Not all parents have the opportunity to improve living conditions. Sometimes there are two or more kids living together in one room. And if they are also different sexes, the arrangement of space becomes a difficult task. Especially for those who decided to make repairs without involving specialists.
Today we will talk about how to equip the bedroom of children, so the children's needs are met.
Age
The first thing to do is to determine the children to one of the existing age categories: toddlers, preschoolers, elementary school, middle school-transitional age, high school.
If the difference in the age of children does not exceed 2-3 years, and the kids belong to the first three categories, the space, which in the future will be their children's room, it makes sense to divide into zones not based on gender, but based on certain functional areas necessary in the current period of life. As a rule, there are only three of them: sleep zone, play zone and development zone (modeling, drawing, classes). If the difference between the children exceeds three years, or one child is already in high school or older, then the emphasis in zoning should be made on two fundamentally different areas: create a separate corner for the boy and a separate - for his sister.
Zoning
Particular attention should be paid to assessing the size of the room, as this will determine the further trajectory of its planning. For example, if the space is more than 20 m2, to divide it, as a rule, it is better to divide it horizontally - that is, on the floor.
But you can not neglect and vertical division (along the walls), if the height of the ceilings allows it. To do this, it should reach at least 2.7 meters. In such rooms are appropriate experiments with bright colors. They can designate and visually highlight the personal space of each child.
Nevertheless, even in a child's room it is better to try not to make more than three color accents at the same time. Also do not forget that the colors should be selected including the degree of their brightness and intensity. In a small space, where the ceiling is from 2.7 meters, you can also safely apply vertical zoning. To the elements that help to realize this type of division traditionally include, for example, two-level beds, where the first and second floor - sleeping places.
If you need to divide the room not into functional zones, and on the basis of the "boy-girl", suitable beds-dormitories with working areas on the first level, and sleeping - on the second. In addition, modern furniture manufactures offer and more exotic options: complexes, where the first floor - a mattress, and the second - an interesting playhouse, gymnastic corner, storage area or other useful devices.
Rooms of small area is not desirable to overload the abundance of colored spots. When building an interior in such a children's room is much more advantageous solution will be to stick to neutral shades. If it is fundamentally important for parents to emphasize the gender differences of children, you can do it unobtrusively, small accents and details of the completion of the interior. By the way, choosing the look of the future room, it should be remembered that the colors carry not only a decorative function. If you take into account the psychology of color when creating a design project, you can promote the proper development of children and even their emotional stability.
Personal space
In the fact that two children have one common play area, in principle, there is nothing wrong. However, it is critical that developmental areas and storage spaces are individualized for each kid.
Any child should and wants to have his "workplace", belonging only to him alone, where you can freely dispose of their own drawers, shelves, racks and other storage for everyday objects and favorite toys. At the same time, parents should remember that the number of personal drawers and lockers of two children must necessarily coincide. This will not give one of them an extra reason to feel deprived and resent dad and mom.
This rule does not always apply to clothes. Often the closet of girls more diverse and richer, and under such a number of things, of course, requires a little more space. Usually boys do not pay attention to this detail and do not get angry at the parents who gave a sister more shelves in the closet, although it happens and otherwise.
But this principle becomes mandatory in relation to those things about which the child can say: "Mine!". This list includes favorite personal toys, books, notebooks, notebooks, notebooks, computers and other attributes. Provide a place to store all these things is mandatory for everyone individually.
