Should you buy a headset for a nursery?

Consider the area of ​​the room and the age of the child. If the nursery is a very small room, then when you buy a complete headset, you run the risk of cluttering the room and depriving the child of the most important thing - space for games or other activities. In addition, remember that as your child grows up, you will definitely have to replace some pieces of furniture: for example, open shelves with closed cabinets, and a desk with a computer. And the schoolchild is unlikely to want to see butterflies and cartoon characters in his room, which he liked so much when he was little.

A teenage headset is good because the manufacturer has come up with a rational arrangement of objects in the room for you. Look at the pictures, choose a solution for the layout of the existing room.

So it is better to buy a whole set for a high school student or a student who is already a mature enough person who will not require a change of scenery as he grows up.

Expensive or cheap children's furniture?

Yes - quality, no - toxins! Let's note right away: cheap furniture better not to buy. Most likely, it is not made of the most "healthy" materials (first of all, bad chipboard) - it is not known how it will behave during intensive use by a child. If funds allow, it is better to buy an expensive one - from natural wood, plywood, MDF. It will be easy to give or sell to someone at a lower price when the child grows up.

What do you think of transformable furniture? All that has been said about such furniture is, of course, true. It is reliable and will last a long time. But I would not consider such an acquisition either as a professional or as a mother. The same work area for ten or more years is boring for both the child and the parents. In addition, imagine what it will turn into after three years, because children are actively using markers and paints, and is it worth limiting their imagination, forcing them to be careful with respect to an expensive work surface?

For those who want to save money, we recommend staying at the "golden mean". Mid-price furniture is made of high quality, but cheaper materials. According to GOSTs, for the manufacture of children's furniture it is allowed to use only Particleboard class E1 (with minimal formaldehyde emission). Such material does not emit toxic substances, if all ends and edges are well sealed - check the quality before buying.

Is growing furniture needed?

Convenient but expensive. Some manufacturers (primarily European) produce furniture that “grows” with the child. You can choose a table with an adjustable table top and a variable tilt angle, a chair with a movable seat and back, or a transformer cot.

"Growing" furniture is very functional, reliable and will serve a child for more than one year. The purchase will be profitable if it allows you to refuse to purchase two or three sets of furniture during the child's growing up. But in any case, you will have to pay a serious sum for the possibility of transformation.

Children's furniture color: the brighter the better?

Use furniture accents When decorating a children's room, you do not need to be guided only by considerations of functionality, cleanliness of style, environmental friendliness of things. Childhood is a time of games, recklessness. Have fun things in your child's room. Which are not used too often, but give a good mood.

Know when to stop! The nursery should be different from all other rooms of the house - it should be colorful, fantasy, playful, but by no means boring. However, choosing color range, do not overdo it: excessive laxity or fascination with aggressive colors, firstly, is tiring, and secondly, it can harm the psyche of your child and negatively affect his vision. If you can quickly get rid of bright wallpaper, then throwing away a yellow sofa or red rack is expensive and a pity.

Looking for a compromise. For the child to feel comfortable in the nursery, the room must meet his expectations. Therefore, before proceeding closely to furnishings, talk to your child, ask what he would like to see here. He will not put everything on the shelves for you, but general idea You'll get. Supplement his commentary with your childhood memories, and you will surely make the right choice.

It is better to choose furnishings for a children's room with a clear budget. Even the modular series, where the designers have thought of everything for us, differ significantly from each other depending on the price.

Buying children's furniture is an exciting but responsible occupation. You choose the whole world, in which the child will spend the years of growing up. How not to get lost in the abundance of proposals?

We decided to acquire new furniture for a vacation outside the city, but the funds are not enough, and there is nowhere to store? Take advantage of the inflatable: it is compact in storage and inexpensive, the assortment - for any scenario!

The need to buy children's furniture is not obvious to everyone. However, the child is growing up, and he needs furniture that matches his physical development. It is optimal if it fits perfectly into the interior and dimensions of the apartment, and the child likes it, but this is not all that needs to be considered when choosing children's furniture.

Why do you need special furniture for a child

Too large furniture, unsuitable for height and age, forces the child to strain the muscles of the back, neck, legs. If he constantly sits in an uncomfortable position, then this leads in the future to problems with the spine, joints, ligaments.

A table top raised too high means that the child's eyes will be too close to the table surface, which means that conditions will be created for the development of vision pathologies.

In addition, the child needs his own corner, in which he will independently maintain order, where he can play as much as he wants, draw, sculpt.

Age is the main criterion

Furniture for a child should be purchased by age. If the child is very small, then the main furniture for him is a cot, a chest of drawers, a changing table, possibly a separate wardrobe for linen. When the child grows up (at about 3 years old), he will already need a bed with a more spacious sleeping place, a children's table and chair that is suitable in size for classes, boxes, baskets for storing toys. The student needs a computer or writing desk, a separate wardrobe for clothes and books. A wide range of children's furniture for all ages is presented in yourroom store.

