According to many psychologists, one common nursery for a boy and a girl significantly strengthens and improves their relationship in the future. Being in a common room, children learn to share toys, spend time together and, of course, as a result, understand each other much better. Making a children's room is not an easy task, and when there are two children and they are of different sexes, it becomes much more complicated, because the design should take into account a lot of nuances associated not only with the tastes of children, but also with their psychology. It is necessary to build on the color and taste preferences of both children, the only way they will feel comfortable being in the nursery together.
What is the best way to start decorating a nursery
When creating the interior of a nursery, it is not at all necessary to hire a professional designer, because kids are the most inexperienced spectators, for them, first of all, home comfort, warmth and love are important, and who, if not parents, knows their kids, what they love, and what colors they prefer just like it.

When planning the interior of a room for a boy, a girl needs to think over not only one common play area, but, if possible, add individual ones, so that the kids can spend time separately without violating each other's personal space. Furniture is best arranged so that the largest part of the space of the room remains free, because children will need a lot of space for active games.

Proper zoning in a common nursery
When creating the design of one common children's room for a boy and a girl, it is imperative to zoning the room for a comfortable stay of the kids in it. There are a lot of ideas for creating it, for example, decorating a nursery in a specific, given theme, a zone for a boy, and for a girl can be decorated in different ways by adding various drawings to the interior design that emphasize who exactly sleeps here, you can also use accessories write the names of the children.
Zoning will look more dramatic when parts of the room are painted in different colors. Such zoning will allow children to develop their imagination, because they themselves will be able to decorate their zone as they see fit. With this zoning children's for a boy and a girl be filled with their favorite toys and heroes, and at the same time they will not quarrel and swear about where to put them or put them, because each of them will be a full owner in their part of the room.
zoning a nursery using the color scheme of walls and interior items
Children's room for a boy and a girl should be equipped with several main areas: sleeping, working, a zone for the personal belongings of each child and a play space. Of course, these zones should be comfortable for both children, but if the children get along very well with each other or the age difference is minimal, you can combine some zones into one common one.
For example, you can organize the space to connect the beds and the storage area for personal items using modular furniture, this will help you conveniently arrange the furniture in the nursery, and save space, which will greatly expand the space for games. Modular furniture in the interior children's looks very unusual and stylish, and for small rooms it will be just an indispensable assistant in the proper organization of space.
When the boy and girl are still very small and gender differences are not yet very important, then you can offer them common boxes and boxes for storing toys that they can decorate together, and you can also make a common table for them to draw or sculpt from plasticine , because such babies disperse only for sleep - each in his own bed.

Use bedding that matches the taste of each child or let them choose the general design of the room, for example, if the theme of castles is pleasant and interesting for a boy and a girl, you can decorate a nursery in this theme, here the boy will feel like a noble knight, and the girl will feel like a beautiful princess .
You should be more careful with teenagers, for them it is necessary to divide the space of the room, and make their own corner for each. If the brother and sister do not get along very well with each other, which is quite common among teenagers, you can put the beds on opposite sides of the room, and make a screen or hang a curtain between the zones

How to zone a children's room
The simplest solution, at first glance, seems to be dividing the room into two equal parts. Looking through photos of various interior designs for children of different sexes, you can see that in the vast majority of cases, the nursery is divided into two equal halves, both in color schemes and in different arrangements of furniture in each half of the room. But such decisions do not always allow you to correctly allocate and distribute personal space between a boy and a girl, because such a layout, first of all, does not provide for a separate place for the kids. In a room with such zoning, none of the children will be able to be alone if they suddenly do not want to play together, and this is a very significant psychological discomfort.

A very simple and convenient solution to this problem is a curtain, which at any time can make its own, separate corner for each of the children, it is also a great way out for slightly older children to change clothes in the room without being embarrassed by each other or go about their own business and not interfere to another child.
