Window decoration in a nursery: basic rules and stylish solutions

When decorating a children's room, there are certain rules that differ from adult standards. In order for the child to feel comfortable and consider the room a personal space, the design created must be appropriate for his age. The same requirements apply to the design of a window in a nursery, and they cannot be ignored.

First step

Proper design involves more than just taking care of appearance; loving parents do not forget to think about safety. To ensure that the window in the nursery does not cause injury, it is assessed according to the following criteria:

  • Availability of a protection system. The window can be secured in different ways: install handles with built-in locks or a locking button (there are also a combination of models), or removable handles. An option could be a flexible limiter or a window swing blocker.

  • Window sill accessibility. A low, wide window sill is stylish, but not in a small child’s room. Trying to climb on it, the baby may get injured.

  • Sealing of the window opening. It is important to protect your child from drafts and street dust.

  • Possibility of ventilation. Fresh air is important for health, so it is highly advisable to equip the window with a ventilation valve that operates automatically. For a plastic window, an automatic slot inlet valve would be a good choice.

  • Safety of cornice design and curtain decor. To avoid emergency situations, it is advisable to choose a plastic cornice and fastenings that are suitable for your walls.

  • Double-glazed safety. To protect the baby from possible fragments (if the glass is broken), a protective film is installed on the window.

Types of cabinets

As noted earlier, cabinets come in a wide variety, and modern methods of producing cabinet furniture make it possible to produce any model, taking into account all the features of the interior.

Closet

Ideal for small apartments, since the doors smoothly move to the side rather than opening wide. This saves free space in the house.

Transformer

A bold and modern solution. Such cabinets are difficult to manufacture, but they offer enormous possibilities for storing things. They can also serve as a folding bed, extendable work desk, etc.

Rack

Great for people who collect books, glossy magazines and all kinds of printed publications. The rack has a lightweight design, so it does not visually clutter the room.

Wardrobe with open shelves

The disadvantage of such a cabinet is access to dust, so wet cleaning is required more often. But such a cabinet looks great in the interior.

Criterias of choice

When decorating a window in a children's room, designers recommend combining aesthetics and practicality, and being guided by the following rules for choosing window drapery:

  • During the daytime, curtains should not prevent sunlight from entering the room. It is better to avoid dense, heavy fabrics - they not only excessively darken the room, but also create additional stress on the cornice.

  • Preferred are high-quality natural fabrics and materials that can withstand frequent washing without losing their appearance and shape, for example, linen, cotton, bamboo.

  • A child is unlikely to appreciate long, voluminous curtains with designer draperies, but you will get tired tidying up these wonderful dust collectors. The trend in recent years has been light, shortened curtains or prefabricated (rolled) varieties.

Select an option

It is not necessary to use panels of fabric to decorate a window. There are many original options, including such exotic ones as ribbons attached to the cornice. Cute tiebacks in the form of funny soft toys or a garland of small LED light bulbs will help diversify the design of classic curtains. The following types of decor will allow you to decorate the window in an interesting, unusual and convenient way for a child:

  • Roman curtains. A stylish and functional option, popular in many countries. Laconic drapery made of linen, silk or bamboo is suitable for a child’s room of any age, both girls and boys.

  • If you don’t know how to decorate a window in a nursery, try to do without curtains. Northern Europeans like these windows and they don't look naked. If the window faces north, or you refuse textiles so as not to collect allergens, the right decor will create the right accents. Vinyl stickers depicting your favorite characters or paper garlands are suitable for decoration; the main thing is that they let in enough light.

  • At a safe height. Another idea that is loved in Europe, America, and Japan. Highly positioned curtains will not become a toy for a growing mischievous child, they will retain their original beauty, and will save parents’ nerves.

  • A composition of curtains can also be asymmetrical, which pleasantly diversifies the interior and helps visually adjust the size of a disproportionate window opening.

When the issue of saving space is acute, you can think about installing a folding table. Its design does not take up much space. Its base is a board that is attached to the wall, and support posts that move and move apart when the tabletop is tilted away from the wall. When assembled, children's furniture by the window looks like a narrow panel. When it opens, a compact workspace appears.

Style, color and age of the child

It is important to understand that the design of a window in a children's room, the design of which is made taking into account the age of the child, remains relevant only for a while. Each age has certain preferences: children like cartoon characters, but younger schoolchildren become indifferent to them. When choosing, take into account the following factors:

  • Size and color scheme of the room. A compromise could be the choice of curtains in warm, but not too bright shades in the style of the room.
  • Color of furniture and other textiles.

  • Practicality: fabric consumption, possibility of frequent washing, expected use period.

