Many people think that it is impossible to make a comfortable nursery from a small room in which the baby will enjoy being. But this is not so: even a room in a standard Khrushchev can be turned into a room ideal for games, relaxation and creativity. To do this, you need to carefully think through the layout, use every square centimeter of space, choose the right furniture and try not to clutter the space with unnecessary objects.

What you need to know about planning
The layout and zoning of the nursery depends on how many people it is intended for. But even the smallest room should be divided into four parts. These are the areas where the child will:
- sleep;
- do homework and create;
- play and do exercises;
- have fun with friends.
You can set the designer the following task: a children's room in a Khrushchev-era building with layout options. But you can save money, study photos of a variety of rooms and come up with your own design option.

If two children live there, the location of the zones needs to be thought out even more carefully. Each child should have personal space and a place to sleep. A real find for Khrushchev apartments is a double bed. You can also order a shared work desk with a long tabletop, and there can be a shared space for games and entertaining guests.
In a room for two, each person should have their own sleeping place. You can put a bunk bed or separate two regular beds with a wardrobe.

The layout of the zones needs to be thought out carefully. The sleeping area should be as comfortable and safe as possible. And in the working room it is necessary to install additional lighting and place it near the window. The center of the room will be the play space. To have as much of it as possible, it is recommended to use transformable furniture.

Where the girl will live, everything must meet the requirements of the little lady. A wide velvety chair and a high soft bed will fit well here.
Battered pink can be diluted with olive and white. Or you can completely abandon it in favor of new interesting shades.
It is better if your daughter has her own private corner where her dolls, daughters or fairy-tale animals live. A nursery for a girl in Khrushchev is a small island of tenderness.Zoning options
Today, lighting or finishing materials of different colors are often used to divide into zones. But this solution is more suitable for a living room or bedroom, and in a nursery, the space needs to be separated by physical objects or partitions - this way the child will be more calm and comfortable in the nursery.

To zone a room you can use the following:
- curtains;
- screens;
- plasterboard partitions;
- cabinets and racks;
- sliding partitions;
- podium.

Some people think that installing additional structures will make the room smaller. Of course, a partition or screen will take up several square centimeters. But whether it will visually reduce the space depends on its color, location and size. If you choose the right screens and curtains, it will not become smaller. On the contrary, such zoning will make the interior more logical and understandable.
To divide the space, you can use curtains, screens, cabinets and plasterboard partitions

Decor
A children's bedroom in Khrushchev can be made in various styles, but only natural materials must be used for decoration.
After all, their quality directly affects the health of your children. The leading criteria for flooring are to be highly durable and wear-resistant, while the quality cannot be doubted for a minute.
When decorating walls, it is very important to avoid aggressive shades that will irritate the child’s eyes and fragile psyche. It is better to choose paper wallpaper; it will allow the surface to breathe.
If we are talking about painting, then only water-based paint. It is important to ensure that all materials have passed sanitary, hygienic and environmental controls.

How to divide a room with screens
This option was invented many centuries ago in the East. Modern designers also actively use this technique. After all, there is nothing easier than dividing space with the help of a mobile stylish screen.

They are made from rice paper, wood, plastic, glass. For a child's room, you need to choose a durable model made from safe materials. Paper may tear, glass may break, but plastic will survive impacts and falls.

You can hide a bed behind a screen. The structure slides apart before going to bed, and the rest of the time it can stand assembled against the wall or in a closet. If two people live in the nursery, you can also use a screen to fence off the desk. Products can be the same color as the walls, or vice versa, contrasting.

