Children's room areas
When furnishing your child's room, it makes sense to divide the room into different areas. In line with Montessori educational principles, zones for different purposes create structure and organisation in the children's room.
Ideas for the play area
The play area in the nursery invites children to play to their hearts' content. By immersing themselves in fantasy worlds in dollhouse or on the play table , our little ones can try things out, learn and discover their personal interests and abilities. Role-playing games such as the play shop or the play kitchen, in which they can re-enact everyday situations, are particularly popular with children.
- Make sure there is enough space to play. Even in the smallest nursery, there is bound to be a corner that is suitable as a play area.
- Choose the play options according to your child's interests. After all, your little one should enjoy it.
- Don't overload the play area with too many toys. Too much choice can overwhelm our little ones.
- Colours encourage creative play. Make your play area in the nursery colourful, but don't overdo it.
- Sufficient storage space ensures structure and organisation in the play area.
Ideas for the sleeping area
All the impressions of the day are processed during sleep. And for little ones, that's quite a lot! To ensure that your little one feels comfortable in their cot and can relax, you should make this space particularly cosy. The right wall decorations in calm colours will help you achieve this.
- Choose a quiet place in the nursery as the sleeping area.
- A cosy bed is half the battle. Make sure there is a safety rail, especially if your child moves around a lot in their sleep.
- Use calm colours in the sleeping area. Cool colours such as blue are generally considered calming, while warm colours such as red tend to have a stimulating effect.
- A small lamp makes children feel particularly comfortable in their sleeping area. However, the light should not be too bright.
- Let your child choose 1-2 soft toys to take to bed with them. Too many soft toys in bed are often distracting.
Ideas for the dressing area
Of course, our little ones also need enough storage space for clothes in their bedroom. Their favourite outfits can be stored in chest of drawers a or in a wardrobe, which you can decorate with furniture foil.
- The dressing area in the nursery should offer sufficient storage space so that you can keep track of your children's clothes.
- Many children like to help choose their clothes. A children's wardrobe at eye level will help them do just that.
- Clear out the wardrobe in the children's room regularly. Clothes that no longer fit take up unnecessary space in the dressing area.
- With a structured organisation in the dressing area, you will always know where to find which items of clothing and won't have to rummage around for ages.
- Organise the wardrobe sensibly: in summer, for example, thick jackets can be stored at the top, where they are not so easily accessible.
ideas for storage & organisation
With structure and organisation brings harmony to the nursery. In the children's shelf s favourite items can be stowed away quickly and if everything has its place, tidying up after the wildest play is child's play.
- Make sure there is enough space for toys, painting utensils and books in the children's room. A shelving or cupboard system will help you with this.
- Boxes and crates are a good choice for keeping your child's room organisation . After the Lego game, simply put all the figures and bricks back in the box.
- Define an organisational structure in the children's room together with your child. This way, puzzles, cars and crayons always have a fixed place.
- Children's shelves at eye level help your child to keep organisation themselves.
- Sort out toys and books regularly. What is no longer played with or is broken makes room for new things.
Ideas for children's bedroom walls
The wall design in the children's room is what makes it a truly cosy place for little ones. A colourful wall or small details in cheerful colours give the room a feel-good factor.
- When designing your children's room walls, opt for light and calm colours. Wall decorations that are too colourful can quickly make the room feel cramped.
- You can add stylish accents with small details such as a wall sticker.
- Combine wall decoration with storage space. A wall shelf in the children's room provides both storage and decoration.
- Let your child participate in the design of the nursery walls and choose colours or elements that they like.
- Choose the wall decoration according to the purpose of the nursery area.
