Some children's rooms in the process of use, not only the layout, area, orientation lights layout problems, in terms of interior decoration also have a negative impact on the child's learning, rest and play activities. Probably categorized and summarized as five aspects - safety, sleep, learning, playing, storage. And if you want to learn more about the tips,the best way is to visit Shanghai Furniture Fair.

 

 


First, the children's room floor plan design recommendations

Children's room design mainly includes two parts of the layout design and interior decoration. In the children's room of the plane is not worth the design process, to consider the room orientation, area, depth and other factors. At the same time, as a part of the set as a whole, the children's room and the location of other rooms should also be carefully considered.

 

1, the children's room in the set location

Children's room should be arranged adjacent to the master bedroom. Preschool and lower elementary school stage children due to the ability to live independently is relatively poor, there is still a strong dependence on parents, so the children's room and the master bedroom adjacent to the location is not worth it can be convenient for parents to take care of their children nearby.

 

In addition, the child grows up in high school, college, not often live at home, the vacant children's room can also be used as a master bedroom study, activity room, thus forming the master bedroom suite or master bedroom area, to improve the utilization of the room.

 

Different sets of plane, the children's room has two common layout: in the set of deeper and limited width of the case, the children's room will be set up for the master bedroom of the north room, convenient for parents to observe the child's situation; in the set of a larger width there are two south bedrooms, the children's room can be set up with the master bedroom adjacent to the south room. Such a room, better lighting conditions, convenient for children to study, activities.

 

2, children's room of the five functional partitions

For children, the children's room is a collection of many functions of the activity space. Among them, the sleeping area, learning area and activity area are three essential functional partitions to meet the child rest, learning and relaxation of the basic daily activities. In addition, the children's room also needs storage area and display area, which is often overlooked space: storage area can provide a centralized storage place for a variety of sundries, display area can display the child's hobby in the process of growing up, memorable works and awards and so on.

 

Currently the size of the children's room compared to other areas will be more constrained by the size of the house. For large households for children's room area is more generous, have the conditions to meet the different layout of furniture, while for small and medium-sized households, children's room is often limited area. Plane size in the design needs to be more refined to make it as much as possible to meet the diverse functions of the children's room.

 

The following are the location of the children's room five functional zoning relationships and design points:

 

When the children's room net width of 3.2 meters or more, the use of the area between 10-15 square meters, generally can form a more ideal “comfortable” children's room layout. Various functional areas of appropriate size, according to the child's preferences and characteristics of the furniture arrangement;

 

When the children's room width in 3m or so, the use of the area of 8-10 square meters, the formation of a “compact” layout of the children's room, the design is relatively difficult to take into account the layout of the furniture, doors and windows, as well as the location of parents and children in the room of the line of motion and other factors, to ensure that the children's room at a minimum of the basic functions, if the room size is smaller, it can be formed. If the size of the room is smaller, it can be considered through three-dimensional ideas to help children create a better life and growth of the world.

 

3, the flexibility of the children's room

From toddler to adult, the child's activity needs and physical and mental conditions will have great changes: favorite toys as a child may later become a collection of collectibles; desks and bookcases will become more and more insufficient with the increased burden of learning, in order to make the children's room to meet the child's needs at all stages of growth, the size and shape of the room should be taken into account in the furniture is not worth the variety of possibilities, try to achieve a Stronger flexibility.

 

Bed: Younger children are more likely to move when they sleep, parents are afraid of children falling out of bed, so they will arrange the long side of the bed and the head of the bed against the wall, to protect the child to sleep safely and give a sense of security, while the activity area is also very large.

 

When the child grows up, parents will be more concerned about the convenience of the child's overall room layout and storage, so the location of the bed may need to be changed. In addition to this desks, storage cabinets, etc. will also change as the child grows up, so the design should take into account this situation. Therefore, it is not recommended that children's rooms do tatami mats or the whole house customization, according to the child's age to adapt to the local conditions, to avoid a fixed, one-step decoration program.

 

Desk: It is not recommended to buy the market to sell high-end slanted “specifically for children to develop” the kind of study table, the premium is too high. Some parents will ask, beveled relative to the plane what are the advantages, why many manufacturers are out of the beveled?

 

In fact, for reading and writing, there is no difference between flat and beveled, the difference is mainly in painting. Beveled surfaces help with drawing, but if the family learns to draw, the family will usually buy an easel for the child to use. And that kind of “professional” study table, the premium is very high, and the table top is too small, a lot of items used for learning can not be put, and parents in the accompanying reading is not much space. Therefore, we recommend a flat table that can be lifted electrically.

 

4, to create a space to paint at will

Every baby is like a natural “little painter”, whether it is a freshly painted wall, or a new drawing board, as long as the child likes, it will not be spared. From the point of view of children's education, you can allow your child to create at home, to protect the baby's interest in doodling. However, because the child is small, the strength of holding the brush is not enough, so the blackboard, drawing board for the child is not the optimal solution, and the child is naturally active, fixed a certain area does not allow the child to be obedient only in this area to scribble. Therefore, you need to create a wall for your child that can be painted at will and easily scrubbed.

 

5, Environmental issues

This is also the most important point of domestic parents, in fact, the children's room latex paint, furniture, flooring, curtains and other products are very good choice, not to say that you have to buy really expensive “children's special” products will be no problem, but also not to say that after the renovation must be done after all kinds of deformaldehyde. As long as the source control, children's room decoration is not a problem. Be careful to buy “children special” “mother and child special” “E0 level that is installed to live” this product is often a particularly high premium.

