“The position of the crib, the breastfeeding chair, as well as other elements, is defined according to the best disposition for the project. To put each element in its place, we consider logistics and the circulation of space. So, from this planning, we chose the objects and specifying the right measures, “says Fabiana Villegas.

Another caution is to be aware of the excess of decoration, especially on the floor, not to interfere with the circulation or safety of compromise during the walk.

The bathroom can be made in the room as long as the environment is prepared. “The child’s bathroom can be administered both in the bedroom and in the bathroom, as long as the atmosphere is without air currents and an adequate temperature. It is worth ensuring that the place is adequately equipped, safe and comfortable for the child, and is practical for the routine of the parents”, adds Gabriela Vilarrubia.

To achieve a satisfactory result, it is worth investing in an intelligent woodworking project, including the design of Montessorian furniture and accessories, so that the child develops with freedom and regulates the furniture based on each phase of his life. “The Montessorian style allows the child to interact with the space in which he finds himself and can have more autonomy in everyday life,” says Gabriela Vilarrubia.

For the protagonist of the children’s room, today there are several possibilities. “Today, the market is full of options – from the items ready to buy, as well as something more personalized, where it is possible to compose according to the customer’s tastes.

5. Organization for children

When the goal is to leave everything in order after the activities, it is necessary to count on some elements that contribute to the order and harmony of the environment. “We indicate the use of baskets and organizational boxes, as well as shelves for books, magazines and others objects. Therefore, in addition to keeping the room always organized, this encourages the child to understand the importance of storage and instead create the habit of maintaining each object “, says the professionals.

Returning to the children’s rooms, there are objects such as a passenger trolley, a comfort for children or an oscillation, which do not always have space to keep in the dormitory itself, due to lack of space. Therefore, professionals show that a good way out is to opt for a personalized solution. “If the child’s room does not have a cabinet space to keep these objects, we always project in a space outside of this environment,” says Fabiana Villegas.

6. Visual comfort and timeless time

You should bet on backgrounds that correspond to the proposal of the room in question, guaranteeing a light environment, without many visual stimuli or excess characters wallsas it once was. “In our projects, we always think that, like the common area of the apartment, the children’s room also deserves a timeless proposal, without losing its delicacy and wonderful details,” they explain.

For example, in a room where parents want a blue color, they indicate the application of a soft background that follows the same information about the rest of the space, such as a light blue card or a stripes model with blue details and can reach a light gray tone for the walls. Therefore, it is possible to print more personalities in the project that includes woodworking, tapestries and furniture, leaving the background as a delicate object that closes the concept of space.
