When two daughters grow up in a family, they usually have to live together. So girls different ages learn to communicate, negotiate, coexist in a common space. It is important how old each of them is, the age difference, their characters and preferences. modern room for two girls it should be at the same time a bedroom, a playroom, an office and a living room where friends will come. Often it also becomes a gym and a workshop, so when decorating, parents face a difficult, but completely solvable task.
When designing a children's room for girls, you should remember some functional requirements:
- small children need a place to play;
- schoolgirls need a lot of shelves, high school students will need lockers;
- storage space doesn't have to be bulky.
Lighting
Natural lighting is a necessary condition for the formation of a healthy psyche of children. It has been noticed that in dark rooms children develop worse and grow more slowly, but in the light the body compensates for these omissions with rapid growth.
Provide as much natural light as possible. To do this, use windows intended purpose they must let in sunlight. Keep fabrics and drapes to a minimum. Blackout curtains won't work better lungs light-colored curtains or blinds.
It is necessary to equip each work table and bed with local lighting.
Best to use Spotlights. They should be bright, but not blind. A room for two girls will look impressive if the recreation area is decorated with original floor lamps or color music.
Freedom of movement
In a spacious room, children feel comfortable, they will not show aggression. In adolescence, this freedom will help to avoid depression and smooth out a critical period of development.
Cramping in the nursery is unacceptable. A free room should remain regardless of the number of children. Carefully check the dimensions of each piece of furniture, use the entire height of the walls. Save space bunk beds and shelving. If necessary, a closet can be placed in the hallway. It is important to leave the center of the room as free as possible.
Room zoning
No matter how mature and independent the girls seem, the intervention of parents is sometimes necessary, for example, to divide the room into equal zones. There is no need to rush to offer help, the girls will seek advice after numerous failed attempts to do it on their own.
In order to take into account the desires of each daughter and ensure comfort for two, one should adhere to the principle of zoning, divide the room according to a functional basis and allocate a place for sleeping, playing and studying.
The design of a nursery for two girls, if there is a big age difference between them, has its own characteristics, the study and recreation areas should be divided so that the hostesses of the room do not interfere with each other. If there is a slight difference, they can be combined.
Sufficient natural lighting in each area is important.
Sleep zone
There are several options for arranging beds:
- to different walls
- with separation by a partition from a cabinet or shelving;
- with canopies.
If the area of \u200b\u200bthe room does not allow the implementation of these solutions, consider others, each of which will allow the most rational use of square meters:
- folding sofas (version for teenagers);
- roll-out beds (can be used regardless of age);
- reclining bed-shelves;
- bunk beds(the upper tier is only for schoolgirls, if the ceiling height allows).
Place the cribs as shown in the photo so that when falling asleep, the girls feel calm and private. Regardless of the choice, parents should provide two children with comfortable orthopedic mattresses.
Beds should be placed so that they are not conspicuous to anyone entering the room.
Games zone
Its arrangement depends on the nature and hobbies of girls. Today, various chests with drawers that can be wicker are popular. For toys, this option is ideal, because you can quickly put everything together. Use sticky pointers to tell you exactly what the box holds (dolls, cubes, or something else).
It is necessary to equip a place for reading and install equipment for teenagers. It is desirable that the room has a sports corner (after all, girls do not only play with dolls), in which they will be appropriate swedish wall or sports equipment.
study zone
Here we need lockers for each of the girls, a lot of shelves, functional places for classes and good lighting. The desktop does not require much space, because modern monitors are extremely compact, and textbooks will be placed on the shelves. Good Examples working area are shown in the photo.
It is advisable that children do not sit with their backs to the door, because such an arrangement subconsciously causes a feeling of discomfort.
Features of the choice of furniture
In the room where two girls live, there should not be anything superfluous, since a shortage of free space is inevitable. Should not be placed under a wall with a window. tall furniture, and all pieces of furniture should be selected in light colors or in the selected color scheme. Chests of drawers with drawers will be more convenient, they will fit more than traditional shelves in the closet.
The best option would be separate beds, as well as all interior items purchased in duplicate for each of the daughters. A children's room for two girls must be with mirrors, one of which must be full-length.
Regardless of age, young ladies need a dressing room or a place to try on outfits to show them to their parents or friends. The ideal solution here there will be a wardrobe that combines two tasks, differing in spaciousness, compactness and the fact that you can choose the type of wardrobe that fits perfectly into the overall design of the room.
If the room is small
Correct a small room with an interior solution for dividing into zones and the right choice furniture. It is important not only to achieve an optical effect, but to really get free space for games and sports activities.
