Finishing
When choosing a color scheme for decoration, you should give preference to light pastel colors. They visually increase the size of a small room, create a calm atmosphere.
Walls
For a small nursery, it is better to choose a monochromatic coating or with a dim small pattern. Large patterns and colorful images are recommended to be used to decorate one accent wall.
Delicate and soft pink color can be turned into bright and stylish
Suitable for walls:
- Dye. Water-based paints are safe for the child's body. Once dry, the surface of the walls can be wiped with a damp cloth. If the child paints the walls, it will be enough to apply a new layer of paint to remove the drawings.
- Decorative plaster. With its help, you can create an original design. After applying the plaster, the walls can be varnished to wash off the dirt.
- Wallpaper. The best option is plain paper wallpaper. They are made from environmentally friendly materials. It is impossible to erase drawings depicted with a felt-tip pen or paints from paper wallpaper, but due to the low price, they can be changed often.
Painted walls blend beautifully with wall paper
Vinyl wallpaper is not suitable for a nursery for two reasons:
- They do not allow air to pass through;
- Pieces of foam vinyl can be easily torn off with baby handles and stuffed into your mouth.
An interesting option for decorating a nursery is gluing coloring wallpaper, which develops creative inclinations. On such a wall canvas, a black and white outline of the drawing is depicted, and the child must already paint it with the help of felt-tip pens or pencils.

Floor
The floor should be covered with natural materials. The best options are:
- Cork. This warm and durable material softens shocks, absorbs noise, and is not afraid of moisture. It is perfect for the nursery.
- Parquet. Natural wood is an environmentally friendly, beautiful and warm material, but demanding in its care. Parquet is resistant to bumps, scratches and moisture.
- Carpet. The soft and warm material collects dust and can cause allergies. It is recommended to use carpet not over the entire area of the room, but only in the area of the play area.
- Laminate. You should choose models that imitate natural wood, not only externally, but also by touch. The surface of the laminated boards must be rough. Kids love active play and it is easy to slip on a smooth floor.
Cork floors are ideal for a child's room
Ceiling
White color - universal for the ceiling. If desired, you can use any calm shades in the nursery: milk, cream, apricot, light cornflower blue, pale pink. Vivid drawings will visually make the ceilings lower.
Multilevel plasterboard construction in alliance with a glossy stretch ceiling visually elevates the space
For work on finishing the ceiling, it is recommended to use:
- Water based paint. The coloring agent should be applied on a flat surface. In order not to waste time on aligning minor flaws, it is worth installing a painting glass cloth. It is safe, hypoallergenic and hides small defects.
- Drywall. With the help of this safe material, you can make a perfectly flat ceiling or build a multi-level structure. This option is recommended for use only in those rooms with high ceilings.
- Wallpaper. Wall murals depicting space, blue sky, tree crowns with green or yellow foliage will look beautiful on the ceiling of the nursery.
Drawing a starry sky or clouds will relax the child, helping to fall asleep.
Age features
It is necessary to design a girl's room in accordance with age, because the main condition is convenience and pleasantness for the inhabitant, and these concepts in a child are constantly changing.
Until 3
Up to 3 years old, the owners of the room are still parents, use and design the nursery at their discretion
Leaving the girl alone, it is important to take care of the absolute safety of all items for the baby. It must be remembered that the child is actively exploring and exploring the space, so he will crawl and run throughout the house.
3-5
At this age, the girl is actively living in her own room. The design is required for children, with a mass of bright objects that girls adore. The main games take place on the floor, you need a comfortable, soft, not too fleecy carpet and a lot of free space.
Older than 6
In front of the school, the nursery needs to be equipped in a new way. It is necessary to make changes, make room for school supplies, more clothes. At this time, zoning should be carried out - to allocate places for games and activities.
From 8 years old
After 8 years, the girl is moving away from childhood addictions, toys are gathering dust on the shelves. A room in an overly childish style will have to be remodeled for new interests, giving a more adult look. It is worth listening to the requests of the young lady, otherwise scandals cannot be avoided. It is better to think over the design together, remove most of the toys, leaving only the most beloved ones.
Teenager from 12 years old
A teenage girl lives by her own laws, she will paste over her unloved wallpapers with posters so that they cannot be found. Everything childish from the room is expelled far and forever, it is pointless to argue with this. You will learn about the planned changes in the room when you come home from work and see everything already altered. Ce la vie.
