• If your child is under 3 years old, then it is better to hang all decorations high in such a way that he could not get them, but small toys are better not to use at all.
• Garlands must be chosen carefully: they must have high-quality connections and electrical cords so that the likelihood of a short circuit is minimal.
• Do not use fragile glass toys.
• There is clearly no place for burning candles in the scenery of a baby's room.

As you know, the interior of a boy's room should be designed, if not in strict, but calm colors. They also have a certain harmonious conciseness. You can choose, for example, the following design options:

winter blue. For boys, it is customary to select blue colors. Paying tribute to such a tradition, you can arrange a room in this color scheme. In addition, it will allow you to create a truly winter mood.

Bedding, rug, decorations and even the Christmas tree itself can be chosen in various shades of blue (blue, cobalt, sea, purple, cornflower blue, ultramarine, etc.) and white.

To emphasize and enrich the color scheme, you need to add a contrasting green or red.

Classic New Year. Style is impossible better fit just for the boy's room. Three primary colors will look "winning": brown, green and red. In principle, if the nursery has wooden furniture, then the question with brown will resolve itself.

• For example, if your child is fond of pirates or sea adventures, you can bring a piece of avant-garde to the decor: give the room the spirit of a pirate New Year, decorate the Christmas tree with steering wheels and boats, hang white and blue flags on the walls.
• If your boy likes space travel, invite him to decorate the nursery like a compartment on an intergalactic ship. And do it according to the traditions of earthlings - with a Christmas tree, toys and gifts.

For girls

Since girls love to feel like little princesses, the atmosphere of their nursery on New Year's Eve should be transformed accordingly and resemble a celebration in the elegant hall of the royal castle. Everything in it should be charming and attract attention.

or lilac.

If the rooms are such that they barely accommodate useful furniture, then you should not “steal” space from the family in order to arrange a holiday. When you have to make your way through a prickly obstacle all the time, the atmosphere in the house gradually thickens. Households will get tired of this festive obstacle.

What to do if there are children at home?

Most toddlers will constantly "study" new item environment. Therefore, it is imperative to secure it to avoid injury. In addition, toys in this case must be safe. Please note that even if you place the tree on the table so that the baby does not reach out, it is still necessary to fix it.

Of course, when there are children in the house, it is advisable to choose an artificial tree with soft needles. Decorate this with soft toys, then an accidental fall will not harm either the tree or the child. Don't forget to wash "last year's" Christmas tree. Otherwise, you will have to breathe the dust of the year before last!

Pay special attention electrical wires from garlands and other decorations. All of them must be isolated, working, located high above the floor. Do not forget about the curiosity and agility of offspring! Before you know it, they're already experimenting. And it might not be safe!