- consider purchasing a bunk bed. The sleeping area in this case will be combined;
- shelving and shelves can also be shared, but storage space should be shared;
- analyze the entire space for placement of wall pockets, drawers and shelves;
- It is desirable to use open and closed lockers. This change allows you to change general form rooms so that it always looks fresh;
- the room will look spacious if it is filled with light furniture;
- use a uniform discreet background as a basis for bright accessories.
An original approach to the issue
In order to save space, use mobile furniture. Thanks to the wheels, you can quickly clear the place and turn the sleeping area into a play area. Great options will be the use of modular furniture or the installation of a podium.
In the latter case, it is possible to combine bed and a spacious table. When a podium is placed in the center of the room, beds can be placed under it, and desktops can be comfortably placed on it. It is allowed to use an inflatable upholstered furniture. If you insulate the loggia, you can equip it with a working or play area.
Color selection
The choice of color for decorating a room is best done together with the girls. They will express their wishes, which should be taken into account and only slightly corrected. But in general, this is an individual question:
- for little girls, parents will decide this issue, focusing on their own ideas about comfort. Usually these are light pastel solutions;
- monochrome design is not the best choice. Use a combination of calm or, conversely, contrasting colors;
- if the walls are plain, add variety with multi-colored textiles and furniture. The main thing is not to get too colorful interior;
- if the windows of the room face north, use warm colors - apricot and peach shades;
- to create a calm atmosphere and with a lot of sunlight, give preference to cool shades, for example, mint, blue with the addition of gray and pale shades of purple.
If the children are already independent, then choosing is both easier and more difficult, because they may have different views on the interior. In this case, parents should allow them to make a list of their favorite shades, from which they can then choose the most compatible. By choosing one shade for each of the girls, they can be made dominant in each part of the room, delicately intertwining them. Well, if you can pick up wallpaper in these colors.
It is better that the colors in the nursery are neutral. Bright saturated colors are not just annoying, they will be a bad backdrop for decorations that girls will want to stick on the walls. Optimal solution- a combination of sand and blue. These shades will provide a feeling of comfort and tranquility.
Wallpaper for the walls in the nursery
Wallpaper is the most successful option for decorating the walls in the nursery, because they will give the interior warmth, if desired, they are easy to replace. Wallpaper should be only paper (not vinyl), drawing with a lack of specifics, since the walls should not be the center of attention, the only exception is murals that visually enlarge the room.
Posters and stickers look good on the walls in a calm style. Examples of the design of children's rooms can be seen in the photo. The rooms look light and spacious, creating a feeling of light and freedom. If the interior of the nursery for two children is made rationally, then it is very easy to maintain order. Should only be used eco-friendly materials, which in themselves are natural, durable, easy to care for. All furniture must be sharp corners. Remember that happy children grow up in a properly designed room.
__________________________________________________
The design of a children's room for two girls is a rather responsible matter for the happy parents of two princesses at once. The environment, especially if it is a personal space, has a huge impact on the formation of personality.
The most difficult task facing parents is to strike a balance between the following aspects:
- their desires and abilities;
- the size of the room;
- compliance of the situation with the age characteristics of children;
- each sister's idea of what design should be comfortable for her.
The importance of the latter aspect cannot be underestimated, since a room that does not correspond in any way to the dreams of a child will not cause a desire to play in it, and sometimes even just to be. It will not be difficult to take into account the wishes of the girls. For example, you can instruct one of the sisters to choose the color of the furniture for the room, and the second to decide on the design of the furniture or the overall style of the nursery.
In order not to end up with an unpleasant surprise in the form of a palette of incongruous colors or mixing different styles, it is enough to limit the choice of children to several options.
Zoning as an important aspect of space organization
The main areas of the children's room
Each room that performs several functions needs their competent distribution. This is especially true for children who need versatile development and the acquisition of important skills, love of sports and healthy habits.
The nursery includes three mandatory areas:
- sleeping area- cozy, but simple and not overloaded with many details.
Soft diffused light, the absence of bright decorative elements and the presence of neutral, calm tones that promote relaxation are preferable. It is better to remove beds from sources of drafts, radiators, sockets, mirrors (many children are afraid to sleep in front of a mirror) and electrical appliances.
Place the sleeping places closer to the window, girls usually really like this, of course, provided that the window overlooks a quiet courtyard. A double bed is not the best choice in the interior of a children's room for two girls.
If space allows, organize an individual bed for each child.
- Game Zone- provides for the presence of elements for active games, educational toys, music and video devices, sports equipment.
Ideally, the zone should occupy a fairly large space, which is especially true for children aged 3 to 7 years.