Room design for a teenage boy - 3 approaches
There may be 3 opinions on the final design of a boy's teenage room. She may like:
- To parents.
- To the designer.
- To the guy himself.
Returning to the photo from the beginning.
Fashionable style, cool chandelier, Avengers photo wallpaper from the Marvel comics universe, which is now in trend. But I continue to argue that although most teenage boys can only dream of this, it can be done better. Patience. Let's look at an example that a designer would like.
Even I, as a lover of modern design trends, have to admit that this interior is very balanced. Selection of furniture, combination of pastel colors, perfectly seasoned light Provence.
But who needs it? Is this a boy's room or a designer's portfolio? This entire perfectly maintained style will not allow you to make any changes, will not allow you to adapt the environment to your taste.
Therefore, here is the ideal children's room design for a teenage boy:
There is no decor or accessories - the design was left to the young man himself. That's why the first 2 are bad - in them the parents entered the teenager's territory.
Good news: parents will still have to be responsible for the most important things
Competent planning
And in a nursery for teenagers this is harder than in any other room, and therefore the entire last point of the material will be about this. Plan out all the electrical equipment: sockets, switches, lighting (the latter is very important). Choose furniture. Do all the finishing... In short, everything except the decor
In short, everything except the decor.
But what if you know your son's tastes and interests and can create a cool themed design right away?
You don’t know and no one knows. Today he is interested in one thing, tomorrow another. Interests change very quickly. Therefore, by the way, I do not recommend using photo wallpaper. Then you can’t hang anything on the wall with them - it’s too risky and an aggressive design option.
The finish should be such that anything can fit into the interior:
- Posters and placards.
- Musical instruments or sports equipment (yes, this is also decor for a teenage boy).
- Any garbage that has some kind of history associated with it and therefore has value.
And this 3rd point is very important. It’s things like this with history that make you feel like you have your own corner, your own cozy den.
And since these unpredictable accessories can have the same colors, the initial background of the design must be made, firstly, neutral (gray, white, black, wood), and secondly, contrasting. Those. that example above and this photo below are perfect nursery backdrops for teenage boys.
These options are also good, but they lack a little contrast:
Zoning the space with curtains
In a child's room, curtains can be placed not only on the windows. Using dense pieces of material, divide the space into several zones. The canopy can be hung over the perimeter of the bed. For girls, curtains made of translucent fabric are suitable, but boys need to choose something more “brutal.”
The easiest way to divide the space is with fabric. No need to build drywall walls or assemble a closet. It is enough to find high-quality curtains that will not allow light to pass through.
Children's room in Khrushchev is narrow
Using curtains you can divide a room into two parts. One will have a work desk and a bed, and the other will have a play area and a place for entertaining guests. So, with the help of curtains you can separate and hide your personal space from prying eyes. To decorate a nursery, you need to choose only fabrics made from natural materials. Linen or cotton, decorated with bright patterns, are suitable. It is better to choose a light fabric - it will make the nursery seem more spacious.
To a growing man
But a boy’s nursery in a Khrushchev building definitely needs to be decorated in an exciting way. Sports equipment must be present here, and more than one.
It would be great if the bedroom is made in one theme. It is important that the room has drawers, niches or cells for balls, skittles, tennis rackets, etc.
What little boy doesn’t like to travel, so hang up a map of the world for him, the size of the entire wall.

Installing plasterboard partitions
You can also zone a child’s room using plasterboard partitions. You just need to build not a blank wall, but make it with through windows. With this design, like curtains, the space can be divided into two parts. Windows are left in the partition so that light spreads evenly throughout the room and there is no darkness near the door.
Plasterboard partitions are suitable for all interiors. So that they do not interfere with the spread of daylight, they must be made with windows.
The openings can be left through or stained glass windows can be inserted into them. If the windows in such a partition remain empty, they should be used as shelves for small items. Place books, toys, boxes, photo frames there. It’s not worth filling such niches completely, but they need to be used. Additional light sources can be installed inside the plasterboard partition. With them the interior will be even more comfortable.

Design of a small apartment of 30 sq. m in Khrushchev
1. Clear the aisles
The space between rooms should be free. The corridors should not be blocked; there should be enough space for free movement and light penetration.
2. Get rid of furniture
Disclaimer - against unnecessary furniture. The ally of small apartments in Khrushchev-era buildings is space. Reduce the number of pieces of furniture that are rarely used or replace them with more multifunctional designs.
3. Increase the amount of light
The more natural sunlight, the larger the room will appear. White color reflects more light than dark colors, which is why the milky palette is so often used when decorating small rooms. Use glossy surfaces, pictures in glass frames in dark areas of the room (they also reflect light).
Space in Khrushchev buildings should be used to the maximum.
4. Bet on multifunctional furniture
If you are just choosing new furniture, take a closer look at modular designs that can perform several functions. For example, for a bedroom you can choose a bed with sections for storage, an ottoman with a lift-up lid where you can store cosmetics, and a folding table.
A small table that can be lowered to the wall if necessary is also perfect for the kitchen.
If you are receiving guests in the hall, then pay attention to the folding table, which can also be used for working on a laptop

