Interior design nursery for a boy and a girl together

Many families are forced to combine the bedrooms of heterosexual children in one room in the conditions of small-sized apartments.

You need to understand that the harmonious interior of a nursery for a boy and a girl together is a difficult task even for experienced designers.

But there are many interesting solutions for its implementation.

Zoning space

To make the bedroom of a girl and a boy comfortable and convenient, it is necessary to distinguish several zones in it. It is important to properly plan and divide the space, without violating the general style of the room, because the zoning of rooms has many nuances. Thus, it is possible to satisfy the interests and tastes of children, give them the opportunity to go about their own business, and avoid conflicts. This is very important for the formation of the children's psyche.

It is advisable for a comfortable existence to allocate for the girl and boy the most spacious and bright room. You can divide the room and create for each child a personal small corner, using different ideas:

• capital partitions;
• open shelving;
• sliding screens;
• multi-level floor;
• multi-tiered structures;
• color accents.

In a spacious room it is easier to create personal and common areas, but even a small room can be transformed in an amazing way if you are smart and creative in creating the interior.

The main zones are allocated regardless of the size of the room.

Various interior items will help to delimit the space effectively: shelves, lighting devices located at each child’s “own” wall. You can distinguish as follows:

1. A place to sleep and relax. The girl and the boy should have isolated beds. The use of bunk beds or attic beds saves a small space as much as possible. Children love such designs. But this option is suitable for rooms with high ceilings. The best choice would be multifunctional beds or a podium device, in which a berth will slide into a niche.
2. Work area for study and creative studies. The best place by the window is where there is enough sunlight. If there are two schoolchildren in the family, then bulky desks can be replaced with light consoles attached to the wall. Above each place, place open shelves for stationery and books. For young children, a common working area can be distinguished.
3. Gaming. This zone should be shared. There may be a game table, a training board with many different functions, a common wigwam. It does not hurt to highlight this place with a bright rug.
4. A place to store things and toys. Most often, these are spacious open shelves and shelves, since there is usually not enough space to install storage systems. A good solution would be beds, sofas, podiums with built-in drawers for linen and clothes. If the area allows, a common wardrobe is installed, but with separate shelves for brother and sister.

If both children are active and mobile, then a small sports corner should be arranged for them. Of course, not to the detriment of the main zones.