- Working (training) area- should include elements that help increase efficiency and concentration: bright light, the presence of sockets for a computer, separation from other areas by partitions or color.
All this will create a serious corner for classes, in which there must be a written and computer desk for each child (provided that by age he needs it), bookcase or book shelves.
It is not always possible to limit yourself to the standard three zones.
For children aged 7 to 12, zoning into at least 4 zones is preferable, which, in addition to those mentioned, also includes a zone a relaxing holiday. After all, in addition to sleep, study and active games, the child needs a place to practice creativity.
It is useful when girls have their own hobby - collecting, music, singing, modeling, beadwork, knitting or other types of needlework. Zone creative development it is necessary to organize it in such a way that the sisters can, without interfering with each other, each do their favorite thing and feel encouragement from their parents.
If the girls have not yet decided on their favorite pastime, hang for them on one of the walls a few sheets of drawing paper that can be painted. This will serve not only as a great way of self-expression, but also as an addition to the design of the nursery. Another option is a magnetic board or board with chips and markers for notes.
So, almost any interior design project for a nursery for two girls provides for a distinction between these 3-4 zones.
For girls, unlike boys or children of different sexes, it is more correct to choose a uniform zoning scheme, when approximately the same space is allocated to each of the zones. An exception can be made only for preschoolers, by canceling or combining with the creative zone a working zone in which there is no urgent need before school.
It is important to understand that it is impossible to abandon traditional zoning without harming children, most spending time in their room. Proper zoning is a guarantee effective development and productive leisure, as well as additional factor to acquire the skills of discipline and organization.
Methods for zoning a room
Experts offer two ways to divide the space of a room into zones:
- Individual zoning- very convenient for girls of different ages, when you have to take into account the difference in the daily routine, interests, hobbies, studies and other areas of life.
For example, it is almost impossible to create a common play area for sisters, one of which is a teenager, and the other attends a kindergarten.
When assigning zones, think about how girls will interact: for example, younger sister should not interfere with the older one’s studies with games, and the older one should prevent her sister from sleeping by watching movies or listening to music.
- Creating common areas in a room- ideal for sisters-girlfriends of about the same age, who have a lot of common interests and activities.
This is especially true for a small children's room, when a small space does not allow enough space to create two options for each zone.
The easiest zoning option is the separation of color accents. Usually for girls of approximately the same age this is enough, but if you have desire and imagination, you can use other methods:
- Stationary partitions are complex and simple structures made of drywall and wood.
- Screens - not only ceiling, but also floor, they are especially relevant for the design of the sleeping area. Sisters will like an almost weightless delicate airy screen or a screen in the form of a spectacular theater curtain.
- Medium-height furniture is practical and very convenient, dividers can be shelving for toys and books, built-in wardrobes, sports accessories and even a piano. But this separation method is more suitable for zoning a large space: at least 14 m 2.
- Horizontal zoning - implies the design of one of the zones on a kind of podium (multi-level floors) or vertical separation: a sleeping area on top, a place for games and activities below. The main thing is to ensure the appropriate safety of the surrounding space with this method of zoning.
Rules for choosing furniture for a children's room
When choosing furniture in a room for 2 girls, you must adhere to several important rules:
- Materials must be environmentally friendly, non-flammable and low maintenance. The best option is solid wood. For beds, be sure to purchase high-quality orthopedic mattresses.
- It is necessary to pay close attention to the safety of interior items: regardless of the age of the children, all furniture must be stable and with rounded corners.
- In order to avoid conflicts, try to adhere to a policy of equality: each of the sisters should have an individual bed, a writing (computer) table or a table for modeling and drawing, a chair or armchair, a bedside table. The wardrobe can be purchased one for two, but the number of shelves should be the same for each of the sisters. The choice of different interior items for each child is more appropriate in the design of a room for children of different sexes.
- In case of a lack of space, the design of a nursery for two girls will only benefit from the use of multifunctional furniture that will free up space for other areas: folding or roll-out beds; bed, retractable from the closet; bunk beds or folding sofa, folding tabletop for a desk. Such designs are very convenient for sisters with a significant difference in age: for example, a multifunctional sofa can be a sleeping place for an older girl, and during daylight hours serve as a place to relax and play.
- If possible, purchase mobile furniture - on wheels. This will allow you to quickly and easily, literally in a matter of minutes, make a rearrangement that women of any age simply adore.
- Do not forget about the carpet, children love to play or just lie on the floor. It is better to give preference to a warm carpet of non-staining color with a short pile, which is easy to care for.
Choosing lighting and expanding space
The design of a children's room for two girls implies the presence of space and light, which are essential for the harmonious development of the child. For a nursery, it is better to choose the lightest and sunny room in a house or apartment.