For children of different ages
In small apartments, children of different ages live in shared rooms. What needs to be foreseen:
- dividing the room into zones to provide their own cozy place for everyone (partitions, screens);
- separate cabinets or shelves for each in common closets;
- good lighting of the work and play table or corner for every child.
In what style to decorate the nursery?
There are no restrictions when choosing the style of the interior in the girl's room. However, the most popular options are:
- Modern. An ideal solution for already adult girls who have just moved to high school. Teenagers are already rejecting the abundance of toys and especially appreciate the free space in the room, without an abundance of unnecessary things. Items that make up your child's hobby - easel, synthesizer, etc., perfectly fit into modern style. The main thing is to give up acidic bright colors and use stylish pastel shades.
- Classical. Little princesses will appreciate this beautiful room design that will allow them to imagine themselves in the palace. Most often, it is performed in warm colors, and furniture is bought from natural and pure materials, in the production of which formaldehyde or other hazardous substances were not used. By the way, classic interiors go well with canopies. They are hung over the bed and act as curtains.
- Provence. The delicate French interior is distinguished by an abundance of floral motifs on the finishing surfaces (ceiling, walls, floor) or on the facades of furniture. Among the most popular shades are pink, mint, lilac.
Color matching guidelines
When choosing colors for a room, you should avoid shades that are suitable for a girl, but flashy shades. Muted tones are more suitable for design, because the room is not repainted every year. Bright colors tire, quickly get bored, it is difficult to find furnishings and accessories for them.
Pink
Pink is the standard choice for girls and is used to determine the gender of the baby in the stroller. Delicate shades of pink are ideal for bedroom decoration, discreet powdery tones are always relevant and fashionable. Details of a more saturated pink tone - paintings, shelves, an ottoman - can color the room.
Purple
An excellent alternative to pink is purple, a symbol of harmony and peace. Helps to tune in to sleep, soothes, great for the bedroom.
Cream
Cream shades are considered delicate, light. This is the color of the cakes that girls love so much. It goes well with other colors, including bright ones.
Orange
Sunny orange will refresh the room, facing the north side, bring warmth and brighten the inconspicuous rays of the sun.
Green color has a positive effect on the nervous system, calms overexcited babies, and is good for vision.
The combination of white with gold and silver
The combination of white with shiny shades gives aristocracy, requires maintaining perfect order in the room
Silver and gold are used with caution in design, shine is tiresome, does not dispose to rest and peace
Beige
Beige is the color of quiet, modest landscapes, it does not belong to either warm or cold tones. Beige creates peace and tranquility in the room, a relaxed atmosphere. Suitable for calm, quiet girls.
Lilac
A convenient color for a girl's bedroom, as it simultaneously stimulates the imagination, the thirst for creativity, and in the evening helps to relax and fall asleep. The color is chosen for walls, individual decor details, and not for furniture. Cheerful furniture looks very childish, it is better to buy furnishings in calm light colors (ideally, white).
Layout
The arrangement of furniture depends on the shape of the small room:
- If the nursery has a square shape, then the desk is placed by the window, and the bed and wardrobe are along the walls on the sides of the table. The remaining free space will be occupied by a wall bar, a dressing table, a curbstone or a rack.
- In a rectangular nursery, wide pieces of furniture are placed along narrow walls. If the window is on a short wall, then a bed, a low chest of drawers or a curbstone should be placed under it. It is recommended to place tall items such as cabinets along long walls. If the window opening is located on a narrow wall, then it should be decorated with curtains with horizontal folds, stripes or patterns. For a window installed on a long wall, curtains with a vertical pattern are suitable.
- In the process of developing a design for a children's non-standard layout, you will have to show imagination. So, for example, using drywall, you can make beautiful niches with shelves and lighting. For a comfortable arrangement of such a nursery, you may have to make some custom-made furniture for individual parameters.
We select and correctly arrange furniture
Requirements for furniture for a children's room:
- lack of sharp corners;
- environmental friendliness;
- easy cleaning;
- ergonomics.
A crib for any age should be longer than the height of the child. The minimum width for a comfortable sleep: 80-90 cm. The frame is less important in comparison with the mattress: from an early age it must be of high quality and orthopedic so as not to harm the posture.
The workplace also depends on the height of the child. Here is an approximate table for the height of the highchair and table for a children's room:
Child's height, cm | 90 | 120 | 140 | 160 |
Seat height, cm | 22 | 30 | 37 | 40 |
Tabletop height, cm | 40 | 52 | 62 | 67 |
Today on sale you can find models of work desks with adjustable height of the table top and chair - this is the best option so as not to change furniture every year.

