How to set up a room for twin children

Perhaps many are anxiously thinking about the upcoming renovation of the room for newborn twins, or about how to accommodate everything necessary for school-age twins in a small area. We hasten to assure you that it is quite easy to cope with such a task if you take into account some useful recommendations in advance..

Twin nursery interior

Outward resemblance does not mean that children will have the same abilities, tastes and views, because we are all different and twins are no exception. Some of the twin girls will draw well, and some will sing; one twin boy will become an athlete, the other a mathematician.

These features and inclinations to certain areas of knowledge (arts) should be taken into account when arranging a children’s room: for one child to install an easel, to another to allocate a place for a musical instrument.

Divide in two

When the area of ​​a house or apartment is not enough to assign a separate room to each of the children, you have to create comfortable conditions for twins in the same room. In the common room, children will grow together, develop, play and periodically argue. That is why it is so important to immediately try to delimit the space, so to speak, divide it into two equal halves..

So, each of the twins will receive a small, but personal space for personal use, where the child can somehow retire..

We form functional areas

In every article devoted to organizing the space of a living room, we tirelessly repeat about the need for zoning a room. Therefore, even today, we recall that the nursery for twins, like any other room, should be equipped so that it has a place for sleeping and rest (bed), work and creativity (workplace), wardrobe.

If the area of ​​the room allows, it is better not to mix these zones, but for each take one of the parts of the room, for example: install beds along one of the walls, opposite which to place desks, and at the end of the room organize sections for storing children’s things.

Thus, you can arrange a comfortable space, in the center of which there will be enough space for outdoor games, and the perimeter of the room will become thoughtful and functional..

Place the beds

Gemini are lucky from birth to have a reliable best friend who will always support, understand and take part in all the pranks. But each of the guys is an individual person, for whom it is extremely important to have something of their own, to dispose of things and objects at their discretion.

Naturally, twins’ nursery must have two separate beds, but each of them should be skillfully placed in the room so that nothing causes discomfort to both children.

beds can be installed parallel to each other against one of the walls;

two beds can be located along the wall one after the other;

in a small room, you should think about installing a bunk bed: it saves space;

sleeping places are nice to arrange in the image of the letter «r», but make sure that both stay at some distance from the doors.

We equip the workplace

Do not ignore the issue of organizing a work area that will serve as a place for the twins to develop creativity, funny board games or written school assignments..

A working area is necessary in any children’s room, regardless of its size and the presence of other large furniture. In addition, do not sit the twins at the same table – the children will be uncomfortable and cramped..

If you need to save space, use a pair of identical mobile tables or one long table top along the wall, complemented by two compact, ergonomic chairs. We hasten to notice that the children of twins are constantly sharing something, arguing about which of them will be the first to use this or that thing. But the twins should not share tabletop lighting – let each have their own.

Wardrobe for two

Two guys, similar as two drops of water, from birth get used to using each other’s things, exchanging hats, sweaters or dresses (girls). But in the future, children will have a personal life, their own housing, and therefore, it is better from the very beginning to teach the twins to organize and manage the wardrobe allotted for them..

In order for children, going for a walk, to quickly and easily find their own things, and not their sisters (brother’s), it is worth equipping the dressing room in such a way that it has two compartments with an equal set of rods, shelves and drawers.

If there is no built-in wardrobe, install a pair of dressers of the same size in the room, each of which the children can design according to their own taste.

Color spectrum

If you need to decorate the interior of a room for twins – girls or boys – with the choice of the color of walls, curtains and other accessories, often, there are no problems: pink-cream range, blue-pistachio, red-brown and others. But it is much more difficult to choose colors if opposite-sex twins live in the room: a boy and a girl.

No need to be upset, because there are a large number of shades «unisex», equally suitable for girlish and boyish interiors. For example, a sandy chocolate palette with white and green shades; light gray tones with silver, blue and lilac.

Also, in the design of the room of twins, it is worth using classic stripes, zigzags, a geometric pattern that both children may like..

Furniture

In addition to basic pieces of furniture (beds, tables and wardrobes), we recommend adding the following to the furnishings:

1.Banquettes – chests for storing personal belongings of twin children;

2.poufs or chairs;

3.Desktop mini-chests of drawers for jewelry, collections, office supplies;

4. a pair of bright rugs near the beds;

5.decorative pillows;

6. original bedside sconces and other pleasant and useful things that will help create a friendly, cheerful and kind atmosphere in the nursery.

Good luck!
