Choosing a wardrobe in the nursery for the boy
From a very young age, the child reacts sensitively to his surroundings. The colors, the sounds, the emotional atmosphere around him do not go unnoticed by him. And when the baby gets up on its feet and begins to explore the world on its own, the parents have a difficult and serious task to help him in this.
The space of the nursery is a small world for a child. In his room, he takes the first steps, studies the objects and things around him, learns new skills. In this article we will tell you how to better, more conveniently and efficiently organize the space in the boy’s children's room. Particularly detailed focus on the choice of wardrobe for the nursery.
Special features
A wardrobe or at least a dresser, without a doubt, is very necessary and practical things in any apartment. It is difficult to imagine the living space of a modern home without this piece of furniture. Of course, a closet is also necessary in the nursery:
- The baby has its own things and clothes and with age they will become more and more. In this case, the nightstand, chest of drawers, wall shelf and cabinet play a purely practical role, serving as a place for the placement of objects and things.
- Psychologists recommend that from early childhood to teach the child to personal space and the skills to dispose of this space, keep it in order and accuracy. Here, personal furniture in the child’s room will also perform a teaching, educational function. Laying out things, toys, clothes or books on shelves, boxes, the child will learn accuracy, independence, responsibility. First, of course, with your help.
The nuances of choice
So, we proceed to the selection of the cabinet in the nursery for the boy:
- The first selection criterion we will encounter will be free size of space. In other words, the total area of your child’s room. Obviously, having a spacious room, parents are not so constrained to choose. If the space of the nursery allows, then you can stay on the classic cabinets with hinged doors.
- Appearance and design classic cabinets are very, very diverse, your imagination will be virtually nothing will be limited. You can arrange a wardrobe in the form of an intricate lock or order an unusual and interesting design for a child.
- Widely represented and price range models of this type. Such a cabinet can be placed at any free wall. Large space and a lot of shelves inside will allow you not to worry about the baby "grow" out of the closet and the space in the closet will be insufficient for the baby's things. Even if the crumbs most of the shelves and boxes will be empty, quickly growing up and expanding their interests, the child will gradually fill the free space with toys and things.
- Do not buy too high closet for the baby, it is better to choose a wider model. In this case, the child will have free access to all the shelves in his closet. This is more secure, because there will be no need to use a stool or chair to reach the upper shelves. However, adequate height selection relevant for other models of children's cabinets.
- If the children's room is not too spacious and there is a need to save space, you can consider corner cabinet model. The space of the corners in the room is usually not very practical and is often completely unoccupied. Corner wardrobe organically and neatly fits into the decor of the room, saves space.
- Practical and compact wardrobe. Its difference is that the doors do not swing open to the outside (which can be inconvenient if there is a bed or a table nearby), but slide to the side along the built-in guides. Such a wardrobe will allow you to arrange the furniture in the nursery more compactly, if there is a need.
Do not choose a wardrobe with mirrored doors or with doors made of glass. It is extremely impractical and even dangerous for a child's room, because children are very mobile, and during games they can inadvertently break the fragile door material.
Use in the interior
Children's furniture sets fit well into the interior. Such sets combine several pieces of furniture. Usually they include a desk, bed, wardrobe or nightstand. Furniture sets are made in the same style and colors, you can choose the design that fits better into the design of the nursery.
That is important, in such sets two beds are often established.The beds are arranged in two tiers: one above the other. This is the perfect option for two children. Thus, you can save space in the nursery, without installing a second bed.
And for two boys, it will be interesting and fun to frolic and play pirates, climbing the second tier by a comfortable ladder.
Children with great interest perceive such an unusual arrangement of furniture, use it in their games.
And another option that combines convenience and compactness: closet on the podium. Such an unusual and interesting model of furniture appeared relatively recently. The cupboard itself, and sometimes the cupboard and desk, depending on the equipment, is located on a dais, which is like a podium. And from the podium space under the wardrobe a bed is pushed out, which after sleep, it is convenient and easy for the child to push back, making room for games.
If necessary, two beds can be put out from under the podium, which will be convenient for two children. The cabinet itself in this set can be, as with classic hinged doors, and with compartment doors.
If the apartment or house has thick walls, you can make a closet built into the niche.True, this option will require some effort. To do this, you need to continue in the wall either a through hole or a niche, depending on the wall thickness. The internal surfaces of the niche are plastered, painted, shelves or rods for clothes and clothes are inserted inside. From the outside, such a cabinet can be closed with decorative curtains, a screen, or mounted into the door wall opening.
It is worth remembering about the color and interesting filling for the child in the nursery. Younger children are very passionate about fairy tales and cartoons. It will be appropriate to try to decorate the baby’s room in the style of his favorite fairy tale; you can place his favorite characters on the walls and furniture. Cabinets can be made in the form of fancy houses for gnomes or fairy-tale huts.
Younger pre-school boys also like castles or pirate ships. Children of primary school age usually have more specific inclinations. Boys 7-12 years old are interested in cars, airplanes, are interested in navigation, various sports.
Having observed your child and recognizing his inclinations and interests, it will be easier for you to bring him joy and decorate the room in his taste.
