It is from choosing a room that the creation of comfort for the baby begins. Children should be placed as far as possible from the kitchen and living room with the windows facing south-east, south or east, the reason for this is that children wake up early and fall asleep early, so a bright room in the morning is the best option.
The floor in the children's room should be warm, which protects the child from colds, and is easily amenable to both dry and wet cleanings. Considering the floor coverings, you should focus your choice on wood materials such as parquet and parquet board, which are practical and ecological, but the best option is the cork floor, it has excellent thermal insulation and noise insulation properties, very convenient for cleaning, hypoallergenic and withstand any loads .
Do not cover the floor with linoleum. He has a very significant drawback: the child will be extremely uncomfortable to crawl over it, and to take the first steps on a slippery surface is not the best option. Carpets and carpets should also be excluded, they are poorly cleaned out, but very good dust is collected from which the child can develop an allergy.
The window in the nursery should well pass the sun's rays, but also protect well from drafts and frost, dust and noise. Therefore, old wooden windows should be replaced. All this can provide plastic windows. PVC profile is completely safe for both adults and children. This is confirmed by both Russian and European hygienic certificates. Plastic windows are installed in maternity hospitals, schools, kindergartens, hospitals and dwellings.
The temperature level in the children's room should be at least 23-24 degrees Celsius. In maternity hospitals, for example, the temperature is maintained at 27 degrees Celsius. In the heating season, in order to protect the health of the child, heating radiators should be equipped with automatic thermostats. The child's room should also be aired 3-4 times a day, naturally, when there is no baby in the room.
When installing the air conditioner in the room, it is necessary to correctly position the indoor unit. Air flow should not fall on the baby's crib and place for games.
In the nursery it is necessary to maintain the humidity at 50-70% to avoid problems such as coughing, drying out of mucous membranes, runny nose.
Environmental friendliness, practicality and safety are the most important words to consider when designing a children's room. Persian carpets and author's paintings, silkscreen and antique parquet - are not needed in the future nursery, because all this will sooner or later be hopelessly corrupted.
Wallpaper should be chosen breathable, natural, non-woven base or paper. Although washable vinyl wallpaper and more convenient to use, but they do not belong to hypoallergenic materials.
No less important when choosing wallpaper and color. It is recommended to use pleasant and light, bed colors. Too bright colors are irritating. Green colors, according to psychologists, evoke interest in the world around them. Funny and large pictures on the walls, as well as wallpapers, accelerate the mental development of the child.
Particular attention should be paid to the lighting of the children's room. First and foremost, safety is important - sockets and switches must be equipped with "child protection", all wires must be hidden. When selecting a chandelier, attention should be paid to small ornaments, glass pendants, which should not be. It is advisable to equip the room with additional light sources. At the bed it is necessary to place a night light. It will be ideal if all light sources have dimmers to adjust the luminous flux.
In addition to the cot with adjustable heights of the sides and the bottom, you will need a changing table, a wardrobe for toys, a chest of drawers for children's things, a chair for feeding, a riding school.
First of all, the requirements for children's furniture are aimed at safety. Ideally, all furniture should be made of natural wood, without varnishing and painting. More affordable option will be furniture from MDF and chipboard, which are easy to clean and strong enough, but when buying such furniture, you should ask for a certificate of quality - furniture from a low-quality particleboard can emit formaldehyde. It should be remembered that furniture should not have sharp edges and corners, as well as unscrewing parts.
Let's sum up, the most important thing for a newborn is security. Hypoallergenic finishing and building materials, comfortable furniture, comfortable microclimate - and a small child will grow up happy and healthy, learning all new and unknown.
