Bedroom Zoning Ideas
Before combining the bedroom with the nursery, starting the rearrangement of furniture and starting decorating, it is necessary to draw up a schematic plan of the room on which the existing doorways, windows or balcony will be indicated.
Alternatively, zoning can be repaired. If you plan to install a capital partition in the room, which involves a load on the supporting structures, you need to obtain special permission, coordination and approval of the project.
It is not necessary to allocate zones and delimit a joint bedroom if a small child will live in the parents' room only for some time. Otherwise, the interior with installed partitions and a special design of the walls will have to be changed.
Visual zoning of the combined bedroom
For visual separation of the combined adult and children's room, various finishes are suitable. For example, the walls in the bedroom can be glued with wallpaper that differ in hue, texture or pattern. It is best to choose canvases in a calmer and pastel colors. In addition to wall cladding, floor materials in the form of parquet or laminate, which is eco-friendly and easy to clean, will help to differentiate the space. A children's corner will also be appropriate to highlight with a soft carpet.
When zoning with color, two opposite sides are painted in a contrasting color or several shades of the same color are used.
The two-level ceiling system also provides an excellent opportunity to share a room. False or suspended ceilings in the children's area are equipped with LED lights, and the parent sleeping segment with spotlights. Thus, it is possible to visually divide the room using lighting.
The easiest way is to allocate a baby's berth due to a variety of decorations. The walls near the crib can be decorated with photographs, stickers, drawings, toys, garlands and other accessories.
Functional separation of the nursery and the bedroom
Since, in some apartments, it is not always possible to arrange a separate room for a child, in the combined room they use functional zoning, which allows you to organize a personal corner for everyone.
The main methods are the delimitation of space by decorative structures, sliding doors, shelves and arches. Plastic, wooden or plasterboard partitions perfectly isolate the children's bedroom from the adult, but at the same time hide the usable area in the room.
An excellent dividing element is the rack. Such a piece of furniture will not impede the penetration of natural light into every corner of the room.In addition, the open shelves perfectly fit the home library, toys, textbooks and decor, which will complement the surrounding bedroom interior.
Thanks to zoning with a high wardrobe, it turns out to create a functional storage system and save square meters in the room. With a sufficient amount of space, the structure on both sides is equipped with shelves. A folding bed or an entire furniture complex can be built into the closet.
After zoning the room, the window opening will be located in only one segment, therefore, for good penetration of natural light, the partition is replaced with translucent curtains. In addition to fabric curtains, it is appropriate to use bamboo, plastic blinds or a light mobile screen.
Another unusual decision to share a bedroom is to construct a small podium for the parent area. Elevation on the floor, equipped with drawers or niches in which to store overall things, children's toys or bedding.
Features of the arrangement of furniture
An adult bed is the most dimensional design in the bedroom, so they allocate a place for it in the first place. In a narrow and elongated room of a rectangular shape, the parental berth can be placed across near one of the long walls. If the room is large enough, the bed is set diagonally, with the headboard in the corner.
It is better to place the crib where the newborn baby will sleep near the parent's bed, closer to the mother’s bedroom. If the room has a square shape, the cradle can be placed opposite the parents' bed. It is not recommended to place a crib near heating appliances, noisy household appliances and outlets.
A bed for an older child is appropriate to enter in the free corner opposite to the parent's bed. It is not advisable to place a children's sleeping bed opposite the door. It is appropriate to equip the place near the window with a desktop and storage systems in the form of book shelves or a narrow rack for toys, which can also solve the problem of zoning in the room.
Tips for small bedrooms
The design of a small bedroom is developed as carefully as possible taking into account each square meter in the room. There are several rules that allow you to equip a small room and turn it into a cozy place for parents and a child.
First of all, massive and heavy furniture should be replaced with mobile transforming structures, and put the child’s crib near an adult berth, without using partitions.
For ceiling and wall decoration, it is advisable to choose materials in bright colors, instead of thick curtains, hang transparent curtains or blinds on the windows.
In the interior of a small bedroom adjacent to the children's area, it is not recommended to use three-dimensional relief compositions with a 3D effect and the use of a large number of bright details and patterns that visually overload the space.
Organization of a children's zone
The choice of furniture and its placement depends entirely on the size of the bedroom and how old the child is. The children's area for a newborn baby is equipped with a cradle, chest of drawers and a changing table, which, with a limited area, can be combined into one item.
When equipping a place of rest for an older child, the bed is replaced with a small folding sofa or armchair-bed. For the student in the room, you can install an attic bed with an upper tier, representing a sleeping bed and a lower floor, acting as a desktop.
For a young family with two children, a bed with an extra pull-out seat or a two-story model that makes the most efficient use of the free space is suitable.
Parent Zone Design
The recreation area must be equipped with a sleeping bed, bedside tables and storage systems for things. A spacious room can be supplemented with a table, wall or TV stand.
The adult half of the room is decorated with paintings, murals and other decor, designed in a calm range. To the will of the parent sleeping bed have wall sconces or floor lamps. On bedside tables or a chest of drawers lamps will look good, in style combining with the surrounding interior.
To save space in the bedroom, combined with the nursery, it is appropriate to replace the bulky bed with a comfortable folding sofa, and instead of the overall cabinet furniture, choose modular designs with the necessary elements.
