Children's room design for two children - ideas of arrangement

The design of a nursery for two children is a real test for parents. During the repair, you have to think about safety, convenience of the interior, and also take into account the interests of each child, find a compromise in the design, accommodate a large amount of furniture. It is difficult when children have different interests or there is a significant difference in age, but in each case experienced designers offer solutions that will appeal to both small tenants.

What to look for?

Before repairing a room for several children, it is necessary to think over several nuances in advance:

• To determine the size, shape of the room, the number of door and window openings, drawing a diagram on a piece of paper or in a special computer program.
• Make a list of the functions that should be performed by the nursery: will it be just a children's bedroom, or will there be a playroom, study areas.

• Decide which part of the room you can allocate for storage. Will children's clothes be in a separate wardrobe or will it hang in a closet in a nursery?
• Consider the difference in age. At each stage of growing up, the child has different needs. If the age difference is large, it will be better to focus on creating a separate space for each little tenant.

• Identify the features of the room according to the gender of the children. If children are same-sex, then parents will have easier. In the room of a brother and sister, you need to seriously approach the division of each personal space.
• Talk with children about their own desires, preferences, try to find a compromise, corresponding to the ideas of both, will fit into the family budget.

The choice of color design

The color palette, which can be used to decorate a children's room, is limited only by the imagination of its future residents and parents. Consider the most common options.

• Classic: blue and pink. If the children are of the same sex, the design of the rooms in pale pink tones for daughters or in blue if the room is intended for sons does not go out of fashion.
• Bright hues. The use of soothing light shades has several advantages. First, it is easier for children in such a room to relax, which promotes good sleep. Secondly, such a finish visually enlarges the room. Light walls do not impose any style: any furniture or interior details are perfect.

When decorating the nursery in light shades, you need to take care of the possibility of washing the walls in advance, so when finishing the materials you need to choose from the cleaning options.

• Yellow, green, red. Wanting to make the room bright, colorful, you should know when to stop. In a too colorful room, children will have a hard time relaxing: bright colors will irritate the nervous system. A great solution to defiantly color one wall. This will make it thematic.
• Sea colors. A room for girls can be made in blue tones if you beat the theme of the sea: soft turquoise or delicate celestial color in combination with golden and yellow details, like waves washing the sand on the beach.

We place accents and “animate” the walls

The crime of making out the nursery is boring. If the walls are plain, there are several ways to make them more fun. For example, special adhesive stickers will help to “revive” the interior of a room for two children. Another option to help get a unique design of the walls, to spend time with the children - to paint the walls with your own hands: you can draw some interesting patterns or a whole plot on the accent wall. Small tenants will be incredibly proud of such repairs, treat it more carefully.

Instead of painting or decorating parts of the wall, you can use wallpaper. Modern manufacturers offer a wide range for every taste: from abstraction to fairy tales.

Whatever way of decorating the walls would be to your liking, it is important to remember the age of the children: after a year or two, the girls may be tired of the subject of dolls, and the boys will get tired of playing pirates. If adolescence is just around the corner, try choosing a not too childlike setting, or use similar plots where they can be easily replaced: curtains, bedspreads, but not walls.

Space zoning

The issue of planning and zoning is individual: in some families children get along better, in others, each one needs more free space. There are two options for zoning space:

• Divide the room into functional zones: for sleeping, playing, studying, etc.
• Divide the room into equal parts, making the semblance of individual rooms.

Children need a separate bed, and the rest of the layout depends on hobbies, the age of the young residents.

For newborns there will be enough cribs, changing table and playpen. Older children need a play area: it can be made as a play complex, a sports wall or a roomy box with toys. Starting from school age, there is a need for a study area: everyone should have their own table so that children can do their homework together.

An additional area may be a resting place. Here you can mark a bookcase, TV, puffs, an armchair or sofa, a coffee table.

If children of different sex, it is good to divide their possession of the screen. Look good rooms, where zoning emphasizes the different design of the walls.

The dependence of the layout of the size of the room

Children's for several tenants should be 20 square meters. This will allow you to freely place everything you need here, leaving free space for games. If there is no possibility to allocate so much space, then the designers have prepared separate recommendations:

12-14 square meters	It is permissible to place two separate beds, a small game complex, a training corner. You can fit everything you need, but in the center of the room there will be little space.
10-11 sq.m.	It is necessary to give preference to a bunk bed, to use several techniques to increase the visual space.
8-9 square meters	This size is small for 2 inhabitants. Required to install a bunk bed. The space under it is used as a storage place. Suit all sorts of folding furniture design. Wardrobe make out of the room, if the size of the housing allows.

Furniture: how to combine convenience and style?

In the choice of furniture in the first place is its safety: saving is inappropriate. Sharp angles should be absent, even if the children are already quite adult. Prefer special children's furniture. It is environmentally friendly, corresponds to the growth of the child, being psychologically more comfortable. Because children often get dirty, choosing any piece of furniture, you need to give preference to easy-to-clean materials.

Children's furniture should be easy, mobile: children love to change the situation, to build different designs.

If there are folding models in the interior, they should be made so that the child can use them independently, without resorting to the help of parents and without endangering himself.

Storage systems should be located so that the child himself can get the right things. An excellent option would be to place the boxes under and around the bed, as well as use a hanger with height adjustment. This will help teach children to be independent, clean.

Puffs are the best choice for upholstered furniture for a children's room: they take up little space, are safe, and kids love to play with them in a variety of ways.

Sleeping places

An integral part of the children's room is a place to sleep. In the room for two children, there are several ways to arrange sleeping places:

• A bunk bed is a great way to save space for accommodating other pieces of furniture. Often it is installed in spacious rooms, because children like to equip floors to their liking. The only problem may arise when both children prefer one of the tiers: then conflicts are not excluded. Be sure to install special protective panels on the second floor to ensure safety during sleep and during daytime games.

• Parallel beds. The classic option is when two beds are placed side by side, separated by a small bedside table. Parallel placement is not suitable for small rooms, but children will not have competition, as is the case with the bunk model. Under the beds you can organize storage space for clothes, clothes or toys. On the bedside furniture or above each bed you can install a small lamp.
• Installing beds along the wall one by one. This option will save more space in the center of the room. Such an arrangement is also convenient for security reasons: on one side there is a wall, and on the other you can install a special panel that prevents falling during sleep. Less location - children are able to reach the bed of a brother or sister: they can start playing instead of sleeping.

When choosing a folding bed, pay attention to the safety of the model and its effect on the children's spine. Preference is given to hard mattresses without folds. Pay special attention to the choice of the folding mechanism: it must be reliable, cases of accidental folding are excluded, but the child must be able to fold it independently.
