There's just a little more than a couple left until the first bellweeks – it’s time to prepare the nursery for school. Read our article today to find out where to start, where to go and what to pay special attention to. It doesn’t matter whether your child is going to first or last grade, a light room redesign will help to visually reflect a new stage of growing up and inspire the child for future achievements. 1. More seriousness Isn’t it time to change the wallpaper? Cute clowns and dogs don’t set the mood for school. Choose something more stylish and restrained, for example, graphic Woods wallpaper from Cole&Son. You can find an “adult” carpet in neutral shades and a new lamp (but here, less seriousness). If the room’s area allows, hang a swing (after all, a schoolchild should have fun too) or install a wall bars.
2.Trick Your child doesn’t like studying, hates reading and rarely does homework? There is one unusual way to stimulate him. All children love secluded corners. Buy your child, even if you have only one, a bunk bed. At the level of the second tier, you can place several shelves for books on the wall, scatter pillows, hang a cozy sconce. Just make sure that written work is still done at the desk. Bunk bed Bunk bed Leo. Price - 19,990 rubles. Mito Melitonyan, architect: “The first thing you should pay attention to in the learning process is properly selected, ergonomic furniture. The student should be comfortable, because he spends a lot of time at the desk. I recommend using furniture that can be adjusted in height, in particular a desk and a chair, until a certain age, while the child is growing quickly. You should not use very soft furniture and chairs with a back that reclines too far: this relaxes the child and distracts from the learning process. The chair, in my opinion, should be quite hard, with a telescopic function. I also recommend using fabric upholstery or covers. Firstly, they can always be replaced with new ones, and secondly, fabrics are tactilely, in my opinion, more pleasant than any leather materials or their artificial analogues. The table should be large, that's for sure. I advise separating the work desk and the gaming computer area (if possible), for which, ideally, there should be a separate table. Proper lighting is very important. I always recommend cold light with adjustable brightness, which can be adjusted to the perception characteristics of each individual person. 3. Make a chalk wall Now there are special compounds that allow you to give almost any flat surface magnetic properties. In particular, if you choose a magnetic primer and paint it with chalkboard paint, you will have a beautiful work surface that can be used for both study and play with equal success.
Magnetic primer Magnetic primerMagnetico. Price – 550 rubles. Paint for school boards Tikkurila paint for school boards. Price – 955 rubles. 4. Instill a sense of responsibility Personalized decor can be a great way to remind your child that he lives in a room that periodically requires cleaning. And since this is his room (his name is on the wall), it’s time for him to clean it himself.
Mito Melitonyan, architect:“The arrangement of furniture in the room is very important. It is believed that the light on the table should fall from the left if the student is right-handed, and vice versa. But do not forget that modern children quite often use a computer for studying. In this case, it is necessary to place the monitor so that direct sunlight does not fall on it. To do this, you need to find out when the sun comes into the room and put the table in the opposite corner. It is equally important to separate the work area and the rest area. I do not recommend placing the table next to the bed, because this creates the feeling that you are studying or working even when you are sleeping, and this is difficult for children (as, incidentally, for many adults). Ideally, studying in the bedroom should not be at all, but the living space often does not allow separating these functions. Placing a TV in the child's room is also not welcome: it should be in the living room. " 5. Expand the boundaries of sleep Maybe it's time to buy a new bed? A large bed for a grown-up schoolchild is both a nice gift and another step on the path to adulthood. You can put a nightstand next to the bed and an alarm clock on it. Or are you not yet ready to transfer the “joy” of waking up your beloved child to a soulless mechanism?
6.Private Zone Has your girl grown up and there is no room for a dressing room? Then buy her a screen, a light bamboo chair and a large mirror. Without any conditions – just a gift for a teenage girl. And for a boy, you can give him good sneakers, let him set records.
Mito Melitonyan, architect:“In addition to the rules, there are also individual characteristics of a person that must also be taken into account. Let the child create his own space the way he sees fit. After all, his sense of comfort is different from yours, and the habits that you instill in him cannot always be called a reflection of his personal inner state. Perhaps mistakes will be made, but this will allow him to make independent conclusions about how to organize space, because they do not teach this at school, and periodic rearrangement of furniture in the room will make the room dynamic. Static interiors at some point begin to irritate you internally. By the way, when you move furniture, thus organizing a new sense of place, you relieve stress. And remember: children want to be treated like adults. Therefore, before you buy your child bright (for example, orange) furniture and put a green carpet on the floor, look at various design websites with him: maybe that is where he will find something that will fully reflect his character. Trust your children and don’t be afraid of experiments. But this is already from the realm of psychology.” petagazine.com, weheartit.com, wohnideenn.de, floridaysmom.com, boholmain.com, thehouseagent.net
