Children’s corner in the bedroom of adults

Many of you are faced with the task of decorating combined rooms, for example, living room and kitchen, bedroom and living room, or bedroom and nursery. Today we will talk about the common room for parents and children in this article, since arranging such a space sometimes requires attention, patience and certain means.

For a combined bedroom and a nursery, it is important to take into account the needs of adults living in it and the needs of children (child), to provide for the location of sleeping places, a work area, a playroom, and also a dressing room. It is much easier to do this in a spacious room than, for example, in a modest room, so you need to use simple but effective ways to save space, knowing some of the laws of ergonomics.

How to equip a children’s corner in the parents’ bedroom

The text of the article is divided into three paragraphs, corresponding to the three main age categories of childhood: from birth to three years, from four to seven, and from seven to 10-12 years. Accordingly, we will tell you how best to arrange a combined room in each case..

Baby crib in the parents’ room

In the first two years after the birth of a child, parents can use a large area of ​​the room at their discretion, since the main children’s furniture should be a cradle bed and a compact chest of drawers or a low children’s rack for storing toys, books, children’s things.

The younger the child, the closer you can install his crib to the parents’ adult bed, and as the son or daughter grows up, it is better to move the baby bed closer to the window (but not next to it), along the opposite wall, or arrange a children’s area in the corner between the window and adult bed.

It is better to decorate the walls around the baby’s crib somehow, but since this is a combined room, you should use decorations that can be easily removed and replaced. Framed pictures, lightweight small shelves for small toys, Velcro stickers, origami crafts and garlands will be especially good.

In addition, we must not forget about additional lighting in the children’s area: a table lamp on the chest of drawers, a sconce on the wall near the crib or a stable floor lamp will create a cozy atmosphere and provide good light..

To visually separate the children’s area from the adult, lay a bright rug near the crib and place a highchair with a soft seat.

Preschool child in the adult bedroom

For an older child, it is necessary to slightly expand the children’s area, add a desk and an ergonomic chair to it, organize sections for storing stationery and, of course, replace the bed with a teenage bed or a full-fledged single bed.

To save the area of ​​the room, in which it is necessary to place not only adults, but also children’s things, you can do the following, for example:

Choose an adult and children’s bed with built-in drawers, and install roomy dressers.

Order a common wardrobe built in a wide niche or between opposite walls.

The nursery should be fenced off from the adult zone with decorative curtains, a screen, or a mobile partition in order to create an atmosphere of privacy for parents and children, if necessary..

In the case when the area of ​​the combined room is so small that two beds can hardly fit in it, it may be worth considering purchasing a bunk bed with a lower double bed and an upper single.

The style of the combined bedroom is better to choose a modern universal, classic in a light neutral scale, or, for example, Scandinavian, in which all objects, colors and shapes are light and universal for adults and children.

Shared bedroom for parents and a child from seven years old

School-age children are increasingly striving for independence, so it is better to create the appearance of it by properly organizing the space of the combined bedroom.

So, it is better to install beds as far away from each other as possible and use zoning techniques:

1. to erect a partition-rack,

2. to put on the periphery of the adult and children’s zones a chest of drawers or wardrobe,

3.install a structure in the form of sliding doors with frosted glass,

4. hang functional curtains.

Your choice should depend on the lighting in the bedroom, and the habits of all those who live in it..

If the room is designed for parents and two children, it is recommended to install a bunk teenage bed, and when there is one child in the family, a mini-sofa can be placed in the room, which transforms into a comfortable bed.

Allow the student to show individuality in the design of a common bedroom for him and his parents. Let the daughter or son choose the shade of curtains, wallpaper pattern or textile texture. An adult child can be instructed to independently decorate the walls in his part of the room, with the condition that they do not get out of the general idea of ​​the bedroom.

Remember the need to place a desk and related sections in the room for storing literature, personal belongings of the child. Provide high-quality work lighting in the children’s area with table lamps with a luminous flux control.

A combined bedroom with a nursery can be functional, beautiful and comfortable. Together with his parents, a person lives here who learns the world and develops his individuality, which must not be forgotten. Therefore, let the child decorate the nursery area to his liking, acquire additional furniture, compact, but still personal.

Good luck!
