For a schoolchild, a mandatory designated area for study is required. If the room has a balcony, then it is insulated, glazed and turned into a separate workplace. The loggia is also perfect for creating a separate area for games or reading.

It is not a very good idea to have a significant amount of decor and various items in the room; the presence of a night light, an air humidifier, a thermometer and an air humidity meter, baby care items will be enough.
In the baby's room there should not be pieces of furniture with sharp corners, heavy objects that can fall on the baby, various figurines and photo frames - they will only collect dust.
It is better to cover the walls with washable wallpaper or paint them in the desired color and stick on special vinyl stickers with a thematic image. Covering the floor with carpet is not a good idea; better parquet or laminate, linoleum.
Selecting the color
The color palette influences the child’s well-being. This is a proven fact. Therefore, children’s designs are advised to be done exclusively in light natural colors. The best options are pink, blue, beige, green, and white. It is advisable to choose warm shades.

A nursery for girls of different age groups can be designed in different styles. The main thing in decorating a room is to take into account the wishes of the hostess herself. Gentle tones are perfect for a girl’s room: pink, light green, turquoise, lilac and, of course, white.
For a girl’s room, it is better to choose a compact wardrobe with mirrored doors; it would also be nice to place a stylish dressing table with a soft pouf. Choose a bed and a desk according to the girl’s size; to save space, you can install a corner table.
Above the table, hang a small shelf for cute trinkets (figurines, certificates and diplomas, photographs). A small round rug with large fringe or high pile will fit beautifully in the center of the room.

| Classic | The lines are laconic and clear. The material is exclusively natural. If the budget is limited, imitation wood for MDF furniture is possible. They use textiles, floral patterns, muted colors, tending to natural ones. An accent in the form of mirrors and sculptural fragments is possible. |
| High tech | This is an innovative solution, the use of progressive elements such as a transformable bed, drawers and shelves. The atmosphere is calm and at the same time contrasting combinations are allowed, uplifting the mood in the morning and providing relaxation in the evening. |
| Japanese | Reminiscent of minimalism, complemented by elements in the Japanese style. The furniture is no frills, simple, low. The color chosen is natural, pastel, the lighting is dim. A distinctive feature is decorating the bedroom with decor related to Japanese culture. |
