A room where your child will want to play and sleep

My daughter got her own room when she turned one. Of course, that doesn't mean that on her birthday she eagerly packed up her toys in the living room and moved her crib from our bedroom to her own room, but at least she discovered that there's still some space in the house where she can play and spend time.

Getting the toys out of the living room was the most important thing for me—I was simply fed up with parties where my friends had to make their way through stuffed animals and crayons, and then, to top it all off, the students’ puppy would bark at them..

Play Area

The child plays mainly on the floor. It's important that the floor isn't cold, that it's easy to clean, and that it looks nice, too (that's important to Mom ;). The Lorena Canals brand offers a wide selection of rugs that are perfect for children. My daughter's room is yellow, gray, and white, so the Azteca Natural – Vintage Az rug fits right in here.ul.

Mom's rug—it's a good idea to make use of the space on it now. It's a good idea to set up a desk in the room right from the start. A great option for little ones is the Iga model from Pinio. It has a tabletop and a cabinet where a child can store their treasures. The desk can be used for drawing, doing puzzles, or playing with building blocks.

Storage

The older the child, the more clothes and toys they have. While it’s a good idea to keep toys out in the open so the child knows what to choose from, it’s better to put clothes away in the closet—not only for aesthetic reasons but also for hygiene—since it will be harder for the child to pull clothes stored in the closet out into the middle of the room (why? For example, to use them as a base ;).

Pinio also offers wardrobes—and quite a few models at that. We can go with a classic like the three-door or two-door Calmo model, or go all out and choose the Marsylia model, which is shaped like a little house. We can also choose a model for the desk—the Iga model or the elegant Parole model, decorated with bows. All Pinio furniture is made from wood sourced in Poland and painted with child-safe paint. They also come with a two-year warranty.

Once we've put the clothes away, it's a good idea to tackle the toys. How to store them so your child can easily reach them and so they're easy to put away after playtime? Here, too, Pinio comes to the rescue with a wide range of shelving units. We can arrange stuffed animals, books, and puzzles on the shelf, and the other toys that don't fit on the shelf can be stored in baskets. 3 Sprouts offers a wide selection of baskets—you can choose from baskets decorated with various animals (elephants, foxes, butterflies, etc.).).

Sleeping

If we decide to go with Pinio, we can choose a crib from the series we've selected. Stokke, Quax, and Troll also offer high-quality cribs. It's a good idea for the crib to have a drawer at the bottom where you can store bedding, as well as three mattress height settings. We'll put the baby on the top rung; when the baby starts climbing up the rungs, we'll move it to the one below, and when the baby starts standing up, it'll end up at the very bottom..

To make the crib cozy and safe, you can buy a crib bumper for it. This guard is placed on the bed rails, so even if the child rolls across the bed while sleeping, they won't hit their head. Effiki offers a wide variety of designs—it’s worth paying attention to the material the protector is made of. It's important that it be washable.
