Example of a two-row furniture arrangement scheme

• In a narrow or long nursery, it is not recommended to put furniture in one solid row, it is better to divide it, for example, a mirror or a gaming zone.
• If two children live in the room, and even more so the boy and the girl, then the "their territory" is better to zonate something (rack, partition, curtain, bedside table, etc.).

However, if the width of the room allows you to choose both a P-shaped or double-row layout.

• Save the place will help corner wrappers and bookcases, as well as open shelves.

• Also keep in mind that wardrobes seem smaller if they do not have a complex decor, coincide with the color with the wall or painted in white or any neutral shade.

Tip 5. Soft and uniform lighting - the deposit of comfort

When planning the design of a narrow children's, one should not be limited to one central ceiling chandelier - it will create a sharp shadow and this will reduce the space. In order to visually expand it, you need to create light sources as uniformly. For example, it may be inconspicuous to the entire ceiling perimeter and / or local lamps in different places - on the chest, above the cabinet, on the table, above the bed, etc. Then lighting will be soft, scattered and cozy.

• The lamps themselves should not be bulky and too elegant.

Tip 6. Cross strips - the secret of "expansion" of a narrow room

Wallpaper, curtains, floors, laid by "boards" across, and not along the room, create an optical illusion of space expansion. Do not underestimate this old designer technique, because it really affects the overall perception of the interior.

• As for the decor, in a narrow room with it it is better not to overdo it, but since it is still talking about the design of the children's room, then it is not necessary to do without decorators. You can hang the garland from flags or pumps (it is better as across the room as in the previous photo of the photo) and hang several pictures - it will be quite enough, because the abundance of bright toys, books and other things will help you to dilute the calm interior.




• Finally, we share with you a beautiful idea how you can make a child's space more interesting, without taking a single excess centimeter - just walk on the door or fragment of the wall chalk wallpaper as shown in the photo.
