Design Ideas for Teen Bedrooms

All parents of teenagers eventually face the daunting task of designing their child’s bedroom. A teenager’s ever-changing desires may not always align with your opinions or budget. However, you should keep in mind that a teenager’s bedroom is not just a place to sleep, it’s a haven, a place to study, read, listen to music, or entertain friends.

You don’t have to be scared by these aspects – with a cool discussion before you start decorating, everything can take on a different meaning. Everyone can come up with suggestions and the final plan will definitely be suitable for both the teenager and the parents. We have prepared some decorating ideas for a teenager’s room from our projects to inspire you.

Divide the room into different zones

Regardless of the bedroom’s size, it is essential to divide the room into several areas dedicated to daily activities: study area, relaxation area, rest/sleeping area. Smart storage solutions and multifunctional furniture pieces will help you divide the space into zones dedicated to each aforementioned activity.

Study zone – opt for a desk with enough drawers and storage spaces so that all textbooks, books and other office accessories are well organized; choose a chair that provides optimal comfort and helps maintain a proper posture at the desk. Above the desk, you can choose to mount shelves and bookcases that can be the ideal support for books, games, figurine collections or souvenirs.

Relaxing zone – for teenagers, relaxation usually means playing games on the console, on the computer, reading or listening to music. You can choose floor cushions or poufs that are extremely comfortable for a few hours of games or reading.. Even a bench next to the bed would be a great option. For girls, you can choose a make-up table.

Resting zone – the bed is where they sleep, but a teenager will often do homework there, sit on it with their outerwear, wear headphones, or call their friends. Therefore, in addition to the bedding, the bed needs a cover that is a natural continuation of the entire environment and, of course, decorative pillows. Whether you choose an upholstered bed or one with a wooden or metal frame, add a spacious bedside table with drawers next to it, and add a lamp for improvement.

A teenager’s room should be full of energy

Don’t try to go for neutral colors for a teen’s bedroom – this space should be brightly colored, but not necessarily all of it. You can opt for accent colors – a wall painted in a strong shade or a piece of furniture in a vibrant tone so that when you enter the room, it immediately catches your eye.

If in the past a teenager’s room was littered with posters attached all over the walls, now there is a much more practical solution – decorative wallpaper. It is quick to apply, easy to maintain and comes in a variety of patterns and colors.

Even a small bedroom can feel spacious

Even if the space available for a teenager’s room is not very generous, there are several tricks to make a room seem larger: choose large mirrors that you can place right on the cabinet doors – they will reflect the light and visually enlarge the space. A dressing table with a mirror, for example, can become the central element in a teenager’s room. Pastel shades for the walls are a better choice comparing to white. Another trick to visually enlarge the space would be to mount the curtain rail on the ceiling to make the room seem higher.

Our work – 4-Bedroom Apartment Design with Red Accents

Lately, we have been seeing a lot of open space homes, seamlessly connecting the living room and kitchen, as well as the hallway and living area. When spaces merge, the manner the home is divided matters a lot. The design must combine both the functional and the aesthetic aspects. Today, we want to showcase a 4-bedroom apartment in Dubai where the living room seamlessly connects to the kitchen, dining area, and hallway. Thus, the living room is the main part of the entire home and from here the other functions merge. The owners, a family with a 16-year-old child, wanted a modern design, with color accents, a decor that reflects their cheerful personality. Let’s see what tricks we had applied and the result that we obtained.

The entrance hall to the house is equipped with custom-made white furniture, a dressing room with elegant accents placed on the entire wall. From here we started to integrate red as an accent shade, a color that we used in most of the rooms. In the hallway we opted for a red armchair, with velvet upholstery, thus giving the setting a sophisticated and precious design. Behind the armchair we placed a hidden wall of large mirrors that separate the hallway from the living space (living room, dining area and kitchen).

In order to keep the coherence throughout the entire decor, we especially paid attention to the color scheme in living room – we opted for neutral shades mixed with red accents. Due to the reason that a completely red sofa can be too much for an open space, we chose a custom corner model, with a chaise longue and red decorative pillows. To organize the space, we opted for minimalist furniture, in simple and straight lines – it is a detail that enhance the way we perceive the space. The bookcase behind the sofa was strategically placed to define the room’s corner and create a smooth transition to the hallway.

The dining area is marked by the suspended light fixture and burgundy curtains that connect with the rest of the living space, but without letting the accent color dominate the space. Besides that, the dining area is minimalist, with gray chairs and a glass-topped table, for an orderly environment.