6. Add colorful textiles
If your small Khrushchev apartment is decorated in light neutral colors, colorful textiles will help add coziness. You don't have to choose bright fabrics
It is important to choose curtains, bedspreads, and roller blinds that will harmonize with the overall design. For example, an interior decoration in milky coffee tones can be yellow or wine-colored curtains, in combination with which you can choose lampshades or furniture
Textiles are easy to replace, so with their help you can quickly and more cost-effectively (compared to repairing or buying new furniture) update your interior.
7. Use the hallway
If possible, place an XXL size cabinet in the hallway (along one of the walls). It can have open and closed sections. If possible, unload the space in the rooms.
8. Hide the cistern
It can be mounted into the wall, which will give an additional 15 - 20 cm.
Shelving and cabinets in the interior
A plasterboard partition can be replaced with a cabinet or shelving unit. Furniture can be used to separate an area with a computer desk or bed. If the rack will not stand near the wall, but across it, it should be without a back wall, through.

It is not recommended to use cabinets that have a back wall to divide space. Because they clutter the room and interfere with the spread of light and air.
Choose cabinets with end-to-end storage systems. It's rational and convenient. You can put books and all sorts of small things on the top shelves, and cardboard or plastic boxes with things on the bottom.

Design
The world of every child is fantasy, a touch of magic, everyday adventures, new knowledge, true friends, small and great joys, and sometimes grievances.
The world of our offspring is a storm of emotions, faith in miracles and boundless love for life. Based on this, we create a room with light and warm energy.
For a merry and mischievous person who loves adventure, an option associated with a marine theme, with space, or a room decorated in bright green or orange colors will be suitable. Classic shades will come in handy for a sweet and gentle lady.
An inquisitive child will appreciate the magnetic board, which occupies an impressive section of the wall. A preschooler will be delighted to see cartoon characters. The design of a children's room in Khrushchev can be varied.
Placing the podium
Installing a podium in a child’s room is another way to divide it into zones. It can be installed near one of the walls or near a window. A bed is most often placed on the podium, which is additionally covered with a canopy.

This space can also be used as a work area. A table with a computer, a chair, and a bookcase with books are placed here. The podium acts as an additional storage system. A closed space appears under it, which can be used for boxes with out-of-season clothes, books, toys and other things that are not used every day. The design must be strong and reliable.

What to do with a small hallway
The hallway in the Khrushchev building is not far from the bathroom along the area allocated for it. The most unpleasant thing in the interior of any corridor, of course, which is not combined with the living room, is the lack of a source of natural light. Knowing about this drawback, you need to try to eliminate it and use powerful lamps for illumination.
- If redevelopment is being carried out, then you need to provide a niche in which you can install a small closet or hanger for outerwear;
- Otherwise, it is better to limit yourself to the following pieces of furniture - a shoe cabinet, a floor hanger, a mirror, a pouf or a small bench;
- It is better to keep the interior of the hallway in light colors;
- The space above the front door can be used for mezzanines, where it is convenient to store shoes in boxes;
- By the way, the front door itself can be used as a clothes hanger by screwing a couple of hooks to it.
Making sliding partitions
The operating principle of most sliding partitions is the same as that of wardrobe doors. Metal rails are attached to the floor and ceiling, into which a panel of wood or MDF is inserted.

Partitions can be placed in the center of the room, dividing it into two parts, or you can separate one of the functional areas. To make the room seem larger, one of them can be made mirrored or frosted glass. This is a good option for a teenager's room. If a small child lives in the nursery, then it is better to abandon such an idea - it is too dangerous.

Sliding partitions take up less space than plasterboard or shelving. But they have a drawback - they cannot be used as a storage system. And in Khrushchev it is extremely important that every centimeter of space is used functionally. Therefore, you can install folding partitions that work on the accordion principle. But this will require building a plasterboard wall, which is not always suitable for a small room. Sliding partitions are suitable for a nursery in which two children live: if necessary, they can isolate themselves from each other.

Style and color solutions
Bright colors are used for accessories and other details
The wallpaper is chosen to be light and expand the room. If you want to highlight one wall as the main one, you can choose a color lighter or darker than the background.
For a girl's bedroom, pastel colors of pink, lilac or olive are suitable.
For the bedroom, girls traditionally choose light pink shades
For boys - metallic, blue or green. For children of different sexes, choose calm colors: light beige, sand, cream, light gray, white.
Blue colors and themed designs are good for a boy.
It is important to choose the right shade of wallpaper. Sometimes they are combined by choosing different colors and textures. This way you can divide the room into two zones (if two children live in the bedroom).
Vertical striped wallpaper and a snow-white ceiling are a way to expand the space.
The color of wallpaper has an impact on the child's psyche.
Curtains should be light and light. The print is chosen at the request of the child. Girls often prefer a romantic style, patterns, and geometric shapes. Boys love space, geography and sports themes.
Wall decor can be used in both a boy’s and a girl’s room
Arrangement of furniture in a one-room apartment with a nursery
A difficult task faces the owners of one-room apartments, who also need to create a children’s room in this room. The best solution is to zone the space. Here the child must have his own corner, in which there is a place for a bed and a table.

