The specificity of children's room cabinets is that they are designed for different things and can also have shelves for storing clothes, toys, drawers, a clothesline with a hanging bar, and open sections for books.

In fact, such models are universal, often it is also modular furniture, consisting of separate small wall cabinets and cabinets, which can be installed in various ways,choosing the optimal position. With the help of such a modern set in one part of the nursery you can equip a dressing room, and in the other - a place for games and activities.

Classic is considered to be cabinet furniture. In this case, it can be understood as a wardrobe, a dresser, a wardrobe or an ordinary dress - there are enough options, so you can always choose the right furniture for the room.

• Corner Cabinets - a kind of cabinet furniture, but their peculiarity is that they are installed only in the corner of the room. Such models help to save space, but in terms of interior equipment, they differ little from ordinary cabinets, there can be departments for clothes, toys and other things in the same way.

• Wardrobes can be box or embedded.In the latter case, the furniture is installed in a niche and does not occupy free space. Such cabinets can be with drawers, shelves and departments to fit inside everything you need for a child. Sliding doors are easy to use and do not take up much space, so a closet of this type is suitable for a small room, it can also be placed next to the bed.

• Cabinet partition used to divide the nursery into functional areas. With the help of furniture you can distinguish between a sleeping place and a corner for games or activities. Also, a similar technique is used if there are two children in the room, each of whom needs their own space.

• An interesting option might be transformer cabinetwhich not only has departments for storage of things, but also turns into a working or a berth. Typically, such models are used in small spaces to save space. And children will appreciate the unusual type of furniture.

• wardrobe with a bar on which you can place clothes on hangers;
• drawers for small things - socks, tights, underwear;
• shelves with shelves that are used to store clothes in folded form;
• individual compartments where you can put toys;
• open shelves for books, a bookcase for textbooks - if the child has already gone to school.

In the form and shape of children's cabinets may be different.

For small children, furniture is produced in the form of a house or castle with narrow turrets. This design looks nice, but only fits a certain age, so if you don't want to change the situation in the nursery often, then it is better to choose neutral models that will look appropriate in an older child’s room.

Modern manufacturers produce a large number of ready-made kits for the nursery, so you can choose a wall, modular furniture or a separate cabinet of any size. High and low models are presented in stores, you can also find cabinets with a large and shallow depth.

Since many apartments do not differ in significant dimensions, a lot of small and low cabinets are produced, which will fit even in a small nursery. If there is a bit of free space, but the ceilings are high, then you can pick up an appropriate cabinet in height.Of course, it will not be very convenient to use it, but it will allow you to find another place to store things, and you can remove what is not needed very often to the highest shelves.

Children's cases can be different color. Do not limit yourself to the traditional idea that boys are supposed to be blue or blue, and girls are supposed to be pink or cherry. It is better to give the child to choose their favorite color. Light colors are more preferable, although if the whole room is framed in such shades, the furniture may be dark as an accent.

A lot of red or orange excite the psyche, but shades of green or blue, on the contrary, soothe. White is also associated with tranquility, but it is better to combine it with other colors so that the furniture does not look too boring.
