A taste for good things and aesthetics should be instilled from a very young age in girls and boys alike. In the future, the ability to recognize the true beauty and quality of things will help the child to develop his own style and gain knowledge of how to make the environment more harmonious..
We dedicate this article to the future or already held happy parents of boys, for whom it is necessary to design not only a comfortable, but also a beautiful, up-to-date interior of a children’s room.
Before proceeding with the design of the nursery, it is worth carefully considering what you expect from the future interior. For those parents who create the environment for several years ahead, it is recommended to pay more attention to the choice of functional furniture. «for growth». Those who seek to decorate a fashionable interior for a certain period of their son’s life (up to 3-4 years old) can experiment with details, thematic decoration and shades.
In any case, we are sure: the recommendations below will be useful in different situations.
Universal palette
Baby boy’s are not just shades of blue and blue, brown or green. If you choose white, light gray, pale pistachio, pastel yellow, or a nice caramel color as your main color, the room will be no less «boyish», but a neutral base shade will help adapt the interior setting over several years to the needs and age of the boy, without the extra cost of changing wallpaper, new paint cans or more «adult» textile.
Against the background of neutral light walls, various pictures, photographs, decorative accessories or garlands look more picturesque and bright. In addition, growing up, your little son will want to choose interior items or toys to his liking, but even the most unusual and funny of them will easily take root surrounded by classic basic tones..
Animal images
Wild or domestic, big and small, fluffy or not so, – animals are one of the most favorite topics for the creativity of kids, they take part in the process of learning the world around.
In the design of the nursery for a newborn boy, you can use photographs of animals, their silhouettes, figurines or plaster imitations of stuffed heads – such paraphernalia will definitely not go out of fashion, it will amuse your baby and introduce him to some representatives of the world of fauna.
Do not place images of fierce, especially large animals in the interior – they will scare the baby. It is better to replace it with light innocent pictures, which depict animals in their natural surroundings. It is both fun and educational, and will also match the infant age of the owner of the room.
Prairie theme
The safari-style nursery interior is an unusual solution for a baby’s room, but in it your child will feel comfortable and cozy for several reasons.
- First: the natural palette of shades from sandy and gray, to terracotta, blue and thick chocolate has a beneficial effect on the development of the baby, soothes him.
- Second: animal motifs are an indispensable feature of the image of savannas, African deserts and prairies. Therefore, in the design, you can use not only images of animals, but also the characteristic color and color scheme of the skins of zebra, elephants, tigers or antelopes.
- Third: the theme of Africa will not exhaust itself, and its natural treasures and ethnic characteristics, perhaps, will form an inquisitive and perky personality in the growing boy..
Clear geometry of shapes
Today, trends towards minimalist silhouettes and simple geometric shapes are taking root not only in living rooms, spacious lofts or functional bathrooms, but also in children’s rooms designed for boys..
So, when choosing a crib, give preference to a laconic model made of wood, or painted in a neutral color (white, gray, light brown). Laundry dresser, nursing chair, toy shelves may be different colors, but the silhouette should echo the basic idea of practical geometry.
As he grows older, the boy will learn about the surrounding space with great curiosity, therefore, simple, clear forms and objects without excessive decor will, moreover, be safer for the little but dexterous hands of the baby..
Original prints
Stripes, stars, numbers and letters applied to the wall by means of wallpaper, photo printing or painting are a current trend in design. In addition, a similar design technique helps the baby to quickly understand the form and meaning of symbols familiar to adults..
You should not use a lot of graphic symbols, because the room can turn into an overly variegated and tastelessly decorated. One wall, curtains or carpet on the floor is enough to decorate the space with stripes or letters, complementing the image of crescents and numbers on bedding or upholstery.
Sunny accents
For the growth and development of a child, natural light is needed, which cannot be replaced by artificial devices. Therefore, sparkling and shimmering surfaces, an abundance of white or blotches of sunny yellow, designers are actively used in the design of children of any size.
We recommend using the Sun theme also when choosing additional light sources: table lamps, floor lamp and chandelier. Lamps in the Scandinavian style emphasize the current image of a nursery, and if you combine them with objects made of light wood, a room for a newborn son will become the focus of joy, style and harmony.
Dear parents, remember: you should invest in quality and functionality, choosing natural textures and natural shades. Only then will your baby’s nursery be truly stylish, comfortable and worthy of imitation. Stay tuned, read about new and interesting!
