The furniture of a small bedroom must be practical and functional in order to optimize the available space. The proposed solutions are based on a thought, that of being able to integrate more functions in the same space and often in the same object.
The need to be thrifty in the use of space often gives rise to captivating results for the eye, which is pleased with unexpected geometries and unexpected joints. The goal is to grasp the essence of the activities of the little ones to understand how to meet their needs, making up for the small size of modern urban apartments.
The starting point for furnishing a small bedroom is to identify a ” focal point “, that is a center around which each element acquires a visual sense, which will make the whole of furniture and furnishings harmonious. You can concentrate on the head of the bed or on the window, points in the room that often attract attention.
When designing the furniture of the small bedroom it is possible to put them in line in such a way as to increase their positive interaction. Or you can decide to overshadow one of the two to enhance the other.
The overall effect of the small furnished bedroom must arouse a feeling of harmony and serenity. In fact, the bedroom for children and teenagers is a place for play, study and rest. The furniture, shapes and colors that are chosen respond to the need for functionality, but also to that of creating a welcoming and cheerful place . How to furnish a small children’s room
The advantage of furnishing a small children’s room is that the children themselves are small and require objects suitable for their height to be used. If you are waiting for the arrival of your first child, you can choose an original and smaller cradle, suitable for saving space.
A suspended cradle guarantees minimum space and helps the little one to rest better, because it rocks and springs a little, simulating the cuddles of the mother.
Children’s beds are small in size depending on the age group they are targeting. There are very particular solutions for larger families in which two, three or four beds are inserted in a wardrobe structure equipped with reading lamps.
An important aspect for the little ones is color and representation. A small children’s bedroom must be decorated with pastel colors and depictions of plants, flowers, animals, imaginary characters that favor play and imagination.
The area dedicated to children’s games can be lofted in such a way as to leave space for the bed in the area below. This is a solution to be adopted when children are already older and know how to manage themselves relatively independently. However, panels are available to ensure maximum safety even for the smallest children. How to furnish a small bedroom for boys
Children grow up fast and soon grow tall like mom and dad. There are many solutions to effectively furnish a small bedroom for boys. The style of furniture for teenagers is more sober because it already projects to adulthood. The space for books and the desk cannot be missing: the age of the children is the one in which the study becomes harder and becomes an important presence in their daily life.
In a small bedroom for boys, the most classic solution to save space is that of bunk beds , which leave free space for wardrobes and desks. An alternative is that of bridge beds, so the wardrobe has an arched space, so to speak, where the slatted base and the mattress are inserted. In some cases it is possible to provide for the insertion of two bunk beds, one of which is pulled out only when it is actually used.
Examples of integration of the functions are the beds inserted above a chest of drawers able to meet the need to put away objects and clothing without creating an excessive bulk. Suspended or mezzanine beds allow you to insert a desk and possibly a sofa underneath, so as to create a space for reading and studying and an area dedicated to tranquility.
There are structures in which the beds are arranged at an angle and partially overlapping so as to be integrated with wardrobes and desks. The space adjacent to two side walls is thus exploited to the fullest.
Rollaway beds hinged to the walls are a good solution to have free space during the day, when the beds are not generally used.
The niches can be used to make shoe racks or a real wardrobe with shelves and clothes rails. Even a compartment under the window can easily replace the classic drawer unit. These are also interesting solutions visually because they allow you to decide whether to create a creative cover or leave the objects you want to store in view.
To obtain a bedside table without the clutter of the classic bedside table, it is possible to use a corner shelf , which is also suitable for bunk beds or integrated with drawers and wardrobes. The headboards of the beds can be replaced by drawings with nice representations or by illustrated panels. How to take advantage of a small bedroom
