Basic criteria for choosing things for a child’s room
When choosing items, it is recommended to seek advice from a specialist. But independent purchases are also guided by a number of simple rules:
In the children's corner, it is necessary to select only the necessary household items in order to avoid unnecessary clutter of items that will later turn out to be superfluous for the baby. There should be as much free space as possible in the room for educational games.
The main rule when choosing the furnishings of a child’s apartment is safety, that is, the absence of sharp corners, glass shelves and unnecessary doors. The crib where the baby sleeps must have sides to avoid dangerous falls.
It is wise to choose things that match the baby’s height so that he can independently reach the things he needs.
Materials for manufacturing should be taken environmentally friendly: wood, natural varnish for covering individual interior parts, etc.
To develop good taste and personality of the child, it is recommended to buy only attractive and beautiful decoration items.
Rules for choosing colors for the nursery
Parents are usually interested in the question: what color should they buy for their children? The range of colors in this room is quite large. Experienced psychologists rightly claim that colors greatly influence the psyche of a growing baby, that is, they simultaneously promote calmness and develop a creative personality in him.
The decoration of the gaming compartment is best done in blue and green tones. You should not use red, green, yellow and orange colors, because they bring unnecessary excitement and put pressure on the nervous system of a growing, fragile organism.
So, until the first two years of life, it is recommended to surround the baby with calm, warm shades. Cozy, restrained colors (pastel yellow, light beige, milky) visually create a feeling of security.
But as you grow, you should make the nursery the brightest and most eye-catching room in the house by choosing a contrasting combination of colors. This environment will allow your little one to fully frolic, do business and relax.
Psychologists note that too dark colors for decorating your child’s room have a depressing effect on his mood, psyche and perception. And light and bright details will only evoke a positive emotional state in children.
Decorating two-color walls will significantly break up the monotony and give the room an interesting, unique appearance. An interesting solution would be a combination of warm and cold shades. As an example: one wall is made in yellow, and the other is a light blue shade with small drawings.
Child's age: how to choose the right things?
With the advent of a tiny baby, the question arises: how to properly design a children's corner. A newborn baby will only need a comfortable soft cradle, so the furnishings are designed according to the mother’s choice and individual taste.
As a rule, the room will come in handy with a chair for feeding the baby, a changing table and shelves, or a box for the necessary hygiene items. When the baby grows up, there is a need for new interior details of the space. As soon as the baby can sit, he needs a set with a high chair, a crib with sides, etc.
For a baby under one year old, it would be wise to purchase a soft playpen that will limit the space for safe play. A little later you will need a table and chair for drawing and a fence for the first movement.

At about three years old, the little one will need his own personal chest of drawers or closet for clothes, as their quantity will increase noticeably. Then you should put a cabinet and a wall for numerous toys. Next, the playpen needs to be replaced with a slightly larger, low bed with sides.
About five years old, a child will need a full-fledged place for study and relaxation: a table with good lighting, an adjustable chair, shelves, racks. It is better for a student to choose a shelving unit with open shelves and a table with a large number of drawers for writing instruments and stationery items.

Children's room for boy and girl
Typically, a set of furniture for a boy’s nursery consists of the following necessary components:
- bed;
- table and chair;
- locker or bedside table for clothes.
The personal space of a preschool child can be interestingly decorated with bright thematic things: the shape of a ship (sea theme) or a car. As a rule, the interior is done in blue or blue colors.
A rather interesting design option is a loft bed, where the upper level serves as a sleeping area, and below there is either a closet or a work area.
Photos of a set of children's furniture for a girl show traditional interior colors: pink, beige, lilac, white shades. Girls' sets include a wardrobe, a large mirror, and a corner for playing with dolls.
A girl’s bed is decorated with openwork accessories, patterns and carvings, and an elegant canopy is hung.
The young beauty will need a chest of drawers with a mirror, a dressing table and a bedside table for girly accessories.
If the child is passionate about something, then a separate corner for the needlewoman will be required. For example: a sewing machine, embroidery machine or painting easel.
The positive impact of original furniture design on the development of preschool children
Preschool children develop more comprehensively and harmoniously if they can constantly use the surrounding space in games - create, experiment, explore. You can also use non-standard furniture in the learning and development process.
Bright soft modules of different shapes and transformable tables allow kids to learn geometric shapes while playing, develop spatial thinking and show that things can be multifunctional. Now it’s furniture, then it’s parts of a large construction set.
Game furniture: large models of transport, interior items of a hospital, store, laboratory, living room, kitchen or bedroom are used in role-playing games. Preschoolers dramatize stories from life, realize the need for self-expression and try on professions.
Designer shelves in the shape of a steam locomotive, a rocket, a traffic light, a ship, or a fire engine help develop imagination and stimulate active activity and joint games. Children learn to convey the positive and negative character traits of their heroes - astronauts, pirates, rescuers.
