When the child is three years old, he can sleep in a stroller. After the age of 3, you can start decorating the children's room at this time. Premature layout is really a waste of resources.
And children are users of the room, or should they be arranged according to their preferences, rather than coming first and then arriving, so that preferences can adapt to the room.
Before talking about children's rooms, I want to talk about kindergartens, which are also related to children's lives.
Our kindergarten is very distinctive-colorful, colorful, childlike, lively, energetic, with simulated small houses and cars ..... because I hope children can grow up healthily in such a colorful world. But too many elements is not a good thing.
And let's take a look at Japanese kindergartens, which are also in line with their style. Very simple, no more than three colors, light tones.
This is a kindergarten that won the "Fast Company" space category award. This is a white castle with unique structure.
This kindergarten is very empty, and there are not many things and colors. Actually, it can stimulate children's imagination and creativity.
Because we know that children's imagination is infinitely rich. If too many elements are added to their activity area, their imagination will gradually decline (the sky is not necessarily blue, and the water is not necessarily blue ...).
△ Space's sense of tolerance for children
What style do children like?
As you can imagine from the comparison of kindergartens, children's rooms in China are generally customized. It looks creative, but it's not creative at all.
If you like the sea, make it a scene restored by the sea; If you like Mickey Mouse, you can live with a room full of Mickey Mouse.
Well ... these are also model rooms for publicity. Customization is probably to highlight personality, but few people should be willing to build such a children's room.
The main reason is that personalization is too complete. What should I do if I don't like it in the future? And children will grow up slowly, and this children's room does not have the function of accompanying children to grow up.
1, interesting space
Why are children interested in amusement parks in shopping malls and reluctant to part with them? It is because some interesting elements make children curious and irresistible. We can design some interesting elements when decorating children's rooms, such as the shape of the house, expanding games, geometric modeling and so on. . . Develop children's imagination. But the style of the whole room is as simple as possible, and the style elements are unified.
△ Housing elements of Japanese kindergartens
Bright and rich colors make the children's room full of active atmosphere. Use the wall space to design the climbing area, so that the home is full of fun.
2. A space for children to create freely.
So, build a children's room, don't pursue creativity. But to know that children are the main body, and the children's room is to help children live a better life.
Children's imagination should be maintained, but don't imagine children's imagination with adults' thinking.
This requires removing redundant elements and giving children a space to show their ideas.
Give the child a picture of Van Gogh, it is better to give him a blackboard wall and chalk.
There can be a blackboard wall on which children like to draw. Sometimes you will wish that there are blackboard walls everywhere in your home, which are sold on Taobao, and you can also buy rolls of paper.
Decorate your child's room with colorful colors. It is best to make the room as few colors as possible and let the child make up for those missing colors.
What the child wants is a blank sheet of paper, but you give him a finished product, so that the child can exert his imagination, but there is no room for expansion ~
In short, the children's room without style is the best!
What should I pay attention to when building a children's room?
Children's rooms don't need to be creative. It takes courage to put ideas into practice.
First of all, the functions should be complete, sleeping, playing games, storage, and children's hobbies gathering place.
Arrange reasonably in a limited space, and don't buy too big toys or complicated beds for small units, because children will grow up and need to be replaced frequently.
Secondly, for the sake of safety, the furniture used by children must be strong (suddenly thinking of the IKEA incident) and environmentally friendly.
Finally, consider the interesting and creative points of children's rooms. (Don't push too hard)
1, children's furniture must be environmentally friendly, environmentally friendly, environmentally friendly!
It is worth mentioning here that solid wood is not necessarily environmentally friendly, and plates may be environmentally friendly! If solid wood is spliced, there will be serious glue pollution, and solid wood furniture without water-based paint is not environmentally friendly. Of course, we should choose panel furniture, and we should also choose German imported Iger board which is close to the natural wood production technology. In short, we must look for the furniture of European E0 standard before we can safely give it to our children.
2. The whole house needs fillet design.
Be round and avoid bumping. Or you can buy that bag and throw it on the furniture.
No matter how strong the furniture is, it should be fixed on the wall.
Children's injuries in IKEA cabinets are still fresh in my memory, but you should know that it is not only the lack of safety in IKEA cabinets, but also all man-made board cabinets may have similar safety hazards. If the height of the cabinet at home exceeds 1 m, or if the cabinet has drawers, children like to pull the drawers often and even want to sit in the drawers to hide cats and cats, which will attract the attention of parents. Whether it is solid wood or panel furniture, you need to find a professional installer to firmly fix it on the wall to avoid potential safety hazards.
What kind of room does the child need?
1. Children need a sense of security and a feeling of being wrapped.
Children like to set up tents, probably seeking security in their mothers' stomachs. Families with children usually have a small tent. There are many on the internet, all of which are very beautiful. You can buy it and set up a tent with the children.
Small tents are very popular, not only in children's rooms, but also in the living room and balcony. They don't occupy much land and are full of childlike interest.
2. The bed and table should be low.
You can choose a floor bed, or you can directly put a cushion on the ground. Because the furniture we use is too big for them, by the way, prepare a carpet or that kind of cotton pad, which is usually prepared by the family. Children like to play on the ground, which is spacious and convenient.
3. Space where you can crawl and play freely
Xiaozhouzhou children's room adopts floor mats, small mattresses and unprotected fences (suitable for younger babies), which can cultivate children's independence; Moreover, children can climb out of bed and into bed by themselves, which is still very safe.
4. Dream lighting
Children's eyes are very fragile, so you can choose children's lamps. There is a rabbit ear lamp with soft light and lovely appearance, which feels very suitable for children. At the same time, the light should be sufficient, that is, the lighting should be good, and the light can promote the absorption of calcium by children, so it is necessary to bask in the sun more ~
5. Readable reading area at your fingertips
Children need a small space where they can read and doodle, because there is a child's knowledge of the world hidden here. The bookcase should be high enough for children to reach, and it must be firm; It is best to have a small open space where you can sit, read and doodle on your stomach.
Children's rooms need storage space more than adults.
There are many small toys, one big toy is enough ... for example, I bought a big toy that simulates kitchen cooking, the first piano of the future pianist ... which requires a separate space to store them. If the children's room has a large space, please reserve such space in advance to enlarge the toy, otherwise don't buy it.
Buy small toy storage box, storage box ... Children's room must have a place to store toys, it is best for children to simply store them themselves.
Organizing toys and books really needs a lot of storage boxes. You can buy a uniform style and then label it to distinguish it, which will be more beautiful.
The little boy's car toys are a headache for mothers, and such a toy storage rack seems to be necessary. ▼
If possible, it is suggested to customize the top cabinet in the children's room, which can achieve immediate storage effect and rational use of space. In the long run, a multifunctional cupboard can meet the living needs for many years to come!
Speaking of toys, we have to say that the materials of toys must also be environmentally friendly and harmless. Recommend several good stores: Livheart, fabelab, fermliving, finelittleday, camcam, luckyboysunday, OYOY ... Some of these Tmall have flagship stores and some need to buy.
I bought a Livheart bear myself, which is really comfortable, and the cotton in it will not agglomerate (it can be seen that it is genuine cotton), so adults and children can hold it and play with it.
Children's room is a big project, and it is also a project that is gradually improved and changed. Children have been growing up, and a good children's room should be able to grow up with children. It can't be done overnight, and the changing appearance is the most interesting place in the children's room.