The easiest way is to choose curtains that are similar in color to the walls, ceiling or furniture upholstery. This is a win-win option for creating a harmonious nursery interior. Girls and boys have distinct color preferences. Based on them, it is customary to choose the following color and print options:

  • For a little girl. Fabrics in delicate shades are suitable, not necessarily pink. You can't do without images of fairies, princesses, butterflies and unicorns. Fabrics with small polka dots, floral prints, or a combination of both look charming.


Classics of the genre Source opora-stroy.ru

  • For a little boy. Fabrics with images of cars, airplanes, fairy-tale characters, or plain, but always light. Stripes, checks or abstraction will do.

  • Junior schoolchildren. Boys remain faithful to pirates, spaceships and cowboys, girls - to kittens, lace and teddy bears. Both of them like prints with images of animals and plants. A good option is fabrics with educational patterns in the form of letters and numbers.

  • Teenagers. Everything is individual here; The easiest way is to ask the owner of the room what color he (she) likes, and try not to be surprised by the answer.

Children's area for boys

Boys are usually not very picky about the choice of curtains, at least until adolescence, but they will not tolerate pink colors and ruffles in their room.

  • Main preferences in the subject: Games, cartoon characters, nautical style, all kinds of cars or weapons.
  • You can combine: Light tulle without a pattern with the blue-yellow color of the curtains.
  • Or order curtains with a 3D pattern that the boy will suggest. I really like this idea, because the guys love it when their opinion is taken into account.


Nowadays, a Soviet-era motif is returning to fashion: mesh tulle - perfect for the theme of travel and nautical style in combination with rich blue, beige or golden shades of fabric.

If there is more than one window

The most common design option for a children's room is a window located in the middle. Two windows in a children's room are a definite plus, although they require a lot of effort for decoration. Openings can be located both on one and on adjacent walls and are played out in different ways.

If the windows on the same wall are close enough to each other, they are draped as a single unit. If the partition between the openings is wide, the windows are decorated separately, but the same textiles are still selected, even if the room is divided into zones. In the corner version, the openings are designed separately.

In order not to burden the interior, preference is given to transparent and/or light fabrics in light shades. You can decorate each window separately (for example, with patterned tulle), and then combine them into a whole composition with a lambrequin.

It is convenient to use roller blinds for decoration. Whatever option you choose, the main thing is to maintain symmetry. If the attic is allocated for the children's room, blinds, roller blinds and pleated windows are used for windows with an angle of inclination.

Pitfalls - what nuances are hidden in an interior with a built-in wardrobe near the window?

The disadvantage is that visually a room with a closet around the window appears smaller. This is due to the fact that several square meters are allocated directly for furniture, which occupies the entire wall. This solution is not suitable for rooms where the entrance is located next to the window, since the cabinet will block the passage.

Installing such a cabinet is a labor-intensive and time-consuming task. It is necessary to take accurate measurements and correctly secure each structural element, which will help avoid the appearance of backlashes and other shortcomings.

Briefly about the main thing

In native lands, the bed is rarely placed with the head of the room facing the window, although in world practice this is a very common planning technique. The owners are opposed to this idea for various reasons. Many people are embarrassed by drafts, heating radiators, bright light in the morning and difficult access to the window.

Meanwhile, such placement has many advantages. It allows you to stylishly decorate a bedroom with a high and low window, get rid of bedside tables and come up with an original design for the headboard. In case of an inconvenient layout, a bed by the window will be the only possible solution that preserves the maximum usable area.

Place to rest

A stylish place to relax.

When a beautiful view opens from the window, it’s simply a sin not to make a place for relaxation and contemplation on the windowsill. Let a calm color scheme prevail here, be sure to equip the seat with a soft one, do not forget to decorate the place with several decorative pillows, and place a blanket nearby. Such an interior composition will please the eye and fill the room with a special atmosphere. In addition, after a busy day at work, you can always relax and get aesthetic pleasure.

Photo of placement in the kitchen

In kitchen design, quite often there are a huge variety of original ideas for framing the area around the window. Here they use products that are not too bulky, more distinguished by their aesthetic function, and the window sill is often transformed into a tabletop, dining or work table.

The photo shows cupboards placed around the window opening in the dining room interior.

The kitchen space is also complemented with various shelving or small models with glass doors. In the dining room, buffets or china cabinets are installed along the edges of the window, giving the decor a traditional touch and creating a cozy homely atmosphere.

Micro-ventilation

Some brands of fittings, for example Roto or Zigenia Aubi, provide micro-ventilation in the swing-out doors. When the handle is set to the 45 degree position, a gap is formed, approximately 1-2 mm wide, through which air penetrates, and the room is well ventilated.

And, when you go for a walk with your baby, you will come to a fresh and ventilated room. Micro-ventilation often successfully replaces a comb. When purchasing a window, ask if the fittings you use have such capabilities; such a function is not expensive at all, about three hundred rubles.
