The answer to this question is purely individual and depends on the number of children living in the room, their interests, age, social status of the family. Consider the desirable items that should be in the children's room.
Bed
The child's sleeping place should be comfortable, clean and age-appropriate. For newborns, cradle beds are often bought, cribs up to 1.2 m long with sides are suitable for grown-up babies, and full-fledged beds with anatomical mattresses or sofas for teenagers. When choosing a bed, pay attention to the materials from which it is made. Natural wood, painted with safe paints or varnished, is considered optimal. For teenagers, metal beds are also suitable, they have an increased margin of safety and wear resistance. The original options in the form of a house, cars, carriages will appeal to kids and their parents and can become a certain highlight of the entire interior of the children's room.
Desk and chair
Modern children have their own table or desk not before school, but already at 2-3 years old. Parents are concerned about the development of their children and strive to provide space for creativity from an early age. This makes sense, because a preschooler needs a place to draw, play with clay, play board games, and create crafts. Parents of schoolchildren should pay attention to the height of the table and chair, because the student can spend a long time at the workplace, doing homework. The best solution can be growing desks, the height of which can be adjusted.
Wardrobe or chest of drawers for clothes
Furniture for storing clothes and linen is necessary for any person. While the children are very young, chests of drawers with drawers will do, but as the child grows older, the child’s wardrobe grows and space is needed for new outfits.
Toy storage system
In the children's room it is worth providing a place to store toys. It can be ordinary plastic boxes or wooden chests of drawers. There will be shelving too. The main thing is to help the child maintain order. 
Sports Equipment
Children involved in sports from an early age should be able to arrange their sports equipment at home. It can be a punching bag, Swedish wall, climbing rope, slides, table tennis. Everything is limited only by the area of \u200b\u200bthe room.
Place for books
Alas, the current generation of children reads little and reluctantly. The rapid development of computer technology, the presence of a laptop or tablet in almost every family, and access to gadgets from an early age pushed books into the background. Therefore, the task of parents is to provide a convenient place to store books and regularly replenish the library with children's literature. And daily reading aloud will instill an interest in books from an early age.
Place for awards and achievements
If a child receives cups, medals and certificates, it is very important not to hide them in a distant drawer, but to decorate the room with awards. Cups look great on the shelves, and hooks can be provided for medals. Also, do not forget about children's crafts, drawings. They should also find a place in the interior of the children's room.
Air conditioning equipment
Pediatricians talk about the important impact on health of temperature and humidity in the children's room. Recommended parameters for children - humidity 60%, temperature - 23 degrees. Therefore, parents strive to provide comfortable conditions and install humidifiers, ionizers and air conditioners.
A computer
Computer science begins in high school, so many children have their own computer at home. It is very convenient to use special tables with a pull-out shelf for the keyboard and mouse to place the computer.
Desk lamp
A very important attribute of a child's room is a table lamp or floor lamp. Doing homework, reading a book, putting together a puzzle or painting is better in natural light, but in the evening you should use additional light sources.
If you are pregnant, then you have probably already thought about what to buy for a newborn.
There are so many plans: to buy clothes, furniture, care products, a stroller ... Oh, and even toys and diapers!
In the children's goods store, eyes widen.
Expectant parents are perplexed looking at the assortment, and sellers are trying to sell more things that are not really needed.
How not to make a mistake with the choice of purchases for the unborn child? How to rationally allocate funds so that not only enough for the necessary things, but also left for cute little things in the form of rattles and beautiful booties?
Sleep or furniture in the children's room.
For a comfortable sleep, the baby needs its own bed.
It could be small cradle, which is useful for a child up to 4-5 months.
It is impractical, because soon you will have to buy a bigger bed, but it looks very cozy and beautiful in the interior of a children's room.
You can also buy classic bed.
Such a bed will serve for about 3 years, because it is a rather large bed, fenced on all sides: which means that it will not be scary to put both a newborn and a three-year-old child in a crib.
Bed-dresser.
Such furniture significantly saves both space in the apartment and the budget: at a relatively low price, you get a changing table, a chest of drawers for things, and a crib.
However, the sleeping place will not last long, because the child will grow up quickly, and the chest of drawers is a priori small for the amount of clothes and diapers that usually goes on the shopping list for a newborn.
Bed-transformer.
Very comfortable and also economical furniture that can be useful for a child from birth to 5 years.
An almost classic crib is transformed into a regular bed (the grill is removed from one or both sides, the bottom is lowered) - and the cradle grows with the child.
There are options for a crib that can become a sofa, but this design is already more expensive.
It is up to the parent to decide which crib to buy, however, the requirements for the bed should be strictly observed:
- furniture material must be natural
- no toxic coating paints
- the bed must be safe
- comfortable
- and preferably beautiful
Also, you need to buy a high-quality orthopedic mattress for it.
If you can buy the simplest bed, then you can’t save on a mattress for a child.
What to buy for a crib?
- Crib bumpers or small soft pillows - they will protect the baby from drafts and shocks when he learns to roll over and crawl, and also decorate the bed.
- 3-4 sets of bed linen preferably in soft colors and with a minimum of drawings on it. The material must be natural (more often it is 100% cotton).
- Blankets: 1 woolen or down, 1 thin flannelette, which can be replaced with a high-quality children's blanket. The filler of the blanket should not be made of synthetic winterizer - it is toxic to the baby. You won’t need a pillow for up to a year - if you wish, you can put a folded diaper under the baby’s head.
- Oilcloth or waterproof mattress cover.
- A night light so that you do not have to turn on the central light to see how the child sleeps.
Bed mobile.
Beautiful musical design with toys rotating on it.
This device will definitely be interesting to the baby, but in the first month he is unlikely to appreciate it - rather, he will be scared or simply not pay attention.
Therefore, it will be possible to buy a mobile later.
Changing table and chest of drawers.
You can buy these things separately, or you can buy a changing chest.
The design of a chest of drawers with a folding top is very convenient, which can be removed when the changing place is not needed and turn it into a regular chest of drawers for things.
On the chest of drawers, you definitely need to buy a changing mat with soft sides and an oilcloth washable surface.
In addition to these must-have items, you can purchase:
- Bouncer or electric swing
- Chair for feeding
- Rack or cabinet for children's supplies.
Necessary things for feeding.
If you plan to breastfeed, you will need almost nothing.
From the minimum set - pacifier bottle, imitating a female breast (Avent has such, for example) and spoon in case you need to give medicine.
breast pump should be purchased only if you plan to constantly leave home and entrust the feeding of the child to relatives or a nanny. Or if you plan to express milk and bottle feed your baby.
With proper breastfeeding and established lactation, you simply will not need it.
Also, if you are concerned about the problem of inverted nipples, you need to buy nipple covers.
For the first time, you may need breast pads. But you should not buy too many of them: when lactation improves, milk will come only at the request of the baby and will not leak.
If for some reason you are unable to provide your child with breastfeeding, you will need to purchase more different feeding devices:
- 2-3 bottles
- brush to wash them
- bottle warmer
- sterilizer
- a set of children's dishes (for the future)
- a thermal bag (if you often leave home with a newborn - to maintain the temperature of the mixture).
Bathing.
For the first months of a child's life, you need to buy a special bath for bathing. But some parents prefer to wash the baby immediately in a large tub.
It is also worth purchasing a water thermometer to determine what the temperature of the water is for bathing a newborn.
Optional, but possible is a bathing slide (it will allow you to comfortably place the child in the bath and free at least one of your hands) and an inflatable bathing circle (however, many children do not like it).
You will also need terry towels with a corner and a soft natural sponge for the body baby.
For the first time, from cosmetics for bathing, you only need a mild soap without sulfates, fragrances and parabens, which is suitable for children from birth and can be used for both body and hair. They will be able to wash the child and wash their hair.
A large number of oils, shampoos, gels is simply useless - this is more of a marketing ploy and a desire to sell more products than a necessity.
Bathing toys will be needed after 4-5 months, when the baby can already sit in the water, and before they are simply not needed.
Clothing.
Choosing clothes for a child is a pleasant and exciting activity not only for mom, but also for dad. Still: tiny blouses and rompers are so cute and beautiful...
However, it should be remembered that the newborn is growing rapidly, and the initial 56 children's size quickly turns into 62, then to 68 and further upwards.
Therefore, in order not to waste money that can be useful for more necessary things, it is worth limiting yourself to the following.
Baby Clothing.
Form a list depending on the time of year that the child was born.
- Envelope for an extract. This is certainly a beautiful thing, but not the most necessary.
- The prices for envelopes are high, and it will come in handy only once. Therefore, it is worth taking a closer look at the blanket envelope, which you can then use to cover the baby on a walk, or you can immediately buy a beautiful walking envelope.
- Undershirts or blouses (warm and thin, 3-4 pieces each)
- Sliders 3-4
- Body with short and long sleeves (one of each type)
- Slipik or bodysuit (1-2 pieces)
- Thin and warm hat
- Socks 1-2 pairs (the baby's foot will grow very quickly, so you can take sizes for growth)
- Anti-scratches (2 pairs per shift)
- Warm nights or booties for a walk
- Suit or overalls for walking. You can use a travel bag.
Toys.
In the first month, the newborn almost does not pay attention to rattles and other toys. But after 3-4 weeks, the baby will be interested in looking at various beautiful objects.
What toys to buy for a child?
Rattles.
- The very first - rattles-pendants. Until the child can hold objects in his hand, you can hang them on the crib.
- Then after a few months you will need ring rattles, teethers and rustlers.
- To develop coordination, you can buy a child bracelet toys or socks with bells.
Mobile.
Mobiles vary in price and configuration. Some are mechanical and some are electronic. The choice is up to you.
But it should be remembered that it is necessary to hang the mobile at a distance of at least 30 cm from the baby's eyes and not above his head, but in front, so as not to provoke the development of strabismus.
Play mat.
The thing is quite controversial. It is needed for 1-2 months, and it is unlikely that you will be able to buy an inexpensive play mat (if you only buy a toy from your hands - but why would you use second-hand children's goods?).
An analogue of a play rug is a crib over which you can hang various soft, rustling toys on strings: both simple and safe.
Electric swing.
They are different in price and device: from inexpensive simple cradles to super gadgets for 20-30 thousand rubles.
Electric swings serve as an excellent assistant to parents, keeping the child busy for a while, but it's up to you to buy a swing or not.
They will only come in handy until the child learns to roll over and crawl - then he will get out of them, and this device will become dangerous for the baby.
Other gadgets for a newborn.
These are optional goods, but they are often offered to parents, assuring them that they are indispensable!
Video baby monitor and baby monitor.
These are devices that help you monitor your baby when you are not in the room with him. But in fact, such gadgets are needed if you live in a large house, especially a two-story one. In a familiar apartment, even a large one, you will always hear the cry of a child. And leaving a baby for a long time is not worth it even with a baby monitor.
Cocoonababy.
Fashionable cradle for a newborn. However, buying inexpensive cocoonababy will not work. And it will be useful to a child for a maximum of 1 month. Therefore, think carefully about the acquisition, because its price is in the range of 10-12 thousand rubles. But you can ask for this gadget as a gift.
iTherm. Fashion smart thermometer.
Allows you to measure the child's temperature in real time. It is put on the baby's shoulder like a bracelet and is synchronized with the smartphone. It costs about 5,000 rubles, so it is also a controversial item on the list of necessary purchases for a newborn.
At first glance, the above list for a child is huge! However, everything can be acquired gradually, as needed and possible.
Remember that, first of all, a child needs the love and care of parents - this is paramount for him.
The children's room in the house is a zone of increased parental care. We all want to make the child's room the best, most beautiful and comfortable. But often, carefully considering the design of the room, choosing beautiful furniture and toys, parents forget about the most important thing - the safety of the child. Together with the expert, we recall what must be in the children's room.
1. Furniture – stable and without corners
Doors and furniture must be stable and not have corners. Stability is ensured by fastening the furniture to the floor or walls, as well as by installing door stops. Furniture with rounded corners can be selected in advance. If there are still corners, they are closed with special overlays - protectors. It is reasonable to provide corner protectors throughout the apartment, and not just in the nursery. Babies are very mobile.
2. Plug sockets
The first steps are the presence of grounding in the house and the installation of an RCD (residual current device). The second step is working with electrical installation products. If there are small children in the house, it is worth equipping it with special outlets with “curtains”. When a foreign object (studs, sticks, screwdrivers and any narrow part) gets into the socket hole, the shutters automatically block the holes. If the sockets have been in the walls for a long time, the obligatory solution is plugs.
3. Unbreakable light sources
All parents know how peripheral light sources are needed in a child's room. They are important for children so that they are not afraid when they wake up in the dark. And just as important for parents, because they need to move silently around the room. Light sources in the children's room should be made of unbreakable materials, preferably environmentally friendly and without sharp corners in the design.
In addition to lamps and nightlights, the backlight of the double-glazed window can become a source of light. The nursery with the onset of darkness will turn into a fairy-tale world. Illumination of the double-glazed window will allow your baby to fall asleep sweetly, admiring the patterns, stars, flowers. And it will be easy for you to move around the nursery.
