Stylish and multifunctional nursery for two boys is a special place for kids. Ideally, the room should be equipped in such a way that it meets all the hobbies of children.
When choosing the design of a children's room for two boys, you should first of all focus on their age. If for kids it can be equipped according to your own preferences, then for older boys it is better to listen to their wishes. However, you do not need to completely trust the process of organizing space to children. It is necessary to build on not only stylistic preferences, but also take into account the financial component, the safety of materials and furniture.
Further in the article, several design options for a nursery for two boys will be considered in accordance with their age.
Two kids in one room: space zoning
The main task of designing a children's room for boys is the zoning of a separate and joint space for each child.
ForFor small children, parents decide on their own which zones are required in the future children's room. Usually there are two main ones: bedroom and playroom.
With a small difference in age, up to three years, it is appropriate to create common areas. The sleeping area, separated for each baby by a screen or a rack, will provide an opportunity for children to sleep in seclusion, while not interfering with each other. And the play area can be equipped with a common, convenient for spending time together.
In the sleeping area, it is enough to place beds and personal chests of drawers for personal belongings and clothes. In chests of drawers, things are easier to classify and find. It is convenient to stick stickers with an inscription or interesting images of socks, panties, T-shirts on the boxes - so the baby will quickly learn how to properly fold his own things. It is undesirable to install bunk beds in the nursery if both babies are under 6 years old. With a lack of space, roll-out beds will come to the rescue when one is pulled out from under the second.
For the play area, it is better to allocate more places, place them by the window, where the most sunlight enters. The most necessary thing in the children's room is an unhindered place for children to play outdoor games. Carpeting is a practical solution, it is possible to tumble, sit and lie down on it. In addition to the joint rack, you can provide personal shelves or drawers - everyone has their favorite toys or books. This also needs to be considered.
A nursery for two boys should have complexes with sportsequipment, bungee, horizontal bar and others.
Stylistic decision
A baby room can be designed to suit a specific stylistic decision. You can choose one of the proposed design options for a nursery for two boys:
- Marine theme (ships, pirates).
- With cartoon characters or objects (robots or cars).
- Forest or jungle.
- Space theme.
If you follow a particular style, a nursery for two boys (photo solutions are in the article) will look very interesting. Instead of object design, it is permissible to decorate a room in monochrome or polychrome shades, it is better to choose several colors. It is better if the colors are pastel shades (except lilac and pink), or pure tones in combination with neutrals and brights. Designing a girl's room in shades of pink is already considered a classic, so boys are unlikely to want to have any hint of pink in their room.
Neutral shades include: white, sand, light gray. Pure bright colors include: green, blue, red, yellow. Soft ones include: any bright shade in combination with gray.
Of course, for the sleeping area it is better to choose soft and neutral shades - sand, green, gray-blue. What color to decorate the playing area depends on the nature of the boys. If they are overly active, you should not choose (or minimize) red and bright orange tones. If the boyshave a calm character - you can safely use bright juicy colors.
Features of the design of the floor, walls and windows
Any parent wants to give their children the freedom to express themselves creatively and are not afraid of painted walls. There are several ways to solve such a problem without compromising a fresh repair.
- Paste the wall of the nursery for two boys in the play area with special wallpaper that is designed for drawing. If desired, this can be arranged in the form of panels of the required height. Children will draw on them. If necessary, they can be easily changed to new wallpapers. And when the boys grow up a little, they will need redevelopment, fresh repairs, then you can decorate the walls in a different, more modern style. The only thing you need to agree with the children in advance is that you can only draw on these walls, so as not to find drawings near the bed, in the kitchen and other places not intended for children's creativity.
- For free self-expression and development of children's creative abilities, you can use special boards for drawing with chalk. This will make the kids happy too. You can purchase boards for drawing with markers or felt-tip pens.
- It is also a great option to paint a wall or part of a wall with slate paint. You can also draw on the wall with crayons. From below, it is necessary to provide a structure into which the chalk will crumble when drawing.
Flooring is better to choose washable - good linoleum, laminate, parquet. When choosingcarpeting, you need to pay attention to the substrate - it should not smell unpleasant, and you should also choose a good quality vacuum cleaner. The window can be decorated with light curtains of the appropriate style; you should not choose bulky curtains that will make the interior heavier and collect a lot of dust. Roman blinds or blinds are perfect.
Security Issues
All materials used must comply with safety standards. A children's room for two boys of different ages will ideally accommodate natural wood furniture, flooring - parquet. For walls, it is better to choose wallpaper paper or for painting with non-toxic colors, cork materials.
When furnishing a room for two active children, you need to carefully approach the selection and installation of furniture. Children's furniture for two boys should not have pointed corners, protruding fittings. They can cause injury which should be avoided. Racks and shelves must be fixed thoroughly: there is a risk that the boys will want to use them for other purposes. It is necessary to provide soft pads in the sports complex.
