How to equip a nursery for two children?

For each child in the children’s room, it is necessary to provide a separate bed and a table for classes. If the wardrobe, shelving and chests of drawers can be shared, then the bed and desk should be individual. In total, two options can be distinguished: according to the principle of a common space and with a division into two zones. Each of these options has its own advantages and disadvantages. And both options have many solutions. The choice of the organization of the nursery space depends on many factors, such as gender, age, temperament, and even the hobbies of each child.

Children's room for two with a common space

This option of organizing space is good for children of the same sex and with a small difference in age. In this case, the time of sleep, study and rest for children will coincide as much as possible and they will not interfere with each other. As a plus of this option, you can call the opportunity to equip one play area for two, which helps save space in the nursery.

Bed arrangement options in a nursery with a shared space:

• Bunk bed. This is a win-win option for toddlers, preschoolers and children of different sexes. In addition, the idea of \u200b\u200b"two-story" can be used differently if you order a loft bed with a work desk on the first floor and a sleeping place on the second. It is worth ordering a bunk bed or a loft bed if the nursery is very small or you want to leave a significant part of the nursery area free. For example, in order to install a sports corner in the room. But there is also a minus in this idea - the two-story building can bother children in two or three years.
• Separate beds. Separate beds are good for both toddlers and teenagers. You can arrange them in several ways: along one wall, at an angle - at adjacent walls or parallel to each other. In choosing the arrangement method, the shape, size of the room and how the children contact each other play an important role. If the room is long, then you can arrange the beds along one long wall. For square rooms, the placement of the "corner" will be suitable, and if the children like to chat before going to bed, then you can arrange the beds in parallel, separating them with bedside tables. When organizing a nursery according to the type of common space, it is possible to conditionally divide the room into a sleeping area, in which beds are placed, and into a working area, where there will be desks and shelves with books and textbooks. The placement of work tables in the children's room for two children is similar to the placement of beds. The most common options are: in one line, facing each other or along different walls. But when choosing a place for desktops, you need to take into account the location of light sources, this is a very important factor. The light should fall so that the hand does not cast a shadow on the notebook. Therefore, under the working area, it is best to allocate a place near the window, near the natural light source.

Two separate areas in the children's room

If you have children of different sexes or children with a big difference in age, with different hobbies, or they just often conflict, then it is better to choose the organization of the children's room space in the form of two separate zones. With this option, children will have not only separate sleeping and working places, but also separate parts of the room. In fact, the children's room is divided into two rooms. You can split it in several ways.

Ways of zoning a children's room for two children

You can divide the children's room into two parts with the help of partitions, screens, shelving and cabinets. An important requirement that must be met when dividing is the uniform distribution of natural light and the division of the room into approximately equal parts. In most cases, there is only one window in the room, so if the room has an elongated shape with a window in a small wall, then dividing such a room into two parts according to all the rules will be almost impossible. A good solution is to divide the room with a through shelving. In this case, the room is divided into two parts, but the light freely penetrates from one zone to another. If it is not possible to divide the nursery with a partition, shelving or screen, visual zoning can be used. For example, you can decorate each part in your own color scheme, use different flooring and light zoning.
