The choice of goods for the furniture of the children's room is something that you should go for after careful consideration, especially if you want to provide a safe, secure, but also fun environment for children. We say this not to bother or scare you, on the contrary, we share it because we know how difficult it is to make the right choice of quality goods for a child's room, especially in recent times, when there seems to be a huge variety of furniture and decoration for children's rooms.


 

Tips for furnishing children's room

Divide the room into zones

The children's room should have several separate areas:

 

Sleeping and resting area

The sleeping area is the most important, so you need to pay special attention to it. When choosing a cot, you should not be guided by the price and design, but by the functionality, quality and comfort. You should pay special attention to the quality of the material from which the cot and mattress are made.

If you can, choose a bed made of quality wood such as beech or oak to be rest assured of the cot's strength. If your budget is more limited, then you can opt for a material like MDF.

 

Storage area

There should no doubt be a place for clothes and toys in the children's room. Usually for children's rooms, manufacturers offer wardrobes, corner cabinets, chests of drawers for storing toys and more.

If you have more free space, our advice is to buy a wardrobe and a cupboard or chest of drawers for storing toys. However, if you do not have much space, then you can stop at a wardrobe with a built-in storage compartment for toys.

 

Training area

 

If the child is still young and does not go to school, you do not have to look for and buy a special desk. Instead, you can consider buying a small plastic table and chair or a transformable table to build on as the child grows.

In the training area, it is good to put a few shelves for storing books, crayons or other children's "treasures". If the child is a pupil, then you need a child's desk with space for a computer and keyboard, a comfortable chair and various shelves for books, textbooks and other school supplies and aids.

 

Play area

This area is very important for children, so you should not neglect it. Depending on the age of the child and the free space you have, in this area you can place a swedish wall, a play house, a tent, an active mat, etc. Or you can leave this area free of furniture so the child can play with what he likes.

Choose the goods according to the age of the child

Whatever models of children's room furniture you choose, they should correspond to the age and height of the child. This means that you should not buy a bed that is too small or too large, nor should you buy cabinets that hang high. All furniture in the room should be easily accessible so that the child can easily go to bed and reach for toys and books, even from the top shelf.

Invent a theme for the room

For the colors of the furniture and decoration, as well as for the overall theme of the children's room, it is good to consult with the child. Discuss with him his favorite characters, match the colors and theme that the child suggests. Listen to it and try to reach some consensus so that you and your child are happy in your nursery. And then act.

Basic criteria for choosing goods for the nursery

Material

As the child spends a lot of time in his room, the furniture and decoration chosen should be made of non-toxic, hypoallergenic and quality materials.

 

Popular materials for making children's room furniture are the following several types:

 

  • Natural wood
  • MDF
  • High quality plastic
  • Chipboard

 

Beech or oak furniture is very strong, but their price is quite high, so not every family can afford to buy such furniture for the nursery. MDF material is a very great choice for children's room furniture, as it is completely non-toxic, strong, and its price is much lower compared to natural wood furniture. Plastic is also suitable for children's furniture, as this material is also strong, non-toxic and hypoallergenic, and the price of tables, chairs and beds made of plastic are really affordable.

Lastly, we put chipboard as a suitable material, as its strength is not very high and it often happens that it is necessary to repair some furniture only after a few months of use. Leaving aside its qualities, chipboard furniture has the lowest price and you can easily buy a set for complete furnishing of a children's room at the price you would pay for only one cot made of natural beech or oak.

Safety

Safety is the main criterion according to which you should choose the furniture of the children's room. Therefore, before buying any goods for the child's room, you should inspect it carefully and make sure that it is completely safe and secure. Look out for sharp edges, protruding elements or bolts that could injure the child.

If the product is colored, ask the store if the paint does not contain harmful substances such as lead and others. To be absolutely sure that you are buying really safe goods, always look at the label for the presence of the CE standard and the certificate for quality and safety of the product.

Versatility

If you plan to change the furniture of the room every year, then you can bypass this criterion. But if you want your child to be able to use the furniture for at least a few years, then you need to focus your search on furniture that is multifunctional and can be transformed or upgraded over time.

In the trade network you can find cots that can be transformed, cots that can be turned into beds, tables that can be upgraded and turned into student desks, etc. Multifunctional furnitures are practical, comfortable and will save you the purchase of new children's furniture every year.
