Obviously, such a palette will be an excellent backdrop for furniture and decor. On the other hand, psychologists argue that in order to train a baby’s brain and proper development, bright interior elements that can attract a child’s gaze are needed.

To decorate walls, it is better to use safe painting or wallpapering. Paper wallpaper with a vinyl surface will not only create an attractive appearance rooms, but they will also turn out to be practical option finishing the walls after a while, when the child begins to walk, and then draw on any surfaces. It’s unlikely that you planned to do renovations a year or two after the birth of the child, so it’s better to think about wall decoration with a margin of practicality and functionality that meets the growing needs of your child.

In addition, you can use coloring using special stencils, which are available in stores finishing materials. More expensive and unique way decorating the walls in the room of a small family member - artistic painting.

Ceiling

In the baby’s room it is better to abandon such popular ones today. suspended ceilings. The material used for finishing is completely synthetic. It is better to give preference to painting with safe materials. True, for this you need to achieve perfect flat surface ceiling either by plastering or by hanging structures.

Floors

To decorate floors in a children's room, designers recommend using cork material– it is environmentally friendly, pleasant to the touch, hypoallergenic and safe, easy to care for. True, the appearance of cork flooring may not appeal to all homeowners and may not suit every style of space design. You can also use laminate High Quality– the material cannot be called environmentally friendly from the point of view of the production method, but the options for allergic reactions to such a coating are becoming fewer and fewer every year, due to the improvement in the manufacturing process of floor covering products.

Another option for flooring is wood. floor board with varnish coating. The option is not cheap, but it is environmentally friendly natural material no one doubts that any interior style will look harmonious with such floor finishing.

One of the most undesirable flooring options for a baby's room is carpet. It is better to replace the solid fabric with small carpets that you can easily clean and take out of the room for ventilation. Bright small rugs can not only bring color variety to a child’s room, but also zone the room, highlighting play segments of the space.

Furniture for a baby's room

Wooden furniture is a clear favorite for arranging children's rooms. Natural material is environmentally friendly, durable and has an attractive appearance. Furniture made from unpainted wood brings the warmth of natural material into the atmosphere of the room, creating coziness and comfort.

Crib – a kaleidoscope of ideas

If you have the opportunity not to buy a crib for growth, but to buy a small cradle first, then be sure to use it. Psychologists say that for the first months of being in a crib, the child needs very little space so that he does not feel a sharp change in his stay, because the mother’s stomach was very tight, the baby was enveloped in warmth from all sides. In a small lullaby, babies sleep more peacefully. In addition, there are a lot of ideas for creating a unique design - cradles with a rocking mechanism, equipped with lighting and the ability to turn on quiet, pleasant music.

An original cradle made of wood is not just a place to sleep, but small house for the baby, creating “protection” from almost all sides. The theme of the starry sky in the design of the cradle is extended in the decoration of the corner for the baby.

And when the child grows out of a small cradle, and this will happen in six months, he can be moved to a crib, which will last him until he is two or three years old.

A round crib is a unique opportunity to create not only an original, comfortable, but also a safe place for your child to sleep. Of course, this option will not serve you for more than a year, but during this time it will also serve as a playpen. In addition, such models create a truly royal appearance for a room for a little prince or princess.

Metal cribs are strong and durable, they can serve as sleeping place more than one generation of children in the family. It is only important, when purchasing such a model, to make sure that there are no protruding forging parts in the design, that all surfaces are smooth, and that the decor is smooth and rounded. After all, only the first months the child lies in the crib almost motionless, then he will begin to get up and taste all the surfaces and objects that come his way.

Storage systems and changing tables

Open shelving for books and toys is the optimal option for organizing storage systems from a safety point of view. Low shelving does not have drawers and swing doors, which create many reasons for minor injuries in young children. The only thing you need to worry about is that the rack must be sufficiently stable and made of environmentally friendly materials.

A changing table located near the crib is an ideal furniture pair for arranging a room for a baby. The changing area will be more convenient if there are storage systems next to the table - shelves, drawers and cells for storing care products that are important to keep at hand.

Large chest of drawers for baby's things - effective method think over future growth baby. While he is just a baby and he has few clothes, but children grow very quickly, you will need a constant change of wardrobe and it is better if the storage systems in the baby’s room are sufficient for such an expansion. Chest of drawers with big amount drawers – great way systematize all wardrobe items and baby care products in order to spend as little time as possible searching for the right item.

Built-in storage systems will allow you to create a base for the future, when your baby’s wardrobe grows up and one small chest of drawers it will not be enough to store things and accessories. All you have to do is change the cradle to a crib, and in the future - to a sleeping place for a preschooler and teenager, and the storage systems will remain the same.

