Children's wardrobe

Children's room is an amazing area, because it combines recreation, work, play and storage of all necessary things. In addition, the area of ​​such a room is usually small, and therefore a spacious and functional children's wardrobe is important for every home where the child lives.

Children's wardrobe is not much different from an adult. Its capacity should be equated with the capacity of a standard wardrobe and even more, because it is planned that the child will keep in it a lot of things, sometimes not related to clothes. So, the parents of the baby will keep diapers and diapers on numerous shelves, the preschooler will store toys, the schoolboy the backpack, and the teenager the things, jewelry and hats.

The transformation factor is important here.because the furniture in the room in which the shelves can be in different positions and meet the needs of different ages, will last much longer. Especially this option is useful for parents who make repairs for more than one year.

Another feature of the closet in the nursery is its naturalness and environmental friendliness. Wood with the absence of toxins and natural aroma, according to experts, is the best option for the nursery. However, parents often choose models solely for aesthetic reasons, which in most cases are far from natural.

Another important criterion is smoothness of the corners of the furniture. A preschooler or a schoolboy with a small space can easily hit the corner of the cabinet. Rounded shapes will minimize such risks, ensuring the safety of the child’s own space. Continuing the topic of security, it should be noted and the stability of the children's wardrobe.

Children's cabinets are divided into types of drawers and shelves, the number of doors and the opening mechanism. However, the largest division occurs according to the type of cabinet design:

• built-in;
• standing separately;

• angular;
• wardrobe, as part of a children's headset.

Built-in children's models involve the manufacture of a cabinet for mounting it in a wall niche. This becomes possible when the unused area of ​​the dressing room and areas with complex geometry. In addition, in a spacious room, a niche is often created artificially, making a plasterboard construction. Built-in models save space and allow you to equip the internal area at will, for example, using space as a wardrobe or have a shelving there.

In those rooms where the area is small and resembles a square or rectangle, detached children's wardrobes become a frequent solution. Of course, they occupy a significant place in the room, however, it is sometimes impossible to get away from them. Such cabinets often have a wardrobe area, as well as a lower tier with drawers, corner shelves can be located inside the main zone.

At the same time, the interior of the cabinet looks somewhat chaotic, and therefore it is rather difficult for the child to keep order in it.The sectional cabinet consisting of two or more partitions solves similar problems.

2 or 3-sectional cabinet means the presence of several zones in a stand-alone cabinet, for example, for outerwear on hangers, linen, located on the shelves, as well as a chest of drawers with drawers for small items. All this can be located behind the doors or be partially covered. So, most often the side areas of the cabinet are closed with sashes, and the middle one with draw-out drawers and a mirror remains open. A three-folding wardrobe is also found here, which is well suited for a nursery used by several children.

In the apartments of old buildings it happens that such a place for a high-grade wardrobe in the nursery simply does not exist. In this case, having found a free corner in the room, it is equipped with an angular spacious wardrobe. Its feature is good roominess, which is important for children. The corner cabinet, if desired, can be equipped with a high pencil case with shelves for laundry or an open corner shelf for the location of the first drawings of the baby.

It is worth saying that the built-in and stand-alone models, if desired, can become part of the children's headset.So, the cabinet can smoothly pass into the wall on which the TV or computer desk is located.

Having gone in search of a children's wardrobe, parents are amenable to influence models in bright colors, dazzling with their multicolor. Unfortunately, the child’s opinion on such a palette is forgotten to be forgotten, which, as psychologists have proved, is fundamentally wrong. The fact is that the child is more susceptible to color effects, and therefore the color of the furniture can become a real healer of the baby’s soul.

So, in the room of a newborn baby perfectly fit a roomy white cabinet with functional draw-out boxes. Pure, light color, attracting with its spirituality, perfectly complements the interior in pastel colors, recommended for kids. Also a good option would be natural wood tone.

In the course of growing up the child You can give the furniture more vivid colors. The warm tone of green, yellow and pink will decorate any closet, imperceptibly orienting the baby to peace, development and kindness.Red and orange tones can also become good helpers for filling with rich colors in a children's room. It is worth remembering that such active colors can excite too active crumbs.

The nature and activity of the baby should be a key factor in choosing the color of the cabinet. Psychologists believe that already from infancy the baby can choose the tone he likes, which will calm him down later.

Experts in the field of interior design advise to purchase for children a complete wardrobe with adult parameters. Thus, a popular cabinet height is a value equal to two meters. Of course, it is high for the child, however, you can always lower the shelves for the necessary daily things of the baby, lifting up seasonal clothes. Such a solution will allow to use the model as long as possible and, if desired, in the future, transfer it to another room. The minimum depth is 44 cm, the maximum - 60 cm.

Another popular size of a children's wardrobe is the model with a height of 170 cm. A low wardrobe can be added with entresols, which will significantly increase the useful space of the room. Increasing the used area will also help the depth, however, it is worth remembering that a shallow closet is much more convenient for a child.

If repair is planned often, then a low cabinet with a height of 130 cm and a depth of 32 cm will become a comfortable option for the baby.

Choosing a closet for the nursery - the event is very responsible, because the order in the house will directly depend on it:

• Start with a sober estimating room size and the future of the cabinet. Small areas require small cabinets, the dimensions of which are not very easy to find, and therefore the best solution would be to order a model according to individual sketches.
• The finished cabinet or its sketch should be carefully analyzed. for convenience and safety. So, the important point is the choice of doors. They can be closed on the wardrobe principle, or they can have the appearance of traditional sashes.The latter, it should be said, are more suitable for young children. Designers, on the other hand, do not rush to close the doors of the crumbs, releasing models with fashionable curtains.

• As stated earlier The best material is solid wood. Oak, ash or beech are excellent in operation, however, they repel many at their high cost, and therefore products made of pine or birch can be a good option. If the budget is even more compressed, then products from MDF also have a place to be. The durability of both materials is proved by time and numerous reviews of the owners.

• When issues with safety and size are resolved, it's time pay attention to the design. It is good if the doors are equipped with at least one mirror, and the draw-out boxes have special slots for children's fingers, which prevent them from being pinched.

• Color selection remains the prerogative of the child. As experience shows, monochromatic bright models delight the baby longer than cabinets featuring characters from their favorite cartoons.

Filling the closet and storing things in it directly affects the order in the closet, because it is unlikely that anyone would want to, opening the closet, find themselves overwhelmed with a pile of things:

• Start here with wardrobe zone. Weights for hangers are best placed as low as possible, allowing the child to feel like an adult and hanging things himself, it is important to reach the bar. On the hangers it is worthwhile to hang only the clothes on the exit of the desired size, hiding on the far shelves small things or things purchased for growth. For everyday household things it is good to use hooks, which will allow you to “not restore order” while looking for a home blouse or pants.

• After the wardrobe zone comes the turn roll-out boxes. Their use is especially convenient for two children, where each child has his own zone. If the box has good capacity, you can divide it into several zones with the help of plastic dividers. Panties and T-shirts in this case will lie peacefully in their places.

• Turning to the shelves, do not forget to sign them using self-adhesive sheets or images of things. Shelves for socks, underwear, blouses and pants will be easy to remember for both the baby and the older child.
