In addition to the theme of the environment, other characteristics must be taken into consideration before buying furniture.

The choice of furniture is something that usually leaves parents a little lost in setting up the bedroom. This is because, in addition to the variety, they are expensive elements. For interior designer Mimy Anselmo it is important to think of “durable furniture both in terms of quality and functionality”, so that they can satisfy the next stages of the child as much as possible.




Match the furniture to the theme

Furniture is an object that must follow the style or theme chosen for the room. “For more romantic and classic environments, elements such as frames, fillets, straws and arabesques, which can be mixed with more contemporary elements with straighter lines. In more modern environments, more minimal compositions, where you can invest in color as an element of charm and personality“, explains the interior designer.

Ergonomics and functionality

The architect and urban planner Marina Belotto adds that it is important that the furniture has “the maximum possible ergonomics, which has everything to do with a functional environment”. Therefore, she points out that the breastfeeding chair, for example, is interesting because it is comfortable and has a side table next to it to put water for the mother.

Always thinking about functionality, Mimy Anselmo explains that, if possible, it is Interesting adding a support bed or a sofa bed in the child’s room, “because, that night when the child wakes up a lot, sometimes someone needs to spend the night there”.

Looking at the future

Another advice from Marina Belotto is to think about the future when choosing pieces of furniture, so you can use the furniture in other ways. “They are more functional for the beginning of the baby’s life and, at the same time, can be used at other times in the baby’s life,” she says.

Furniture distribution
