For couples who have children, the birth of the first, then the second, and so on, brings significant changes. As a woman and a man become parents, they form a family with their child, with all its joys and challenges. Most couples are enthusiastic, happy, and sometimes fearless for their unborn baby. One of the most important tasks is furnishing and designing the child’s room. The style of the children’s room largely determines the well-being and mood of the little boy or girl living in it.
What aspects should we pay attention to when decorating our child’s room?
When decorating a room for a newborn or infant, the main factor is a safe and healthy environment and atmosphere. The location and size of the room also matter when designing the interior decoration. When planning the wall color, we prefer pastel tones, more subdued colors. Depending on the child’s age, the room can be embellished with patterns and decorative elements. To create a healthy atmosphere, ventilate often, unless you live in an area where smog is excessive. In that case, the air can be purified with air purification or filtration equipment. Many parents struggle to put their child to sleep, or when their baby finally sleeps, they wake up often and cry, unable to sleep deeply.
Hushaby
One of the reasons for disturbed and restless sleep can be the persistent ambient noise outside. There are certain sounds whose monotony and single frequency have a sedative and calming effect on children, known as white noise. But not all noise helps you fall asleep. The noise of vehicle exhaust fumes seeping in from the street, the hum, the blaring music from cars, the shouting of drunk or partying passersby can scare children. If we live in a condominium, the noise of neighbors also prevents peaceful rest. Traditional building materials like brick and concrete, as well as reflective surfaces such as glass, reflect sounds that create bothersome echoes in the room. In small square or rectangular rooms, this intensifies further. To make sound insulation effective, use elements made of sound-absorbing material.
If the child sleeps, our night will be calm
Acoustic and soundproof panels can be placed on the walls and ceilings to prevent echoes and eliminate noise. The structure of soundproofing materials is flexible, dense, and porous. We don’t have to forgo decorative accessories in favor of sound insulation because soundproof panels are available in many colors and styles. And photo-printed elements can be made with any image or photo, according to the nursery’s style or our child’s taste. We place soundproof curtains in front of windows so that not only can we filter out loud noises, but we can also block out light, which is very useful during the day. Lay thick, densely woven soundproof rugs on the nursery floor; these fabrics absorb noise, are safe due to their soft and gentle touch if, for example, a child falls, and are also easy to clean! If our child loves music, soft and pleasant music can help them fall asleep. Soundproofing elements, acoustic panels also greatly improve the quality of music sound.
Sounds, noises
The human ear cannot exclude sounds even in dreams. In our modern world, noise pollution is one of the most serious problems. Babies and young children are much more sensitive to sounds and noises. Just think about it, the fetus can already hear the mother’s voice, heartbeat, and external noises while in the womb. The amniotic fluid muffles the sounds that seep in, but when the baby enters the world, they hear everything that happens around them. Prolonged noise can also cause tension, aggression, restlessness, headaches, and nervous system issues. The extent to which noise affects depends on age and gender, but research has shown that children are more sensitive to unpleasant sounds.
Don’t focus solely on colors and patterns when designing your children’s room, let’s ensure a quiet and noise-free environment!