In addition to a sleeping place for a child and storage systems for toys, things and care products. Furniture for the parents must be installed in the room for the newborn. Whether it will be a comfortable rocking chair or a small couch, or maybe a full-fledged place to sleep is up to you. It depends, first of all, on the size of the room and your personal preferences.

If you install a chair near a crib, then do not forget to worry about the source of local lighting. Surely, this type of room setup is a temporary option, so it’s better to choose a tabletop or floor lamp and do not drill holes in the wall to install sconces.

One of the options for additional furniture is hanging round chair, which can be attached either to the ceiling or placed on a stationary tripod. This device helps rock the baby to sleep without holding him in your arms. Install next to a hanging chair comfortable spot for parents to sit and facilitate the process of rocking the baby.

Lighting, decor and textile design of space for a newborn

When decorating windows, it is better to give preference to simple textile solutions. It is important that the baby’s room is bright, so it is better to use transparent tulle as curtains or not to curtain the windows at all. You also need to think about window decoration options that will collect a minimum amount of dust. Choose simple curtains that will be easy for you to wash, avoid complex compositions, many folds, ruffles and lambrequins, minimize the presence of various fringes and tassels.

To create the required level of artificial light in the baby's room, you will need several light sources. In the area where the baby cot is installed, it can be used as hanging chandelier, so wall sconces, and in the so-called parent segment - install a floor lamp. Make sure the design lighting fixture was stable and safe.

Wall decor is one of the most effective ways to diversify the light wall decoration in a baby’s room. Family photos in bright frames, paintings depicting fairy tale characters or cartoon characters - they can be easily changed as the child’s preferences change as he grows up.

In terms of decorating a baby's room with carpets, it is important not to overdo it. At first, until the child learns to sit and then crawl, you will only need a small rug in the area of ​​the crib or changing table, where the parents will spend the most time.

Baby area in the parents' bedroom

Not everyone has the opportunity or desire to equip a separate room for a newly born baby. If they are setting up a place for a baby in their bedroom, then most likely they will not make repairs in connection with this event. At the very least, you need to ensure that there are no sources of loud sounds near the crib - a TV or a computer (if there are any in the bedroom). It will be more convenient if, in addition to a crib for a baby, you also install storage systems for children’s clothing and care products - the best option There will be a chest of drawers with a changing table.

Examples of room design for a newborn boy

We find it difficult to get rid of folding long years stereotypes on the topic of color preferences in boys and girls. No matter how many years the history of interior design goes, they will never stop decorating rooms for boys in blue tones, and for girls in pink. From point of view color choice, the small owner of the room is indifferent to the ways of decorating the walls and furnishing the room with furniture in certain colors. For a favorable atmosphere in the baby's room, it is important that parents like the environment and the accepted color solutions, then the child will be happy. In the future, he himself will be able to talk about his preferences in color scheme.

Quick navigation through the article

The interior of a newborn’s room should not be expensive and have a complex design like from a magazine picture. The main thing is that everything in it is comfortable and safe for the baby. And yet... after all, this is the child’s first room, moreover, for some time it is both a room for the mother and a place for memorable photographs. We decided to compile not only a step-by-step guide to preparing a children's bedroom, but also a selection of photo ideas for your design inspiration.

Step 1. Choose a room and plan renovations

If you have the opportunity to choose a room, then preference should be given to the one that is located closer to the parents’ bedroom, well ventilated and lit.

All repairs and Finishing work you need to finish it long before the baby arrives, so that you have time for possible modifications and alterations.

As for the choice of finishing materials, it is, of course, desirable that they be predominantly natural. Here are some tips that can help you with this:

• The best floor coverings: , flooring or parquet board varnished. Less suitable: (since it is cold, slippery and collects dust), PVC linoleum (although its harm has not been proven) and carpet (collects dust. But it greatly depends on the type of carpet, read about it).
• For wall decoration, paints based on water based marked “for children's rooms” or “Kid”, as well as . The worst choice would be vinyl wallpaper.
• It is better to simply whitewash the ceiling and additionally treat it with an antiseptic primer. From tension and plasterboard structures It's better to refuse.

Wallpaper in a newborn's room should have neutral tones and an unobtrusive pattern.

Step 2. Developing an interior color scheme

In the interior of a children's room for a newborn, the use of pastel shades for walls, curtains and furniture is encouraged. This is necessary so that the child can easily fall asleep without being distracted by anything. Bright colors in a child's bedroom are also necessary, but they should be present only in spots, for example, in the form of rattles.

• By the way, the first colors your baby will be introduced to will be red and yellow. And until 1.5-2 months he will see the world... in black and white.

What pastel shades can choose?

• If you don’t yet know the gender of the child or want to decorate the room in a gender-neutral way, then the following tones are suitable: white, cream, pale yellow, beige, .
• The interior of a newborn girl’s room (except for those listed above) can be decorated with cream or coral shades. The interior of the boy's room is light gray, light green.