The kitchen was designed compactly, with white, minimalist, handleless furniture, enhanced by two burgundy-red stripes. The furniture was mounted on two rows of cabinets – lower and upper. Between the two rows of cabinets we chose to tile the wall with a red glass panel as a backsplash, to give a unified touch to the entire decor. In order not to clutter the space, we chose to incorporate all the household appliances.

The master bedroom is decorated in neutral tones of gray and white, with accents of pink and burgundy. We opted for an upholstered bed for added comfort and elegance. In the window area we arranged a reading zone with a minimalist armchair in gray tones. The bedroom is equipped with a custom-made, floor-to-ceiling wardrobe, designed to create the impression of a wall paneling and to avoid overcrowding the space.

The child’s bedroom, a 16-year-old boy, was designed as both a resting space and an area for studying and recreation. We chose a generous desk and a comfortable chair, an upholstered bed and a floor-to-ceiling wardrobe. We chose a decor in blue and white tones, with the wall behind the bed featuring a decorative photo wallpaper of a world map in blue tones, harmonizing with the wall by the window.

Relaxation room can be considered a guest room or an office as well. We chose a green-red-white color scheme here. The key element in the room is the green wall, next to which we positioned the red armchair with velvet upholstery.

The end result is a harmonious environment, arranged coherently and unitarily. Everything is well organized, simple and functional, adapted to the needs and preferences of the owners.

Our work – Bathroom Design – 8 Ideas from Our Projects

The bathroom is the house’s place where you start and end your day, so you need to pay close attention to its design if you want an efficiently organized space. The bathroom allows you to be creative regarding its design, from the color palette to the furniture, finishes and sanitary ware, regardless of the size of the space. Nowadays, a bathroom represents organization, functionality, simplicity, a harmonious and well-structured space. We have prepared an article with 8 bathroom design ideas from our projects.

Compact bathroom

This bathroom is placed on the ground floor of a house in Dubai. Given its compact size, we opted for white, glossy finishes to reflect light and provide the illusion of a larger space. The walk-in shower was the ideal solution in arranging this bathroom. We chose solar yellow as a color accent, which is reflected in the rug placed in front of the sink.

Small Bathroom – Home Design Project in Dubai

Small Bathroom with Ceramic Finishes

A bathroom with ceramic finishes in beige tones, both on the floor and on the walls. Because the space is not generous enough, we opted for a walk-in shower, toilet and washbasin equipped with suspended furniture in an anthracite gray shade.

Bathroom with White Finishes and Wood-Like Textures

This bathroom was designed with white finishes and wood-like textures used for both the floor and the furniture. For the sink area, we chose a built-in and suspended storage space. The tiling in the shower area was designed to give the space a sense of depth.

Bathroom Designed in Classic Lines

A bathroom decorated in classic lines, with ceramic finishes in a light beige shade, free standing bathtub, walk-in shower and straight-lined washbasin with white furniture. The highlights of the bathroom are the mirror in the washbasin area and the wall in the shower area finished with metallic mosaic, thus providing the bathroom with a dynamic look.

Minimalist Bathroom

A simple and minimalist bathroom with ceramic finishes, but the wall in the bathtub area has wood-like finishes, which gives the bathroom a special look. The white furniture with milled handles was designed to offer maximum storage. The wooden accents on the furniture provide the space with a graphic and orderly appearance.

Bathroom with Ceramic Finishes

This bathroom features grey ceramic finishes, with the wall behind the tub adorned with striped ceramic tiles in two shades, namely grey and white, adding a touch of dynamism. We opted for white furniture with wooden accents, offering maximum storage and functionality.

Bathroom with Terrazzo Finishes

The design of this bathroom features a built-in bathtub – we opted for terrazzo for the bathtub and for the wall behind it. As for the furniture in the washbasin area, a suspended model was chosen so as to visually enlarge the space, visually enhancing the floor. Also to visually enlarge the space and for brightness as well, we selected ceramic parquet flooring and white walls.

A bathroom treated neatly and simply, with special finishes. We chose ceramic tiles in gray tones for the floor and walls, adding white sanitary ware. Having to deal with a bathroom with a fairly large surface area, we also opted for generous storage spaces, made of wood.

How to Use Natural Materials in Interior Design

The house is the place where we spend most of our time, it is the place where we rest, eat, relax, invite our friends or even work. That is why it is very important that the decisions regarding your home are as practical as possible and provide solutions for a long period of time.

