How to prepare a room for a student - designer tips

School time is approaching, which means that it's time to prepare not only the child for school, but also to create comfortable, convenient and stimulating learning conditions for him. We asked practicing interior designers what to look for when preparing a nursery for the start of the school year.

Zoning

Designer Natasha Martynova recommends creating a separate study room so that the child is not distracted by toys and develops a learning habit. Here it is necessary to provide in the student's room, firstly, a comfortable workplace with a chair, a book rack and a bed - this is a classic combination of furniture, completely subordinated to the needs of the child.

The choice of furniture. Workplace

Of course, the most important issue when decorating a room for a student is the arrangement of a comfortable workplace. Designer Elena Tikhonova recommends not just tables, but desks that change the angle and height, as well as a training chair with an anatomical back.

When choosing a table, pay attention to its height and the height of the child. Be sure to take it with you to the store and carry out the so-called "fitting". The table is suitable for the child if the edge is at the level of the sitting child's chest and the legs are at right angles. The optimum depth of the working surface should be at least 60-80 centimeters, and the width should be 120-160 centimeters.

The designer advises the chair to choose anatomical, repeating the silhouette of the child's back, and growing with the child until high school. Choosing the right furniture will help you avoid common ailments such as stoop, scoliosis and poor vision.

Speaking of materials, interior designer Yevgenia Topilskaya and also a mother of four children, when buying children's furniture, recommends paying attention to the product certificate - it must comply with GOST for the manufacture of children's furniture. Often, cheap plastic or impregnated furniture is unsafe for children because of the fumes of harmful substances. Evgenia considers natural wood to be the best material for a nursery.

It is also important to provide sufficient storage around the study area so that all textbooks and exercise books are within reach of the child. So you can teach him to order.

Lighting

According to Elena Tikhonova, natural light is very important in the working area. The designer reminds that if the child is right-handed, the desk should be placed on the right wall from the window. However, a table lamp is indispensable here. When choosing it, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the light covers the entire work surface, whether it "presses" too much on the eyes and whether it stands steadily on the table.

Evgeniya Topilskaya reminds that it is also important to choose the right light bulb in the lamp. For example, with a warmer yellowish light, the eyes get tired quickly. A lamp with a cold color (over 4000 K) will be too harsh. Therefore, it is better to choose lamps of warm white light (LTB) - as close as possible to natural light. By the way, if the lamp works all day, it will heat up. Therefore, give up halogen and incandescent bulbs.

Colour

Designer Natasha Martynova assures that the color that makes you focus is green. It is no coincidence that the offices of managers and libraries are made in brown and green colors. However, the designer, of course, does not recommend creating the entire interior in green. Better to make color accents on walls, furniture or textiles on windows.

Elena Tikhonova does not recommend using too bright and variegated shades that can distract the child around the schoolchild's working area.In addition to green, Elena also calls blue and yellow ideal colors for decorating a schoolchild's interior.

Useful details

Elena Tikhonova recommends that parents think about how necessary a TV and a computer are in the children's room. Despite the fact that most teachers now give computer homework, it is worth considering how to restrict the child from playing video games and aimlessly spending time on the Internet.

In this case, the programs Kaspersky Internet Security, ESET NOD32 Smart Security Family and others will help, which allow you to selectively block access to certain sites and applications. By the way, this will be useful not only for schoolchildren, but also for their parents who cannot resist social networks, entertainment and news sites ...

And special organizers, which can be created using magnetic or slate paint, cork boards or fabric, will become an excellent assistant to the child in matters of adherence to the daily routine. There you can both write down homework, make reminders, and store important notes, for example, on magnets.

Most importantly, if you are starting a renovation in the nursery, involve your children in this too! So they can bring a piece of creativity.