If there is not as much sun and light as you would like, first of all, you should abandon heavy and dark curtains, strict blinds, piles of furniture at the windows - everything that prevents access daylight. You can also compensate for the lack of space and light with the help of light shades of furniture, curtains and bedding.
Visually expand and brighten the room with large pictures in pastel colors. The level of lighting also depends on the zone: in the sleeping area, the light should be diffused, in the play area it should be brighter, the study area should be lit with the highest quality and moderately bright so that the child does not spoil his eyesight during classes.
Don't forget about this lighting fixture like a nightlight. It is necessary for most children up to 5 - 7 years. You can abandon standard solutions and entrust the function of additional night lighting to luminous elements in the form of stars, butterflies, flowers, bows and other charms so loved by little princesses.
Preschool children will especially like this design. Luminous elements can be hung in the sleeping area, decorate them with wallpaper, curtains, a canopy or a screen near the bed.
A convenient and functional option for a nursery - lamps with the ability to adjust the brightness or individual light sources for different zones. This is very important for two girls of different ages: when the younger one goes to bed, and the older one needs to do homework at this time.
The color scheme in the room for two girls
Girls love pink and purple, as everyone knows, but you should not be limited to two standard colors. It is wiser to choose a delicate shade from the pastel range and diversify it with bright decor elements.
It can be as bright hearts, ruffles, stars, animals and flowers on curtains, wallpaper and bedding - for preschool sisters, as well as bright furniture for older children.
The sleeping area should be decorated exclusively in soothing colors so that the child can relax in such an environment.
When choosing colors for design, look at the following colors: light olive, apricot, blue, soft pink, mint, pistachio, color Ivory and baked milk, greenish yellow, light green, beige, peach, vanilla, golden.
From the point of view of child psychologists, these are ideal shades for a nursery.
If the height of the room is at least 2.5 m, a glossy stretch ceiling will look very stylish, allowing you to visually expand the space. Having coordinated the design with the sisters, you can turn an ordinary ceiling into a night or morning sky, painting it in dark blue with golden stars or delicate azure with snow-white clouds.
The latter option will help visually expand the space and add light to the room.
Attention should be paid psychological aspect colors: for example, red in a nursery is unacceptable, as it causes excitement and even aggression. It can be used exclusively for melancholy and passive babes in need of stimulation, and only in the play and work areas.
If you want bright accents, it is better to use yellow, orange, lilac or hot pink.
With purple and blue colors, especially in bright versions, it is important not to overdo it: psychologists say that their abundance can tire and overwhelm children, and sometimes even cause depression.
Finishing touches in the design of the room
Cute “girly” accessories will help to revive and complete the room:
- For babies, it can be lamps, soft toys, or even essentially useless little things - in the form of favorite flowers, animals, cartoon characters.
- For older girls - photographs, own names, lined with bright and possibly luminous letters, drawings or crafts in beautiful frames.
- For teenage girls - posters with stars, favorite audio and video CDs.
When planning a space, one should not forget that in a few short years the design will lose its relevance, as children grow rapidly. Try to decorate the nursery so that its elements are universal - for example, give up "children's" furniture, preferring classic models.
Give the room baby look decor elements will help - pillows, bedding, curtains, curtains, stickers, funny pictures.
They can be easily removed and replaced with new ones, depending on the age of the owners of the nursery and without prejudice to overall design rooms.
In order for the sisters to learn how to keep their territory in order, organize storage for their things and treasures. In addition to a spacious wardrobe, you can use bright boxes for toys (girls will be delighted if they are on wheels), shelving or multi-level shelves of different sizes.
If one of the girls is older, place her organizers and storage at a level that the youngest cannot reach.
This will avoid many conflicts, because it is not always possible for a small child to explain that you cannot take certain things that are within his reach.
Be sure to organize a space for older girls to “beautify” - it’s convenient if each sister has her own mirror. You can use one for two, but it is desirable that girls can see themselves in it from head to toe. In addition to the opportunity to show off, mirrors will add space and light to the room.
To develop a stylish, comfortable and safe design of a children's room for two girls is not an easy task, but it is quite solvable. The main thing is to take into account the interests of both daughters, to create for each her own corner in which she will feel comfortable and comfortable.
Furniture arrangement
When designing a children's room for two girls, you need to consider the following points:
- correct zoning of the room;
- sufficient illumination;
- convenient storage system for necessary things and toys.
