Children's room design for two girls of different ages
Two girls in a family usually live in the same room - no matter how old they are, what each likes. Therefore, a room for two girls needs to be made multi-functional, taking into account the interests and tastes of each little sister, which can differ markedly with the difference in years.
Children's for two young ladies should be bright, spacious, comfortable and functional.
Features of the nursery for 2 girls
No matter what size children's room for girls, which they will divide into two, here we need two places for a night's sleep, the rest of the areas - training, games, storage area can be made common. However, you need to consider:
- The age of both girls, the difference between them - the baby has a lot of toys that need to be stored somewhere, the teenage girl has a lot of school supplies and clothes.
- Interests of the sisters - one is interested in music, the other - drawing. Therefore, in the room you need to place the music center or piano and easel.
- The eldest guests often come: you need a place where girls can comfortably sit.
The table between children's beds perfectly zoned the room and gives personal space
It is such a difficult task before the parents of the sisters: to combine everything they need, to create a comfortable space - an ergonomic beautiful interior design of the children's room for two girls.
A two-level bed in the nursery will leave a lot of room for study and play.
Space zoning
The main zones are allocated in the children's room, intended for two girls: night sleep, games (for girls, schoolgirls it can be a creative zone, a hobby), a storage area, a learning zone. This allocation should take into account the interests, characteristics of both children.
Bedroom
To begin planning the design of a nursery for two girls you need from her. Two full beds should be made separate. If space permits in a room, it is better to purchase two identical beds - there will be no dispute over whom it is more beautiful. Yes, and 2 identical elements in the room will create a symmetry. Beds can be arranged in several ways:
- Parallel to each other to different walls or perpendicular to one wall;
- Headboard to headboard along one wall;
- Perpendicular to each other.
Palace style bedroom of two princesses can look very stylish and modern
You can divide the girls' sleeping places with a small partition, an open rack between the beds, canopies - in this case, each girl will have a cozy nest where she can feel like a real princess. The photo shows how to equip a bedroom for two girls.
If there is no possibility to divide the sleeping places of girls, you can use canopies over the headboard
If the room is small, and the placement of two beds (and you still need a wardrobe, bookshelves, a desk for study!) Becomes problematic, you can consider the following options:
- One bed from which the lower berth rolls out. On the day it rolls and is not visible. This option will remain comfortable even when the elder girl becomes a student and studies in another city - during her arrival she will have a full-fledged sleeping place, which is not necessary on other days.
- A bunk bed is a popular option, but is only welcomed when the ceiling height allows you to place such furniture without harming your health. In ordinary apartments, where the ceiling height is not more than 2.5-2.7 meters, there can be a lack of oxygen on the upper tier.
- A folding bed that turns into a closet wall for a day. Its disadvantage is a considerable weight: it is dangerous for little girls to throw it away on their own.
Bunk bed saves space in the nursery
During the daytime you can hide the sleep area altogether by making a catwalk: at night the beds roll out from under it. On the podium is equipped with a game or training area.
Training tables are better placed closer to the window - sunlight will increase time
Work corner
Place for school lessons need every girl. If a room is issued for two girls of different ages, you will have to put two full-fledged tables for classes with shelves for educational books, writing-boxes. They can be placed along the window, next to each other, or placed so that they adjoin each other with angles. Place the shelves on the adjacent walls and in the corner.
Bay window - a great place for arranging a school desk in the nursery.
If the girls have one computer for two, set it in a corner so that each sister can use it.
If there is only one schoolgirl in the house, you can get by with one table, and the youngest can buy a growing desk or a folding table with a chair. They come in different designs, are designed for different ages.
A table for studying in a children's room requires high-quality and good lighting.
Storage area
Clothes, underwear of both girls can be stored in one closet, having allocated each separate shelves. Seasonal things with a lack of space removed, shoes are stored in the closet in the hallway. The best exit will be a corner wardrobe, it will save the usable area, occupying a non-functional corner. This option is also convenient in terms of security - the smaller the sharp corners in the children's room, the fewer bruises and bumps.
It is better to choose a wardrobe for two compartments so that each little hostess has her own place to store things.
Rest zone
For a teenager girl, the bed can be replaced with a sofa: in the afternoon it will become a place of rest, play. If there is a baby in the house, a carpet is definitely needed on the floor - children love to play "on the lower tier". Toys can be placed on racks, in ottomans, thumbs. Girls love to play dolls - let your little girl install a doll house that you don’t need to take apart every evening.
Multifunctional furniture in the nursery will provide plenty of space for rest and entertainment.
Color palette
When choosing colors follow the following guidelines:
- Do not make the design of the children's room for girls of different ages very bright - the little princess likes the pink color, but the teenager girl can feel uncomfortable in the glamorous interior.
- Do not make room in the same tone - white, beige. Add bright colors - they can add mood, become a way of zoning the territory of each of the girls. If the sisters are about the same age, decorate half of the room - where her bed, table are, in one color, half of the other sister - in another. Such an eclectic design will appeal to both of them.
Recently, the Scandinavian style for children's interior has become very popular.
