Design features of the children's room 12 sq m

Floorplans for 12 square meters

Here are some common options for arranging furniture. The layout of the room depends on its shape and location of the door, as well as the age and number of residents. The room can be square, elongated, and also of irregular shape - with a balcony or in the attic. A standard children's room includes a sleeping area, a working area, a storage space and a playroom (relaxation area).

In the photo there is a children's "space" room with an area of ​​12 square meters with an attic bed, a study table and sports equipment.

Detailed diagrams with the dimensions given below will help you to navigate during the repair and choose a convenient layout.

In the first picture, the door is in the corner, the bed is set to the left of the window. Between the table, placed along the wall, and the closet there is space for a TV or game area. A sports corner is equipped next to the exit.

The second and third diagrams show the layout of 12 sq. Rooms for two children. One of the options assumes the presence of a bunk bed: with its help, the area for the playing area or the TV or additional storage areas is freed. The third diagram shows an option with 2 beds equipped with drawers for linen. Instead of a recreation area, a rack for toys and books has been put. Hinged shelves are located above the sleeping places.

How to furnish a room?

There are two ways to select children's furniture: order a special design with a built-in wardrobe, bed, workplace and drawers, or make up the interior of the room from separate elements. Prefabricated sets are multifunctional, take up less area, look interesting and are designed in one color scheme. But there are also disadvantages: these designs are more expensive, and are unlikely to be useful when the child grows up.

Separate elements of furniture are more economical, allow you to rearrange the room, as well as replace an item if necessary.

Light colors: white, cream, beige and gray are more suitable for decorating the interior of a 12-room children's room, so that the room seems more spacious. Instead of wallpaper with a small pattern that “breaks” the space, it is preferable to use paint for children's rooms. For wall murals, it is worth leaving only one wall, thereby creating a spectacular accent. Against a light background, the contrasting area painted with slate paint looks great: on it the child can draw with chalk.

In order not to clutter up the already small space of the nursery, it is recommended to choose the most necessary furniture. It should be comfortable and safe. Some products have folding and sliding elements: such designs will appeal to older children.

Design options for a boy

To make a child a happy owner of their cozy corner, where you can relax, study and explore the world, parents must equip a children's room 12 square meters in accordance with the interests of their son. Usually adults know what their child is interested in, and pick up decor on the theme of cars, airplanes, space, travel or comics.

Growing up boys need more space for a comfortable sleep and study, as well as storage of personal belongings. Small furniture is being replaced with a full-size one. To save space, the podium bed and wardrobe will help, especially if two children live in the nursery.

The order in the room largely depends on the chosen design. To make it look neat, storage systems should be closed, use of ornaments should be minimal. But parents should interfere less in the design of a room for a teenage boy, without imposing their tastes and not criticizing the choice of their son.

Examples of designing a room for a girl

Many parents seek to create in the nursery for their daughter a kind of “princess castle” in delicate pink colors: with an abundance of lace and ruffle, ornaments and curtains. But it is worth remembering that a room of 12 square meters is easy to overload with decor. Designers recommend taking one style (Provence, Scandinavian or modern) as the basis and following its features so that the interior looks beautiful and harmonious.

Before creating a design project, parents should ask what colors their daughter likes and build on her preferences. Even if the choice seems strange, you can always come to a compromise: paint the walls in neutral colors and add inexpensive accessories in your favorite shades of the girl. If necessary, they will be easy to replace.

As a bed, a convenient design with an orthopedic mattress and lower drawers is well suited, because in a room of 12 squares, additional storage space will not hurt.

Ideas for rooms for two children

The most important thing in arranging a nursery for two is to provide personal space for everyone. Visually dividing the area will help color zoning, and screens, curtains over beds or a rack will allow fencing off from a brother or sister.

Each child has their own furnishings, but in a children's room 12 square meters will have to combine either beds (a two-tier construction will help out) or a study table. In the closet you can divide the shelves, but the tables with personal items should be purchased in duplicate.

Age features

The newborn’s room is arranged in a way convenient for parents: a bed, a chest of drawers (it can be combined with a changing table), shelves for toys, a chair or a soft sofa for feeding are needed. Blackout curtains should be hung on the windows, and a rug should be laid on the floor.

A grown up baby needs open space, as well as safe furniture made from natural materials and convenient storage systems in order to develop and play.

A room for a schoolchild of 7-17 years old requires the proper organization of a place to study: a desk and a chair should correspond to the growth of the child, and the working surface must be provided with good lighting.

If possible, the teenager needs to allocate a place for his hobbies: a musical instrument or a punching bag, or put a sofa for reading books or receiving guests.
