The children's room in the house is one of those places that are decorated with great love, special attention and care. Each detail is carefully considered.

Moms and dads try to provide their long-awaited child with all the best, beautiful, fashionable and modern. As a result of such diligence, a child's newborn can become "stuffed" things, without which the baby could well manage. The same can be said about the design of many rooms for babies. In this article, we will consider the key points on which to focus, creating interiors of children's rooms for newborns.

What should be the baby for babies?

1. Safe.
2. Functional and comfortable.
3. Beautiful.

Safety

1. Choosing children's furniture, bed linen, materials for interior decoration, give preference to environmentally friendly samples.
2. Sex should not be slippery. Do not recommend for children to apply linoleum. Excellent cork, but this option is not cheap.
3. Socket outlets at an altitude accessible to an adult, but not for a baby. Equip them with special protective caps. After all, the child will very soon become mobile and inquisitive.
4. Sharp corners of tables and other furniture make safe, using silicone nozzles.
5. When decorating a child, avoid the use of fleecy carpets, massive curtains, ruches and lambrequins. Do not abuse soft toys. All these things very quickly accumulate dust of different origin, and it is not so easy to treat them for disinfection purposes.
6. Think carefully about the location of the baby cot. It should not be placed near external walls, windows and doorways. Sometimes, the only correct solution is to put the crib in the center of the room. But it should not interfere with the movement of household members in the room.

Functionality and comfort

1. Observe the principle of zoning rooms. There should be: a zone of sleep and rest, a zone of food intake, a game zone. Moreover, do not forget about the almost constant presence of the mother in all these zones at the first stage of life of a new member of the family. The design of a children's room for a newborn should also take into account the comfortable stay in the room of the most important and necessary assistant. Under the zone of sleep and rest is meant a cot for the newborn and a couch or a sofa bed for the mother. The zone of food intake is a chair or chair for the mother and a chair for feeding the baby. It will be better if it is a chair-transformer with height adjusters. In the playing area is required a carpet, an arena and a developing mat, storage tanks for toys.
2. Children's furniture for a newborn, if there is such an opportunity, is selected "for growth".The cot should not be too small, chairs and tables should be equipped with height adjusters. Great, if the chair for feeding in the future can be transformed into a chair and a table for drawing. Do not forget also about the quality of children's furniture. While shopping for it, pay attention to the environmental friendliness of the material( the best option, of course, is the wood), the quality of the processing( the presence of coarse seams, unshielded surfaces, blown paint) and the strength of existing fixtures. The latter, ideally, should be made of metal.
3. Buy practical dressers and lockers with a built-in swaddling table and a variety of drawers and storage compartments for baby diapers and clothes.
4. You will also need shelves or shelves for placing cosmetics, first children's books and toys-rattles.
5. Lighting. Ideal is a horizontal lamp with a matt bubble and with the light of warm tones. It is also possible to use spotlights located along the perimeter of the room on the walls, with the possibility of their separate inclusion. A mandatory attribute in the nursery is a low-power night light that will save the child from unnecessary stress during night awakenings, and help mom to navigate quickly in emergency situations.
6. Wall decoration. Practically, for children use painting or papering. Moreover, the resulting surface should be washable, that is, take a waterproof paint, and wallpaper with non-woven coating.
7. Microclimate. Eliminate the presence of drafts in the children's room. This room should be warm( 20-22⁰C) and easily ventilated. In addition, monitor the humidity( 50-70%).If radiators overheat it, then use special moisturizers.

Beauty

1. Color solution. Children for a newborn girl, as a rule, aged in pink colors, for a boy - in blue. Although, this is not a prerequisite. Excellent in children look and yellow, and beige, and chocolate, and green, and many other colors. The main thing is to select pastel shades and avoid the abundance of black, gray and white. It is better to give preference to warm soft colors.
2. Do not hang in heavy heavy curtains. Limit the translucent curtains to the children's print. By the way, baldachins and "protection" on the crib are more a tribute to fashion than necessity. The fabric of the canopy often hinders the access of fresh air to the crib. A soft edge is suitable only those that do not limit the field of view of the baby.
3. Do not overdo with decorative items and toys. After all, at first your baby can focus only on one subject. As he grows, it's better to add bright details, spurring his interest in new subjects.

And a few more tips. ..

• The ceiling can become a place for developing jewelry, pendants and origami. After all, lying in a crib, the crumb will consider all this beauty. An excellent solution can be silicone stickers in the form of a starry sky, glowing in the dark. Such a detail can easily be replaced by a nightlight.
• The most suitable materials for children: natural wood, chipboard and plastic of high quality, paper wallpaper, textiles from natural raw materials.
• Fresh flowers can be very appropriate in the children's room. They absorb harmful carbon dioxide and produce useful oxygen. Just do not choose blooming species that can cause allergies. Give preference to large outdoor plants with a massive leafy rosette.