Unfortunately, it does not always have a large area. Therefore, when drawing up a design project for a children's room for two girls, you should abandon large wardrobes that will clutter up the space. In a girl's room, it will be enough to put 1 or 2 chests of drawers small size with pull-out drawers. They can be used to store underwear and essentials. The rest of the girls' things are best placed in a separate room.
A well-designed children's room for two girls begins with determining a comfortable place to sleep. It is better to determine the sleeping area away from the windows of the room. At the same time, there should not be near the beds. electrical sockets or electrical appliances.
The design of the beds can be very diverse, for example, roll-out, folding or transformers. It depends on the age of the little housewives. The main thing is that they can make their own bed in the evening and clean it in the morning.
If the interior design of a children's room for two girls involves the installation of a bunk bed, you need to provide it comfortable stairs to climb to the top. A border along the edge of the upper bed will also not be superfluous.
The design of the room for 2 younger girls needs to be arranged in such a way as to comply with safety regulations. To do this, it is necessary to abandon furniture with sharp corners and glass doors that can be accidentally broken. Young children need a play space that is not occupied by furniture. Therefore, in the children's room it is required to put only the most necessary furniture.
For sports activities, it is also desirable to equip a special area. If the children's room is small, it is quite possible to place sports equipment in the doorway. Moreover, the stairs of a bunk bed can be turned into an impromptu wall bars.
It is not necessary to cover the floor in the children's room with carpet or a large carpet. It is better to lay a small carpet in the play area and place rugs by the beds.
Design of jobs
A properly designed children's room design for two girls will allow them to create comfortable spot for recreation or various activities, as well as conditions for learning their independence. Therefore, you need to ensure that the little housewives themselves put things in order in their room, learn to carefully lay out their things and clean the room as much as possible.
When designing a children's room for two teenage girls, you need to make sure that workplace each girl was individual. Desks should be placed closer to the window. Above each of them, shelves are needed for personal items, writing instruments, textbooks. You can put a small cabinet between the desktops. This will help to equip each girl with a separate place for classes. In the closet it will be possible to store the necessary things, as well as books.
Different ages should be done taking into account the difference in interests of little ladies. Especially if the eldest of them has already started going to school, and the youngest is still a preschooler. The eldest must have a workplace for classes. The youngest needs a comfortable corner to play.
It is necessary to organize the zones in such a way that girls can play or study without interfering with each other.
The storage system for toys, as well as other necessary things, should be located so that both girls have free access to things and can clean them up without interfering with each other. The workplace for schoolgirls needs to be arranged so that there is somewhere to place a computer.
A younger girl will be easier to teach to be neat if her play area is cozy with comfortable toy containers. You can use baskets, colorful boxes, boxes.
If you are going to design a children's room for two teenage girls, you need to take into account their opinion. Middle-aged girls may well take part in the selection finishing materials rooms. Curtains, bedspreads, furniture upholstery, etc. are also best chosen, taking into account their taste. Then it is quite possible for each girl to arrange her personal space in the room in the colors that she chooses herself. The main thing is that too many colors are not involved in the design, and all of them are combined with each other.
Tables for classes should be separate. This will allow both girls to study quietly without interfering with each other. Each workplace must be equipped with a separate lamp for local lighting.
Comfort and harmony
The children's room requires both overhead and local lighting. In addition to lamps on desks you need to place light sources above the beds. For little girls, these can be nightlights, for older girls it is better to place a sconce over the bed or put a floor lamp next to it. This will allow you to read before going to bed, sitting in bed.
Textiles used for furniture and curtains should be easy to wash. Too light curtains, bedspreads, etc. are better not to use. Especially if young girls live in the room. Suspended ceilings Not suitable for a child's room either. After all, such a ceiling is easy to damage during games, and repair will be expensive.
In your room you should have not only computers, but also audio equipment. You can also install a separate TV in the room. This will allow the girls to watch the movies and TV shows they want.
All materials used for decorating a child's room should be chosen from among natural and antibacterial options. It is advisable to avoid too much variety of colors so as not to create excessive variegation.
Space savings in small room serve as location hanging bed above the workplace. It would be nice if the furniture for sleeping or studying for girls of about the same age was of the same type. Although they can choose their favorite furniture. The main thing is that 2 sets of furniture look harmonious.
I like
Parents who are lucky enough to raise girls have to solve the seemingly simple issue of arranging a children's room. When choosing children's furniture for two girls, it may seem that this task is simple, given the volume of offers on the market. Designers offer an abundance of options, focused both on mass demand and on the individual wishes of the client. The most diverse materials are used: wood, MDF, metal, plastic, textiles - whatever the soul desires and the wallet allows. On the other side, mass production may not meet the tastes of the future owners of the children's room. When parents set out to create a special space for girls, the main thing is to approach the issue in a balanced way. In the absence of design skills, you may need the help of a specialist to help make the space ergonomic and unique.
