not as important as the fact that there is plenty of light in the room. The more light there is in the space, the better it is for the child's eyes. Lights must be securely installed and easy to use. Colored, flickering lights should be avoided, as they damage the eyes and have a tiring effect. Windows could be covered with minimalist window coverings that don't absorb light and don't collect dust.
Creativity…
…could be one of the children's room keywords – a child should be able to create and discover the world in their room. Children often want to make something with their own hands, whether it's a beautiful postcard, a drawing, something glued, cut or torn from paper. Parents should not overlook any stage in their child's development, but should support the child's desire to engage in creative activities. For this purpose, you could create a corner in the children's room where the child can display their creations. Children expect recognition for their activities and want to tell about their hobbies. If they engage in sports, music or, for example, ballroom dancing, then the medals, trophies and other awards that recognize their achievements could be placed on a shelf in the children's room, in a display case or framed on the wall.
In conclusion
A children's room does not have to be large in size. What is important is that this space is furnished with love for your most precious family members. Psychologists argue that a child can feel very safe and comfortable even in a small room – children love to build nests and hideaways. May the children's room furnished by parents help the child discover new horizons and grow into a mentally and physically healthy and bright personality!