Children's room in Khrushchev themed
You can equip a children's space near the window. Place a table next to the window sill, a bed next to it and fence off the space with a screen or shelving with through shelves. This corner should be illuminated as much as possible, so you will need a wall lamp or sconce here. The place for receiving guests will be shared between the child and parents. Usually this is the area near the TV.
Even in one room, you can divide the space into children's and parent's areas. You just need to plan the interior correctly.
Using a closet you can also divide the only room in the apartment into space for adults and children. In the parental area there is a bed and a convenient wall in which equipment is placed. Next to the bed you can place a table with a computer.

In the children's area, a bed is placed on one wall, a wardrobe on the other, and the window sill is converted into a table. It is better to divide the space with a shelving unit, which can also be used for storing things. To make both parents and child feel more comfortable, you can use sliding partitions or opaque curtains to divide the room.

In the children's room you also need to arrange the furniture correctly. The table is placed opposite the window or near the wall so that the light falls from the left side. You can also leave space near the window for games and meetings with guests. And the bed can be moved to a darker part of the room, closer to the door. But the child will read here, so there must be a lamp above the bed. Cabinets are also moved closer to the entrance. When they stand near the window, the room immediately becomes smaller.

For a room in a one-room apartment and for a separate nursery, you need to select transformable furniture. A sofa bed, a chair-bed, a table with a folding lid will do. Don't give up on the idea of adding a bunk bed. With this design you can save space.

Features of a nursery for two children of different sexes
The most difficult thing is to equip one room for children of different sexes, especially if they are of different ages. Usually, parents delimit only a place to sleep for children of different sexes. This is a big mistake.
Children of different sexes have different hobbies, just like their friends. Therefore, it is important to consider the design and furnishings of the room taking into account the interests of children. The layout options here could be:
- Selection of work and study areas with two places of different design
- Arrangement of sleeping and working space for each child along separate walls. You can use different colors to create visual contrast.
- Using folding workstations and different storage boxes. In this case, children can use the workspaces alternately. This will teach them to negotiate among themselves.
Whatever the design, the most important thing is to create comfort and peace in the nursery, which only truly caring parents can do.
For boy
A boy's room can be oriented in any direction. But the most common and popular styles are:
modern. It manifests itself in rigor, conciseness, clear geometric shapes and straight lines. Light colors predominate here. A feature of the interior is a minimum of furniture, decor and personal belongings
Particular attention is paid to large open spaces. It is easy to keep clean and tidy in such a room. In a small room in a modern style, it is recommended to choose light and plain finishing materials
It is allowed to diversify the interior with discreet geometric prints in small quantities;