Before plunging into the maelstrom of furniture offers, parents should remember that the choice should be:
- functional, as practical as possible;
- meet the age needs of each of the girls;
- be consistent with the interests of children;
- provide individual personal space;
- promote healthy physical and psychological development of girls.
Children's furniture for two girls should be as easy to maintain and operate as possible, providing a comfortable and safe interaction with interior items. Children should be owners of the room, not furniture attachments.
Necessary furniture
What do two girls need? Of the basic needs, there are: sleeping places, places for study or classes, storage systems for personal belongings, clothes, boxes for toys or sports equipment, free space for outdoor games, dances.
| Function | Furniture items | Big room | Small room |
| Sleeping place | Beds | Enough space for two separate beds. | Give preference to a compartment bed, loft bed, roll-out or pull-out type options that are easily removed for the day. |
| Study, classes | Desks, chairs | You can equip separate workplaces for daughters, allocating their own corner to each. | Use loft beds with niches to set up a table, or, work zone can be raised to the attic or podium. Transformer furniture will help save precious space - folding tables, folding chairs. |
| Storage of personal belongings | Dressers, table with drawers, shelving, cabinets | If space permits, each of the daughters can become the owner of a personal chest of drawers, bedside tables, and a shelving unit. | Built-in drawers, sliding sections will come to the rescue. |
| Clothes storage | Dressing room, wardrobe | 1 cabinet divided into sections. Or 2 small separate options. | Arrangement corner cabinet compartment or wall cabinet for the most efficient use of space in the room. Place some of the clothes in the built-in linen drawers. |
| Storage of toys, sports equipment | Baskets, boxes, crates | Choose the most attractive roomy options for the style of the owner's zone. | Use for storage options that can be cleaned in niches, space under beds, tables. |
| Lighting | Table lamps, lamps, chandelier | A large chandelier is complemented by zone lamps. | In addition to the main source of light and illumination of the working and bedside areas, make a backlight or use mirrored, glossy surfaces to visually make the room more spacious and brighter. |
Don't try to overload the room. Perhaps some of the things girls can use together, in turn, for example, if they study in different shifts. However, it is impossible to make absolutely everything general! Between children there should be boundaries that fix personal space, the ability to set their own rules.
Do not overload the room with furniture. The crowded space suppresses the child's psyche. In addition, it is unsafe - children can run, jump, play pranks. Enough space is needed for games so that none of the girls accidentally get injured. Discard carpets as a covering - they require care and careful handling. Take advantage of modern floor coverings, preventing slipping and providing a warm floor.
The same age
When children's furniture is purchased for two girls - the same age, or with a small difference in age, it is often easier for parents. Similar interests of sisters, the same needs and age characteristics. As a rule, this is a single color scheme for the entire room, the same furniture and decor with slight differences in details. Because it is important to be "like a sister." Psychologists advise not to single out one of the children so that the second girl does not experience discomfort.
For younger girls, delicate pastel shades are used, most often pink shades. In decor and textiles - elements and images from your favorite cartoons or hobbies. Beds can be equipped with canopies or be themed.
It is important that the design of the furniture used is safe for younger children - no sharp corners, mechanisms that exclude the possibility of pinching or scratching the child. Surfaces should be easy to clean, as girls can easily paint on cabinet doors or headboards with felt-tip pens or markers.
When buying beds made of wood, give preference to pine or birch. These breeds are characterized by:
- serve up to 15 years (this period will be enough for you);
- have a positive energy for the development of children;
- well cushioned, support the spine;
- hypoallergenic.
In addition, wooden beds are strong enough to withstand the increased activity of children during play - after all, girls can jump on beds no less than boys.
For adolescence more mature and functional options are required. In addition, teenage girls begin to show individuality and sometimes their interests are radically different. Here, it is important for parents to maintain the functional base of the room from quality materials, but at the same time leave room for self-expression.
Zoning can be done using open shelving, screens, partitions. With a neutral color base and furniture style, a combination with a variety of textiles is possible. For a teenage girl, her own territory is more important than ever - take care of the shelves, drawers, lockers.
different ages
If the age of girls varies greatly, then it is difficult to talk about a unified approach in the design of zones. When we are talking about the fact that the eldest of the daughters plans to live independently soon, the layout of the room and the furniture are selected so that after leaving the room it can be easily converted for one tenant. Designers are advised to use a transformer sofa to create a sleeping place for the older sister.
