Ideas and tips for decorating a bedroom and a nursery in the same room

Bedroom zoning ideas

Before combining the bedroom with the nursery, starting the rearrangement of furniture items and starting finishing work, it is necessary to draw up a schematic plan of the room, which will indicate the existing doorways, windows or a balcony.

As an alternative to zoning, redevelopment repairs can be performed. If it is planned to install a capital partition in a room, which implies a load on the supporting structures, a special permit, coordination and approval of the project is required.

You should not allocate zones and delimit a shared bedroom if a small child will live in the parents' room only for a while. Otherwise, the interior with installed partitions and special wall decoration will have to be changed.

Visual zoning of the combined bedroom

For visual separation of the combined adult and children's room, different finishes are suitable. For example, the walls in the bedroom can be pasted over with wallpaper that differs in shade, texture or pattern. It is best to choose canvases in calmer and more pastel colors. In addition to wall cladding, floor materials in the form of parquet or laminate, which are environmentally friendly and easy to clean, will help to delimit the space. It will also be appropriate to highlight the children's corner with a soft carpet.

When zoning with color, two opposite sides are painted in a contrasting color or several shades of the same color are used.

The two-level ceiling system also provides an excellent opportunity to divide a room. The suspended or suspended ceiling in the children's area is equipped with LED lighting, and the parent sleeping segment is equipped with spotlights. Thus, it is possible to visually divide the room using lighting.

The easiest way is to allocate a sleeping place for the baby through a variety of decorations. The walls near the crib can be decorated with photographs, stickers, drawings, toys, garlands and other accessories.

Functional separation of the nursery and the bedroom

Since, in some apartments, it is not always possible to arrange a separate room for a child, functional zoning is used in the combined room, which allows you to organize a personal corner for everyone.

The main techniques are considered to be the delimitation of space with decorative structures, sliding doors, shelves and arches. Plastic, wooden or plasterboard partitions perfectly isolate the children's bedroom from the adult, but at the same time hide the useful area in the room.

The shelving unit is an excellent separating element. Such a piece of furniture will not interfere with the penetration of natural light into every corner of the room. In addition, the open shelves will perfectly fit your home library, toys, textbooks and decor that will complement the surrounding bedroom interior.

Thanks to zoning with a tall wardrobe, it turns out to create a functional storage system and save square meters in the room. With a sufficient amount of space, the structure is equipped with shelves on both sides. A folding bed or a whole furniture complex can be built into the compartment wardrobe.

After zoning the room, the window opening will be located in only one segment, therefore, for good penetration of natural light, the partition is replaced with translucent curtains. In addition to fabric curtains, it is appropriate to use bamboo, plastic blinds or a lightweight mobile screen.

Another unusual solution for dividing the bedroom is to design a small podium for the parent area. An elevation on the floor is equipped with boxes or niches in which bulky things, children's toys or bedding are stored.

Features of the arrangement of furniture

An adult bed is the largest structure in the bedroom, so a place is allocated for it in the first place. In a narrow and elongated rectangular room, the parent's sleeping place can be placed across one of the long walls. If the room is of sufficient size, the bed is installed diagonally, with the headboard in the corner.

It is better to place the bed where the newborn baby will sleep near the parent's bed, closer to the mother's sleeping place. If the room has a square shape, the cradle can be installed opposite the parents' bed. It is not recommended to place a baby cot near heating appliances, noisy household appliances and sockets.

It is appropriate to fit a bed for an older child into a free corner opposite to the parent's bed. It is not advisable to place the baby sleeping bed opposite the door. It is appropriate to furnish the place next to the window with a work table and storage systems in the form of book hinged shelves or a narrow toy rack, which can also solve the problem of zoning in the room.

Tips for small bedrooms

The design of a small bedroom is developed as carefully as possible, taking into account every square meter in the room. There are several rules for equipping a small room and turning it into a cozy place for parents and a child.

First of all, massive and heavy furniture should be replaced with mobile transforming structures, and the child's bed should be placed near an adult sleeping place without using partitions.

For ceiling and wall decoration, it is advisable to choose materials in light colors, instead of thick curtains, hang transparent curtains or blinds on the windows.

Organization of a children's zone

When equipping a resting place for an older child, the crib is replaced with a small folding sofa or armchair-bed. For a student, a loft bed can be installed in the room with an upper tier representing a sleeping bed and a lower floor serving as a work desk.

For a young family with two children, a bed with an additional pull-out seat or a bunk model is suitable, which makes the most efficient use of the free space.

The adult half of the room is decorated with paintings, photo wallpaper and other decor in a calm tones. At the will of the parent's sleeping bed, wall sconces or floor lamps are placed. Lamps that match in style with the surrounding interior will look good on bedside tables or a chest of drawers.
