Expecting a baby is certainly a joyful time. And even the troubles associated with this period cause only positive emotions in future parents and their close circle. One of the important moments in this fuss is the preparation of the design of the children's bedroom, and the room for a newborn girl is a special sacrament. What to choose furniture, finishes, decor? Let's take a closer look at how to equip the comfortable and safe possessions of a little princess.
What rules should be followed when designing a nursery?
The main points that a modern nursery should meet:
- Ergonomics - a children's room should be comfortable, practical and beautiful. Modern furniture meets these requirements. For example, cribs with drawers, a pendulum mechanism and a changing table.
- The quality of materials - they must be environmentally friendly. Finishing and finishing building materials should be chosen only the safest, and children's furniture - wooden.
- No clutter - do not litter the space with unnecessary things.
- Comfort - design and furniture should be comfortable and evoke a feeling of coziness.
Important! It is better to place a children's room for a newborn not far from the parents' bedroom. It is also necessary to provide good natural lighting and fresh air. Noise isolation would also be very helpful.
Using these principles, you can develop a modern design for a nursery.
What materials to choose for a nursery for a newborn?
Which finish to choose? This question is most relevant when repairing a nursery. There are a number of recommendations:
- Floor. Coatings such as natural linoleum (made from jute, natural rubber, flax fibers) are more suitable for it, cork, tree. These types of materials are warm and non-slip, which is important for a little girl in her first years of life. The coating should be easy to clean, so it is better not to use carpet.
- Walls. The choice can be stopped on water-based paints, preferably with the label "for the children's room." Non-woven or paper wallpapers are also suitable, while vapor-proof vinyl, on the contrary, is not recommended.
It is advisable to use materials with a pronounced texture in the design of the room, which will contribute to the development of the baby.
- Ceiling. The ideal option would be a classic plastered or painted. Stretch ceilings are not recommended.
Important! All "wet" repairs should be completed long before the appearance of the newborn. The nursery should be completely free from the smell of finishing materials.
Choosing a color scheme for a children's room
Little princesses will feel most comfortable in interiors decorated in pastel, soothing colors. It can be classic pink, white, cream, peach, beige, blue, light green, light gray or light yellow for a children's bedroom. A calm color design will create a sense of peace and harmony, which is important for the baby's psyche.
Important! North-facing nurseries are best decorated in warm colors, and southern rooms are “friendly” with cool shades.
It is possible to provide for the division of children's possessions into zones and design a bed in neutral, light colors, and the intended play area in brighter colors. Another interesting design solution is removable pictures on the walls. They will serve as a good impetus for the emotional and intellectual development of the crumbs.
What style to choose for the nursery?
The nursery can be decorated in any style. This is a matter of taste, but having decided on it, it will be easier to select furniture, finishing materials, decors.You can use both classic and modern trends. Another option is thematic design of the room. Since the design is thought out for a girl, the use of a flower or puppet theme, butterflies, ruffles, bows is relevant.
Important! Any experiments in the children's area must meet the main requirements - safety, environmental friendliness, comfort.
Choosing and arranging furniture in a newborn nursery
Nursery design for a newborn girl does not provide for a large amount of furniture. For the first year of life, a crib and a chest of drawers with a changing table will be enough, above which you can provide a shelf for baby cosmetics.
The crib should not be placed in a draft, under a window or near a radiator. It should be located near the entrance to the children's room. The changing table is best placed next to the bed.
In the first months of life, the baby and mother are one, so you need to provide furniture for her. For example, a chair for feeding and an ottoman for relaxing near the crib.
Emphasis in the design of the nursery
If a design in neutral colors is chosen, brighter notes in the interior will help to correctly place accents. It can be curtains and pillows in rich colors. For example, light gray walls will go well with light green, purple, pink.
Another interesting solution would be to separate the nursery areas with the help of decorative partitions made in the form of a tree. This design will add a mysterious fairy tale effect to the little princess's apartment. The ceiling can be decorated with luminous stars or a special night light can be purchased: this will contribute to the intellectual development of the child.
How to light up a nursery?
In the first days of life, the baby is contraindicated in bright light. Protect your baby's crib from direct sunlight. The light should be soft, diffused. artificial lighting should be close to natural. Separately, it is worth providing for the illumination of the area of the crib and changing table. It is better if it is a wall sconce or floor lamp. A good option would be dimmable lighting fixtures that will help you choose the optimal level of light.
When installing electrical appliances, you should take care of the safety of an inquisitive crumb. Sockets in the nursery should be equipped with shutters or closed with plastic plugs, there should not be open wiring anywhere.
How to ensure the safety of the baby?
The development of the design of the children's room of a little princess should include the elimination of all risks to the life and health of her mistress. Places that require special attention:
- Window. They must be protected against being opened by children. This is especially true for high-rise buildings.
- Furniture. It should only be made from environmentally friendly materials. It is advisable to put in the nursery only the minimum necessary set.
Important! It is necessary to provide for the fixation of a chest of drawers, which loses its stability when several drawers are opened and can fall on the baby.
- The use of fabric in the nursery. Do not hang canopies, close the sides of the crib. Carpets are not recommended. All these are powerful accumulators of dust, which can provoke allergies and diseases of the girl's respiratory system.
- Electricity. It is necessary to provide maximum protection for each section of the outlet of the electrical wiring to the outside. Raise the lighting devices to a height inaccessible to the child.
- Flooring. It is recommended to use materials with a rough surface. The smooth floor in the nursery will be a serious obstacle for the first steps of the baby.
Security is the foundation on which the "castle" of the little princess is built.Therefore, all risk factors should be foreseen and eliminated.
