Choosing a children's bedroom set

Buying furniture for the arrangement of a children's room is a very important and responsible task that requires a conscious approach and a clear understanding of what you want to see as a result. That is why before a family trip to the furniture store you need to answer a number of fundamental questions.

What is a headset?

To begin with, a bit of theory - let's figure out what is a bedroom set, what are the constituent elements of it. The main task of this furniture is the need to ensure proper rest and comfortable stay in the room. That is why the main element of the headset is a bed. The state of health of the child, his activity, ability to learn and, of course, his mood depend on its quality and functionality.Quite often, bedside tables are included in the headset, they are convenient for active role-playing games of toddlers and meetings with friends. In addition, they conveniently store books, textbooks, stationery, souvenirs and many other things necessary for each child.

Unfortunately, the majority of apartment owners cannot boast of having a dressing room, so they are forced to install modular headsets with a wardrobe in their rooms. This piece of furniture is usually equipped with a large number of shelves, sections, compartments, drawers and hinged structures. Some headsets are equipped with drawers that are very convenient for children. This is a small low cabinet that includes several drawers. Children usually keep bedding, sleeping clothes and many other important things in them.

For older girls, it will be nice to complement the set with a dressing table., for which the child will learn to care for themselves and preen before meetings with friends and girlfriends. A mirror and a small table where the girl will keep her jewelry, combs and first cosmetics are simply necessary for the young lady.Depending on the cost and configuration, some other items can be included in the bedroom set - children's walls, pouf, dressing tables, shelves and much more.

Do children need a bedroom set?

There is no unequivocal answer to this question - very much depends on the characteristics of the room, the age of the children and the financial component. If you summarize the experience of young families with children, then there are several cases where the purchase of a headset is not justified.

  • If the room is too small or has an uncomfortable shape, the bedroom suite can take up most of the free space and deprive the kid of the play area.
  • If you are equipping a room for the youngest children. Keep in mind that a bedroom set is not cheap, and after a few years you will have to change the furniture. For example, babies often get beds with images of cars or fairies - an older child will probably want to change everything for something more classic.

That is why it can be said that a full bedroom set should be bought only for children from 9-10 years old, when the tastes and stylistic preferences of the young owner of the room are fully formed.

Can I buy budget furniture?

The most important requirement for furniture for a child is the exceptional quality and use of environmentally friendly materials, which is why it is not worth considering headsets in the lowest price category. As a rule, cheap furniture is made from low-grade material, so active exploitation can lead to breakdowns at best and, at worst, can be a source of child injuries. Yes, paints, varnishes, which are used, sometimes contain toxins and other harmful substances.

It is best to choose natural wood, however, this option is not available to every young family, so in a limited budget, you can stay at some golden middle - DSP. This is a relatively inexpensive material that belongs to the hazard class E1. This suggests that the emission of formaldehyde hazardous to health is almost zero, which means that with good processing of all edges, one can not be afraid of the release of substances dangerous for a child’s life.

Something average between wood and chipboard is MDF. This is a very durable, high-quality and absolutely safe material, which is usually pasted over with attractive films, simplifying the care of the headset.Of course, buying an expensive bedroom set will hurt the wallet of young families. However, reliable furniture - a guarantee of health and safety of the baby, besides the headset for a long time retain their presentation. Therefore, if after a few years there is a need to sell a headset - this can be done quite quickly and with minimal loss in price.

If you buy upholstered furniture, then for sofas and chairs it is better to give preference to natural upholstery. They are not so erased than their synthetic counterparts. In addition, natural fabric is more pleasant to the body, it reduces the manifestations of sweating and allows the skin to breathe during sleep.

Is it worth buying “growing” furniture?

Many manufacturers in recent years brought to the market the so-called "growing" furniture, which increases in size with the baby. Headsets of this kind are usually based on the installation of transforming beds with various mechanisms for lowering the front wall. Such products are very functional and can serve the baby for many years.

This is an advantageous offer, since such a headset can replace 2-3 sets of furniture, thus saving is evident.However, it makes sense to buy such furniture only if the product is of exceptional quality, and your child does not have a stormy temperament, so you can be sure that the broken details of the bed will not result from his active games.

What color furniture prefer?

Childhood is a wonderful time, full of games and fantasies, which is why, in the children's room setting, it is better to give preference to a bedroom headset rich in color. The interior is very important bright accents and details that can lift your mood. In the children's bedroom there should be absolutely no place for boredom, but you shouldn’t even overdo it. Awkwardness, color abundance and a riot of shades can lead directly to the opposite result and disrupt the emotional and mental state of the crumbs.

Keep in mind that if you overdo it with wallpaper - they are easy to remove and stick new ones. But change the bedroom set will be much more difficult. Psychologists recommend that when choosing bedroom furniture for children, take into account the peculiarities of the child's temperament. For example, gray and brown tones are more suitable for young melancholic people, and bright accents in this case are represented by colorful textiles.Phlegmatic should try the orange and red tones, although in this color it is better to arrange the individual elements, and not the whole room. Violet tones will be optimal for the sanguine, and blue, green and blue for the choleric person.

It is necessary to take into account the sex of the baby. It has long been accepted that for girls use pink, lilac and peach shades, and for boys - blue, blue and green. Although this unit is very conditional. Any option except pink and lilac will be equally good for a young princess and a young pirate. And if two children of different sex live in the room, then you can pick up the set so that the furniture is similar, but different in shades, thereby zoning the room.

How to choose furniture, taking into account the free space of the room?

When purchasing a bedroom set, one should not be mistaken with its dimensions - here it is extremely important to find the necessary “middle ground” so that the headset fully performs all the necessary working functions and at the same time does not create a feeling of tightness in the nursery. It should be taken into account and some age features of the crumbs.If a newborn needs a changing table and a miniature wardrobe, then as they grow, they will have to have a more adult bed with a writing desk and bookshelves.

The situation is a little more difficult if in one room it is necessary to create a sleeping place for two or more children, especially if they are of different sexes. In any case, you will need to put two beds and preferably a couple of working corners, and you can make one place for games. If there is no place at all in the room, then it is worth buying bunk beds or roll-out beds or small corners that fit a training and play zone, as well as a comfortable sleeping place, in a couple-three square meters. In this case, the main element of the headset becomes a loft bed.

In addition, when planning a headset, it should be borne in mind that the bed should not be placed near the radiator or right near the window, because in the first case it can cause the mucous membranes of the body to dry out during the heated period, while in the second case there is a high probability of drafts and colds.

In conclusion, I want to give a little advice - ask your child's opinion about how he wants to see his children's bedroom. Of course, you should not expect that the baby will tell you in detail what kind of furniture he needs to buy, but you will definitely make up the general impression of what his ideal sleeping place will look like. Try to remember yourself in childhood - what kind of furniture did you want, what did you pay attention to when using? This will help you with the child to make the right choice and furnish the room so that it is not only functional, but also very beautiful.
