The children’s room should have a children’s library. Here are seven roads of interior solutions that take us to the magical land of thirty-three letters. Young parents often ask child psychologists a question: how to instill a love of books in your child? Of course, we are not experts in child rearing, but we will give our own answer to the question: there should be a children’s library in the children’s room. After all, for a child, a fairy-tale story begins even before he opens the book. Here are seven interior solutions that take us to the land of thirty-three letters.
There are some examples of colorful comics for kids that fit your child’s room perfectly. Lauren Grabois Fischer has the perfect collection of books for boys and girls and what is more all her books teach kids to be proud of who they are. The Be Books is a children’s book publishing company that believes in empowering and educating our youth to live a positive and peaceful life.
1. Outdoor structures
Small stable shelves with wide shelves and attached drawers are the perfect solution if you are creating a library for your baby. A toy box for all of crumbs ‘ personal belongings is also a great option.
Books should be in the access zone of the young reader, even if he/she can only crawl to them so far. For safety (and aesthetics), it is better to use dense materials decorated with textiles. Of course, there should not be more than 12-15 books (with large cardboard pages) in such a “library”.
2. ” Toy ” furniture
A rack or a small table with shelves inside, or maybe it’s a dollhouse? Original design furniture always looks great in the nursery. The presence of moving parts and bright accents makes reading a fascinating game. Convenient “cells” allow parents to organize their child’s books (this is especially true for rooms where brothers and sisters of different ages live).
3. Interior details
There are people who will call books the best decoration of any interior. Perhaps, regarding the living room or bedroom, this idea is more than true, but the children’s room still needs to be decorated more creatively. For example, original installations.
In a country-style room, you can “plant” a bookshelf in the form of a tree. The little philologist will surely like the shelf-“ABC”, and the young naturalist will be delighted with the birdhouse, in which the page nests for the fabulous firebird are curled.
4. “Showcase” (exhibition)
Such shelves are more like decorative elements than functional furniture, but in the room of a preschool child they are relevant. If the child does not see the books and you do not tell him/her about them, do not expect that he/she will want to look at the pictures in children’s encyclopedias or ask you to read the poems of his/her favorite author.
Unobtrusively “showing” the child books (and you can change the “exhibits” several times a week), you teach the child to love books, and at the same time maintain order in the children’s room. Pay attention to the fact that the “showcase” is well fixed-always at the level of the child’s eyes.
5. Textile ” pockets»
Such colorful soft “shelves” can be added to the recreation area in the children’s room. If the bookcase is located near the child’s bed, the preschooler will be distracted by bright book covers and fall asleep for a long time.
If the main place of storage of “folios” is in the work (study area), and in the recreation area there will be few books (no more than 3-4), then reading before going to bed will be comfortable and, importantly, a convenient ritual. The “pockets” and the lampshade of the floor lamp made of the same (similar) fabric will look original.
6. Low shelves
The child becomes more mature, is interested in many things… One day you notice that his children’s magazines and books are bought more per month than the publications for all the other members of the family combined. The library of a book lover and collector is better placed on a rack with shelves and baskets (boxes): shelves are intended for storing encyclopedias, educational literature, periodicals are placed in baskets or boxes. Do not be afraid of “massive” structures: materials for such furniture should be chosen strongly, withstanding a lot of weight.
7. Complementary furniture
Ideally, the child’s room is one of the largest rooms in the apartment. But what if you can’t argue with the square meters of a small apartment and your son or daughter’s personal space is sorely lacking? Multifunctional furniture will help out. For example, a bed or an armchair with bookshelves.