Try to organize storage in the children's room so that they themselves can take out the necessary items and put them in place. To do this, on the lower shelves of cabinets, cabinets and dressers, they place what the baby can take on his own, and on top what is only with the permission of the parents (for example: paints, felt-tip pens). In a room for a teenager, the real owner of the room will independently decide what and where it is more convenient for him to store.
The furniture is arranged with maximum space saving, especially in a small nursery. For this, the bed is placed in a niche of wardrobes, for example.Or they install a two-tier structure, where there is a sleeping place on top, and an area for studying or storing things below.

Choosing the right color scheme
A few years ago, the design of a children's room was inextricably linked with the gender of the baby: for boys - blue and blue, for girls - a pink palette. Today, the boundaries have blurred and others have been added to the standard gender shades: white, gray, green, yellow, red.
When planning renovations in a children's room, modern designers pay more attention to the features of the room (size, lighting), as well as the chosen style. Small children's rooms require light colors: white, gray, beige, delicate pastel shades
The spacious ones can be arranged in a light palette, but using large dark or bright surfaces
Small children's rooms require light colors: white, gray, beige, delicate pastel shades. The spacious ones can be arranged in a light palette, but using large dark or bright surfaces.
If the windows of the room face north, pay attention to the warm shades that will charge the nursery with sunlight: yellow, orange, sand. In a room that is too light, on the contrary, create a soothing coolness: colors based on blue, green, gray will cope with this task.

In the design of a children's room, it is also worth considering the psychological impact of different colors:
- White. Increases self-esteem, encourages the development of creativity. Better to combine with other shades.
- Gray. Gives a feeling of stability, peace. Can contribute to self-isolation.
- Yellow. Promotes the development of intellectual abilities.
- Green. Helps to concentrate. Relieves insomnia.
- Red. It excites the central nervous system, cannot be used as dominant.
- Orange. Non-aggressive red, improves mood, energizes.
- Blue. Soothes, stimulates relaxation and sound sleep. May cause depression in large quantities.
What decor would be appropriate for a nursery?
The design of the children's room is the richest in decoration. At the same time, decorative design is achieved not only through accessories, but also through functional elements.
The first part of the decor is finishing. The walls can be painted with paints or pasted over with photomurals with your favorite characters, animals or other interesting subjects. A more practical option is interior stickers. They can be removed or changed without reworking the repair.
Furniture can also be a bright spot in a child's room. For example, a bed in the shape of a car or a headboard in the shape of a Mickey Mouse head. A soft chair with bunny ears, a pouf in the shape of a cat or a bear is not only a comfortable seat, but also a wonderful toy. Cabinet furniture can also be unusual - a house shelf or a pencil case in the form of a rocket will become a highlight of the interior.

Popular ideas for the interior of a child's room include a wigwam and a canopy. Moreover, the latter does not have to be hung over the bed, you can attach it to the ceiling above the floor, and throw several soft pillows from below.
Functional floor decor in the form of curly rugs or mattresses will keep the baby actively playing on the floor from freezing.

Thematic options
Many parents prefer to create cozy thematic nests for their beloved daughters. Note that this is good for babies; with age, this design will have to be changed. The exception is the undying classics, suitable for any age.
For the princess
Beautiful princesses - the heroines of the fairy tales loved by the girl, their clothes, rooms, surroundings can become an idea for decorating a nursery. You can safely choose your favorite plot, copy the colors and accessories of fairy princesses.
For barbie
All shades of pink are for Barbie doll fans. Recall that the main color should be light, powdery, not expressed pink. Individual elements of more saturated colors, decor, textiles can add brightness.
Classic style
White is considered a classic for a girl. Note that austere and neutral white looks like an adult and requires special care. Furniture and walls will have to be cleaned of paints, plasticine, juice, this is especially noticeable on white.
Forest fairy tale
A great option for a girl is decoration in natural shades of green and brown. This color has a great effect on the eyes, soothes. Decorations - butterflies, flowers, a carpet in the form of a grassy meadow.
Cartoons
Cartoon characters will support a good mood, inspire creativity. Many parents are trying to decorate the nursery with their favorite characters. The main difficulty is that tastes change, so it is better not to paint the walls, but to use curtains, paintings, toys for decoration.
