For the normal development of each child, he should have his own separate room. The physical, emotional, mental and intellectual development of the child depends on how the room is equipped.
Furniture selection
Nursery furniture should not remain unchanged from birth to adulthood. In each certain period of its growth and development, it is necessary to carry out rearrangements and changes in the room. This applies not only to the size of the furniture and bed, but also to additional devices: for creativity, homework for schoolchildren, games and hobbies. When changing furniture, in addition to convenience and size, pay attention to environmental friendliness and safety.
When choosing furniture, the following rules should be considered:
- Furniture should not be bulky and fill most of the space
- Choose furniture that saves free space in the nursery: a folding transforming bed, a transforming desk, an armchair-bed. Children's furniture should be easy to fold and unfold, move on wheels, be stable.
- Using furniture, create room zoning: a place to sleep, a place to play, a sports corner, a place to study and create.
If the family has more than two children, then a bunk bed will significantly save space in the room. Sometimes these beds are combined with a Swedish wall or a sports corner.
Arrangement of a room for a child up to 3 years
At first, the child does not need a lot of furniture and space. Basically it's a bed. But after a few months, when the child begins to crawl, tries to get up and tries to reach for various objects, the requirements for the situation in the room increase. The child, when trying to crawl or walk, often falls. Therefore, furniture should not have sharp corners and edges. The crib or playpen should have high walls so that the child does not climb over them. Children try to try everything on the tooth.
Furniture should not be covered with toxic varnish or paint. The table and chair must be appropriate for the height of the child. Drawers and furniture doors should be hard to reach or blocked. Carpet or other covering should be soft enough to cushion falls and be easy to wash and clean. The color of the situation should not be flashy or aggressive, disturbing the psyche. The color of the walls, ceiling and furniture is better to choose in pastel colors.
Room decoration for a child from 3 to 5 years
The child begins to more actively explore the world, is engaged in creativity, individuality is manifested in it. Furniture safety requirements remain the same: the absence of sharp corners, the inability to climb to great heights. During this period, the child begins to accustom to order. He is given a separate table for drawing and creativity, separate shelves or boxes with toys, a bed for sleeping.
You can add bright colors to the color scheme that evoke emotions: bright curtains or a bedspread on the bed, a sunny-colored bedside rug. Stickers are glued to furniture with images of what is in cabinets or drawers. At the end of this period, preparation for school begins. It makes sense to purchase shelves or a locker for books and school supplies.
