DIY children's room renovation: what to pay special attention to
When planning a room where children will live, you need to start with choosing a room. First of all, you should take into account the size and lighting. Experts advise giving preference to the south and west sides.
If possible, give your child a larger room, and at a sufficient distance from the living room and kitchen, especially if the child is still small.
- When renovating, pay special attention to lighting. It is preferable to choose an overhead spotlight and provide night lighting, as well as plan lighting for the desktop and areas that are especially important for your child. This could be a play area, a wall with drawings or completed puzzles, a shelf with a collection of your favorite toys. Do not forget to take into account the strain on your eyesight: the lighting should be soft and uniform.
- When choosing materials for renovating a children's room, give preference to non-flammable and environmentally friendly ones. Laminate or parquet boards are perfect for flooring; they are quite easy to clean. It is better to place a carpet or other fabric coverings in some area, for example, a play area, rather than spread it across the entire width of the room.
- If the children are small, then take care in advance of an insulated flooring option - linoleum or laminate. For older people, choose short or medium pile carpet to avoid dust.
- For walls, purchase special children's wallpaper at the construction market. They have a wide range of colors and a wide variety of patterns, even educational ones. The child will be happy with his favorite cartoon or movie characters. It is better to glue wallpaper in two tiers: one pattern at the bottom for a third of the wall height, another pattern for the rest. To transition, stick a border of a suitable color.
- Painted walls would be a good option. This surface gives the child many opportunities for development. You can paint the painted wall yourself according to your child’s wishes. Use an alkyd or acrylate composition; it quickly loses odor and is easy to clean.
- Make a ceiling in the form of a starry sky as a child. You can purchase wallpaper with a special pattern or paint and paint the surface yourself.
The optimal color solution for a children's room would be the following: the walls, floor and ceiling should be in lighter colors, and the furniture should be in dark colors.
Cardboard as a material for furniture
Children's furniture made of cardboard can be quite durable and functional. Of course, caring for it will be a little different. In particular, such products will be afraid of moisture.
Modular sofa or ottoman in the shape of a cube. The principle of their manufacture is the same, only the sofa elements will have backs. To work, you will need boxed cardboard with a corrugated insert inside.
Boxes are needed for a large area from large household appliances or furniture. You will also need upholstery fabric, foam rubber, PVA glue, a furniture stapler, a stationery knife, and a ruler.
First, on a piece of whatman paper you need to draw a template in the shape of a square for the child’s height and attach to it a vertical rectangle also for the child’s height. This is the back. The whole pattern will look like an inverted letter H. For the ottoman you need a pattern in the shape of a square.
Cut out a template and use it to cut out approximately 50 identical pieces from cardboard. You also need to cut about 100 strips, equal in height to the entire future module, and in width to the back or slightly narrower than it. 200 strips need to be cut according to the height of the seat. Glue the strips in pairs. These will be spacers between the workpieces.
First, you need to glue gaskets to the first blank: a long one in the back area, and a short one where the seat is, one closer to the middle, the other to the edge. Glue the second piece to the spacers, aligning it with the first. Glue the spacers to the second blank again, then the third blank.
And repeat this until the last piece is glued. Each time you need to check that the workpieces do not move out. At the end of this stage, you will already have a chair frame, which needs to be placed to dry the glue for about a day.
Cover the frame with whatman paper on all sides and dry again. Cover the seat, back and top of the back with foam rubber and dry.
While the glue dries, you need to sew the cover on the chair so that it fits from top to bottom. Put it on and secure it from below with a furniture stapler. The module is ready.

By making two or more modules, you can give your child creative freedom and allow you to arrange them in any order: in the shape of a sofa, as separate armchairs, in a semicircle, etc.
Children's playroom
Any children's room is, first of all, a playroom. All its other components are very subjective.
Children's games, calm or active, educational or active, require enough space. You can set aside either the entire room for them, or only a certain part of it, zoning it in some special way (painting the walls in this place in a different color from others, separating it with a partition, or putting a certain covering on the floor at its location).
But, having decided to combine zones, you should remember that in a children's playroom the following must be complied with: a recreation area, a play area, a work area and a dressing area.
Experts do not recommend combining a sleep (rest) area and a play area, because it will be difficult for the child to switch from games to sleep.
The play area, if there is no space in the room, can simply be a drawing board (sometimes covering the entire wall), or a rope ladder with rungs.
If there is enough space in the children's playroom, then you can also find a great variety of design ideas for its arrangement.
Thick foam
Do-it-yourself children's play furniture made from 30-density foam rubber will not only be comfortable, but also light. The child will be able to use it for its intended purpose, rebuild it for playing bus or plane, or place it in a playhouse at the dacha.
A modular sofa made from foam rubber is even easier to make than from cardboard. You will need to cut only 5 blanks in the shape of the letter L, in which the seat is slightly thicker than the back. Glue the pieces together with PVA glue.
Place batting or felt on the seat, back and top of the back so that the child does not feel the joints. All that remains is to upholster the chair with plush or other thick soft fabric.
You can give your child a sofa, for which you will have to glue 10-15 blanks, and a couple of armchairs. Such upholstered furniture for a nursery will decorate not only the room, but also any playhouse or loft bed.

