The ideal option for this is a separate children's room, where the baby needs to create all the conditions. But for this, first of all, you need to choose the right furniture for the child. Only then can the desired result be achieved.
Basic requirements
When developing the layout of modern residential buildings, architects, as a rule, take into account the presence of a separate children's room in each apartment. After the appearance of a baby in the family, parents immediately have many problems. One of them is the equipment of his personal room. This is not an easy matter. First you need to understand what kind of furniture for a child should be. After all, he will spend the first years of his life there.

- Functionality. Each item is best used for its intended purpose.
- Convenience. The little man should feel comfortable lying in bed or sitting at the table. Nothing should cause him negative emotions.
- Minimalism. The amount of detail should be appropriate so that anyone can understand how to handle this item.
All this must be taken into account in order for the purchased item to blend harmoniously into the pre-designed interior.
For the little ones
The very first furniture for a child is purchased immediately after his birth. Living space should have only the bare necessities:
- A chest of drawers that will store things, with a convenient arrangement of shelves and compartments.
- Crib. It has a special design, taking into account the operating conditions. Usually, baby beds have a removable side part, so that it is convenient for parents to lay their child down. Often babies do not fall asleep well, so they need to be rocked. For this purpose, the legs of the crib are fixed on special skids or a pendulum mechanism is installed for swinging in the transverse or longitudinal direction.
- Changing table. It should be spacious, and at the same time have a pocket at the bottom for folding things. It can also be used for massages and other hygiene procedures.
- Feeding chair combined withsmall table. This set is needed so that the baby gradually gets used to the adult lifestyle, without disturbing others.

To save free space, you have to go to some tricks. Therefore, in such rooms, for example, combined beds are used for sleeping.
