How to equip a children's room for two children

Often the area of ​​rooms allocated for children for two children is not very spacious, thus causing certain difficulties in their arrangement at the planning stage. However, a large variety of recoiling, built-in and other furniture designs greatly simplifies the solution of the problems that arise with the arrangement of the child with all the necessary interior items.

The importance of the personal space in the life of the children

In most cases, parents give the children a room, so that:

• toys are not lying around the whole apartment, but in one place;

• in case of arrival of the guests, they did not interfere with their feet, but engaged in their own affairs in another room, etc.

However, in the life of each child, the children's room is a personal space that protects him from invading unwanted people and gives him the opportunity to be alone with his thoughts. In addition, the well-designed children's play promotes the harmonious development and formation of the child's personality, the manifestation of independence, responsibility for order in personal things, toys, books. If the room is divided between two children, then the skill of communication, finding a compromise on some controversial issues, is further instilled.

Thus, own room in the life of children plays a very important role, so it is worthwhile to approach its arrangement without hurrying up, calculating everything to the smallest detail.

Choosing a room for a nursery

Regardless of age and gender, a children's room for two children must meet the following criteria:

• good natural light;

• no exit to the balcony;

• room isolation, providing full concentration of children's attention on games, homework and other activities.

In addition, the optimal area of ​​the children's room, designed for two children, is about 20 m².However, in the absence of such an opportunity, under the nursery should choose the largest and brightest room.

Zoning room

Based on the fact that the child is not designed for one child, the room must be divided into the following zones:

• is personal for each child, including the areas of sleep, study, storage of personal belongings;

• common zone, designed for joint games and recreation.

At the same time, it is possible to designate functional zones with the help of:

• covering the walls of the room with wallpaper, differing in texture and color scale;

• of decorative screen or partition;

• shelving for toys or other small items;

• curtains fixed on the ceiling cornice.

Despite the desire of children to a bright color palette, the overall background of the walls is still better to choose neutral shades, such as beige, turquoise, sky blue, pale orange. At the same time, the interior can be given additional attractiveness by means of colorful bed linen, a blanket on the bed, curtains depicting your favorite heroes or idols.

In addition, in shopping centers children's furniture for two children is presented in a huge range and a wide color palette, allowing to harmoniously fit any piece of interior even into a small room with the most original stylistic solution.

Arrangement of sleeping area

For the arrangement of a bed in a nursery, either stand-alone beds or two-story ones are used. At the same time, the choice on this or that option should be stopped taking into account:

• the views of the children;
• sex accessories;
• age difference between children.

In addition, each type of bed has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The clear benefits of a bunk bed include:

• significant savings in free space;
• equipment of individual models of drawers, small lockers for storing things.

Among the shortcomings:

• ceiling height should exceed 2.5 m, otherwise sleeping on the top floor will be too stuffy;
• possibility of quarrels if both children express a desire to sleep at the top;
• The upper tier is intended for children older than 6-7 years, since the slightest carelessness when climbing / descending the stairs will lead to injury;
• is more suitable for children of the same age.

The advantages of freestanding beds are more evident:

• mobility;
• weight options for the arrangement of beds;
• small height, preventing injury during accidental falls;
• the age of the child does not matter.

However, to save space when equipping the room with separate beds should not be counted.

In addition to these options, a fairly widespread use of folding and withdrawable bed designs that release additional space during the day. However, the mechanisms that make it possible to clean and lay out beds tend to quickly become unusable, as children like to play with such things, repeating similar manipulations several times a day, until parents see it.

Despite the variety of different types of beds, many of them are sold without the cabinets necessary for storing clothes. In this situation, you need to buy at least one cabinet for two, but the shelves are subject to a mandatory distinction between the children. In addition, you do not need to choose a cabinet for a half-room, otherwise it will not only be packed with necessary, but absolutely superfluous things.

So, however attractive was the option of buying a bunk bed, but to weigh all the shortcomings of a particular bed model is worthwhile, although a small childrens for two children sometimes leaves no options, except for installing a two-storey structure.

Layout of the working area

It is necessary to allocate a working area in the room for schoolchildren and preschool children, because sometimes children are given small assignments in the kindergarten, and many children like to paint. However, the table and chair should correspond to the age of the child, so as not to earn a curvature of the spine ahead of time.

Since it is better to place the training area near the window, the choice of furniture depends on the area of ​​the well-lit part of the room. Proceeding from this, it is possible to get 2 tables or one, but that behind him could calmly accommodate both children.

In addition, the placement of desktops is necessary taking into account the following features:

• children should at least glance at the entrance to the room, otherwise the unconscious anxiety that they are caught at the wrong moment can turn into a nervous state;
• children sitting face to face, will be constantly distracted from the task;
• over each workplace it is desirable to have a free space for placing compact shelves for textbooks and notebooks so that as the assignment is completed, children do not run for the new textbook to the other end of the room;
• presence near the workplace of sockets for connecting a computer and table lamps.

Of course, a good option is the purchase of tables with the bedside tables to store most of the teaching equipment.

The organization of a game or recreation area

The arrangement of this zone largely depends on the nature, age and hobbies of children. However, even with the coincidence of interests, each child has his own toys, books, disks and other things, so to store them it is desirable to purchase a rack or a cabinet and determine for each of the children their shelves, attaching stickers with the names of children to them.

Some of the things can be stored in plastic containers, caskets that take up much less space on the shelves than small items that have been placed horizontally.

In the play area, a warm carpet is simply needed, because children like to play more on the floor, and during active games, the flooring plays a role of a certain sound insulation for neighbors.

For teens in the recreation area it is better to place compact chairs and fixed on a wall bracket or a TV set in the wall.

Thus, in the arrangement of the play area children's advice will help, and adults are assigned the role of proof-reader, since children are not able to correctly place all the things they need.

Options for childcare

Currently, the choice of children's furniture is very diverse, so making the children's interior comfortable for two children and the original will not be a problem.

Even for a small child, you can find a solution in the form of a compact design of a bunk bed, equipped with side tables and drawers.

In a spacious room the bed can be fully installed in the center, delimiting space into separate zones.

But in a room of rectangular shape, separate beds can be installed only along the wall, otherwise the cabinet, the table simply has nowhere to put.

Of course, in a large children's room you can organize a sports corner or put 2 cupboards instead of one.

At the same time, many children feel comfortable in a room devoid of special delicacies, although space allows using more luxurious and interesting furniture.

However, the originality of the design is peculiar not only for spacious, but also for small children's rooms, because you can use loft beds that release the area for installing cabinets, shelving or for equipping the playing area.

In addition, a small room of true treasure hunters will decorate the furniture in the whole wall with the roll-out beds models below it, and add a treasure map hanging on the wall.

Thus, the options for the design of the children's room are incredible. However, when settling down, it is worthwhile listening to the opinion of both children about what kind of room and in what style they want to see, and in case of a controversial situation, it is easy to find a compromise solution. Only then will the children be satisfied with their new room.