Children's room for two schoolboys. Space zoning
For two boys, the nursery should have a work area for doing lessons and creative activities. And also for them you will need to arrange personal zones for each. The boys will spend part of their free time together, butfor lessons and any hobbies, you will want a separate specially equipped place. The sleeping area, with a lack of space, can be made joint, but it will still be more convenient and fairer to make separate ones. Next, two types of zoning the space of a children's room for two schoolboys will be considered - optimal and compromise.
Optimal zoning:
- Separate sleeping areas.
- Separate work areas.
- Shared seating area.
Zoning when there is not enough space:
- Shared sleeping area.
- Separate work areas.
- Shared seating area.
With each layout, one should not forget about sports complexes, it would be optimal to place them in a joint zone.
The design of the sleeping area, especially the choice of the type of bed, is determined by the lack of space, since, in fact, it is easiest to save space on the sleeping area. The room must contain at least two wardrobes and a bed. The bed should be chosen in accordance with the chosen stylistic decision, it is good if this frees up extra space.
Layout options
Several layout options for children's room depending on the type of beds, suitable for two boys in school:
- If there is very little space, you can install mezzanine beds - two under the ceiling. They may have screens, which will provide isolation. Mezzanine beds are ideal for decoration in a marine theme, in the style of "jungle" (similar totreehouse), in a space style (you can build large porthole windows instead of the side of the bed). Decorated in an unusual way, they make the room unique. With this decision, there will be enough space to organize a working area and a recreation area.
- Two-level crib, with or without screens, makes it possible to form individual sleeping areas in a small area. In this case, it is advisable to place wardrobes for clothes and personal belongings on both sides of the bed. A working area is being formed by the window, the rest of the territory is a joint area for recreation.
- Another bunk bed alternative. She is placed end to wall, dividing it into zones for two children. At the same time, they make the right blank wall at the first tier, and the left one at the top (or vice versa). With this arrangement of a two-level bed for two boys, the children's room will be divided into two well-secluded personal areas - both sleeping and working. The rest of the territory will be designed as a joint recreation area.
- Transformer beds folding into wardrobe. If the wardrobe beds are placed against the wall, the layout will correspond to the first option. You can arrange such lockers "wall to wall", dividing the room in two, like the third option. At the same time, zoning remains the same.
- For two boys of school age in the children's room, you can use such an unusual type of beds as rolling out from under the podium. During the day, they fold up and free up space. The podium can be arranged near the window - there will be two workplaces. Either atopposite wall, then a seating area is placed on the podium - also a worthy option, giving expanse for design.
- Finally, a simple but very comfortable solution - two ordinary beds. A large nursery can simply be divided in two, and each of the children will independently decide where to install the bed and where to organize the workplace. If the children's room for two boys (photo attached) is spacious enough, there will also be a lot of space for the recreation area. Not very large racks, sports complexes are suitable for highlighting the boundaries of zones. Or you can place a joint recreation area in the middle.
Stylistic design
When arranging the room, the preferences and wishes of the children should be taken into account. Interior design with cartoon characters is no longer suitable for schoolchildren, they will quickly get tired of such design. It is better to choose a children's room design for two boys of this plan:
- Marine theme (ships, pirates).
- Forest or jungle.
- Space theme.
- Sports games.
- Travel.
Unlike a toddler's room, the nursery for schoolboys doesn't use delicate pastel shades. It is allowed to use gray, brown, black along with other colors - if it fits into the chosen style.
Floor and wall decoration
Wallpaper for drawing is no longer relevant, but a board for chalk or felt-tip pens would be appropriate. The slate wall will still be relevant. The floor covering shouldbe anti-slip, strong and easy to clean and wash.
Safety
For two boys, a children's room should contain durable furniture. If it is made on the basis of chipboard, then it must be fixed with wooden beams. The most durable furniture is made of wood or metal. Rounded corners and fittings will save you from unnecessary injuries and wounds during active pastime. All materials and furniture must be safe. Racks and shelves must be firmly fixed to prevent injury.
Features of a nursery for two boys of different ages
If children have a big difference in age, especially if the younger brother is a preschooler, and the older one is already a teenager, it makes sense to divide the space into two zones. Boys of different ages have very different needs, so a common one room will infringe on the interests of children to one degree or another. So that each of them has a secluded place, it is possible to separate two zones in the nursery for two boys with a low closet or shelving. Since the activity of the youngest child cannot be fully controlled, it is necessary to provide closed cabinets or high hanging shelves for storing especially significant, fragile or unsafe things. The big brother zone should be larger.
You can purchase roll-out beds from under the podium. This option is great for saving space during the day when they are collected.
If both brothers are schoolchildren, then a significant age difference will not particularly affect the basic principles of zoning. In the children's room for two different boysage individual sleeping and working areas can be decorated in a variety of stylistic and color schemes.
Conclusion
To equip a nursery for two boys is not an easy task. It is very important that children take an active part in creating their room. Be sure to take them to furniture and construction stores, give them various tasks that are feasible for them. This is the only way you can make an excellent children's room, which will be cozy, beautiful, interesting and safe.
