But in the case when the place is very small, the clothes can be temporarily stored in the parent's closet or in a common dressing room - more space for games for kids is much more important. A teenager will not sacrifice, for example, his computer in order to put a large closet in his place.
• A sofa or chair will be useful in watching cartoons or reading, but you can also do this in bed by placing a couple of pillows under your back. It is also advisable to put a chair for mom and dad to read bedtime stories.

Important! We recommend placing them in children's cabinets with shelves for educational materials. So the child will be convenient to take the necessary books and stationery, and parents will save time on their search.

• Free space is a must for every child. Especially if he only knows the world around him or is actively involved in sports or creativity. To assemble everything into one, you need to carefully consider the design of the future children's room.
• When planning a children's room, immediately identify the area for storing toys. This will help to maintain order and proper distribution of game space.