Even if the girls get along well, you need to make a clear delineation of space, because each age has its own needs. A younger girl may need an afternoon nap, while an older girl needs to do homework or other chores without disturbing her little sister's rest. And vice versa, the games of the younger girl should not distract the older one.
Psychologists and designers recommend to give preference individual approach in the design of the nursery. Racks and shelves, boxes will be useful for a schoolgirl girl - she needs to place a large number of books, notebooks, stationery. For the younger girl, you need to organize boxes where she can store toys, pencils, sketchbooks.
Beds can also vary in size. The "attic" version of the bed for the younger girl is often used, while the older one occupies a niche on the "first floor". In addition, for correct posture important is right choice mattresses - children's made of coir and latex for a preschooler and spring hard or medium hardness for a teenager. Beds must be according to the height of the child. It is unacceptable for the legs to hang down or the base to be too narrow.
Working areas are also completed according to the age of the girls. While the older girl needs a full work desk and chair, the younger girl needs a table and a comfortable chair to be able to draw or sculpt while learning to sit properly. Remember that good habits need to be developed from childhood and sometimes good example the younger will take over the elder more willingly than just the instructions of the parents.

Two main criteria when placing furniture in a children's room for girls: specifications the room itself and the peculiarities of the relationship between the sisters. Room features. A narrow and elongated room involves a parallel or sequential placement of beds:
- in the first case, such an arrangement of beds is often tied to the zoning of the room. For girls who like to chat with each other, the beds can be set side by side and separated by a small chest of drawers or a bedside table;
- if the beds are installed in series, along one of the walls, then let the “contact” be the headboards or footboards. You can separate the sleeping places with a small partition or shelving to provide more privacy for each of the sisters. Installing the headboard to the footboard is unacceptable - this can seriously impair the quality of girls' sleep.
If the girl's room is close to a square in shape, then the possibility of perpendicular installation of beds is offered, again with headboards to each other. This setting will allow the sisters to keep secrets to their heart's content. When girls have different interests, they have different biorhythms and temperament - it is more correct to place each in his own corner. This arrangement will help to avoid reasons for quarrels and conflicts.
It is better to discuss the use of compartment beds or "attics" with the girls in advance. There is no guarantee that they will want to sleep under the ceiling. Or vice versa, a place "under the roof" can turn into a cause for contention.

Thematic options
Interior and furniture options built within a certain theme look very interesting and seductive from the point of view of the design idea. Original decor elements are combined with functionality. Designers turn children's rooms for girls into ship decks for Assol, Robinson Crusoe's island or Snow White's house. Often this approach means an original project and custom-made furniture.
In such projects, structures made of MDF, drywall are actively used. To accent the zones, lighting or original design items and designs can act. Furniture can be pasted over with a decorative film or painted by hand.
For girls, themed children's rooms can be built in the form of:
- fairy castles;
- maritime theme;
- animations and cartoon characters;
- house of forest fairies and other bright offers.
This approach to arranging a room is suitable if the girls have the same interests, and they both feel comfortable in their “fabulous” apartments. However, if the age difference is significant, then this can be a reason for discomfort and conflict. A ruffy teenager may well begin to protest against the princess' canopy over the bed and reject her sister's favorite pink ruffles. It is far from always possible to embody a harmonious symbiosis of diametrically opposed interests of girls. If you are unsure of your abilities, but do not want to give up the idea, it is better to use the services of a designer. Otherwise, you risk getting a chaotic room space that will simply “scream” about a conflict of interest. It will be extremely difficult to live in such a room, provided that the child's psyche is not well-established.
In addition, girls grow up and their interests may a short time change diametrically. Parents who started themed interior, you will soon have to get rid of the unwanted environment. That is why the theme should be built as adaptively as possible so that a change in the priorities of children does not require overhaul. If the boards do not differ in the constancy of preferences, limit yourself to thematic decor.
Decoration methods
Use decorative elements to highlight individual characteristics and the interests of each girl, will be the most the best option. It is recommended to take a neutral color scheme as a basis. Furniture sets of light colors cope very well with this role. This decision will also make the room visually more spacious if the area of the nursery is not very large. Next, we choose textiles, posters, furnishings that girls will like. At the same time, the colors of curtains, pillows, bedspreads can play the role of unifying elements - "we are different, but together." After all, the main task of arranging a joint room is to help unite your girls, help them make contact with different interests.
- orange - for activity and energy;
- purple - to raise self-esteem;
- green - to stimulate communication skills;
- blue - for peace of mind.
The main thing is to remember the sense of proportion and not to abuse. Even if girls love the color red and advocate for its use, remember the need for its dosage. After all, the abundance of red can negatively affect the well-being of children. On the other hand, a pair of red pillows and organza of this shade on the windows will bring right amount active energy.