 

Second, the children's room interior design of the 10 “pit points”

Completed the children's room layout design, does not mean that a good children's room is completed, naive not .

 

In the process of children's room decoration, there are still a number of poorly designed and produced by the safety hazards and inconvenience problems. Therefore, after a long time of research, but also refer to some literature and related recommendations, listed below these issues and points, I hope to help parents to do self-check to avoid pits, so that their children's room is more safe and practical, words do not say, arrangements!

 

1, minimize the use of large areas of glass and mirrors

Children's room should not be practical large amounts of glass, mirrors and other fragile items. Some families will choose to install large mirrors in the children's room, so that the room feels more spacious. But mirrors, glass and other glass products due to fragile and has a great danger, the child in the process of playing is very easy to collision and was scratched by the debris.


 

2, pay attention to the stability of the furniture, to prevent the fall of the smash injury

Children's height is limited, children like to climb and play, some bedside lamps, floor lamps, storage racks and other high size furniture is very easy to climb in the process of the child to push the shaking, if there is no good back of the fixed, it is easy to collapse or shake leading to the collapse of heavy objects smashed children. Therefore, the children's room should be set low, stable, solid furniture. At the same time to avoid fragile, heavy, sharp objects placed in high places to prevent accidents.

 

3, avoid sharp edges of the furniture

Children's rooms should not use sharp-edged furniture. Room furniture corners will often make the children spray foam play in the process of injury, so you should choose after rounded corners of the furniture, or furniture screaming outside the furniture can play a buffer role in the furniture collision angle.

 

4, to avoid children's room with potential electrical hazards

Children's room in the exposed sockets, wires should be good protective measures.

 

Children's curiosity, like to touch unfamiliar things with their hands, will go to touch, pull the exposed sockets and wires and other dangerous items. Therefore, you should choose to use the power socket with safety protection measures (do not buy miscellaneous brands), as well as equipped with a hidden buckle power protection cover. At the same time, the cable connection should not be too long, so as to avoid tripping children or children pulling the cable danger.

 

5, bunk beds for children to avoid placing the window, to prevent children from catching cold and climbing window danger!

Children's room bunk beds as far as possible against the wall layout.

 

Some families will choose the bunk form of children's beds, this bed in the placement if the window near the arrangement, easy to make the child sleep by the cold wind, especially in the north, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is huge, the window cold air is very strong. At the same time, we should pay attention to make the bed and the window to maintain a certain safety distance, so as to avoid the risk of children climbing the window leading to fall.

 

6, above the bed is not easy to place items rack or heavy objects

Many parents in the decoration of children's rooms, often in the bed above the sample rack, large clocks, nautical rudders, convenient temporary placement of books and small items. But the child is often jumping on the bed, hands and feet when it is easy to happen on the bedside shelf things fall, smashed into the child.

 

If you have to place things can be installed on the cabinet above the cabinet door, installation, try to use the installation of brand hanging code, the cabinet door is stronger and more stable, not easy to fall. If only to decorate the wall above the bed, you can change to stickers, hand-painted and other more secure methods of decoration.

 

7, closet organizer, try to use adjustable height design

Children in the process of growth in height is constantly changing, fixed separation of closet is difficult to meet the child's height at all stages of the conditions, so you can choose to be able to flexibly adjust the height of the hanging rod of the closet. And in the lower part of the increase in the drawer area, convenient for children in the parents' assistance in the learning of storage, cultivate self-care ability.

 

8, the window should be equipped with protective measures to ensure the safety of children

Children's room and the child can reach the room should be good window protection measures, children like to climb, try not to have a window can facilitate the child to climb up to the window of the household items, so as to avoid the occurrence of the danger of falling through the window. There are two ways to prevent, one, you can increase the protective fence, two, limit the window opening angle.

 

9, interior door handle form should be suitable for children to use

Whether it is the children's room door or other interior doors, the handle should be easy to operate, safe products, avoid the use of sharp door handles, to prevent children from running and playing in the process of scratching, bruising.

 

Interior door locks should also pay attention to the anti-locking problem, some children naughty like to lock the door, once something happens, outside the adults in a hurry to get in (most of the keys can not be found), the seriousness of the more will break into the house, a waste of money, a waste of time. Therefore, many interior doors are now used to open the door with coins, locks inserted into the coin rotation can open the door, convenient and practical. Interior doors in fact do not have to worry about anti-theft problems, if the robbers into the interior, and then the good interior doors can not be blocked.

 

10, should not be set up in the bed directly above the low chandelier, fan lights, but also pay attention to the light to avoid direct light!

 

Some parents out of the aesthetic point of view will be installed in the children's room modeling very rich chandelier. Children in this stage, very lively and active, often jumping on the bed, if the length of the chandelier is high, the child in the jumping time to grasp the rhythm, it is very easy to bump into the head, scrape the eyes, neck, and even electrocution, very dangerous. And crystal lamps are also easy to produce “crystal clear glare”, so we do not recommend installation! If you like chandeliers very much, they should be staggered with the position of the bed and in a place where they will not be touched during play.

 

Bedside lamps should also try not to use bright colored light as bedside lamps, bright colored light is not conducive to the development of children's eyesight. Secondly, the location of the bedside lamp should not be set in the bed directly above the children's eyes.

 

In the night time can be set in the children's room in the low illumination of the constant light night light and the aisle of the induction night light, easy for children to overcome the fear of darkness, sleep more peace of mind, at the same time, the location of the night light should not be too high, too close to the child, to avoid the light affects the child's sleep.

 

This issue of the children's room comes to an end, I believe we have an understanding of the convenience and safety of the children's room, then the decoration to get up!
