Safety first
A child's own room is supposed to be his private kingdom. He needs to feel comfortable and safe. Before buying, take a closer look at the furniture. Choose those with rounded edges, so they won't be dangerous to the toddler. Avoid small pieces that can pose a choking hazard. Also make sure all furniture is stable.

Functionality
Every parent knows that children grow very quickly. Choose furniture that "grows" with them. For example, extension beds or adjustable desks. Remember to create plenty of storage space. Equip shelves and cabinets with baskets, crates and colorful boxes. This will keep the whole thing organized, but at the same time aesthetically pleasing. In addition, children will be more willing to clean up toys if the storage system is interesting and colorful.

Separate practical zones
Divide your child's room into several functional zones: for sleeping, studying and playing. Make sure that the toddler will have enough space in each of them. You can separate the different parts of the room, for example, with a bookcase or a curtain. Another way to separate the zones is to use carpets. For example, place a soft fluffy rug next to the bed, place a carpet with shorter pile next to the desk, and use a colorful mat in the play area.

Fairytale colors
Choose bright, cheerful colors that will stimulate your child's imagination. If you want a softer effect, use pastels. Add decorative elements, such as wall stickers, posters with favorite characters or garlands. Make sure that the decorations can be easily changed so that the room can „grow” with the child.
Opt for vibrant colors

Individuality
Be sure to consider your child's taste and interests when arranging the room. Let your toddler participate in decorating the room. This can include painting the walls together, choosing bedding or decorations. Add items that have special meaning for the child, such as favorite toys, books and mementos.
