Children's room in white: combinations, choice of style, decoration, furniture and decor

Interior design features

Why is white a great solution for decorating a nursery?

• It is versatile - suitable for both a boy and a girl, and can also be combined with any other shades.
• Has a positive impact on the child, developing creativity, giving a sense of purity, freedom and freshness.
• In good daylight, it is worth choosing a cool shade of white with a bluish undertone, and with a lack of sunlight, a warm one (ivory, creamy).
• White erases the boundaries of the room, and if you provide the interior with spotlights, the space will seem wider, which is appropriate in small rooms.

Color combinations

Let's look at some successful combinations of white with other shades.

The white and brown nursery looks familiar and cozy, natural textures with green elements add natural warmth to the interior. Dark colors (black, gray) are more suitable for a teenager. For example, a white and gray room looks stylish and laconic, and if you wish, you can add any bright accents to the decor - orange pillows, blue carpet, etc.

White in combination with yellow will add cheerfulness to the interior and muffle its activity. If the child wants a red room, it is better to just add rich details (carpets, rugs, curtains on the windows) so that the bright color does not tire. You can change them if you wish.

The white room looks original in combination with purple, but there should not be too much of such an active color.

Finishing options

The most common way to decorate walls in a white room is paint. When buying it, it is necessary to clarify whether the composition is suitable for a children's interior. Before painting, you need to level the walls with putty, prime the surface and apply the composition in one or two layers. White walls are diluted with wide or narrow stripes, helping to visually expand or stretch the room.

Wallpaper is another budget finish. They often have a small pattern that enlivens a monochromatic setting. These methods can be combined: create accent walls, add clapboard or plaster tiles for a brick. It is desirable that all materials are natural, including flooring.

Both laminate and linoleum for the nursery must have a material safety certificate. In addition to wood flooring, carpet can be used in the child's room. If there is an ornament on the walls, the floor covering should be monochromatic so as not to overload the interior.

The ceiling in the children's room does not always remain traditional: to decorate it, paint in saturated colors, frescoes, stickers and even wallpaper is used. In this case, it is recommended to make the floor light in order to balance the color palette of the room.

Furniture and decor

A white children's room is not only walls, but also furniture, as well as all kinds of decorative details.

A white chest of drawers, necessary for storing toys or clothes, fits perfectly into a light environment, as if dissolving into it. The same goes for bulky cabinets. If the room is small, it is worth placing the storage system around the door: this design saves space and adds comfort by hiding the door.

It is recommended to buy a table for growth. Today there is a special transforming furniture for children, which "grows" with the child. The color scheme for furniture can be either restrained or contrasting.

In a spacious nursery, in addition to a bed, you should put a sofa, which is useful for games, relaxation and receiving young guests.

The bed in the room is the main element, it is worth choosing it with great care. The child will appreciate if an unusual design appears in his bedroom: an attic bed, a podium or a bed in the form of a house. There are also children's sofas with an orthopedic mattress that can play the role of a bed.

Open shelves and racks are an indispensable element in a nursery. Psychologists recommend placing some of the books and toys in plain sight so that the child can always reach the desired object. Such designs take up a lot of space, so it is preferable to put a rack in the same color as the walls in a white room.

Both furniture and textiles should not cause dissonance in a white room. Do not use more than three shades in the decor. The type and color of textiles depend on what image you want to create for the nursery.

Light curtains, light lace pillows, soft carpets are more suitable for girls, and blinds, roman blinds, colored carpets with a short pile will be appreciated by boys. However, in the end, the situation depends on the nature of the child.

Design ideas

The children's room is perhaps the best place in the apartment to realize your creative ideas. And since white is an excellent backdrop for non-standard furniture and decor, you don't have to limit your imagination.

Not everyone decides on a brick wall in a children's room, but how stylish it looks, adding texture to the atmosphere! You can use both ready-made gypsum tiles and natural brick from masonry - both materials are environmentally friendly and safe.

You can also beat the walls of a white room in simpler ways: stickers, posters, framed photographs, geometric patterns. Homemade balloons, clouds, bunches of paper lanterns, toy airplanes will magically look under the ceiling.

For painting on the wall, you can hang a roll of unnecessary wallpaper or paint the space with chalk paint. Also popular are cork boards, which are easy to place children's creations on. In the nursery in the attic, curtains and swings suspended from the ceiling are appropriate. And, of course, any child will be delighted with the second floor, especially if the height of the ceilings allows you to equip it.

In what style is it better to arrange?

It is unlikely that a child will appreciate compliance with any style in his room: the most important thing is that he is comfortable and safe in this room.

Provence is perfect for romantic girls. A wrought-iron bed, floral-patterned textiles and antique furniture fit perfectly into a French-inspired setting.

Modern style is the safest option. It combines beauty and conciseness, and most importantly, functionality, which is very important for a children's bedroom and playroom.

In the photo, floral wallpaper echoes the print on textiles, and pink is in perfect harmony with mint and turquoise.

The classic style is difficult to recreate in a primary school child's room: toys, colorful books and a sports corner are difficult to fit into an elegant, sophisticated setting. Classicism and neoclassicism are appropriate in a room for a newborn, where parents maintain order, or for a teenager who can appreciate and preserve the nobility of the interior.

The Scandinavian style is most popular for rooms in white shades, because this is the main color of the Scandi direction. In such children's materials, most of the materials used are natural: wood floors, cotton and linen textiles, toys with a minimum of plastic. The furnishings are light and subdued.

Another interesting solution is to decorate the nursery in a marine or eco-style. In the conditions of urban life, children often lack communication with nature, and design with wooden elements, images of fauna and flora will partially fill this gap.

At first glance, the loft style may seem out of place in a children's room, but in fact, it is an excellent background for the implementation of all sorts of creative ideas. The roughness of the textures is minimal, and the feeling of spaciousness is achieved by mirrors and glossy surfaces.
