Arrange and decorate a child's room

The room is for the child a real place of life: he sleeps, plays there, works there and takes refuge in it.It is therefore essential that he feels well in his field.To define the decoration of the child's room, it is necessary to take into account your age, your personality and your desires.To do this, choose the theme and color in accordance with him.Do you prefer a sea theme and is rather trendy football?Leave him a section of wall or a virgin closet, so that he can pin and punish the photos of his idols at leisure.Or plan a shelf for its medals, cuts and other rejoicings.Finally, the frieze solution can be ideal for a discreet but effective touch of the style of its choice.

Do not choose furniture too marked early childhood (car or boat -shaped bed, princess convenient...)).When you agree on a theme, keep in mind that there is a good chance that his desires evolve according to fashion and his own tastes.Prefer a small touches decoration to a massive and repeated accumulation of the same print or the same theme.Bed ornaments, cushions, curtains, accessories and the color of the walls can be changed for a lower price in due time.The layout varies according to the surface of the room.The minimum is obviously sleeping.Immediately afterwards, the storage for clothing and toys come.

To give body to your ideas, gather, cut and glue fabric samples, wallpapers and photos corresponding to the desired atmosphere: this overview will allow you to confirm or deny your first impressions.

As far as possible, you must make the development of the child's room a common ground and not a source of conflict by wanting to impose your own choices. Les parents peuvent se faire plaisir si la chambre concerne un tout petit (de 0 à 5 ans)) mais au-delà il faudra tenir compte des goûts de l'enfant (avec une certaine mesure car les enfants changent vite d'avis)), sans parler de la chambre d'ado pour laquelle les parents ont à peine leur mot à dire !

The girl's room

From birth to her adolescence, your daughter's room deserves a female decoration but not too much.Far from the shots, leave the total pink look side and prefer touches here and there or more pastel shades with coral to powdery pink.Honor to white, taupe without neglecting purple and even invite blue, a color that is no longer the prerogative of boys, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.Also, play the card with patterned wallpaper, small flowers to animals and sift the atmosphere using a light garland.

Boy's room

We said above, blue is no longer hunting kept from boys, young or old.Even if we always like to apply it by keys, we reserve it to a unique wall, a wallpaper, a piece of furniture or a table, for example.And we offer a place of choice to green, from its pastel version to its deepest declination.Yellow can also brighten up a boy's room.On the decoration side, we give free rein to his imagination, while putting in place certain limits not to be crossed.Finally, we say yes to the teepee, provided that he does not take up too much space.

A unisex child's room

Do you prefer an unrealed child's room?The room can also adopt a unisex decoration which will be just as appreciable and more durable over time.We then favor beautiful natural colors in shades like white, beige, taupe or gray.On the color side with more character, the shades of yellow or green will be perfectly suitable.You can also choose them in a lively or more pastel version depending on the age of the child.For furniture, you can easily bet on neutral models by choosing wood, natural or white.

The sleeping area of the child's room

You can opt for a modular bed, which will grow with your child.Otherwise, choose a single bed, without headboard.And if you prefer a raised bed, there are some for all ages and you can arrange a play space on the ground, just below. Ensuite, décorez le lit à l'aide de coussins, doudous et draps colorés (mais pas bariolés)) qui se marieront à merveille avec les couleurs sobres que vous aurez choisies pour les murs.Don't forget a pretty night light for the night.

Colors in a child's room

All colors are welcome but not more than three different.Avoid loaded atmospheres because the toys and decor accessories already bring their share of colors.Prefer simple harmonies and united tones, pastel colors too.We can opt for a flat on one of the four walls.The other three remaining white and available for personal decoration, essential from a certain age.Avoid friezes and theme wallpapers that children quickly get tired of.

What floor in a child's room?

En général, les revêtements durs sont plus faciles d'entretien (donc considérés comme plus hygiéniques)) mais peu confortables quand il s'agit de jouer par terre.Besides, many parquet floors are covered by a carpet.Moquettes, long associated with the idea of dust nests and allergy managers, are today entitled to a return in grace.They are healthier, can be natural and are easier to maintain than before.They are comfortable and offer better thermal and acoustic comfort in the room.The carpet nevertheless requires the daily passage of the vacuum cleaner and is incompatible with the floor heating.

Storage of a child's room

Apart from a miracle, little can encourage a child to maintain their row room!Parents to make enough storage available to their children, to choose them accessible and easy to handle.Remember to place the cupboards, wardrobes, toy chests and dressers at hand of children: they will be all the more encouraged to store.Caisses of different colors, one per theme (puzzles, stuffed animals, coloring pages...)) will prove practical for the child and will integrate perfectly with the decor.Equipped with casters, they allow you to slip under the bed, for a real space gain.Squail gain also guaranteed thanks to a trunk as a bedside table, in which to slide books and reviews.Small objects, figurines and doll clothes will remain classified thanks to "columns" of transparent drawers.

A few tips also increase storage possibilities at a lower cost.Attach hooks behind the doors and hang canvas bags to collect toys or laundry.Pocket panels, which you can design yourself in two strokes of needle, will receive Drinks, Pens and Small Letses. Enfin, un hamac suspendu (à hauteur de l'enfant)) entre le lit et une étagère accueillera en vrac tous les jouets plus encombrants.

The children's bedroom office area

The office is not essential as long as the child does his homework under the supervision of parents because he often works elsewhere than in his room.But he usually formulates the request because having an office, it is a bit passing through "the court of the big ones".The volume of storage necessary is proportional to the level of studies: the more the years pass, the more books and notebooks increase in number, not to mention the archives of past years.We therefore provide a block of drawers and especially shelves securely attached to the wall.You can also recover an old piece of furniture - like school office - to act as an office in a vintage spirit.The size of the office can also evolve with age.Be careful, the greater the office, the more disorder it can contain.On the light side, the proximity of the window is sought after.If the light must come aside, it will then be necessary to take into account the hand with which the child writes so that there is no shadow on his sheet.

Safety in a child's room: it's essential!

Children must be able to play alone in their rooms, at any age.Vigilance is essential and some security precautions are essential:

Regarding heating, the ideal temperature is 20 ° C.Winter, use an electric convector and summer a mobile extra air conditioner.When the radiators are hot, a burn quickly arrived: plan a cache on the top, on which you can have books and toys.

Brightness level, the main lighting source must be fairly lively and can be provided by a suspension, a floor lamp or a wall light.Then opt for extra lamps, which allow you to vary the atmospheres: Soft light for the evening, more lively to work...Note, in the latter case, the lamp must be placed 60 cm from the child.Finally, for children who do not like black, there are nice-upwinds and for all budgets.

Clean a child's room

To clean up in this room, you just have to think of two or three basic little things that will save you many hassles:
