Children's room for a newborn boy

Psychologists and pediatricians recommend the first months to lodge the baby with their parents. It is helpful at night when the baby wakes up to eat. Such tactics are rarely “convenient” for parents. The baby sleeps for about 20 hours, which is significantly different from the regime of the day of parents. In such cases, extra space helps out specifically for the baby - the nursery.

For decoration it is advisable to use natural materials

So how to decorate a room for a boy? You need to know the basic rules:

1. By standards, the decor for the boy is made in the following colors: blue, blue, white, gray. However, modern design solutions in the room of a newborn boy suggest the presence of brown, beige, which makes it more comfortable.
2. On the walls are usually painted images of ships, cars. There is nothing wrong with that, but it is important that all the objects depicted on the walls have real, not distorted, “cartoony” outlines. Otherwise, he may have a misconception of things, their real forms. Therefore, the design of a nursery for a baby is a difficult process.

In the color scheme, the design of the room for the boy is dominated by calm, restrained tones.

The best floor coverings are cork, floor or parquet

Children's room for a newborn girl

Design for a newborn girl is made in pleasant colors. Do not use "full" colors for wall decor - mix them with white. Then they will not pay much attention to the walls, but they will create a gentle atmosphere. This rule applies to all craftsmen creating designs for a newborn.

The little princess room is traditionally decorated in pastel shades.

Most often, pink is used for decor, but instead of the usual shades, you can use turquoise, lilac or chocolate colors.

It is desirable that the interior, furniture materials contain white or milky - this will visually make the space wider, lighter.

For decorating a girl’s room, floral patterns, beautiful ornaments, ruffles and drapery are suitable

Sometimes, as a decor item, indoor potted flowers are placed. Of course, the plant filters the air, dissolves a pleasant aroma, makes the interior more tender. There is a possibility of an allergic reaction of the baby. If such symptoms appear, then you need to immediately remove the plant.

Do not clutter up the space with toys, otherwise the child will lose the effect of “novelty” as he grows up, he will demand more. 1-2 toys is enough for the first 5-6 months of life.

Please note that all toys are soft, without sharp, elongated parts. The kid learns to hold objects tightly, so the risk of injury is great.

In the baby’s bedroom there should be as few “dust collectors” as possible - soft toys, carpets, books and extra accessories

How to decorate a newborn's room with your own hands

The issue of decoration is most often faced with discharge from the hospital. So what kind of nursery design for a newborn to choose? There are a lot of options for materials.

Room decoration should be comfortable and safe for the baby

Making a baby crib for a newborn with their own hands is an economical way, but you need to know the basic principles.

Remember! the first months of life will not notice the beautiful wall decorations, so the whole decor will be more likely for adults.

But in the course of growing up, the child will become interested in the environment in which he lives. He will be interested in the objects that surround him, so ensure complete safety. Buying toys with elongated parts, sharp, small parts is the wrong choice. The interior of the room will be the first place that he will have the impression of. Further psychological development depends on the “first room”, therefore it is still worth paying special attention to the decor.

The berth for the newborn should be such that the baby calmly falls asleep and wakes up with pleasure, feeling parental care

• Tapes. Familiar posters, “thank you for my daughter / son” ribbons for decorating the walls will not damage the environment, but will make it pleasant for mom. In addition, on the discharge photographs, the tapes will remind you of the joyful, vivid emotions experienced after the birth of a new family member.
• Colors. Wall painting involves the use of pastel colors. Calm shades will appease the psyche of the baby. Make your mom enjoy being in the room.
• Environmental friendliness. All materials used in the manufacture of furniture, wallpaper, paint, toys, etc. are environmentally friendly. Otherwise, it will cause irreparable harm to the growing body of the baby.
• Fabrics and curtains. Dense fiber fabrics are bad for a newborn because they quickly accumulate dust. The best textile option is tulle. It will not spoil the overall look of the interior. And from above it is possible to hang curtains from light natural fabrics that they slightly protected from the sun, gave to the room a cosiness.

Curtains should not only decorate the interior, but also be easy to remove and wash

The room will need to control temperature and humidity, so purchase a thermometer

Furniture for a newborn's room

For the first months of life, furniture is needed more by parents than by a child.

Let us examine the options for the attributes that should include the design of children's furniture for the newborn.

1. Cot. The design of the crib should not contain sharp corners, not polished surfaces. Check the stability of the bed frame. There should be no smell of paint or varnish. It will be useful to purchase a bed with a falling bottom. Over time, the child will grow, learn to become, soon he will want to get out of bed. Then it’s enough for parents to just lower the bottom. This will extend the term of use of the bed by another 1-2 months, and then you will need to purchase new, larger furniture.
   