To ensure that the furniture and decor in your home are durable and as practical as possible, you must consider the materials you choose to decorate your house. The ones we recommend are natural materials – wood, stone, metal. We will talk about each one in the following lines.

Whether we are talking about wood, natural stone or metal, natural materials will always give your home a sophisticated air but also the feeling of a well-organized space. Moreover, natural materials integrate perfectly into the design style you choose: if you want an industrial interior, opt for metal elements, such as a bookcase, dining chairs or coffee table. If the rustic style is what you prefer, then wooden furniture is the ideal choice. You can choose walnut or oak wood, and the furniture will not only last over time but will also remain timeless in style.

Wood is probably the most used material in interior and exterior design projects: from the construction of the house or interior stairs to the furniture pieces, wood adds a noble and charming air to the environment. Wood can be incorporated into nearly any design style. It’s highly versatile, sustainable, offering a wide range of textures and colors to choose from.

Stone is the ideal choice if you want to create a modern or minimalist interior, especially if you opt for dark shades. There is a wide range of types of natural stone on the market that you can use especially for flooring, walls or kitchen countertops, coffee tables (marble, granite, basalt, ceramic) – the ideal solution if you want an interior whose appearance will withstand the passage of time.

Metal is a very versatile natural material in interior design and can be easily integrated into many project styles, from industrial and modern to traditional and minimalist. Metal is an extremely durable material, being a great support for heavy elements, which makes it ideal for various pieces of furniture, such as bookcases, beds, dining tables or chairs. Metal comes in a variety of colors – for an industrial or minimalist interior choose black metal to combine with wood, while for a modern or elegant interior, you should choose bronze variants of metal.

If so far we have talked about furniture and finishes made from natural materials, it is time to focus on textiles made from natural materials. Instead of classic curtains, choose those made of linen, opt for cotton for the bed linens, and choose wool for the blankets and rugs.

Our Work – How We Designed a Three-Room Apartment for Rent

We recently completed a design project for a three-bedroom apartment in Dubai, an apartment exclusively for rent through Airbnb. The owners wanted a cozy interior, with personality, nothing too stuffy, but which would still meet the needs of the tourists who choose to stay here. We took all these aspects into account and thought of a decor through which every corner of the apartment would convey a sense of well-being.

The apartment has a generous living room, which we decorated in cozy manner, with ambient lighting, and as a personalization touch, we opted for an accent shade – dark green.

Also in the living room, we organized a relaxation space and a dining area. The blending of the wood-ribbed wall, the white brick veneer, the chairs and the dining table gives the entire living room an industrial feel.

The sofa that we chose is extendable, so if needed, it can become a sleeping place.

The two bedrooms were designed in an industrial style, with the plants, decorations and small accents bringing a unique touch to the rooms.

For the first bedroom, we opted for red brick plywood for the wall behind the bed, black metal nightstands and a black metal bed frame. Ambient lighting plays an important role as well here, creating a cozy atmosphere.

For the second bedroom, we chose white as the predominant shade. We opted for white brick veneer for the wall behind the bed, while for the furniture, we chose all white – a bed with a white metal frame, white metal nightstands, wardrobes and a desk, thus creating a bright and airy space. For the wall in front of the bed, we selected a shade of blue to create a peaceful and calm atmosphere, perfect for a bedroom.

The kitchen is furnished with the bare necessities of a rental apartment. We chose to position the furniture in the lower area. The wall in the upper area was decorated with a patchwork tile pattern, which we used in the bathroom as well.

The bathroom was decorated with white finishes for more brightness and spaciousness – wooden furniture, white subway tiles, white sanitary ware and a walk-in shower. For a touch of dynamism, we opted for a patchwork style ceramic cladding in the shower area, motifs that are also found in the kitchen.

Balcony Storage – Tips and Tricks

The balcony is, for many of us, that place in the house that we want to arrange in a manner that fulfills both the functional and aesthetic aspects. We want the balcony to be a pleasant environment, a place to relax, but also a place where we can store things that we don’t use so often. To combine the useful with the pleasant, you have to organize the space you benefit from very well, regardless of whether we are talking about a small or large, closed or open balcony. And also, keep in mind the aesthetic side of the space.

We’re here to help with some tips and ideas on how to organize your balcony storage so that you can enjoy a pleasant and welcoming environment, but also a functional space for smart storage.

