Designers claim that the style and colors fit perfectly into a child’s room. They even no need to adapt to the gaming environment. For adult children, all the details used in the interior of “adult” rooms are suitable.

A nuance of the nursery for children under three years of age will be the minimal use of black color and cleaning of wooden surfaces. Child's safety comes first!

Otherwise, the room, like other rooms in the house, looks great in light Scandinavian colors. Thematic toys made of natural wood, unobtrusive decor and soft textiles that complement the comfort of the room add a special flavor to the nursery.

The direction is very flexible and can “grow” with your baby. In addition, such an interior is universal - suitable for boys and girls. Therefore, if you like this design, feel free to adopt it and make a beautiful room for your child.

If children of different sexes live in your house, create a single space for them. Children's favorite toys and things fit into the overall decor.

What colors and finishes should I use?

The main color used in Scandinavian interiors is white. The design also involves the use of light, cool shades. Eg:

• pearl gray;
• baby blue;
• ash gray;
• black;
• mint;
• light yellow;
• soft green and others.

It is worth noting that catchy colors are used only for children's rooms. In an “adult” interior, such brightness is not welcome.

For finishing, environmentally friendly, often unprocessed materials are used. Natural wood plays a big role in the interior. It is used as main type of floor design, produce eco-friendly furniture, toys and decorative items. Even ceiling plinths can be made of wood.

The technology of bleached or artificially aged wood is widely used.

The rest of the finishing, as a rule, consists of smoothly plastered and painted walls and ceilings. No synthetic materials are used in the interior. Sweden, Norway, Denmark and other Scandinavian countries, which set the tone for this design trend, do not recognize the “plastic” environment.

Baby cot and other furniture

All furnishings are usually made from natural wood. For kids, this is always a strictly processed material, often bleached.This is important so that the small child does not get hurt. For older children and teenagers, you can use unvarnished wood.

In addition to the bed, bedside tables, laconic wardrobes and a simple desk are used. If an additional chair or a small sofa for mom is needed, it is also made of wood. Upholstery is only natural fabrics: linen, cotton.

Bedside tables and cabinets are as simple as possible, made from rough boards. Whitened or aged wood is also used, which looks great in Scandinavian decor.

Soft lighting

Main condition - there should be a lot of light in the room. The bet is on the light pouring from the window. To do this, during the daytime the curtains are always open as much as possible. Often, if conditions allow, panoramic or large windows are installed.

For evening time, you should take care of spotlights, table lamps and chandeliers. It would be great if you can create zoning using light. Separate the play area from the sleeping area. In the place where the child does his homework, be sure to install a powerful lamp.

Nice decor

Decoration is appropriate even in ascetic Scandinavian design. Stylish wooden toys mounted on shelves, numerous pillows beautifully laid out on the bed or a wooden panel hung on the wall. All this creates a special atmosphere.

A wigwam fits perfectly into a children's room. The child loves to play in a secluded corner and have his own personal space. This decor not only beautifully complements the design, but is also practical.

Open shelving includes a large number of small baskets and boxes. The child will store mementos, toys or important things in them. In the table be sure to provide several drawers, where the notebooks will fit. For a schoolchild, a shelf is important where textbooks and favorite books will be placed.

Textiles in the children's room

The quality of the fabric plays an important role in creating a stylish design. Curtains are made from translucent linen or cotton. They should not interfere with the flow of light coming from the street.

The bed also uses a bedspread and pillows with geometric patterns or completely plain ones. No synthetics! Only environmentally friendly and attractive materials.

Blankets or capes are used for armchairs and chairs. Some people prefer to additionally decorate the room with eco-fur rugs. This is the only artificial material allowed in the Scandinavian style.

Play area in Scandinavian style

Children love to play on the floor. Scandinavians do not see anything wrong with this, so they often make insulated floors with additional heat sources. Rugs and blankets often end up on the floor as bedding.

In addition, direction implies complete order, even in the toys of a little fidget. In the play area it is worth providing a large shelving unit with open shelves. This way the child will see the entire “range” of toys at his disposal. Rattan boxes and baskets perfectly accommodate construction sets and small prefabricated toys.

As we have already noted, a wigwam or tent is a great addition to a room and play area. The child is comfortable and Mom always knows where to look for him. Please note that all toys are predominantly made of wood and do not harm the baby.

Scandinavian style, despite its apparent coldness, is very soft and cozy. Many modern families decorate not just a child’s room, but the entire apartment in this style. This environment brings peace and home comfort.
