A huge number of families with children live in one-room apartments, and in such housing conditions it is very difficult to divide the space so that everyone has their own personal corner. Zoning a room for parents and a child is, of course, a difficult task, but it can be solved. Its main principle is the division of the premises into an adult area and a nursery.
The children's corner should be located far from the door, as the children go to bed earlier, and get up later than their parents. For the same reason, it is better to put a good thick door in the kitchen, so that when you receive guests in the evenings, you can calmly conduct conversations.
Space division
Zoning of a room for parents and a child can be done in several ways:
- Sliding doors. This zoning option is most practical. Translucent doors even in the open position divide the room into two different spaces. This option is well suited if the child is already rather big and requires a more closed personal corner.
- Curtain. Zoning a room for a child with such an element, if necessary, can connect the entire room together, for example, for some kind of family celebration.
- Plasterboard partitions and arches are an ideal option to isolate the teenager’s personal space in a one-room apartment.
- Different levels of ceilings and raised floors. A variant of such zoning is suitable when the child is very small and must be in full view at all times.
- Arrangement of furniture. A bookcase, bookcase or locker will become a good border for a student. Zoning a room for parents and a child with the help of furniture, which will become a kind of partition, from the point of view of functionality is the best option.
Adult Zone
It is better to refuse a large double bed, it will not be as functional as a sofa on which you can just sit down to watch TV and receive guests, and in a saved place you can put a cabinet or a coffee table. A sofa niche is also useful for storing things. The wall opposite the sofa can be filled with narrow hinged shelves and, of course, a plasma panel.
Children area
A bed in the children's part of the room is required in the same way as a workplace, so it is better to choose compact furniture that takes up a minimum of space and contains everything. This may be a two-story structure, where on the second floor there is a bed, and on the first floor there is a table and a cabinet.
Design and layout tips
Having determined the boundaries of space, zoning of a room for parents and a child can be emphasized by color design. Let the parent part of the room be in restrained light colors, but it is better to fill part of the baby with bright colorful drawings. As for the decoration for older children, it is better to listen to the wishes of the owner of the children's zone so that he feels comfortable there.
