Interior design options in a narrow children's bedroom

All parents want to create a cozy corner for their child in their home so that it is comfortable, nothing worries and does not interfere with full development. Creating a design in the room where the baby lives is not an easy task, and a narrow children's room creates additional difficulties in design.

To make a narrow room as attractive and cozy as possible, you need to look at some design techniques

The main accents in the interior of the narrow children's bedroom

Such rooms are often found in panel houses, and redevelopment of an apartment to create a comfortable room is a rather complicated and expensive procedure. When decorating a rectangular nursery, you need to calculate everything to the smallest detail.

In a small room, you will have to rationally use literally every centimeter of available space

Emphasis for narrow spaces:

• Surface finish. It is necessary to choose the lightest palette, preferably without drawings. You can decorate one of the walls with murals with natural landscapes, animals or children's motifs, the choice depends on the gender and age of the child. Color should soothe the baby. An excellent choice will be: light green, light green, milk, beige, pearl, pink and blue.
• Using windowsill and window. In the window opening, organize a shelf for books and textbooks, the windowsill will be a great place for beautiful crafts and your favorite toys. A great option would be to expand the windowsill and create a table on it, this will save the usable area in the room, and the countertop will be installed in the right place.

• The correct layout. Set a table for games and study by the window, under natural light, children's eyes will be less tired, especially if you have a schoolboy. If only one child lives in the room, then the bed and wardrobe can be placed along one of the walls. If the children's rectangular room is designed for two, there is a need to use both walls: we leave the window free, and on both sides we set up a double table, bed and bedside table for individual accessories.
• The use of walls. Equip the free space above the front door, window and bed with hanging cabinets and shelves. Pay attention to the corner models of furniture, it will take up less space in the room. A small part of the wall or the area of ​​the door can be used for chalky wallpapers, then it is less likely that your child will paint the walls.

• Transverse stripes. Parquet in the decoration of the floor must be installed across the room, so you visually expand the space, you can also use a striped carpet across.
• The design of the door. It is better to refuse a simple hinged door. Make the arched opening as high as possible, which you can frame with small shelves for storing toys and books. The arch needs to be curtained with something, to create a child's sense of privacy, light vertical blinds or a curtain will do. Pay attention to the sliding doors that even a baby can handle.
• Decorating elements.Curtains in the design of a children's long room should only close the window, abandon the models in the entire wall, the child should push them apart when necessary. Perfect for rolled, Roman and panel models in the colors of the walls and drawings in the children's theme.
  

  With compact curtains on the window, a narrow room will appear wider and more spacious

Narrow children's zoning options

For a comfortable stay, any room needs zoning, especially if two children live in it. The design of the children's room narrow and long in this case creates certain difficulties, but when using small tricks, it is quite solvable.

Contrast decor on the end wall helps to change the uncomfortable geometry of the elongated space

Proper separation of space:

1. Zoning a narrow long nursery. A thin plasterboard partition with open shelves for books and toys will help to divide the room. Pay attention to the transparent plexiglass partitions that are not broken and safe for the children's room. They visually divide the room without obscuring it. You can divide the room into two triangular zones using the difference in tones of the finishing materials. Settings on the diagonal of a small screen on which you can hang a magnetic board to study letters and numbers, drawing or assembling a puzzle.
2. Zoning a rectangular nursery. Zoning methods depend on the area of ​​the room and the number of children living in it. A children's rectangular room can be easily zoned if it is intended for one child by installing a partition between the work table and the berth. But if it’s a narrow nursery for two, you need to think it over.

Modular constructions of a bunk bed with racks and cabinets bordering it will help to arrange a berth and separate it from the games and classes. A bed on the podium will visually divide the room and create additional storage spaces. Consider options for catwalks with pull-out beds that slide in during the daytime and do not interfere with children playing.

Folding beds are another practical solution for small spaces.

When installing two beds at the same time, get a ceiling sliding screens, they will create a small corner of personal space for children.

During zoning, it is necessary to ensure that partitions or racks do not interfere with the penetration of natural light into the room

Methods for finishing a narrow children's room

Finishing materials can help correct a narrow room and visually make the room wider, the main thing is a correctly selected color palette. An excellent solution would be the choice of materials with the effect of mother of pearl, which, being poured in the sun, will give the room airiness and brightness.

The choice of materials for surface decoration:

• Ceiling Finish. The usual whitewashed or painted ceiling in the nursery will not cause positive emotions in the baby before bedtime. Consider the options for a stretch ceiling, which can be decorated in the form of a starry sky with lighting, a falling waterfall or a blue sky with white clouds and flying birds. Connect your imagination and think about what decoration on the ceiling will have a calming effect for the baby.
  