In addition to personal preferences, be sure to take into account the orientation of the room to the cardinal points:

• For dark “northern” children's rooms, it is better to choose warm shades.
• For a room facing south, you can choose any colors, but cool shades will be especially successful.

We present examples of the design of a newborn’s nursery in the following selection of photos.

Step 3. Decide on the interior style

Think about which design direction is closer to you? It is not necessary to strictly adhere to the chosen style, but still this decision will make it easier for you to choose furniture, bedding and other attributes of the nursery.

• All styles can be divided into two groups: classical (empire, etc.) and modern (minimalism,).
• There is also a third way - you can decorate the interior thematically. For example, decorate a girl’s room in the theme of a princess, ballerina, butterflies, etc., and a boy’s room in a circus style, in the theme of cars and airplanes, etc.

Do not forget that style solutions should not contradict the most important thing - the comfort and safety of the child. Examples of design of children's rooms decorated in different styles and topics, see below.

Step 4. Select and arrange furniture

• Crib;
• Changing table (or an ordinary chest of drawers with a changing mat);
• A chair or rocking chair for feeding the baby;
• A chest of drawers or a cabinet (if the changing table does not have storage drawers).

Additionally you can buy:

• Ottoman for mom's feet;
• A shelf that can be hung above the changing table for convenience;
• A couch to lull, rest and sleep next to your baby if necessary;
• A nightstand that can be placed near a high chair or couch;
• Small closet for storing things.

So, of all the above, the most important pieces of furniture are the crib and changing table. It is on them that we will dwell in more detail. Let's start with the crib. It is clear that it must be safe, environmentally friendly and convenient. How to find one?

• It must be made of wood;
• Recommended size - 120x60 cm;
• The frame must stand firmly. It would be good if the sides and bottom of the bed were adjustable;
• A removable or folding side wall will allow you to swaddle your baby right in the crib;
• The legs may have wheels with stoppers;
• If you want to buy a rocking bed, then choose a model that can be fixed in a stationary state;
• There should be a distance of no more than 6 cm between the side slats;
• Often there is a storage drawer built under the bottom of the bed. If in the room, then an under-bed drawer is a great addition.
• The crib mattress should be hard and have a hypoallergenic filler. Coconut flakes, felt, seaweed or buckwheat husks are best suited for this.

A changing table is not an essential item, but it is advisable to have it.

• Its height should be such that you do not bend over while caring for your child.
• Place the first aid kit, pacifier, powder, cotton buds, oil and other necessities in the top drawer of the chest of drawers or on the shelf above it.
• Instead of a changing table, you can buy a changing bed board.
• You can swaddle your baby on the bed, on the sofa, and on the table covered with a blanket.

We present examples of the arrangement and decor of a changing table in the following photo slider.

Where to put the crib and changing table? By the way, the layout of the room needs to be thought through, starting with the placement of these strategically important items.

• The bed should be in a bright part of the room, but not opposite a window, not next to a radiator, and not too far from the entrance.
• The changing table should be located near the crib.

Step 5. Buy everything else

Let's continue the shopping list of what you need to decorate your nursery:

1. Curtains are made of thick natural or mixed fabric, which not only decorates the interior, but is also easy to wash, remove and hang.
2. Lamps – except ceiling chandelier, you need to place a floor lamp or one with soft, dim light, for example, near a changing table and/or chair.
3. Pillow – the need for one for infants under 5 months is highly questionable and controversial. Pediatricians recommend using flat pillows or pillowcases folded in four.
4. Blanket – there should be two of them (not counting the walking blanket). One light one, for example, fleece - for the summer, the second wool, padding polyester or flannelette - for the winter.
5. Bed sheets– cotton or knitted. You will need to prepare 2-3 sets.
6. Mobile – there is an opinion that children do not need mobile phones, we recommend that you read this issue separately.
7. Video and baby monitor- if desired.
8. Garbage bin for diapers, used wipes, etc.

Finishing touches

1. In a newborn’s bedroom there should be as few “dust collectors” as possible - unnecessary things, accessories, books, toys (especially soft ones) and carpets. Before a new tenant moves in, the room needs to be thoroughly cleaned.
2. You will also need to hang a thermometer to control the temperature - it should be 20-22 degrees.
3. It is better to close electrical outlets with special plugs.

In anticipation of the birth of the child, parents try to arrange his room. Undoubtedly, the nursery will change its appearance over time, as the baby grows and his desires and needs also do not stand still. That's why parents can do it perfect room precisely on the eve of the birth of a baby, acting in accordance with one’s own desires.

Nuances of zoning a children's room

Most pediatricians believe that a good room for a baby should be functional and comfortable. It regulates the air temperature and humidity level, allows for ventilation, has properly designed lighting and sound insulation, and the finishing materials used in decorating the room are safe.