   It’s good if the crib and the bottom are adjustable

2. Baby changing table. Some mothers say that they can do without a changing table, and change clothes on the bed. If there is no desire to buy a full-fledged table, then there is another option - buy a cover plate. It can be put on the bathroom washing machine. After bathing, you immediately, without overcooling the baby, carrying to the room, change clothes in the warmth, than reduce the likelihood of a cold.
   

   Choose the height of the changing table so that you do not bend over caring for the child

3. Dresser for children's things. It is advisable that the crumbs from childhood have their own chest of drawers, despite such an earlier time.It is not advisable that the child’s clean clothes come in contact with the clothes in which the parents walk along the street. This can introduce the infection into an unstable organism. A small chest of drawers can be used as a place to store clothes, but also diapers, packages with diapers, which will make the general appearance of the room tidier.
   

   The dresser is especially needed if there is no storage space in the changing table

4. Night lamp. The lamp is a necessary device that simplifies the night feeding procedure. Turning on the ceiling chandelier can further agitate the baby. A nightlight with a soft white light that works either on batteries or on battery power is much more pleasant.
   

   Such an original night light can be made with your own hands.

5. Mat. Carpet is required for the nursery. The main thing is that he has a short pile. The long one quickly accumulates dust, it is harder to clean out. Small parts that a child will soon find can get there, which is very dangerous. On the carpet, he can play, develop. The soft surface creates a pleasant feeling in him, which is a necessary attribute of quality training.

How to choose the color of the nursery for the baby

As mentioned above, boys are characterized by “cold” shades of blue and gray colors of the walls, and girls are characterized by “warm” powdery shades. You can move away from the standard colors using turquoise, green, orange colors. The main thing is that they all be bright, otherwise the room will be gloomy.

The interior of the room welcomes neutral tones for walls, curtains and furniture.

Bright colors are also needed, but as accents

Sometimes parents do not know the gender of the child, the question with the main color is especially acute. In this case, the room can be painted with flowers belonging to the category “unisex”, that is, suitable for any gender. These include: green, brown, yellow-orange, white. The main thing is that they be calm.

We decorate a crib with our own hands

The first room where the baby will live can be safely called not a nursery, but a sleeping place. Indeed, in the first weeks of life, the baby most often sees the ceiling and interior space of the bed, with the exception of walks along the street and at home. Because of this, the decoration of the baby's crib is an important moment in the life time of the parents.

Crib

In the baby’s room, a berth must be present. It is advisable that the bed is made of wood. It retains heat well, looks cozy, reduces the risks of damage to the baby.

Choose a bed made of natural material and muted colors

If the color does not fit into the general interior, then it can be painted, but only ecological, not smelling of paint, since at the beginning of life the body of a newborn reacts especially sharply to environmental factors.

Mobile

A mobile is a thin “blanket” or “mattress” that is fixed on the inside of the bed. Its purpose is to prevent injury, protect against accidental light, extraneous sounds, as well as arouse interest in the baby. The last factor is possible if bright figures, animals, patterns are depicted on the fabric of the mobile.

Making the crib should be completely safe for the newborn

The mobile can be bought or sewn by yourself, having previously measured the parameters of the bed.

Canopy

The canopy is used to decorate the room of a newborn baby. It protects from light, dust, extraneous sounds.

Usually the canopy is sewn from tulle

Usually it is made from mesh fabrics to ensure a constant flow of air. It is especially suitable for decorating a girl's crib.

Children's Safari

Bright style of design of the “safari” will suit girls and boys, as it is preferred by active adventure lovers who like to include imagination playfully.

Safari belongs to the African ethnic style and has a dynamic combination of bright colors and ethnic details.

The main colors of the walls are:

• Orange;
• ocher;
• brown;
• red;
• yellow;
• light green.

If you wish, you can add a little black, but the main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the room will become gloomy. You can use special wall stickers to depict swamps, animals of safari animals. On the floor you can lay a yellow-green carpet. It will serve as an imitation of grass, give the interior a sense of unity with nature. The furniture used is also special, bright. For the "safari" style are not suitable even angles, neat painting. An excellent solution would be the use of benches with uneven corners, double-decker beds with ropes, "Swedish walls", and a dark brown table.

Safari can be called a very extraordinary style and attractive to children.

Dark furniture made of wood is best suited for safari.

Elegance in the interior of the room is inappropriate. Toys are also worth paying attention to. They should be soft, embodying the animals of the African savannah. Be sure that the child will be delighted with such a gift, and they will have fun, active games with their friends. A happy child always brings pleasant emotions to mom and dad.

The interior of a newborn’s room is a difficult matter. It is important to consider all the accents, furniture, because all this affects both physical and mental health.