Competent selection of decor
The last, but no less important component of renovation and interior design is the correct selection of decor. Moreover, regardless of age, decoration is simply necessary.
So pay special attention to this.
At an early age, the decor contributes to the development of the child and the understanding of the world around him. That is why it is necessary to select it based on these aspects. A good example of this is the small stylistic design of the ceiling above the crib under the starry sky, where the moon and stars can be hung separately.
At a later age, the decor itself changes. If we talk about the stylization of the room, then the decoration used depends, first of all, on the interior itself. If this is a little princess's room, then the decor should emphasize this. And if your child is already a schoolboy, then he may well help you in styling his future room.
Do not hesitate to use and functional decor. As such, various lamps, photo frames or stylized carpets can act. Often used when decorating and a canopy in the bedroom. In general, everything can be stylized, especially if you are able to do it yourself, restrictions are present only in your imagination.
Decoration of a nursery for a newborn
The space should be as functional and comfortable as possible.
First of all, a baby's room must be safe, functional and comfortable.
It is important to observe the following rules:
- The ability to regulate the temperature in the room.
- Correct lighting.
- Organization of noise isolation to exclude the appearance of extraneous sounds.
- The use of only safe materials in the design.
- The range is light, soothing, nothing flashy, bright.
It is good if the room, in addition to the crib, has a changing table and a cradle
It is recommended for an infant to choose a calm palette. To decorate a window in a nursery, use light curtains to let light in. Remember safety. When choosing furniture and other items, make sure that there are no sharp corners on which the baby can get hurt.
Creating a suitable interior design
The creation of an interior for a children's room for a girl is a very creative process, but, despite this, it must be approached very responsibly. After all, the kind of atmosphere in the children's room depends on how high-quality and thoughtful interior you create. The same applies to the selection of the color palette of the room.
The color palette itself must be selected based on the age of the child. If we are talking about children under two years old, then the best option would be to use light and delicate tones. It is recommended to use bright and colorful colors as complementary colors, which can arouse a child's interest in learning about the world around him.
It is worth remembering that in each zone you can use your own color scheme. For example, in the bedroom, the use of muted shades will be optimal, while bright colors should prevail in the recreation area.
If we are talking about preschool and school age, then here we can already talk about a certain stylization of the premises for the interests of your child. For girls, the ideal option would be to create a room for a little princess. Although you can consider more developmental options. An example of this would be the use of special wallpaper for painting. Moreover, you can combine a certain stylization and a narrow strip of similar wallpaper for drawing. The space for your creativity is large enough and it will not be difficult to make a teenage room cozy for your daughter.
It is easier with schoolchildren in this regard. They will only be happy to help you in creating the interior of their future room and will do everything the way they want. Which, in turn, will save you some of the worries.
The main thing to remember is that whatever style you choose, it should be bright and colorful. Indeed, for children, the emotional component is very important, even when it comes to the room. That is why try to convey positive emotions as much as possible when creating an interior. And often this is achieved through the correct decoration of the children's room.
Furniture selection
The selection of furniture must begin with drawing up a plan where the different zones will be located. A simple outline will help you easily determine the allowed model sizes
Particular attention should be paid to the workplace and recreation area. The bed can be selected as a standard single
Or you can replace it with a stylized model with a beautiful canopy. If there is a niche in the room, then it is recommended to build a wardrobe with a mirror into it.
If the parents decide to choose a free-standing wardrobe, then a small sofa and a bedside table can be placed in a niche. This place is ideal for relaxing, playing games and reading books. A writing or computer desk must be complemented by drawers. Separately, you can hang the shelves for books. Such an organization of the workspace will help the child to easily prepare for the lessons at school. If the area is large, a separate bookcase can be installed. Also, a small dressing table and a designer clothes rack can complement the furnishings in an original way.
If two people live in a room
A children's room for two students is equipped either in the same way as for one, but with a doubling of some objects (bed, desk, bedside table), or taking into account the interests of each, if the characters of the children differ significantly from each other.
In any case, space saving skills will be needed. Two-story furniture will come to the rescue.
The second option will take up less space due to the compact arrangement of tables and will help to avoid disagreements between children, because everyone will have their own territory and will be able to equip it as they wish.
Sometimes parents take a bold step and succumb to the persuasion of children to visually divide the room into two halves. This means that in one half there will be some wallpapers and decorative trifles, and in the second there will be others. You can do that.
But a simpler option is simple wallpaper in a neutral color and giving kids the freedom to be creative.