Since the child is constantly growing and developing, optimal layout The room should have several zones:

• game part;
• sleeping area;
• space for study (in the future);

It’s great if the nursery has a cradle or changing table in addition to the crib. The zoning itself is carried out through the arrangement of furniture, the use of screens, and through floor and wall coverings.

The center of the children's room should be empty so that the baby can play there. In general, zoning serves to optimize room space.

Finishing work in the room for a newborn

Wall coverings in a children's room can be:

• wallpaper for painting;
• wallpaper that can be washed;
• dye.

Young children often love to draw, including on walls. Therefore, parents need to be prepared to change the wall covering in a couple of years.

Wallpaper for a nursery should be chosen in a single color, or with a small pattern. They must be paper or have vinyl covering. A wall with photo wallpaper (if there is only one and not opposite the bed) of a corresponding theme will be interesting. If paint is used, it is necessary to use acrylic, waterproof, odorless models.

The design of a room for a newborn is made based on the gender of the child: pink and gold are more suitable for girls, and blue and gold are more suitable for boys. blue colors. The presence of wall carpets is unacceptable, since they will perfectly collect dust.

For a growing baby, from about three months, when he becomes more active and inquisitive, the floor turns out to be the most familiar place to spend his time. Therefore, the choice of flooring should be approached carefully. You can use laminate or cork, or a wooden floor board.

The main thing is that the coating meets safety requirements, is of high quality and environmentally friendly. When laying floors, it is recommended to properly seal the seams, since they will be washed frequently.

It makes no sense to make the ceiling in a nursery complex, for example, multi-level using plasterboard slabs. Such a ceiling may frighten the child or exert some psychological pressure. It is also not recommended to use bright colors, use details in rich tones. When repairs are necessary, it is best to stretch the ceilings.

Pediatricians unanimously say that bright light in a children's room is appropriate for older children; babies under 3 months must be protected from exposure to blinding sunlight. Artificial lighting should be soft and warm. It makes sense to install a night light near the bed.

As for the windows, they are covered with light curtains that can diffuse sunlight, install Mosquito nets. The design of the curtains should be simple; multi-layered options with ruffles will be inappropriate due to dust collection.

Furniture for the nursery

First of all, we are talking about a crib for a newborn. The main selection criteria are comfort, reliability and safety. In terms of placement, it is better to place the crib in a quiet place, away from windows and doors.

If the room for a newborn is small, then it is undesirable to use bulky transforming beds that eat up usable space. Although the issue of choosing a crib remains at the discretion of the parents.

A newborn does not need as much furniture as it might seem at first glance. To make it convenient for mom to follow the regime, she will need:

• chest of drawers for storing clothes and toys;
• changing table; to save space, a chest of drawers is better;
• chair or small sofa for feeding the baby.

Furniture should not have sharp corners or dangerous protrusions and must meet environmental safety requirements. Correct layout The premises will make parental movement free and leave space for mastering the skills of crawling and walking.

Decorations for children's room

One of the necessary and beautiful solutions– a protective border in the crib that protects from drafts and prevents the child from hitting the sides. If you have certain skills, any mother can make a border. They are also on sale, and different sizes for different beds.

Another way to decorate a room for a newborn is to hang baby photos on the wall. You can sew an outwardly funny organizer for storing hygiene products, diapers and others. necessary for the baby accessories.

IN play area You can place a developmental mat, made with your own hands or purchased in a store.

Temperature, humidity and cleaning in the children's room

Your baby's airways are extremely sensitive, dry or too wet air may harm his health. The optimal level is considered to be 50-70% humidity. To control the humidity and temperature in a room, it makes sense to purchase a special multifunctional device that combines a clock, a thermometer and a humidity meter.

It is also worth placing a humidifier in the newborn's room. In autumn and spring, when air humidity may exceed the norm, the amount of ventilation should be increased slightly, while making sure that the baby does not get blown out. The average number of airings, including this procedure before bedtime, is at least 3-4 times.

The temperature is maintained at 22-24ºС. If the child is bathed in the room, it is raised to 25-28ºС. Over time, when the baby begins to move actively, in order to avoid overheating, it makes sense to lower the temperature to 20-22ºС.

Wet cleaning of the nursery should be done daily. It includes: mopping floors, removing dust from bedding, wiping surfaces from dust.

In addition, it is necessary to clean the windows and wash the curtains monthly, and wipe the walls with a damp cloth every 3 months without using chemical cleaners.

Creating space for a baby is accompanied by pleasant chores. Selecting the right things, finding a suitable crib, reviewing photos of rooms for a newborn on the Internet, selecting ideas for the interior, and finally making repairs - all this will take a lot of time and require financial investments, however, the joy of motherhood and fatherhood will certainly overshadow all the difficulties.