Open Balcony – Tips for a Successful Design

An open balcony is an easy space to arrange, but you need to take into account a few details that will help you have a beautiful balcony all year round – if during the warm season the open balcony is the ideal place to drink your coffee or relax, during the cold seasons it will be a bit more difficult to keep it clean and tidy, but also to protect the furniture you choose.
– As much as possible, avoid wooden furniture and choose materials that are resistant to moisture and adverse weather conditions. Also, avoid textiles because they will deteriorate quite quickly;

– An open balcony is the ideal place to decorate with many plants and flowers, thus creating a welcoming environment;

– Set up a relaxation corner, with armchairs and a sofa, stools and a coffee table to enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner (or all 3 meals, why not?) on the balcony;

– For storage, you can choose a wardrobe made of a resistant material or chests that you can decorate with flower pots or other outdoor decorations;
– To save space, choose a clothes dryer that you can fix to the wall or ceiling.

Enclosed Balcony – Ideas and Tips for Smart Design

A closed balcony offers you the opportunity to arrange it in a much more varied way than an open balcony, especially because you can choose furniture from any material. Below you will find some ideas and tips for arranging a closed balcony.
– Play with color schemes, choose cheerful colors, opt for lots of plants and arrange a place to relax with a comfortable armchair or sofa.

– The closed balcony is ideal for arranging a closet-type storage space in a corner – opt for shelves and racks to organize everything you want. A shelf in a neutral color or made of wood, to which you can tie a linen curtain in a simple color will help you arrange the storage space as organized as possible;
– In a closed balcony you can arrange a dressing room or a storage space for the clothes you don’t wear that season. For the dressing room, choose a wardrobe that matches the dimensions of the space you have. For the clothes you don’t need every day, opt for a chest of drawers and, eventually, put the clothes in vacuum bags to save space;

– The enclosed balcony is ideal for storing things that you don’t have room for in the house – vacuum cleaner, Christmas tree ornaments, etc. For these, choose a cabinet with shelves and doors – you don’t want to have all these objects on display because they will visually clutter the space.

A pleasant atmosphere at your home should also be felt in the balcony space. Get inspired by our tips and ideas and adapt them to your needs – successful balcony storage will help you create an airy and organized environment.

Our Work – Bedroom Design: Six Ideas from Our Projects

The way you make your bed is the way you sleep – says a popular saying. Nothing could be more true! Starting from the bed and ending with the lighting, curtains or decorations, the story of the bedroom begins the moment you start designing the space. And because the atmosphere in a room influences your mood, everything must be in harmony, especially if the bedroom is not very spacious. We have prepared six ideas for arranging the bedroom from our projects, which we hope will be a source of inspiration for you.

Classic-Style Bedroom with Walk-In Closet

In this bedroom, we chose white as the dominant color, while the velvet-upholstered bed, mirror, bench at the foot of the bed, nightstand finishes, and chandeliers enhance the classic design. For the wall behind the bed, we chose a pink decorative paint that perfectly complements the entire decor. The bedroom also features a walk-in dressing room with wardrobes spanning the entire width and length of the walls. One side is fitted with wardrobes with white doors, while the other has sliding wardrobes concealed with mirrors.

Bedroom Designed in Classic Lines – Home Design Project in Dubai

 

Simply and Minimally Designed Bedroom

For this bedroom, we chose ribbed paneling for the wall behind the bed, creating a contrast with the adjacent walls on both sides. This adds a touch of refinement while maintaining a restful, welcoming, and airy atmosphere. The mirrors applied to the wooden ribbing provide depth to the space and visually enlarge it. The bed has a simple and contemporary shape, being upholstered for added comfort. On the floor, the carpet is asymmetrical in relation to the ribbing behind the bed, but symmetrical with the gray wall.

Small but Well-Organized Bedroom

Being a small apartment bedroom, we wanted to combine functionality with aesthetics, but also to take advantage of every square inch of the room by creating a bright atmosphere. The warm shades of green, the white shade of the furniture and the generous window contribute to creating an airy, restful and welcoming environment. The bed is embedded in the white furniture with green accents, with milled handles, which give the feeling of order.

Bedroom with Wood and Velvet Accents

For this bedroom we chose custom-made furniture, the color scheme in this room being based on white, gray and wooden textures. The customization was achieved through the use of decorative objects. The work area is furnished strictly necessary and can serve as both a desk and a dressing table. The bed is framed in white suspended bodies that continue with wooden suspended bedside tables. Through the shade of the bed upholstery, a new color, pale pink, was introduced into the environment, which perfectly complements the decor.

