If your child has his own space in the house - this is just great. Your business is to help the child to inhabit this space so that he always wants to return there and maintain order there.
A good children's room is a place where the child is warm, comfortable, safe and interested in living - and where all the opportunities for harmonious development are provided.
And good children grow up only in nurseries, in the design of which parents invested a little more than money. It is not enough to buy all the necessary materials and make a beautiful repair to your liking - have you forgotten that this is not your room?
Room decoration, which pleases only your eye, is necessary only as long as the child is so small that he generally does not care what surrounds him - if only you were nearby and in a good mood. And even that - it’s well known that even babies are affected, for example, by the color schemes of the rooms.
If your baby is worried and sleeps poorly in this “nursery” - maybe it’s worth removing too “aggressive” wallpapers with a sharp pattern? Yes, and that picture with a bared tiger, too?
Is the child already at that age when he can quite clearly operate with the concepts “like - don't like”?
He already has even very little ones, but hobbies, favorite characters of cartoons and fairy tales, and you know that he likes to play Lego and draw, but does not like to sculpt and play with a ball?
From this moment on, all ideas for a children's room can and should be discussed with its owner!
This is good practice also because communication with the child takes place in a format that your little man will certainly appreciate: he is not served ready and is not imposed on his own, they are consulted with him, he can decide something!
So he is big, his opinion is appreciated, he is respected! Any most stupid and frivolous jumper from such an attitude immediately seems to grow by the head!
Let's talk about how to make a nursery with your own hands - after all, no one knows your child better than you. And let him certainly help you to the best of your ability - even if all the help would look like "crookedly pasted one flower out of twenty."

Zones of a children's room and their combination
To make it easier for the child and the younger person to maintain order, the easiest way is to immediately differentiate it into zones for each type of life.
The room should be visually divided into sections for:
- sleep
- games
- study
- storage of clothes.
Why is this necessary?
An adult is a fairly organized being, he even involuntarily divides the space around him into zones convenient for him and does not violate their boundaries.
You can, of course, eat at the computer and read on the toilet, but every adult knows that he must then remove the plate from the computer, and it’s better not to tell vile friends about meetings with a book on the white throne. Of course, if he has order in his head and he is not the mythically chaotic Isadora Duncan from "Dog Heart", which, according to the protagonist, "dines in the study, and cuts rabbits in the bathroom."
The real Isadora, of course, washed herself in the bathroom, slept in the bedroom, and in the office, if he was with her, read, wrote letters and checked the accounts.
Note!
The child is still too "elemental", he is in such a hurry to live, play, learn the world, that disorder forms around him in a natural way. And this is completely normal - but for the time being.
That's why growing up in order to become an increasingly rationally organized person (for each this process takes place in its own way, but it is inevitable).
Now we are touched by a carpet soiled with paint - the child paints for the first time with paints! He has learned! Is there any unfortunate rug of creative impulse!
But it is unlikely that a 15-year-old forehead that eats chips and at the same time mends a skate on a bed with a clean bedspread and freshly linen will cause the same tenderness, right?
And it is much easier for the child himself to navigate in the living space, if he clearly sees and knows: his toys are in this drawer, and the books are on that shelf.
Note!
And you will not hear the constant and ever more demanding cries of your child: “Ma-am, where is plasticine, panties, a pink elephant, my iPhone, that blue miniskirt ...”
With the growing up of the child, the zones will change their meaning and functions - if for the nursing infant almost the whole world is placed in the sleeping area, then the teenager’s playing area will be replaced by a working one (there he will engage in his hobbies), and the educational one may well extend to the sleeping one ...
The colors of his life
The color scheme of the children's room is an important and subtle moment. Choosing a wallpaper, you need not only to watch, but also to feel what exactly you are buying. And, of course, if the child is already involved in creating the interior of the room with you, you should make a purchase with him.
Perhaps you should not dwell on the fact that some colors are not like a child - an adult will be driven into melancholy, if not depression. No need to decorate the walls in such a way that the nursery resembled the scenery for the play "Children of the Underground".
But also to go to the other extreme - as bright and colorful as possible! - do not do it. It’s interesting to look at Kandinsky’s paintings - but to live in this riot of colors and geometric shapes ...
You simply will not understand why your child can never go to bed calmly, why he is excited when it is completely unnecessary. Yes, and the child’s eyes will get tired of bright color combinations, and this contributes to general fatigue.