4. Child locks on windows
We all know how kids love to spin at the window, climb onto the windowsill in an effort to explore the world. A famous picture - a baby in pajamas sneaks closer to the glass and puts pink palms on the glass.
A child lock is a simple and reliable solution for the safety of your child. The sash handle can only be rotated with a key. And we just keep the key away from the kids. The mechanism of the locking device itself fits well into the design of the sash. Children's locks provide for a ventilation mode, so that there will always be fresh air in the nursery.
Children's room must be multifaceted in terms of interior design. For parents, here are a few basic tasks that must be completed in order for both the child and his mom and dad to be confident in the safety and comfort of the room.
Nevertheless, there are often cases when it is not possible to avoid common mistakes in the design of children's rooms, so we propose to work on the mistakes and correct obvious, as well as hidden flaws.
1. Cold light
For any living space, lighting is especially important, but in a nursery, low-quality light is unforgivable. If you do not feel the atmosphere of comfort for a long time, it may not be the layout or texture of the upholstery, but the cold white artificial light that comes from the lamps of a chandelier, spot or floor lamp.
Correctly:
When choosing lamps for lighting fixtures in a nursery, not only power, but also tonality plays a decisive role: the light should be warm, with a yellowish undertone. It is good if the lamps are equipped with a special device for regulating the intensity of the luminous flux - a dimmer.

2. Game environment
A room designed for your baby or a preschooler does not have to shimmer with bright colors. If flashy shades are used in excess in the arrangement and decoration of the interior of the nursery, the space will become like a playroom in an amusement park. In turn, such an oversight will lead to the fact that it will be difficult for children to focus, for example, on classes, study or recreation.
1
Correctly:
We tirelessly recommend choosing light basic shades that will form the basis of the color scheme of the room: sand, cream, golden, pastel shades, natural colors. All of them will be an excellent backdrop for brighter objects, a large number of toys, a playhouse and other accessories.
3. Expensive wallpaper
Parents who strive to create an atmosphere of luxury from the very birth of a child can be envied or advised not to rush into choosing expensive wallpaper or wall panels. Silk-screened or realistic painting is best left until the child is old enough to appreciate the high quality and value of such materials.
Correctly:
A stylish and beautiful interior today can be created without using precious woods, expensive fabrics or wallpaper. The walls in the nursery, where a small child lives from the age of 2 years, it is better to simply paint, decorate with polyurethane moldings or liquid wallpaper. In the case of pollution, so frequent in children's rooms, it will not be difficult to clean the surface.
4. Wrong bed position
A crib should not be placed close to a window, due to the fact that drafts often occur in this area. You should also not place a bed near the door for the same reason, and because it is more difficult for a child to fall asleep in the evening if there is noise in other rooms.
Correctly:
A bed for a nursery is essential furniture, because a full and healthy sleep is necessary for development and growth. Therefore, the sleeping place should be placed in the center, with the headboard or sidewall to the wall, as far as possible from the entrance and the window.

5. Tall or deep cabinets
Unless the storage system is equipped with a reliable ladder that gives access to the upper shelves, its presence is not entirely justified when it comes to the room of small children. Toddlers find it difficult to get the right thing if it is high or too deep on the shelf and there is a danger of overturning an unstable cabinet or falling from a height.
2
Correctly:
Until the child has reached a certain age and height, you should not place large furniture in the room, which, in the end, will not be convenient for the owner of the nursery. Here, every item should serve the children and create the best conditions, whether it be a closet for a wardrobe, or a rack for books and toys.
6. Carpet
Soft and warm, carpet is not a good enough option for flooring where small children live, create and misbehave. Be sure: no detergents will be able to remove all stains from spilled paints, plasticine, felt-tip pens, or plants brought from the street.
Correctly:
For the floor in the nursery, choose a practical laminate or linoleum, on which you can lay a compact warm rug in the play area. Such an instance is much easier to clean and the hassle of cleaning the room will be less.
7. Heavy curtains
Textile textiles are different, so what is appropriate in an adult's bedroom is completely unsuitable for a nursery. Imagine what hide-and-seek games for kids behind thick curtains on a heavy cornice can turn out to be. In addition, a similar option for window decoration in this room will be extremely impractical.
Correctly:
If you hang curtains, then always from a light fabric that does not require a massive cornice. And one of the most successful ways of window decoration today is the Roman lifting mechanism, which looks stylish, easy to use and safe enough.
8. Dark workplace
If parents notice changes in the child's posture or their unwillingness to do homework, it may be due to the wrong location of the desk in the room. It is important to remember that it is impossible to install a desk or desktop against a wall perpendicular to the window, even if there is an abundance of sunlight entering the room.
