How does a shelving in a nursery differ from cabinets and shelves, and what is its feature? First of all, the rack is a lightweight floor construction without unnecessary parts, with maximum functionality. This is a small, lightweight cabinet that can be used for various purposes.
The rack does not take up much space, but at the same time has sufficient capacity
Plus shelving in their practicality and simplicity. They can be used as shelves for books and textbooks, arrange toys, store decor and even clothes. Another plus - racks come in a variety of incredible shapes and sizes, and you can choose or order for the individual dimensions of the room.
Furniture manufacturers offer a wide variety of shelving options depending on purpose and configuration.
This furniture has no drawbacks: it is cheaper than cabinets, it is easier, more practical, and looks more beautiful. What are the downsides? Solid benefits. True, you should choose wisely: pay attention to the material, competently approach the choice of shape and color and take into account all other nuances.
Shelves can be placed in various corners of the children's room.
Did you know that modern children's cabinets and racks are ideal for zoning a room? Among all other existing types of zoning, this one is the most competent and practical. If the second baby grows up in the family, then it's time to turn one nursery into two so that each child has his own personal space. And it doesn’t matter whether same-sex children or heterosexuals, everyone needs a personal space, even a tiny corner - but personal and private.
Shelving makes it easy to divide the room into functional areas
So, you can build a wall of drywall - it is expensive and problematic. You can hang the curtain, but it is unreliable, it looks poor and does not create a feeling of isolation and privacy in the room. And you can use the rack!
The semi-open design will provide zoning of the space, while slightly shading the far part of the room
For such purposes, you can choose a double-sided shelving, you can even order individual production. Thus, the “wall” will be functional on both sides, and each room will have a useful cabinet and shelves.Or you can use two racks (always with the back wall), and put them next. One to deploy in one room, the other in the next. Ideally, if the racks are tall enough to maximize the feeling of an enclosed space.
It is quite possible to hang the upper space with a curtain or put a large high decor on top of the cabinets: soft toys, indoor plants.
If you plan to put a bookcase in a nursery, carefully consider all the details of its appearance in advance. It is necessary to take into account the shape, design, the presence of doors and drawers.
For a children's room, a rack with drawers is perfect
Boxes can be wooden, plastic, fabric or wicker. The main thing is that they are comfortable, easily pulled out and pushed in
Most often, a bookcase for a child’s room has an open view: in such a way that numerous open shelves are formed. It’s possible to make a mess in a closed drawer or cabinet - and okay, no one sees it anyway. And then such a number will not work. What and how will stand on the shelves is important not only from a functional, but also from a practical point of view.
The main thing is not to clutter, but at the same time not to leave the shelves empty so that there is no feeling of emptiness and uninhabitation. Put books and textbooks, arrange decor.
Arrange decorative trifles evenly, and preferably without trifles, so as not to ripple in your eyes. On the top shelf, put something tall and large: bright artificial or indoor flowers in a colorful vase or pot, or a large plush hare.
Shelves of an open rack can be used to place books, especially on beautiful flights
Modern shelving for children's rooms have a different configuration and features. Get to know them to make it easier.
Shelving modular design provides the ability to build any configuration
This is a great option if you are looking for a universal rack in your children's room - such as to store there the clothes of the child, and his backpack, and books, and toys. Yes, and that was all beautiful! Not a problem.

Comfortable, beautiful, and always order in things! And most importantly - there is no need to buy several cabinets and shelves for different purposes.
A very convenient option for a small room. The corner rack will fit perfectly into the interior and decorate it, make the room cozy and beautiful, smooth the corners. Corner bookcase suitable for a small children's room. It is compact, elongated, beautiful.

On corner shelves, you can stack not only books, but also all kinds of decor. And the upper shelves take indoor plants.
The choice of rack sizes depends on the age of the child and the availability of free space
If the room’s space allows, it’s very convenient to use a horizontal rack for the nursery: voluminous furniture that gives the interior a special charm and coziness. You can put a variety of things on it - books and toys, watches, decor, electronics, even a TV or computer. And inside, store whatever your heart desires.Horizontal racks can combine open shelves and closed compartments for clothes, which is very convenient.
A horizontal rack is usually chosen for the smallest children.

Shelf-case - high, elongated up and straight, suitable for a small room. It can be completely closed, fully open or combined, with open shelves and doors. The pencil case is very convenient for storing books and school supplies, toys and baby clothes.
To increase stability, the structure must be securely fixed to the wall and floor
A beautiful house or a rack in the form of a typewriter, or even an animal - these are original options for a children's room that children really like. Such toy shelves look very nice, but when a child grows up and becomes a teenager, he is unlikely to be delighted with the idea of storing books and personal items in a too-children's locker.
Modern models of shelving are designers, consisting of a frame with cells and various additions to them in the form of containers, baskets or boxes
There are also universal models, for example, a shelving unit combined with a table in a children's room. Quite convenient: here is the workspace for the child, and a place for storage. For a small-sized nursery - the perfect solution.

As for color, there is where to take a walk. Modern manufacturers offer cabinets and shelves in a variety of colors, regardless of material. It can be plastic, natural wood with painting or coating and so on.
The color of the furniture is important, especially when decorating a room for a girl
Bright shades are good if you have a bright room. It is possible and necessary to select the color of the locker for the general gamut of the room, but not “color by color”, but with a slight difference. For example, if the whole room is made in yellow, then the cabinet should be made yellow, but slightly darker than the walls.
A bright color palette can decorate any interior of a child’s room, providing the child with an excellent mood
The second option is to pick it up under other furniture, say a sofa. And here you just have to get clearly in color, then you will create a harmonious ensemble. Example: if you have soft blue walls and a purple sofa in your nursery, then choose the same purple bookcase. And if there are stripes or a drawing of the same shade on the curtains, it will turn out very stylishly and correctly in terms of color design.
The purple bookcase looks good against a background of light wall decoration
Natural shades are also good. But in this case, the rack should be exactly the same material as the desktop of the child. And if there are still cabinets, cabinets or shelves in the room, then they, too, must be of the same material, of the same color. It can be light or dark wood, it will look very good. The main thing is that there should be no “disagreement”.
Wooden shelving - the most environmentally friendly and safe for the health of the child
Why not? White color looks fresh and gives the room lightness, a sense of purity and airiness. The white rack is suitable for a room made in soft, bright colors. Especially for the girl’s room, where there are many pastel shades. It is desirable that the table was white, or another element of furniture: that the white cupboard was not the only bright spot in the room.
Wicker drawers in an open white shelf
A good white cabinet will look in contrast with dark walls, for example, blue. If this is a boy’s room, then you can decorate the walls with blue, the curtains with blue and white stripes, and a white bookcase. Marine theme and very stylish!
Materials used in the manufacture of children's furniture must be certified and have a supporting document
Connect your imagination and remember that harmony, simplicity and no frills are the best assistants to a novice interior designer and everyone who independently draws up their cozy home!
