A wall in a children's room will help organize a suitable space that promotes the development of the child. The functional furniture wall has many compartments of different sizes for storing clothes and bed linen, as well as shelves and drawers for storing books and toys.
Child's age
The age of the child is the main factor influencing the choice of children's wall.
A preschooler's play space should be equipped so that the child can independently get and put away his toys or clothes. A table for creativity needs an appropriate height.
A small child does not need a large closet, but a wall with a bed would be an excellent option.
A children's area complemented by a wall bars or stairs will contribute to the physical development of the child.
But for a schoolchild, a wall with a desk is perfect, because the child will need a place to complete schoolwork and work on the computer. The table should be as comfortable as possible, since the child will spend a lot of time at it.
Advantages of using cabinet furniture in the interior
The choice of a wall with a bed for a children's room is based on the architectural features of the room, its size and the functionality of the design.
Using walls for furnishing and arranging a child’s room has its advantages, the main of which include a whole range of factors:
- providing the premises with a spacious storage system for placing textiles, things and toys of the baby;
- a wide variety of configurations and models, stylistic design and design ideas for such furniture;
- increased reliability and stability of the cabinet structure, maximally safe and suitable for any room.
Creative and unusual solutions allow you to choose furniture for arranging a room that is functional and decorates the room.
Particularly noteworthy are furniture designs with elements of transformation, which will change with the growth of the child and provide all his needs and requirements.
Material
The material from which the children's wall is made is also important. Preference should be given to environmentally friendly natural materials, but in any case they must be of high quality and safe for the health of children. When purchasing, do not hesitate to ask for a product quality certificate.
All fittings must be checked upon purchase; poor quality of hinges and handles can lead to frequent breakdowns.
Children's furniture is made from various materials to suit every taste and budget. Preference is often given to natural wood; if you have a modest budget, you can opt for pine, it is environmentally friendly and has a low price.
However, it is worth considering that children can scratch wooden surfaces without much effort. To ensure that the furniture retains its attractive appearance for as long as possible, it is recommended to choose walls made of MDF. Its surface has a protective coating that is resistant to mechanical damage and wet cleaning.
But popular furniture made from chipboard is not suitable for children, since the material emits volatile substances that are unsafe for children.
Features of the wall in the living room with a computer desk
The living room is usually the largest room in the apartment. If you approach the task with imagination, the computer desk will harmoniously fit into the set.
With the right approach, a computer desk fits harmoniously into the interior of the living room. A ready-made wall with a space already provided for working can easily fit into any design. But you need to take into account that you will have to allocate quite a lot of space for it. For a small room, it is better to choose a modular set, the parts of which can be easily divided and placed in different zones.
For small rooms it is better to choose modular walls. A standard living room wall usually includes several items:
- closet;
- pencil case for books;
- glass display case for dishes;
- TV table;
- drawers;
- open shelves;
- computer desk.
In addition to the computer desk, the wall set includes various elements. This set provides a lot of storage space, and in appearance it looks harmonious and balanced in detail.
Externally, such furniture looks harmonious. Sometimes it is impossible to fit a wall with a computer desk into the living room interior. In this case, hidden options come to the rescue:
- workplace in the closet;
- folding tabletop.
If space is limited, built-in or folding tables can be used. In normal times, the appearance of the living room remains classic and harmonious, and if necessary, the wardrobe doors slide apart to reveal a full-fledged table inside. Or you need to lower the folding tabletop to work. This is convenient and relevant for small multifunctional rooms.
A table hidden in a closet will help save a lot of space.
Safety
When buying a modular wall for a children's room, you need to pay special attention to the reliability and stability of the structure. The absence of sharp corners will reduce the likelihood of injury to the child.
All mechanisms must work properly, and the doors must be easy to close and have stoppers or a closer so that the baby does not press his fingers when slamming the door.
Under no circumstances should you purchase a wall if you smell a pungent odor of varnish or paint; constant inhalation of such fumes can lead to headaches for the baby and parents.
Correct location in the room
It is better to install the corner version of the wall with a desktop closer to the window, the best option is opposite or to the side. Then the position of the storage system, resting and sleeping areas is determined. The bed is placed closer to the radiator to make sleeping comfortable. The headboard is positioned so that the front door is visible.

Some tips for organizing your work area:
- Sitting at the table, the child should see the person entering. He will be less distracted by extraneous noises and look around.
- There must be an outlet at the table so that children do not use extension cords.
- For left-handers, the arrangement of lights and shelves is provided, taking into account individual characteristics.
Depending on age, the size of the play and sports area is determined. There should be no sockets or electrical appliances in the play area. The shelves are hung last, when the entire interior is completed.

There are interesting examples of the use of photo printing in decoration. Textiles create comfort and a warm atmosphere. Thoughts can be provided on a sleeping place, in the play area.
Size
When choosing the size of the wall, it is worth considering the size of the room and the height of the child. For two children, it is worth purchasing a large wall so that each has its own shelves and drawers.
There are many combinations of children's walls, including compact models that will help save space, for example, a corner wall.
Furniture color
The color of furniture in the nursery also requires special attention; it is recommended to choose not flashy colors; pastel shades can be diluted with bright accents, for example, colored handles, edgings.
The child’s wishes should be taken into account, especially if he is a teenager. But you should carefully choose furniture in dark colors or with colorful patterns, as you can quickly get tired of them.
After studying photos of children's walls on the Internet, you can choose an option that suits you in terms of configuration and required functionality. If you need a wall of non-standard sizes or colors, we can make it to order.
Current styles
The choice of wall largely depends on the style of the interior. It is necessary that it does not stand out from the overall stylistic picture of the room. In this case, the wall can become an additional or main detail of the interior.
Modern styles such as minimalism and loft include the concept of manufacturability, functionality and simplicity. These are the characteristics that furniture for such styles should have.
Therefore, spacious units with spacious shelves are purchased for the room. They can be either floor-standing or hanging. The color composition of such walls should not be bright and variegated - the possible number of colors present is no more than three. At the same time, classic combinations of white with black, gray or brown are appreciated. Glossy surfaces, mirror or glass, metal fittings and finishes are welcome.
No less popular today, the high-tech is characterized by manufacturability and versatility. Walls in this style should have an extensive cabinet for a TV and other audio and video equipment. It is the basis of the composition, where narrow but spacious cabinets can be located on the sides. You can also complement the cabinet with wall cabinets, niches and shelves. Modular walls in high-tech style are characterized by a monochromatic color scheme and a glossy surface without decoration.
eco-style wall must be made of wood or a material that imitates it. If the space of the room allows, you can install a corner model with a cabinet, or a wide wall-mounted wall with numerous modules. You can complement it with souvenirs, vases and paintings in this style.
A wall for a room in a classic style should be elegant and strict in shape. A “slide” with massive shelves, a chest of drawers, and a coffee table is suitable for this. It is better to choose natural colors, as well as materials. This will add luxury to the interior.
Cost of furniture
The price of children's furniture is important for all parents, but do not be fooled by too low prices. After all, to produce high-quality children's furniture, only expensive, safe materials and modern, reliable equipment are used, therefore, low cost is a reason to think about the quality of the product.
The so-called spontaneous markets are not suitable for choosing a children's wall; it is better to trust well-known reliable manufacturers.
The wall should please not only the parents, but also the child, first of all, so do not forget about his opinion. The more the child participates in choosing and purchasing furniture for himself, the better.
Children grow quickly, their tastes and needs change, so be prepared for the fact that soon the furniture will have to be replaced with more “adult” ones.
Choosing a children's wall that will last a long time and will delight its little owner and his parents is quite simple, the main thing is to take into account all the necessary factors.