nautical. A fairly common style among boys who dream of traveling around the world, sunken treasures and meeting pirates. It is characterized by an abundance of white, blue and red colors
Particular attention is paid here to such attributes as: steering wheel, anchor, fishing gear. On the walls there are ornaments in the form of shells, sea waves, fish
An aquarium will look beautiful in the corner or in the middle of the room. A compass clock is hung on the wall, and figurines in the shape of yachts and sailboats are placed on the shelves. The curtains are made of coarse cotton fabric with white and blue stripes, and the tiebacks for them are made of ropes, beautifully tied with nautical knots;
loft. Industrial features predominate here. The walls are partially decorated with finishing materials, but one of them is left brick or concrete. There are exposed wooden beams on the ceilings, and metal light fixtures hang carelessly on cables. In other words, the room looks a little casual and simple. This interior is suitable for active boys. After all, here you can play ball, climb a rope ladder, and swing on a horizontal bar.
Choosing a style for a teenager's room
How to decorate a teenager’s room, what style to choose - all this needs to be decided together with the child himself. The design of a room for a teenager should begin to be prepared shortly before the expected time of renovation. Modern children prefer the following styles:
- Classic solutions
- Fashionable American teenager's room
- Minimalism or hi-tech
A black and white room for a teenager in a classic style is unlikely to be suitable, but if you use other shades, you can get an original result that meets the requirements of a capricious child.
American style is an analogue of the classics, but if all the rules are followed, the result is an airy, bright or even white room for a teenager, equipped with modern furniture and accessories, functional and comfortable.
The loft style will be most in demand in the room of a modern teenager. It combines the incongruous, for example, photo wallpaper for a teenager’s room with an image of a big city and light textiles with floral patterns on the windows. Another advantage of this direction lies in the fact that the child can not be limited, but can be allowed to choose any pictures of rooms for teenagers in 2022 and try to bring them to life.
Selection of lighting fixtures
The abundance of sunlight has a positive effect on the development of the child, being a natural source of vitamin D. To do this, it is necessary to install a work space near a window. The light should come from the left. The space is equipped with a fair amount of lighting fixtures. Their locations should be chosen carefully. The desk is equipped with a lamp, and the area near the bed is illuminated with a night light.
The play area must be equipped with sufficient light for a comfortable pastime. Avoid using excessively bright light sources. They can negatively affect the child's nervous system. When creating a children's room project, professionals advise using fluorescent or halogen lamps, the light of which is pleasant. Chandeliers, which sometimes emit glare, are often replaced with ceiling lights. The functionality of the nursery will be enhanced by side lights located around the perimeter.
When repairing, you need to pay attention to the electrical wiring. Khrushchev-era apartments are “famous” for their outdated communications. Before installing lighting equipment, you should update the wiring and secure the space. Sockets need to be hidden. Children love to taste everything, so light sources are required from environmentally friendly materials. The wires must be covered.
Design tips
In order to make the most profitable design of a bedroom for children with your own hands, we recommend taking as a basis the rules used by designers when working with rooms with limited space:
- The main color palette of furniture facades, walls and flooring is calm, gentle and bed shades. The use of this color scheme allows you to visually expand the space (see Color of a children's room: an important component of design);
- The interior door and flooring should have a monochromatic and calm design. The main shade must be chosen so that it is several tones darker and more intense than the walls and furniture facades;
- There is no need to weigh down the windows with massive, thick and heavy curtains. Give preference to light tulle. Depending on the chosen style, organza and blinds can be used;
- If the children's room is located in the same room as the living room, which has zoning, it is necessary to pay special attention to lighting. In order to visually enlarge the space, you can use special spotlights that are mounted around the entire perimeter of the room;
- The ceiling must be decorated in the most similar shades to the wall covering. Using light colors with a monochromatic structure will expand the bedroom. It is possible to use hanging structures with a glossy and reflective surface.
Advice! Before making a nursery in a one-room Khrushchev-era building, you need to select furniture that is suitable in size. These can be ready-made modular sets that include several elements at once (desk, bed, shelving, cabinets, chests of drawers).
For two children, a bunk bed will help save space. For preschool children, you can buy a pull-out bed. No less popular are various furniture sets that have a folding and transforming mechanism.
You can learn more about all the intricacies and possibilities for choosing materials and styles by watching the video in this article.
Choosing furniture: taking into account the age of the child
When developing the design of a small children's area, you need to be prepared for the fact that you will have to mark out a lot of necessary furniture, but there should be free space for the child.
It is not very difficult to decorate a small bedroom if the child is between 0 and 3 years old. There is no need to allocate an area for study and activities; you can get by with a sleeping area and a play area.
In this case, the bed becomes the center of the entire interior, and in the corner there is a small cabinet for children's things.
The playroom is the rest of the free space, and for toys there are chests and boxes, hollow ottomans, which themselves are comfortable places to sit. It is convenient to make the drawing table foldable.
Note! Make maximum use of walls. All furniture is selected to be multifunctional. Ordinary furniture, even if we discard everything supposedly superfluous, may not fit
In this case, you should pay attention to built-in or modular kits

Modular furniture can be completed to suit any design of a small children's room. Typically, manufacturers offer to choose the necessary furniture parts from the following options:
- wardrobe;
- whatnot;
- shelves;
- cabinets;
- Desk;
- bed;
- dresser.
In this case, you should remember certain functional requirements for furniture:
- correspond to the age and anthropometric indicators of the child;
- for younger children, have easily removable covers for cleaning, and for older children, have a well-cleanable cover;
- lightness and mobility, since the same interior can get boring.

Built-in furniture is another option to save space as much as possible. Built-in wardrobes are spacious, and if they have sliding doors, then they do not take up any useful space at all. A good solution could be a corner cabinet, which is as spacious as a built-in one. It is available in several variants:
- completely closed with a system of retractable parts;
- with a side open part in the form of a bookcase, on which it is convenient to place books.