To get inspired by ideas, you can find on the Internet photos of children's rooms for schoolchildren, but we must not forget about the importance of the opinion of the child himself. Better than himself, no designer will take into account all the wishes and little things.
Redevelopment techniques
Even the most thoughtful room design becomes obsolete over time, not in line with the interests of a grown girl. We have to re-plan the premises taking into account new needs. Parents and experienced designers offer several redevelopment options for nurseries.
Glass partitions
Glass partitions help to carry out zoning in the most convenient way.They allow light to pass through, so highlighted areas won't end up in a dark corner without natural light. When planning partitions, blinds can be provided to make them opaque, if necessary. This technique is relevant if the girls live in a room together.
Cabinet on the loggia
The children's room is easy to build up due to the loggia, which is attached, turning it into a study room. Even narrow balconies included in the total area make the room larger, brighter and more comfortable. They turn into a study, where the girl teaches her lessons, is engaged in creativity.
Stained glass partitions
If the room is large enough, you can divide it with a stained glass partition. Frosted glass allows light to pass through, but separates areas better than clear glass. Exquisite stained-glass windows decorate the room, the room becomes chic and unusual.
Writing desk in the window opening
The functional use of the window sill, turning it into a study table, saves space in the little girl's room. This is an original opportunity to use the partition walls near the window for lockers, as well as natural lighting of the desktop throughout the day.
Openwork screen
It is easy to hide an imperfectly made bed behind an openwork screen and hide yourself. Screens are the easiest and cheapest way to zone a room. Girls love such items, they remind of ladies' boudoirs, visits of gentlemen. The openwork material gives the screen lightness, does not overload the room, creates comfort and pleasant intimacy.
Miniature coffee table
A small coffee table turns the girl's room into a comfortable place to meet with girlfriends, where it is pleasant to chat, discuss the latest news. If necessary, the table is used for storing crafts, magazines, pushed against the wall or placed in the center of the room.
Massive framed mirror
A large mirror transforms the room, expands the space. A beautiful frame complements the decor, giving the room chic and solidity.
In the nursery, a mirror is necessary for a girl. It teaches you to keep your posture, always follow a beautiful pose, try to look graceful.
Children's design for a girl - how to equip a cozy and comfortable room
It is worth starting with the interior design. You should choose the main color of the room. In this case, the finishing method does not matter. Whether it's painting or wallpapering the walls, the color must be right. From this parameter, the whole concept of arranging a nursery will be built.
Pink shades for girls, and blue for boys have already become traditional, but generally accepted norms are not binding. And it will not be possible to give a special individuality to the room.
The room can be decorated with any pastel colors. You need to buy wallpaper with drawings, characters of your favorite fairy tales. Such a nursery design is appropriate if the children living in the room are about the same age. Older children and a baby in the same room will not feel comfortable. It is better for the baby to live with his parents for a while.
The choice of furniture has its own characteristics. She must meet the needs of the child and be beautiful and original. For schoolchildren, you will have to equip a play and work area, picking up the necessary elements. Preschoolers usually spend a lot of time playing, so furniture should also participate in them. An ordinary closet can easily be turned into a real fortress, equipped with ladders and headquarters above. The physical development of the child should be carried out constantly, but safety must never be forgotten.
Schoolchildren do not need to equip a separate room, but create zones for play and study with the help of a partition. The workplace should be located near the window. You cannot do without a large writing desk, which can simultaneously function as a computer desk. A shelf or bookcase is also needed.
A comfortable sleeping place in the nursery can be stylized to resemble some unusual object, for example, a ship.This is a great workout for the kid's imagination. Although the child is already actively studying, the play area is indispensable. He must learn to be independent, so it becomes the child's responsibility to put things in order after the games. A place where toys will be stored must be equipped. If there are too many of them, then some of them should be stored in another room. It should not be forgotten that, thanks to various games, the child is actively developing, so even a schoolchild needs toys.
Parents need to remember about sports education, only then the personality develops correctly and harmoniously. A sports wall should be installed in the free corner. Such a simple device not only contributes to the physical development of the baby, but also serves as an outlet for the release of accumulated energy, with which parents sometimes do not know what to do. Parents will be able to spend their free time on themselves.
When the children's room is filled with all the necessary furniture and fixtures, it is worthwhile to carefully study the interior again so as not to miss even the smallest nuances. The cheerful lamps installed in the room will enliven the pleasant atmosphere. A few family photos will complement the interior.