Bright and Modern Bedroom with Blue Accents

This bedroom’s design was intended to be bright, with an imposing bed with personality. We opted for a modern design, and the bed with royal blue upholstery brings a glam and elegant touch to the room. We opted for industrial accents, using a concrete-effect paint for the wall behind the bed, thus bringing visual harmony to the room. To preserve the spaciousness and brightness of the room, we opted for compact furniture, without overloading the space.

Classic-Style Bedroom with Elegant and Scandinavian Accents

The design of this bedroom was elaborated to continue the design line of the entire house – we notice here Scandinavian elements combined in the most natural way with elements specific to a classic interior. For the walls we chose a more special color – copper – to complement the decor. The gray bed and the make-up table are chosen in the same Nordic style. We chose to finish the design with a few more special elements – the bedside tables and the mirror – elements that bring an extra elegance to the room.

Guide for Organizing the Walk-in Closet

A welcoming and harmonious home is based on efficient organization. When we talk about organizing objects in the house, we must also take into account clothing items because, even if you don’t realize it at the moment, they can take up more space than you would have imagined. Therefore, the best thing to do is to organize all clothing items, shoes, accessories, bags and other clothing items in a carefully thought-out and specially arranged space. Today we are talking about the dressing room, that space specially designed for storing clothing items.

Whether we are talking about a separate room, an area in the bedroom or another corner of the house, the dressing room helps you save time every day and have access to any piece of clothing you want, without having to take half of the things out of the closet. However, for a well-organized dressing room, you need to consider several aspects: the place and its available space, the way to organize the clothes, the furniture pieces and the lighting. Therefore, we have prepared a series of tips and ideas for an efficient organization of the dressing room, regardless of its size.

Organizing and Designing the Walk-in Closet Based on Size

Surely each of us wants a large, spacious dressing room, with lots of storage and organization space, but this type of dressing room is suitable and possible only in a very large house or apartment. The size of a dressing room must be adapted to the dimensions of the home: however, do not see this as an issue – you will be surprised how efficient a medium or small-sized dressing room can be.

A large dressing room is, more precisely, a separate room, specially organized for storing clothing, shoes, bags and accessories. A large dressing room can be arranged exactly as you wish. Basically, you are decorating and arranging a new room in your home. However, we recommend that you focus on the same style of arrangement that you chose for the rest of the home. A large dressing room gives you the opportunity to add a personal touch and create a special atmosphere with the help of decorative objects and furniture: coffee table, armchairs or a sofa, flowers, lamps.

A small dressing room is usually an area in a specific room, such as a bedroom, hallway or even a balcony. The most classic small dressing rooms are equipped with floor-to-ceiling cabinets with mirrored doors. We recommend that you take into account the dimensions of the room where you will place such a wardrobe and also the compartmentalization of the wardrobe. An efficient small dressing room must be as well compartmentalized as possible in order to provide maximum storage and functionality.

Designing the Walk-in Closet Based on Its Type

Dressing room in a dedicated room – we have already talked about this type of dressing room in the previous lines, as it is only feasible in a house or a spacious apartment. The advantage of this type of dressing room is that you can create an excellent atmosphere by integrating furniture pieces and decorations.

Bedroom closet – one of the most common rooms for arranging a small dressing room, the bedroom can solve the problem of organizing clothing items – opt for a floor-to-ceiling wardrobe, located on the entire surface of a wall. To visually enlarge the space, you can decorate the wardrobe doors with mirrors.

Closet in the hallway – if you live in an apartment where the bedroom is not very spacious, not allowing you to place a large wardrobe, we recommend that you look at the hallway from a different perspective: you can highlight one of the hallway walls by placing a floor-to-ceiling wardrobe with sliding doors and large mirrors.

Attic dressing room – whether you have your bedroom in the attic or you use the space for a library as well, the attic dressing room is the ideal solution to create a relaxing and welcoming, but also functional place. Opt for wardrobes, open shelves or whatever option best integrates into the space you benefit from.

Tips for organizing your dressing room

Regardless of the area, room, or space you have for your dressing room, it’s a good idea to keep a few tips in mind before starting the arrangement:

–           Measure the space several times – you need to know the exact dimensions of the space where you will place the dressing room to avoid the unpleasant surprise that it won’t fit or that it will take up too much space;

–           Draw a sketch of the dressing room you want and think about the compartmentalization, placement and design;

–            Make sure that the dressing room integrates into the decor of the house, both in terms of design and style, as well as size.

