On the eve of the birth of the baby, it is worth thinking about how to arrange a nursery for him. It is important to work out everything down to the smallest detail: shades, functionality of furniture, distribution of zones. In the article we will suggest several interesting ideas that will help make the room cozy and unusual.
Use the right shades
It is not at all necessary to adhere to the traditional rule: blue for boys, pink for girls. It is better to opt for neutral pastel colors. Milky, sand, beige, light olive, mint, vanilla, pale blue and other light colors will look perfect.
Consider the location of the room relative to the cardinal points. For the southern and western, it is recommended to choose shades of a cool range. But for the eastern and northern – warmer ones.
Space by the window
This is very relevant if the room is small. Most likely, you will have to use custom-made furniture to use the walls on the sides and above the window opening. Use up all the vertical and horizontal spaces, and turn the window sill itself into a wide protruding tabletop.
Here you can store children’s toys, stationery for developing fine motor skills in a growing baby, bed linen, cosmetics and accessories.
Give up solid soft flooring
It is a mistake to think that the entire floor in the room should be covered with carpet or other soft items. They will accumulate dust. At the same time, they are difficult to clean. It is better to make warm floors. And in the crib area or in the play area of the room – lay a small woven carpet without lint. It is easy to wash, which is much more environmentally friendly for the baby’s room.
Divide the room into zones
With the help of correctly selected furniture and wall shades, you can divide the room into sleeping and play areas. For example, the wall near the crib can be painted in any contrasting shade, apply a funny children’s drawing. The play area can be marked with a different type of flooring, different in color or texture.
Use transformable furniture
For example, you will need:
- changing table, which can later be turned into cubes for storing toys;
- playpen with removable side walls – later, as the baby grows, this will already be a full-fledged crib.
A table and a chair for growth can be equipped with the same transformable functions. Their legs and backrest can be adjusted in height.
Give more light
In addition to the window opening, use artificial light sources. Moreover, choose a warm and neutral, but not cold range. The backlight can be placed in the play area, sleep, as well as along the entire perimeter of the ceiling. In winter, when daylight hours are much shorter, artificial light sources will help correct the situation.
Tip: refuse heavy curtains that collect dust and block access to daylight in the room. It is better to give preference to light tulle, thin cotton curtains without a sharp print.
Choose environmentally friendly materials
The interior of the baby’s room should be dominated by natural wood, natural fabrics such as linen, cotton, satin. They have excellent breathing properties, while not emitting toxic fumes.