Correctly:
The best place for the work area is the area directly in front of the window, as the child does not have to strain his eyesight and lean low over the table during classes.

9. Stereotypes
You should not think that the boy's room must certainly be decorated in blue, gray or red tones, and the girl's room should be all shades of pink. This is just as wrong as using purely “childish” decor or pieces of furniture in the interior.
Correctly:
If this is your desire, then the choice in favor of caramel or heavenly tones is, of course, possible. Nevertheless, one should not forget that there are other equally beautiful shades, as well as shapes and textures that can emphasize the individuality, character and taste of a growing person.
For example, in a boy's room, you can use a graphic pattern in the form of flowers or birds, it looks great in combination with dark shades and natural textures of metal or wood.
10. Unequal opportunity
It often happens that one nursery is designed for two children of different sex or age. At the same time, when an older and a younger child is shared in the nursery, a sense of ownership and rivalry for the best chair, shelf or bed by the window inevitably arises. Often, parents consciously distribute the space not equally, but with the expectation that the older child has already grown up and he no longer needs this or that thing, and vice versa.
Correctly:
As far-sighted and far-sighted parents, you should in no case encourage such situations, but bring up better feelings, tolerance and respect in children.
The children's room should be distributed so that each of the children, regardless of age or gender, is in equal conditions.
For example, place beds on either side of a window, put a couple of chests of drawers along opposite walls, and organize two workspaces according to the age and needs of the little ones.
Your child moves to a separate room and, of course, he needs to create a comfortable and cozy interior, thanks to which all the things of the child will lie in their places, toys will be put away in special racks and containers, the bed will meet all the requirements of parents and baby.
To begin with, make a new renovation in the children's room for a very young child. Walls can be painted with safe bright paint, decorated with cartoon characters or, for example, flowers, images of animals. New children's wallpapers will undoubtedly add coziness and warmth to the room.
Install good double-glazed windows that do not let in the cold and extraneous loud sounds of the street. If the child will be alone in the room, install special protection on the windows for children in order to exclude the possibility of the little one falling out.
Children from 6 months to adulthood love to spend time playing on the floor. Make a good floor in the children's room, which will be easy to wash and clean, which will be pleasant to sit on, without freezing the buttocks. The best option would be carpet in the nursery, because even with insufficient heating, the child will not catch a cold due to the thermal insulation properties of the carpet. Carpets for children can now be bought in any color, even with cartoon characters, even in the form of city roads with traffic lights and pedestrian crossings.
Don't forget window decorations and lighting. Choose beautiful curtains or blinds that match the color palette of the room. There must be a large chandelier in the center of the room, a small bedside lamp or sconce on the wall, buy a table lamp for schoolchildren.
What furniture to buy in the children's room?
- bed;
- work table and chair;
- wardrobe;
- shelving or bookcase;
- toy box.
These are the basic pieces of furniture that every child needs, whether it's a toddler or a schoolboy. Looking at the photos of rooms for newborns, moms come to tenderness and delight, because they are so fabulous and cute. In the nursery for a newly born baby, put a chair, or a rocking chair, so that it is more convenient to feed the little one.
It is clear that for little restless preschoolers it is better to choose furniture without sharp corners, streamlined shape, images of the child’s favorite heroes are welcome, for example, a wall clock with a fairy face, or a calendar with ninja turtles.
Try to divide the room into zones and teach the child to order and cleanliness. He himself must tidy up in his "kingdom". Zones can be classified as follows:
- zone for sleep and rest;
- play area;
- zone for creativity and study.
Buy accessories in cheerful colors, make an interesting canopy over the bed so that you can hide under it.
For boys, you can put a hut in the corner, for girls, a dressing table with a beauty mirror.
If a child likes to climb all sorts of ladders, trees and other obstacles, install a sports corner in the children's room. Children love to hang on it, especially when friends come to visit.
In order to save space, you can consider buying a loft bed, below which the workplace will be located.
After all the furniture is in place, let the child arrange his own toys, things and books on the shelves. This process is fascinating at any age, remember yourself, is it nice to carefully place your wealth in a new closet?
In addition, the child will better remember where he put his dolls or soldiers, and will not go and beg for you to find, he will be responsible for his losses.
Here are some original children's rooms:
For two children, you can buy a bunk bed, or use the above options from the images. Each child should have their own desktop, or you can organize one long desk, the main thing is that everyone has their own personal space.
