How to create a comfortable place to sleep, study, rest in a relatively modest space for two sometimes completely different people? At first glance, the task seems very difficult, but if you know small designer tricks, slightly dig into the psychology of the child and show fantasy, it turns out that the planning of a children's room for two is a whore business.

General recommendations
The design of the room for two children depends on the mass of factors: gender, age, hobbies, etc. And before studying the planning methodology and other wisdom, it should be understood that every case is individual, and if the photo of the children's room for two girls caught my eyes, does not mean at all that the same will suit your children. This is a very subtle psychological moment. You are parents and you know more, but you create a living space not for yourself, but for other people, even if the most relatives. That is why there should be future tenants in choosing furniture, colors, decor, layouts.
Planning a children's room
Working out the planning, it is often not possible to repel from your own desires, but from the available quadrature and geometry of the room. Well, if you have a spacious or medium size square or rectangular room. In such sleeping places you can position along the wall, dividing them with a decorative arch or shelving with shelves for books.
If you decide to make a nursery in a wide room, then sleeping places to better put in opposite walls, placing them mirror. Near the window will fit writing desks with shelves or racks for textbooks. If the room, on the contrary, is too narrow, the optimal option will be or secret beds (hiding in the wall), or bunk bed. In terms of ergonomics, the furniture has long made a huge step from folding sofas, and the market is a lot of interesting proposals.
If there is a niche in the room, you can "drown" in her beds, thereby saving free space (headings in a niche). There you can attach several shelves or bedside boxes.
In a limited space, it is very convenient to place beds in the form of the letter "g". Forming such an angular zone, you save a lot of free space - free the place along the walls and in the center of the room. You can even come up with a convenient layout even for a children's room for two by 12 square meters. M or 8 square meters. m, as shown in the photo below, for example.
If we are talking about the room on the last floor (attic), you can also beat the interior at all, adding curtains, carved letters, shelves and other elements.
It is worth a little talk about bunk beds. It has long been clear that they are ideal for small children's rooms, but there are a lot of variations of such furniture: a regular bed for 2 floors, with a slide instead of a ladder, two beds on top, downstairs workplace and so on. Also, the bunk bed can be a whole complex consisting of beds, desk and wardrobes, books, toys. Very interesting beds with perpendicular location of beds. In this regard, the child sleeping on the first floor is experiencing more comfort, because space is released over it. In addition, such a design allows you to organize more shelves, hang lamps, etc.
If you get on your eyes in the store with roll-out mechanisms, do not deprive them with attention - they are quite comfortable and compact. The same applies to the folding elements when the bed in the assembled form can be located at the level of the clothing cabinet, and before bedtime it is lowered into the working position.
Ideas for registration:
- For children of different floors, the walls in the room can be painted in different colors (contrast), thus separating the territory. To combine and harmonize the interior, use general subjects in the decor, such as a photo or pictures in the same framework, furniture, decorations, stickers or stencils on the walls.
- If children are actively learning a foreign language, make an emphasis on this to help them in learning. If this is English, the room can be arranged in the style of the London street with red telephone boards and two-storey buses drawn on the wall. If this is a Japanese, the cranes can be depicted on the walls on the background of the rising sun, hieroglyphs, windows curtain bamboo blinds, etc.
- If your children are delighted with some fairy tale, place the room in the appropriate style. For example, if it is "Harry Potter", recreate a similar interior, draw on the walls on the walls and wizards. If the guys are delighted with cosmic odysseas and fiction, turn the ceiling in the starry sky. The number of ideas is truly infinite, but at the same time the first thing you need to know the preferences of the future residents of the room.
Zoning children's room
The topic of zoning space is extremely relevant, especially if it comes to the design of a children's room for two. Most often, children, even twins, have completely different characters, preferences and hobbies, and therefore each of them is vital for its space. Most think that personal space is necessary from adolescent, but this is a gross mistake - having its own zone, the child will develop faster and actively show interest in anything.
The zoning of the room should be done based on the age of children. So, if it is preschoolers, then studying is not yet in the first place, but prevails gaming activities. Therefore, it is necessary to highlight a place to sleep and rest (games). Schoolchildren need to add a place to occupy (writing desk and shelves). Further, if the child shows interest in sport, you can equip a sports corner - Swedish wall, dumbbells. But at the same time, you should not forget that children are two, and in a good one for everyone, a separate working area is needed.
