About designing for children. Interior with Wood Happiness furniture

03 of March '21

How does designing furniture and interiors dedicated to children differ from designing for everyone? In addition to the safety and appropriate atmosphere of the little one's room, the choice of furniture is also extremely important. Wood Happiness relies on natural wood and beautiful colors.

The magic of

The space of a child's room, is more than four walls. Here fashionable minimalism often recedes into the background, giving place to colors and textures. Particularly in the era of pandemics, when the time spent at home is further aggravated, it is worth taking a look at how a child's room can be arranged. Like us, every child is different, but during the period of development, it is important to have a sense of space for passions, interests, multiplying possibilities. A child's room is a refuge, a playground, a reading room, a studio. The space in which a little person is formed can have a huge impact on his development. That's why designers specializing in the creation of interiors and furniture for children pay attention to more than aesthetics and customer taste. Here warm colors, varied textures, pleasant lighting, fancy shapes come into play. All these elements, however, do not exclude that such a room can be elegant and modern and conducive to growing up.

breaking stereotypes

Modern designers leave the old schemes far behind. Pink color for a girl, and blue for a boy? Not the way to go. Fortunately, with the help of architects finally came the research of scientists, which proves the true impact of colors on mood. It turns out that interiors dominated by one color, or too multicolored have a bad effect on the well-being of children and adolescents. Adults turn out to be more resistant to the influence. The best solution is to combine two dominant colors with additional accents. The colors should be subdued.

light and safety

Another extremely important issue is maintaining a safe space. Architects not only choose colors suitable for children, but must keep in mind the type of paints - hypoallergenic, preferably those that can be cleaned, safe wallpaper adhesives. Furniture for young children should be free of sharp and hard edges, or small - easily falling off knobs, possible to swallow. Another "safety" system is for parents. Manufacturers of furniture and interior solutions for children are outdoing themselves in dirt-resistant paints, varnishes, wallpapers.

The well-being is also influenced by lighting of the right warm color, which, in addition to the top lamp, it is important that it is also located lower - at the level of the child, illuminating the various parts of the interior. The desk lamp and wall lamps not only provide ambience, but help divide the space into a "play" and "night" area.

This home was filled with furniture - beautifully designed, sturdy lockers - where all the treasures of their childhood were stored.
