Hanging shelves
They are quite compact, as a rule, made of light and durable materials. Particular attention is paid not only to special impregnations (antiseptics and moisture-resistant compounds), but also to the reliability of fastenings.
The advantage of using wall-mounted children's shelves is that they can be used in small spaces (for example, in studio apartments, old Khrushchev-era apartment buildings).
Installation rules - how to calculate the height and methods of fastening
Mounting a hanging cabinet in a nursery should be done after some calculations. Placing the module on the wall allows the child to move freely around the room. To do this, you need to add 15-20 cm to his height. That is, for a schoolchild (150 cm), the best option would be a closet at a height of 165-170 cm. In the room of small children, there are wall-mounted modules, their contents are managed by the mother, so you need to adapt to her height. It is convenient to use books if they are located above the table. If the closet is filled with toys, it should hang close to the play area. A place near a door or in a narrow passage is considered unlucky. The load bearing capacity depends on the fastening of the section; the design of the module itself is quite reliable.
Methods for attaching wall cabinets:
- using dowels is the most common method. A loop is attached to the back wall of the module, which is then put on the fastener. After marking the dimensions of the cabinet, holes are made in the wall for the dowels. The modules are placed in their places, the doors are adjusted, the facade and decor are mounted.
- using a mounting rail. A part with a hook is attached to the end of the cabinet. The rail with the base for it is mounted on the wall. The module is simply hung by connecting these elements together. Advantages: ease of use, reliable design, ability to move the cabinet horizontally on runners. Disadvantages: the section does not fit tightly to the wall, leaving a gap; this method of fastening is more expensive.
Optimal selection rules
Choosing furniture for children's bedrooms is a complex process in which both parents and children should participate. Despite the wide range of finished products in stores and a wide range of prices, the choice is often difficult.
Criteria to focus on:
- Material and quality of processing. Detailed information on the purchased models can be found on the catalog pages or obtained from a sales consultant.
- Reliability of fastenings and fittings for children's shelves on the wall.
- Color design. A child’s psychology, his activity and behavior are formed from the earliest years of life. And not the least role in the development of the psyche is played by the color scheme in the interior of the bedroom. The most optimal shades are considered to be natural paints (sand, white, beige and walnut). You should not use sharp, “poisonous” shades to decorate a child’s room, which can negatively affect the child’s behavior and mood.
- Moisture resistant. Shelves for toys, books, and souvenirs require frequent cleaning, which dictates a number of criteria for choosing a model.
Color scheme - the baby will tell you
If you decide to brighten up the interior of a children's room with a couple of wall shelves, then try choosing a non-standard color for them! Be sure to consult with your child if he is already talking, because a little thing like choosing a color for a child is extremely important. He will understand that you respect his choice and show complete trust.
It is important to remember that the world around us contains thousands of bright colors, and everything around us has its own color. Psychologists constantly remind parents that color carries an emotional charge.
Red – activity and activity. This is the color of vitality, overflowing and aimed at fulfilling your most cherished desires. If your child prefers this color, then we can confidently say about his determination and activity.
Orange is the color of health, friendliness and comfort, filling the room with light, warmth and an atmosphere of optimism. Psychologists also say that orange stimulates brain function. The “orange” shade creates an atmosphere of cheerfulness and fun. If your child prefers orange, he is active and cheerful.
Yellow is the color of wheat, joy and cheerfulness. The use of yellow will encourage the child to create unusual ideas. In combination with red and yellow, it creates an atmosphere of security and endless summer in the nursery.