In order not to have to update the furniture too often, it is best to choose a chair with height adjustment (legs should rest on the floor, being at a right angle), sometimes the table also has the ability to adjust. Moreover, the desk should be square or rectangular so that the elbows are not suspended while writing. In addition, the child must reach all the shelves where the things that he uses on a daily basis are located.

Convertible furniture for small rooms

Furniture must be selected taking into account the dimensions of the room, if the room is small, then it is best to choose a transforming one - it significantly saves space. There are many similar options: these are comfortable children's corners for two or three children with bunk or three-tiered beds, both stationary, located one above the other, and sliding under each other. Recently, loft beds have gained popularity: upstairs is sleeping place, and below the work or play area. The bed can be easily transformed into a desk in the daytime, or from a full-fledged bed into a small sofa. It is important to consider storage space, for example convenient drawers for linen can be located under the bed or in the steps of the stairs leading to the second floor of the children's complex.

If furniture is purchased for several children, then it is important to individualize it for everyone, even if a standard one is purchased. children's Corner... For example, if a compromise was found in the choice of the complex, have the children choose the chairs they like.

Safety and environmental friendliness

It is important to pay attention to the safety and environmental friendliness of children's furniture.

1. It is best to give preference to the furniture for which there are appropriate certificates.
2. For safety reasons, it is recommended to purchase furniture with rounded corners without glass and mirror inserts.
3. When choosing upholstery, preference should be given to materials on which dust accumulates least of all, it should be well cleaned, but at the same time, it should be breathable.
4. The best option for a nursery is wood furniture covered with non-toxic compounds. The fittings must not loosen.
5. Coloring furniture should not cut the eyes. Despite the fact that furniture for children can be colorful. The colors should be as neutral as possible so that they do not irritate the eyes. Bright colors can only be used as accents.

When choosing furniture for a child, it is necessary to take into account not only your interests. You can pick up furniture with your children. Let them appreciate its design, think about where things will be stored. It is important that the furniture is liked by the person for whom it is purchased.

Children's room is one of the most important premises in the house and it must be furnished with all responsibility. A dearly beloved child spends a lot of time in his room, so it should be distinguished by coziness, comfort, aesthetics and safety.

Nowadays there is a huge selection of furniture items, including for children. They fall into several categories.

Modular furniture

These include tables, chairs, bedside tables, shelves, beds. Modular beds are often equipped with special health-promoting mattresses that help the baby's body to position itself correctly during the night's rest. This is very important for the growing spine. The modular ensemble can be selected according to the needs and sizes of the nursery.

Cabinet furniture

Cabinet furniture is in the form of walls, cabinets, dressers. The little man must reach all this furniture without special efforts... Therefore, the maximum cabinet height should be 1.8 meters, and its depth should not exceed half a meter. Model bookcase should allow the crumb to easily reach any book.

Furniture for games

We recommend that you look at the sites of children's furniture to find a suitable option.

Soft furniture

Upholstered furniture belongs to the category of the safest and most non-traumatic furniture, as it is upholstered soft material... However, do not overload the room with such items too much. For example, a hard orthopedic chair must not be replaced with an upholstered chair.

Materials for children's furniture

By the type of material, furniture for a children's room is also divided into several types. Wooden furniture items are considered environmentally friendly. If you do not have enough funds, you can stop at pine products. They are environmentally friendly and have budget price... but wooden furniture very easily damaged and scratched.

Furniture made of chipboard is quite in demand these days. But it is not suitable for a nursery, as it is capable of emitting dangerous volatile chemicals into the atmosphere.

Furniture made of MDF is quite safe and durable, since dust from wood is used for its production. The surface of such furniture is protected by a durable coating. She is not afraid of mechanical stress and wet cleaning.

Everyone knows that quality products are never cheap. For the manufacture of good children's furniture, super-quality materials and innovative equipment are usually used. Too much low price furniture is a reason to think about it and ask the seller for the appropriate certificate.

Spontaneous markets are not a very suitable place to purchase furniture for a nursery. Specialty stores and established brands are preferred.

The furniture should appeal to the little man. A child should enjoy the sight of her. Therefore, it is desirable to participate in the selection and purchase of furniture products.

It is also worth noting that the purchased furniture should not clutter up the nursery and be functional enough.

For all its beauty, the safety of furniture should come first. All utensils are valued mainly for their comfort and high degree of ergonomics.

It will be more convenient and safe for younger children to climb, holding on to the railing, along the steps, the distance between which is not very large. The upper level of the bed must be equipped with bumpers that will prevent a possible fall.

Every child needs personal space, so the choice bunk bed Potential solutions can be discussed with 4- and 5-year-olds - they can already express their preferences. Check with the children if they like your idea, and who of them would like to sleep on the first, and who would like to sleep on the second "floors."