Plywood furniture
From thick plywood you can make almost any piece of furniture for a child, from a table to a loft bed. You need thick plywood, 1.5 cm or thicker.

So, for example, for a loft bed it is necessary to draw and cut out the entire side parts, without seams. In one of them, cut rectangular holes-steps with rounded corners. The back and front walls of the bed are rectangles, the corners of which are also rounded.
The bottom of the bed is a rectangle of the same width as the front and back walls, and the length corresponds to the height of the child. You also need to drill or cut holes in the bottom to ensure ventilation of the mattress.
Connect the bed parts using self-tapping screws, the heads of which should be flush with the surface or recessed into it. Position the bottom so that there are sides on the sides.
The bed can be painted or varnished. Place a mattress on the bottom and you can provide it to the child. The play area, or attic as they used to call it, will be located below the bottom, which is why steps are needed to climb up to the sleeping place.
Children's room for a boy
Color solutions in the design of a children's room for a boy can be different. Of course, a poisonous pink color will not work, but blue, cyan, green, brown and even red will be quite appropriate.
When choosing a color scheme, you should also take into account the influence of color on the child’s well-being. If you are equipping a nursery for a baby, then it is better not to choose bright, irritating colors.
It is best to choose pleasant pastel shades. For example, blue will help calm and relax the child, and will also create a cozy atmosphere (unless, of course, you go too far). For hyperactive children, the same principle applies to the choice of colors as for infants - calm, non-flashy tones.
You can decorate a child’s room for a boy in a marine, animal or space style. You can often find the theme of the Wild West, sports, automobile themes and around the world travel. You can create a unique interior for a children’s room based on various cartoons and fairy tales, decorating the walls with images of your child’s favorite characters.
When it comes to furniture for a boy’s room, it is worth adhering to the principle: “Less is better.” That is, the more free space for a child’s play space, the better.
The boy does not need various design delights, he needs functionality. The only furniture you will need is a sofa, which can be pulled apart during nighttime sleep, turning it into a comfortable sleeping place for relaxation, a desk with shelves above it, a chair and a wardrobe for clothes, preferably a built-in wardrobe.
A children's sports corner is a must for a boy's room. After all, he really needs to splash out the accumulated energy somewhere, and besides, this will help him get good physical development and improve his health.
Nowadays it is not a problem to purchase all the necessary furniture for a nursery in the form of a ready-made set or to make it to order. Then it will be completely consistent in the same style.
Pallets
Pallets are wooden boxes or pallets with low sides that are used to transport furniture or other goods. They have long been adapted for garden furniture.
You can also make children's furniture for playing with your own hands. Just before giving the pallets to your child, you need to make sure that they are perfectly smooth and will not leave splinters on his palms.

Children's modular rooms
The interior design of a children's room should be changeable: as the child grows, his room should also “grow.” Most families do not have the strength, time, or funds to carry out a complete change of the nursery’s decor every 4-5 years, changing everything from the color of the wallpaper to the shape and method of arranging the furniture.
Solution: buy strong and presentable modular furniture, which even after 10 years will not deteriorate and your child will not get tired of it.

By the way, in this case, you can contact the designer. Designer children's rooms are not only designed to completely “revolutionize” the room, but can also be made in a more rational form - modular.
Children grow up quickly, their personal space has to be transformed every 4-5 years. Interests and needs change, furniture does not have time to “grow” with the child, even if it is a folding sofa. Buying furniture for children and teenagers is a significant expense for the family every time.

A good option is to buy “for growth” modular furniture that can be transformed. It is very convenient when a children's sofa is comfortable for sleeping even without a foldout, and then it can be easily extended with a full or partial foldout. Many sets of children's furniture are produced taking into account rearrangement and partial transformation. Also offered are sofas that fold out into 2 floors and bunk beds, which are convenient for families with two or more children.
