How to arrange a small children's room

We have for you some basic tips on how to deal with the equipment in the nursery, where you have to fight for every inch of space. What to drive to fit everything you need and the space is visually enlarge?

Do small rooms are most suitable bright colors, thanks to which even a small space can look light and airy. Shades of white, beige and grey are suitable, but you won't step on pastel shades of pink or blue. If you want to visually expand the room, choose the ceiling and floor in a darker color than the walls. On the other hand, select a light floor and a ceiling for a room with a low ceiling. You can also achieve a similar effect with decorative wallpapers with a vertical pattern, which will visually slim down and prolong the space. Mirrors are also a versatile addition to small spaces. In the room of older children you do not have to worry about larger models or whole mirror walls, but for toddlers and preschoolers choose wall mirrors.

Who plays is not angry! Every little kid knows that. And parents shouldn't forget that! Larger pieces of furniture should therefore always stand by the wall so that there is enough space in the middle of the room to play and have fun. Clothing storage and other necessities can take the form of open systems and lockers. However, order is better maintained in more smaller bins than in one large one.

And where to store the toys? Practical will be especially various baskets, chests, as well as resealable boxes with lids. "If the room is really small, consider investing in modular furniture. Thanks to the interchangeable parts, the furniture can adapt to the needs of the child and will grow along with it. A practical and above all functional solution is, for example, an elevated bed with a ladder, which contains a large drawer or a bed for a younger sibling." says Delia Fischer, founder of Westwing.cz.

gMessing to school brings with it a lot of changes, not only for children and their parents. The children's room was also supposed to undergo a transformation, because a small schoolboy needs a place to learn. Here, too, it pays to reach for multifunctional solutions, especially in the case of smaller rooms. The work table can be part of the bed or take the form of a fold-out chest of drawers. Furniture on wheels, which can be easily tinged under the window sill or table, will also save a considerable amount of space. Also practical will be a table with drawers, into which you can hide school notebooks and other small things.

There should be no writing organizer on the table, which will make it easier for children to keep order. Last but not least, also remember the comfortable chair and quality lighting. A lamp attached to a shelf or wall saves space on the table and also better lights up the entire work surface.

Do you want your child to grow up in a truly original environment that will support his imagination and desire to explore the world? In this case, you must not forget about the decorations. Children love unusual ornaments! For the children's room, choose one accompanying theme, e.g. space, underwater world, fairy tale forest, and then customize the style of all accessories.

However, shop wisely as the small rooms are easy to swallow. Too many patterns and colors distract children and can then have trouble concentrating. Do you want to arrange the room in the same way as the latest trends? Then try washable magnetic colors. Using them, you can simply turn the wall of the room into an art gallery. Children can thus pin their works to the wall with magnets or, which is certainly much more appealing, they can paint with markers directly on the wall!

Another feature that children will appreciate is indoor tents and tipi. For preschoolers, they can be a mysterious chamber or hiding place, and more mature children will find privacy in them for reading a book or watching a movie.