Zoning can be made using a rack by putting it as a partition between two written tables, or in general, dividing one room for two. If the quadrature does not allow, zoning can be purely visual - with color and decor. This not only looks beautiful, but also has a powerful psychological impact, denoting the boundaries and creating a mood for a particular zone. That is why if you decide to paint the color, you need to competently choose a range for each segment. In the bedroom zone, calm tones should prevail, in the working - more rich, but not "screaming" so as not to distract attention, but in the game zone you can give fantasy will. We will talk about this topic in more detail in the next chapter.
Useful advice: in the work area Try to make as many boxes and shelves as possible so that there is a place for each subject, otherwise everything will be puzzy on the table and in the corners.
Divide the space on the zone helps not only the painting of the walls and the placement of furniture, but also the flooring. The workplace should be clean and easily closed (shavings from pencils, plasticine pieces, paints after drawing), so the carpet should be at all irrational. But where is the place where he is, so it is in the gaming area where you can sow, get sick or just sit on the floor and play cars or dolls. If the room has a sports corner, there are mats there.
Color gamut of children
Repair planning consists of several stages, one of which is the choice of color scheme. Stripping from it, you can already pick up the coatings that would make it possible to realize the conceived, but not the opposite. But no matter how you act, never use only one color for the whole room - it is boring and impractical.
Why is the painting of the room in one color is bad? First of all, even if you choose the most cheerful, cozy and beautiful color to your taste, it will be boring, if you do not support it with a decor. In any case, bright stains must be, especially in the children's room.
If you are equipping a children's room for two boys, a snow-white ivory shade, which is so like mom, very soon enriches more juicy shades - traces from fingers pinched in paint or ink, for example. Remember that children are small researchers of a huge and new world, which is completely incomprehensible why it is possible to draw on a white sheet, and it is impossible to draw on a white wall. But still imagine that you painted the room into a light color and each time we take children, demanding not to draw on the walls, do not touch the walls with dirty hands, etc. Toddles simply will be uncomfortable to live in such a room where it is impossible to fully enjoy life. That is why it is necessary to repel from the preferences of children, making their constructive amendments, but no more.
Optimal tones for fidget boys - graphite, steel, cold shades of blue and green. For a boy and girls, you can zonate a room with blue and purple flowers with blond inserts. Do not hesitate to use interior stickers and thematic painting. For example, on half of the girls, you can depict a fabulous castle, and on the side of the boy - a knight on a horse or a ship with pirates.
Another reason why the use of several shades when painting the walls is more profitable - the ability to visually expand the space and use it more efficiently. For example, if children live in the room, at the age of which it is customary to draw on any surfaces, the lower part of the walls to 70-100 cm is better to cover the washing latex paint not too light color. And if you paint the ceiling with white paint and capture 20-30 cm of the height of the walls, the room will seem much higher than it really is.
Furniture for children
We already briefly concerned the topic of double beds, but in the children's room, in addition to a place to sleep, there should be many other useful furniture. But before thinking than to force the space, it is necessary to understand that the furniture for the children's room for two should be special - safe, compact, ergonomic and comfortable. Cabinets, tables and beds must be durable so that you can climb and jump - children's games are unpredictable.
Children's furniture must be without sharp corners, otherwise regular bruises, abrasions and bruises are provided. Do not choose cabinets with glass inserts or glass shelves, better if everything is as simple as possible and natural (wood, metal). Look for options with an abundance of drawers to make a place for each thing, and nothing was lying on the floor. The clothing cabinet should be comfortable and understandable (it also applies to adult cabinets). If the child has to be rummaged there for more than two minutes, to find a favorite T-shirt or socks, then the wardrobe is inconvenient, and does not accommodate all things (on the other hand, things can be too much and need to revise the wardrobe).
Special attention to the lighting. One lamp in the middle of the ceiling is not quite insufficient - there should be a lamp over each workstation, and the cold spectrum, since warmly relaxes and does not concentrate. In the sleeping zone of light as such is not required, but there you can install a night light in the form of funny animals - and decoration, and scattered lighting. Such a night light will allow the child to navigate at night, if he wants to get up drink or to the toilet.
By creating the interior of the children's room for two children, you should remember the ecology of each selected item, whether it is furniture, finishing material or lighting. The paints are better to take on a water basis (acrylic or latex), as they will dry quickly, create a durable, but breathing coating and do not distinguish harmful substances (a good sign of suitable paint is the absence of a sharp odor). As for the furniture, it is recommended to give preference to wood with moisture-resistant coating to make it easier to care. Plastic in this regard is also good, but it is not enough durable.
The options for children for two are a lot, but the decisive voice still has to belong to children. Therefore, before being taken for business, prepare photos of future furniture to choose from, photos of the designs of the designs from magazines and the Internet, the paint palette, which you would like to cover the walls, show all this to children and create a room of their dreams.