 

Tips for organizing clothes in the dressing room

–           Place the clothes you wear frequently in a visible area;

–           Organize clothes by season or, if space allows, by color and texture;

–           If the dressing room is shared by all family members, delimit each area very well;

–           Choose diversity: hangers, shoe organizers, drawer organizers, shelves, etc.;

–           Store socks and underwear in drawers or cotton bags;

–           Organize shoes and accessories separately from clothing items.

Take our advice into account, consider all the necessary aspects and you will surely succeed in setting up a functional dressing room that will help you save space and time, but also be an ally in maintaining order.

Cottagecore Style in Interior Design – The Trend of the Summer of 2021

The time spent more at home has made us understand how important comfort and functionality are inside. However, these are not enough and you have surely felt the need to put your own stamp and personality in redecorating the house.

This is how the cottagecore style became popular, a design style that takes you back to your grandparents’ simple, rustic homes, natural materials, floral prints, and vintage furniture. The cottagecore style is based on comfort, light colors, simplicity, harmony, functionality, highlighting an airy, welcoming space. Cottagecore is a design style that helps you get back to nature or get closer to nature, emphasizing natural materials such as wood, linen, and cotton.

The cottagecore style encompasses influences from several design styles, such as vintage, French, shabby chic, English, or Victorian. In this article, we have prepared some cottagecore home design tips to inspire you.

Color Scheme in Warm and Light Tones

 Cottagecore is all about light, lots of light, and light shades play a huge role in this style. White is the predominant color, but you can also opt for pale yellow, beige, or orange, shades that you can combine with pale pink, pale green, or blue.

Wood – The Central Element

Wood is the main feature of the cottagecore style of decoration, whether we are talking about furniture, decorations and ornaments, ceilings or walls. Paneling is an important part of the architecture of this style, which can be used in covering the ceiling and floor, as well as the walls.

Decorative Objects and Vintage Details

Cottagecore style is characterized by a simple and airy atmosphere, but ornaments and decorations should not be there too. Choose vintage vases, small paintings, wicker baskets, wool rugs, linen curtains. For a chic air in the kitchen, you can opt for vintage-style appliances, such as a toaster or oven.

Lighting is also extremely important in the cottagecore atmosphere, so opt for chandeliers or light fixtures made of painted or natural materials.

Floral Accents

Whether we are talking about a sofa for the living room, curtains or bed linen for the bedroom, a carpet or a wall decorated with decorative wallpaper, the floral print should not be missing from this arrangement.

It’s not difficult at all to decorate your home in the cottagecore style. This style is suitable for both houses and apartments, and with a few details that make a difference, you can transform your home into a welcoming environment.

The basic principles of decorating a child’s room according to the Montessori method can be successfully used in every home, and we have prepared a guide that we hope will help you.

The bed positioned at ground level – you can opt for a mattress that you place directly on the floor or you can choose a very low bed. A bed positioned at ground level gives the child a feeling of independence and the freedom to discover things around him without being confined by the bars of a regular crib and, very importantly, without the risk of getting hurt. A very low bed or a mattress placed directly on the floor will help the child learn to climb in and out of bed by himself and will give him the idea that he can lie down alone when he is sleepy and wake up alone to explore things around him. If you still want to opt for a bed and not a simple mattress, there are several options of very low beds on the market, in the form of a canopy or a house.

Open shelves – open shelves and floating shelves are an important part of the Montessori method. By opting for them, the child will have the opportunity to choose his own toys and activities, without being influenced. Moreover, you can arrange the toys and books on the shelves at intervals so that the little one has time to discover and explore each object.

Furniture adjusted to the child’s height – according to the Montessori method, any furniture in the little one’s room must be adjusted to the child’s height. So, choose a chair or armchair suitable for his size, a small desk and a learning tower. The child’s objects must always be within reach so that he can choose them without needing the help of an adult and, thus, take steps towards independence.

Mirror – an important detail in the little one’s room, the mirror should be placed at the child’s height. Looking in the mirror, the child will learn movements and facial expressions, an important part of healthy development.

Choose natural materials – one of the basic rules in Montessori design is to choose exclusively natural materials. Opt for wooden furniture, while for textiles, opt for cotton, linen or wool. For the walls, choose washable non-toxic or decorative wallpaper with a graphic in the educational area: world map, animals, plants, birds.

Color scheme – because a Montessori room is designed exclusively with natural materials, choosing a color range comes naturally: simple and warm tones of beige, gray, pastel green, blue, pale pink. If you still want a few more contrasting colors, choose to include them in toys and decorations.