  The ceiling in an elongated room should not be overloaded with multi-tiered structures

• Floor finish. It is better to make it as light as possible from moisture resistant seamless materials. We exclude parquet and laminate, which are afraid of water often spilled by children. The carpet is also not suitable, the material collects dust, which is unsafe for the child.Children often play on the floor, so it is better to choose linoleum with the installation of the "warm floor" system - this will protect your baby from the common cold. Cork material is an excellent choice, it holds well and retains heat, and has unique soundproofing properties. You can choose a relatively new material - this is a quartz vinyl coating, a bit like a carpet. Aesthetic, cozy and warm material is suitable for children and does not cause allergies.
  

  Light color flooring - the best solution for narrow spaces

• Wall decoration. Take wallpaper or decorative plaster in pastel colors with light textured patterns as the basis. On one wall, you can create a stencil paint in the form of a rainbow and flowers, animals and cartoon characters - this will give the room personality and belonging to your baby. Wallpaper is better to choose paper, other options based on vinyl can develop allergic reactions. Decorative plaster and paint are also suitable, painted walls are easier to wash after the creative manifestation of the baby.
  

  If you want to wallpaper a room, let it be light wallpaper with a small and unobtrusive pattern.

Creating the necessary lighting in a narrow nursery

The main parameter in the organization of lighting in the nursery is safety. In addition to the main light source on the ceiling, it is necessary to illuminate all the functional areas in the room. A narrow room for two children implies the installation of a large table or small two for schoolchildren; for each child, organize an independent light source.

The best place for the table is in front of the window, where it will be well lit by natural light.

In the rest and sleep area, arrange bedtime reading lights for schoolchildren or install a small spotlight for babies who are afraid to sleep in the dark. For fixtures, choose lamps with a soft and calm spectrum of light.

Volumetric pendant lights or a massive chandelier is not the best option for a narrow room

More appropriate would be compact wall sconces or spotlights built into the ceiling of a room

Basic safety rules for the organization of lighting in the nursery:

• Install light fixtures, switches and sockets in inaccessible places in the nursery for young children. Choose sockets with protection against children.
• It is better to lay the wires in the walls and close the finish.
• Discard large glass chandeliers and shades, choose models from plastic that is safe to fall.
• Floor lamps can also be dangerous during games, give preference to stationary models of fixtures that are attached to the wall and furniture.

Suspended “scatter” lamps visually change the perception of space and balance long walls

The choice of furniture for a narrow nursery

When choosing furniture for children, the main criterion should be the environmental friendliness of the materials, it is better to choose natural wood. The absence of sharp corners and glass inserts that can lead to injuries is also an important factor.

The bed is the most important and bulky piece of furniture. Therefore, it should be not only beautiful, but also as functional as possible.

It is necessary to take into account the age of the child, if it is an elongated room for a teenager, it is better to install a two-tier corner of the student with a large work desk below and a berth at the top. For older children, an additional couch or sofa is installed for friends.

In a room with a high ceiling, a podium design or a berth on the second tier is appropriate

For the kids, a crib, a chest of drawers and a changing table are enough, and the rest is left free, where the child begins to crawl and take the first steps.For young children, the color of the furniture is very important: calm and unobtrusive, without bright accents, for development he will have enough toys in the play area.

For a very narrow room, most often choose a single-row or L-shaped layout

Children who go to kindergarten or elementary school need a table and the most open area for games. The best choice would be modular furniture, from which you can exhibit different models of furniture based on the individual needs of the child. With older children when buying furniture, you need to go to the store with them, consult, and make decisions according to your child’s preferences.

The loft bed will allow you to allocate additional space for classes, games or for the installation of a folding sofa

Proper arrangement of furniture in the children's room

Depends on the number of children living in the room and their age. A mandatory element of the interior for schoolchildren will be a table installed by the window. If you have two children, purchase a twin model with one countertop. The bed is set along one of the walls, it can be a two-story model for two, two beds with curtains or a small ottoman for one child.

A bunk bed will be the best solution when placing two children in a room

The corner wardrobe will fit perfectly in the corner at the door, while the wall remains free, on which you can hang shelves for small items and books, create a cozy corner with a mirror for girls. In a narrow space, furniture with rounded and oval shapes will look better.

A two-row layout is permissible if a passage with a width of at least 1 meter remains between the rows of furniture

When installing a sofa for sleeping, give preference to corner models that occupy one corner in the room and there will be enough free space for games and entertainment.

You can fill in the empty corners in a narrow bedroom with built-in structures - cabinets for storing things or open shelves for books and decorations

All furniture in a small room should be multifunctional, manufacturers offer many models of this type, and you can easily choose the suitable option that will be convenient and comfortable for children.

Long planes can be decorated with paintings, mirrors or drawings - decorating the walls in the center makes the room wider

When creating an interior in a nursery, pay attention to what your child loves. What colors, cartoons and fairy tales are preferred, first of all, based on his wishes. Then you will rarely see your child in the living room, he will spend the night and spend the night in his room.
