A child's room is a child's sanctuary. Children need to feel comfortable in their own rooms.

 

Each child should have their own zone. If two children share a room, each child should be allocated an individual corner. The room can be visually divided by room dividers or shelves.

A large part of the room walls should remain free for the children's own artwork. To present them better and make it easier to hang them up and take them down, you can put up large pinboards. The children should be allowed to pin up whatever they like.

Children like to draw and write on a blackboard with chalk, especially because you can wipe everything away afterwards and start again. The back of the bedroom door, for example, can be used as a blackboard by sticking special blackboard film on it.

For children's furniture, it is best to buy natural wooden furniture that you can paint in colour together with the children. Children like to be involved in the decoration of their own room. As they grow up, children can repaint their furniture if their tastes change.

It has been scientifically proven that the colour yellow is not advisable for children's rooms. Toddlers cry more often and older children become moody and aggressive if their room has a lot of yellow colour.

The floor should be covered with soft and colourful rugs. This keeps feet nice and warm when the children are playing on the floor. The only important thing is that the rugs are non-slip.

Ordinary and plain furniture can be made playful and child-friendly in the children's room, for example by replacing drawer handles with cut-up tennis balls, figures, wooden letters or small dolls.

To give the children's room a special touch, you can have a wall completely painted with a scene. Art students often offer their services as artists and paint landscape or fairytale scenes on the wall professionally and inexpensively.