Note!
Look at the selection of photos of the children's room in different color options. Note what you liked right away, and what causes, if not intelligible, but annoyance. And do not reproduce it on your walls.
And do not forget to ask the child - maybe he already has a favorite color associated with something pleasant. Even if this color causes you a slight flush - for example, orange - you can still find a compromise.
After all, is there not only walls in a child’s room? Even a very bright and wild color can be “reassured” with the help of well-chosen interior items and decor of other colors.
And do not forget that the effect of each color on each person is individual.Someone will feel awake and assembled in a room, say, with a light blue wallpaper color - and for someone it is this color that causes seizures of gloom or aggression.
Kids room decor
How to decorate a nursery - let the child tell you again. Create for him that fairy-tale world in which he would like to live! The walls of the nursery look sad even with the most beautiful wallpapers, if there is nothing more on them.
Vinyl stickers? Glowing in the dark? In the form of stars, letters, or your favorite little animals? His own drawings? Posters with his favorite cartoon characters? Collages that you create with him? Fancy watch?
Do not forget about the design of the window: curtains or blinds? What colour? Maybe with a picture?
Boy's room: warrior or explorer?
A minimum of extremely functional furniture - boys are often very active, and for any activity they need space, "where to turn around."
And decide who you are growing? If a guy is fond of sports, active games, he can’t sit still for a minute - make him a sports corner, so that there is where to put in unrestrained energy.
But there are calmer boys - always learning something about their own, mastering something, inventing another ordinary nuclear reactor. Collectors, lovers of physical and chemical experiments - not warriors, but researchers.
What is needed is not a mini-sports ground, but something like a work area where they can easily disassemble, assemble, repair, and study something.
The first, most likely, will need some place or device for storing sports equipment, the second - space for storing tools, collections, unfinished models ...
Both that, and another can and not hide at all, and organically fit in and become part of the interior of the boyish room.
Girl's room: princess or amazon?
Girls are also different. Conditional "princesses", keen on dolls, their outfits, quiet games and needlework - and "Amazons" who prefer much more active entertainment.
These girls love different things - and it’s stupid for the Amazon to equip a lacy mini-boudoir of gentle tones. Similarly, the tender "princess" has nothing to do among the "Amazonian" tennis rackets, soccer balls and dog training equipment.
Do not try to insist on and subordinate the interior of the room not to the interests of the child, but to your ideas about what these interests should be.
Let the first girl at least cover the whole room with stickers with her beloved fairies and little ponies, and the second one demands to buy her a plastic sword and a helm from a pirate ship. In both cases, the room can be decorated very originally and to the liking of the child!
The same rule applies to both boys and girls: only the child who can choose is happy. Friends, hobbies, a picture on a T-shirt or wallpaper ... "But we did not choose!" - You were not allowed to do this. “Nothing, let them rejoice at what they give!” - Listen, are you sure that you mean your beloved child, and not your personal slave?
Making a small children's room
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to provide a child with a room of a sufficiently large size.
Depressingly little space - this is not a reason for frustration, especially since the child is happy with absolutely any personal space, but that it belongs to him.
Remember your favorite games of very young children in the device of "houses" - under the table, in the corner, from sofa cushions. The child needs personal space - this is a sign of his normal development. And if it seems to you too small ...
You look with adult eyes. A child can find the limited space of a room completely natural (“I'm small - and my room too”), and also imagine anything.
One talented child, whose room was slightly larger than the pantry, inspiredly played a variety of games with this little room: she became the burrow of the fox (the child was the fox, of course), then the hobbit’s house ...
Light and cold tones help to visually increase the space, but again you need to focus on the feelings of the child: doesn’t he find such a room uncomfortable?
Think about which areas of the room can be functionally combined with each other. Modern furniture with its capabilities allows you to combine, for example, a bed and a play, play and study area.
Wait to be indignant on the subject: "So it will play instead of lessons!". It won’t be, if it’s right to agree: the game box moves out of the table only when all tasks are done. And not before. Otherwise, the game box ... generally disappears from the table! Until someone learns to do business first and then have fun.
Do not clutter the already small floor space with what is safe and even tasteful to place on the walls. A few very well-nailed roomy shelves at such a height that the child can easily use them will “unload” the floor.
