The Design process
March 13, 2018Parents prioritize numerous aspects when raising children, and among the most vital is fostering their growth through engaging activities. Children inherently possess boundless energy, engaging in activities such as running, jumping, and climbing, yet the constraints of modern lifestyles often impede regular outings Consequently, it becomes imperative to create opportunities for children to unwind and recharge within the home environment. The strategic planning and design of children's rooms offer a promising avenue to reconcile these contrasting needs.
Understanding your children's interests serves as a cornerstone for this endeavour, providing invaluable insight into tailoring their room to cater to their passions and needs
I have put together a few ideas to assist you in this process:
- Colour Psychology: The colours in your child's room can profoundly influence their mood and behaviour. Check this article explaining the psychological impact of colours on children can aid in your decision-making process. Additionally, consider embellishing the walls with visually stimulating motifs such as a world map, alphabet letters, depictions of animals, or celestial bodies, all of which can ignite your child's curiosity and interests.
- Encouraging Creativity: Foster your child's creativity by incorporating interactive elements like a chalkboard or a large roll of paper positioned at an accessible height, enabling them to freely express themselves through drawing and doodling.
- Physical Activity: Cultivate your child's physical energy by devising a mini circuit using the bed, a hanging net, or suspended ropes for climbing and swinging. These installations not only promote physical exercise but also stimulate imaginative play.
- Promoting Reading Habits:
This is my favourite! Establishing a cozy reading nook with a sofa, cushions, and a lot of light; where you and your child can unwind and delve into captivating stories is an effective strategy to instil a love for reading from an early age.
- Organizational Solutions: Instilling a sense of orderliness can be achieved through the strategic use of storage solutions such as racks with labelled cups for pens and designated containers for toys, reinforcing the importance of tidiness and organization.
With all these tips, we can create a little adventure world for your children in their own room, where they can learn and play.
Tip
Be aware when using bunk beds to make sure the second bed is high enough for a parent to sit comfortably on the bottom and the ceiling to be high enough for the child to be able to stand on the bed, the feeling of a low ceiling can make children feel claustrophobic or feel uncomfortable when they see their parents cannot sit on the bed comfortably. Bunk beds can be good for space, but you should be careful when choosing them.
