When it comes to a child's room, parents want to create a safe and comfortable space for their children.
However, not all interior design options may be beneficial or safe.
Designers regularly list the worst decisions in children's rooms that should not be repeated in your own home.
4 Worst Decisions for a Child's Room
1. Excess of decor and toys
Too many decorations and toys in a child's room are not only useless, but also dangerous. Pointy objects and small parts often lead to problems.
Children can inhale, swallow, or step on them. Try not to overload the room with an excessive number of things.
Moreover, children who have too many toys are often whiny, distracted, capricious, and bored.
It is much better if the number of toys and decor is limited, but they are changed more often.
A new picture on the wall and a plush tiger will interest a child much more than mountains of long-boring things.
2. Incorrect arrangement of furniture
The arrangement of furniture in a child's room is of great importance for safety and convenience.
For example, a bed should not be located under a window or near a radiator. Hanging shelves over a bed, desk or play area are unacceptable. If they are still necessary, their fastening should correspond to the expression "nailed down tightly".
Cabinets, pedestals, benches and other furniture that could fall due to a sharp jolt or constant vibration must also be firmly secured.
You may think that the cabinet is secure, but if children regularly run and jump, anything can happen. Who knows, maybe a child will want to hide behind the cabinet, having discovered a gap between it and the wall.
3. Bright colors
For some reason, adults think that children adore colors of poisonous acid shades. Yes, a child reacts to everything bright, but only because it attracts his attention, "hooks", since children actively study this world.
There are a huge number of studies devoted to the influence of color on humans. Bright colors destabilize the psyche due to constant tension, since our ancient instincts react sharply to everything bright. It is the poisonous color of insects that scares off predators.
Painting your walls in toxic colors and buying the same furniture is a bad decision.
It is better to make the interior in neutral tones, and add colors with the help of decor - colored pillows, rugs, panels on the wall. The decor can be changed at any time without much expense, both monetary and physical.
4. Uncomfortable furniture
Furniture that is not appropriate for the child's age and size can lead to unpleasant consequences.
For example, a table that is too high and an uncomfortable chair are a direct path to curvature of the spine, back and neck pain.
When choosing paints and materials for a child's room, you should pay attention to their environmental safety.
Some paints and materials contain toxic substances that can harm a child's health.
