children's storage rules dressing room for children's things
Children have a unique gift - with minimal time and effort, they can create maximum chaos not only in their room, but throughout the entire apartment. It makes no sense to demand that a child put things in order if adults have not taken care of creating a functional system for storing children's things. In this regard, the ideal antidote to chaos is a spacious, well-equipped children's dressing room. Do not rush to argue that in a small apartment this is an unaffordable luxury. Let's take a look into the nursery together and think about how to structure its space.
Why do you need a children's dressing room?
In the understanding of most people, a separate dressing room is, in addition to additional convenience, also additional square meters. But if you correctly redistribute the space of the apartment, from arranging a module to organizing a children's wardrobe, you will only benefit.
• A spacious dressing room is an opportunity to hang and lay out everything in plain sight, which will make it easy to select sets of clothes , arrange wardrobe items together, and quickly find what you need.
• By allocating part of the room for storing children's things, you will unload the remaining space from chests of drawers, cabinets, and boxes of toys, thereby visually expanding the children's room .
• The use of mobile shelves, containers, boxes will make maximum use of internal, including vertical, space .
• Remember about the educational function - nothing helps to teach a child to be neat as the order in the room that surrounds the baby from infancy. By dressing himself and putting things back in their place, he gets used to self-service.
• And finally, even if, when dressing your child for kindergarten in the morning, you did not have time to put things back in place, all this will remain behind the dressing room door 
Aesthetics
The design of the dressing room should be developed taking into account the requirements of ergonomics. It is necessary to provide free access to shelves and hangers with clothes.
You also need to think about storage conditions. The room should be well ventilated and excess humidity should be avoided.
There should be a large mirror on one of the free surfaces, thanks to which the time for choosing an outfit will be significantly reduced.
Specifics of a children's dressing room
In many respects, a children's dressing room is similar to an adult's, but it also has specific features , so let's look at what you need to pay attention to when equipping it.
A modular system for organizing things is ideal for a child , allowing, as he grows, to change the configuration of compartments and adjust the height of rods and shelves. Order a transforming cabinet, the design of which allows for the layout of the internal space at your discretion.
2. Most likely, not only clothes and shoes will be stored here, but also toys, books, stationery, and sports equipment, so when planning it is necessary to provide a place for them.
3. It is better to make a children's dressing room with the door closed (rather than behind curtains or in a niche), especially if you are not ready to clean up the open shelves every day, and your child is not yet a model of neatness and pedantry.
4. Pay attention to safety . There should be no heavy drawers, poorly secured modules, shelves with sharp corners, or other objects that could injure a child.
5. There is such a psychological technique: in order to understand a child, you need to squat down and be on the same level with him. In the same way , a children's dressing room must be planned based on the height of its owner - everything necessary should be within the baby's reach, especially everyday clothes, shoes and toys.
6. In order not to clutter the shelves, children's things need to be sorted out at least twice a year - to get rid of small clothes and toys that have become unusable. This is best done in the spring and fall to simultaneously prepare and store seasonal items.
The door question remains open
Experts advise considering two options for children's dressing rooms:
- no doors at all - the storage can be covered with curtains;
- with sliding door mechanism;
- accordion doors.
In the first case, the dressing room becomes completely safe, but it is more difficult to maintain order. In the second, you should make sure that the ends of the doors are equipped with soft elastic bands that can protect delicate children’s hands even if they find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Accordion doors are almost ideal, except for their high initial cost.
What and how to store: accessories and containers
A children's wardrobe often exceeds an adult's in the number of items, and therefore requires similar approaches to storage.
outerwear , casual suits , dresses, skirts , trousers on hangers and place them in the lower sections of the dressing room; weekend sets are higher, in the second tier. For these purposes, you will need special children's clothes hangers, preferably wooden ones. The set must include regular hangers with recesses and a crossbar, hangers with clips for trousers and skirts, and velvet coated hangers for shirts, blouses, and suits made from natural fabrics. The flocked surface prevents clothing from slipping and the formation of puffs.
Knitted blouses , tracksuits , -shirts , sweatshirts are stored on open shelves. An interesting solution is open fabric hanging trunks with several sections. A convenient fastening system with ties or Velcro makes them mobile, the dense material holds its shape well and is easy to clean.
For the same knitwear, bed linen, blankets, pillows, blankets, you will need spacious boxes or shelving baskets. These can be transparent containers, stylish boxes, decorated with children's applique.
T-shirts, shorts, underwear, socks, tights are stored in drawers designed like a chest of drawers or on open shelves in organizers for small items. The compact system, consisting of separate cells, makes it easy to navigate the contents, maintain order, and not lose paired items.
Shoes are stored on open shelves, in shoe organizers with several compartments. Hanging trunks with pockets are also suitable for these purposes. To save space, you can hang them on the back of the door and use them not only for sandals and slippers, but also for various small things - bows, elastic bands, scarves, hats.
Seasonal clothes and sets for growing up are put into boxes and placed on the upper shelves and mezzanines.
The toy area is located on the floor and lower shelves so that the child can easily reach and put them away. To do this, the dressing room is equipped with retractable mesh trays, spacious containers on wheels, and baskets. Children love to put their treasures in colorful boxes with playful designs.
Installation of equipment
The dressing room can be equipped with purchased shelving made of wood or metal. It will also not be difficult for a home craftsman to make shelves, rods and attach them to the walls on his own.
In cramped conditions, large boxes for things and accessories are replaced with plastic containers, baskets or even paper boxes, which can be easily assembled by cutting sheets of thick cardboard.
A special module is designed to accommodate shoes. It is also necessary to carefully select a place for a large mirror so that when trying on clothes you can see yourself in full height.