Let posters, framed photographs, souvenirs on the shelves talk about the sisters' hobbies. Ideally, if the little things are not only pleasant, but also functional.
Most importantly, when implementing the interior of a girls' room, consider the wishes of your children. Remember, they will live in this room. The nursery should please the sisters, be their cozy world where they communicate, study, play and relax. Compare the wishes of girls, your financial capabilities and technical specifications rooms. The easiest way is to let the girls choose from several available options. Moreover, when choosing furniture or textiles, offer options that are close in solution, which differ in shade, prints, texture, but at the same time have a common concept. Then it will be convenient for you to arrange furniture, without the risk of infringing on someone's wishes.

When you have two children, and there is only one nursery in the apartment, this is not an easy task. It becomes even more difficult if there is a difference in age. But this arrangement also has its advantages. In addition, there are many interesting solutions for such situations. It is worth familiarizing yourself with them and bringing them to life, and a room for two girls of different ages will become convenient and comfortable.
What should be taken into account first of all?
Mandatory allocation of personal space
When two sisters of different ages live in the same room, it brings them very close. In addition, the younger girl gets a good opportunity to learn from the older one, to gain experience. However, even in small spaces children should have a place for privacy. It can be equipped different ways. So, the younger girl may have a certain kind of house with a small entrance. These are often provided in multi-level furniture. Screens, curtains, a canopy, partitions are also suitable. Joint pastime is undoubtedly useful for both girls, but sometimes privacy is necessary for any person. By providing a personal space for each of the sisters, you will create for them all the conditions for a comfortable stay in the common room.

Special attention to zoning
In the nursery for two children of different ages, it is also necessary to provide for a clear division of space into zones. Each of them must take into account the interests of the child to whom it belongs. This applies to design and color schemes. At the same time, it is worth remembering that the nursery is a single space, in which all objects should make up a harmonious picture. Here you will need to find out the opinion of each girl and provide compromise options for both. In this way, they can learn tolerance and respect for each other's interests.
Save precious space
If the room for two girls of different ages has a large area, it would be best to visually divide it into two parts, allocating for each of the sisters their own place for sleeping, relaxing, working. It is also worth giving some of the space for a common pastime. But in small rooms there are no such opportunities and you have to look for non-standard solutions. In this case, it is worth understanding what can be combined, and what is better left as a personal space. The surest option is a common place to store clothes and things. In small rooms, try to make space for separate work surfaces, saving space by installing one large cabinet. You can also partially combine the recreation area. Sometimes bunk beds are installed, which is also a good option. But retractable sleeping structures are not very convenient, since they are clearly unequal, which can cause conflicts.
Choice of colors and style
Children of different ages always have differences in interests, which cannot but affect the design of the room. However, in the case of cohabitation of two girls, it is not so difficult to find a compromise. Most often, color preferences coincide here and it remains only to combine two different styles. So, you can arrange the personal zones of each of the girls in a special way in accordance with their wishes. Another interesting option- horizontal division of space. For example, the lower tier will be wallpapered with cartoon characters, while the upper tier will be designed more seriously, focusing on the tastes of the older sister.
Another good option is a neutral room decor. Here you can use the favorite colors of both girls and select one for each empty wall so that they decorate them themselves with the help of mobile decor. So you can avoid unnecessary repair costs by changing the design as you grow up or at the request of the children.
Furniture selection
When you need to accommodate two children in one room, you will certainly face the problem of choosing a comfortable, ergonomic and compact furniture. This point needs to be considered very carefully. Today there is great amount multifunctional children's structures. Look at different collections and present them in your space. In addition, consider the possibility of making furniture to order. Do not rush to make a choice, consult with the children - often they can point out those moments that escape your attention.
Before buying beds, be sure to show them to the girls and get their opinion. When choosing cabinets, try to give preference to modular or built-in designs that save space. Don't forget separate bedside tables. Clothing can be stored in one closet, but there should also be space for personal items.
A few words about lighting
Natural light is very important for a good emotional state. Therefore, when arranging a children's room for two girls, try to arrange the furniture in such a way that there are no dark corners in the room. It is especially important to equally place the work surfaces so that they are equally well lit by the light from the window.
As for artificial light, there are standard rules. The room should be light enough for games, creativity and writing. Be sure to install additional lights in functional areas.
When a room for two girls of different ages is decorated in accordance with all the rules, the sisters' living in it becomes comfortable and convenient. Due to this, harmony in communication is achieved, and friendship is strengthened. Therefore, it is worth approaching this issue with all seriousness.
