why a hiding place in a child’s room?

The children’s room is an amazing place. Discovering the world begins there, first games and antics, first sorrows and worries. It takes imagination and sensitivity to create a place for a child to come back with joy, to feel at ease and safe. When designing a children’s room, you need to remember about the harmony between beauty, functionality and comfort.

Less means more

The excess of stimuli negatively affects the development and behavior of children. When choosing colors and items for a child’s room, it is worth bearing this in mind. If we decide to divide the room into a sleeping and resting space and a play space, you can design the former in delicate, subdued colors, and in the latter, allow yourself a bit of madness, e.g. by choosing a rug in intense colors or patterns. Toys in a children’s room are usually multi-colored, so they already become, in a sense, decorations that stimulate, and in excess can cause a feeling of anxiety.

Own sanctuary

During the whole intense day of a toddler, preschooler or older child, there comes a moment when the child wants to hide and calm down. It is very important that there is a refuge in the children’s room, a place that is easily accessible and cozy. It can be a hanging canopy or a teepee tent , which are perfect as a hiding place. Made of natural, breathable materials, they will become a beautiful decoration of the room. Such an asylum is a space that stimulates children’s creativity, it can become an enchanted castle or a pirate ship. A hanging canopy or a teepee tent is also a perfect place to read fairy tales together, take an afternoon nap or play alone.

Let the child decide which toys will be in this hideout, which cuddly toys will live in it, and which treasures will be hidden there. Let it be a space where the child can decide for himself whether he wants to lie with his mother or just with his favorite teddy bear. Remember that a child must have time and space to discover himself.
