When creating an interior in a child's room, first of all, you need to take into account not only the appearance of the space, but also its safety and versatility. Furniture plays a huge role in the design of the nursery; it should be comfortable for sleeping, comfortable for games and activities.

Recently, most parents give preference to modern furniture models and choose a corner for a schoolchild with a wardrobe. This design combines everything necessary for a child's daily life: a desk, a spacious wardrobe and shelves for books. Such a corner makes the nursery beautiful and enables the student to properly store things and school supplies.

In many apartments and houses, living space allows the parents to allocate a separate room for the child. Of course, this is considered an excellent option for the independent development of the personality, the student will be able to retire and feel his personal space. But if housing is small, then adults have to deal with the problem of organizing a workplace for children, since from the first grade the student will have to prepare homework.

In this case, a student's corner with a wardrobe comes to the rescue.

Unlike other types of children's furniture designs, the school corner has its own distinctive features:

• Compulsory furniture compliance with the student's height. In order not to be mistaken with these indicators, it is recommended to pay attention to the growth markers, which are indicated on the product, they will also help to correctly set the corner in the room.
• Convenient placement of all items. The child will be able to get or put things on his own without the help of adults and will know their location.
• Full compliance with the theme and color of the furniture to the floor of the student. Products for girls differ significantly from models for boys. This applies not only to the color scheme, but also to the details of the corner.

• Availability of a convenient place for lessons. A comfortable desk or writing desk will make homework more comfortable.
• Multifunctionality. This design is equipped with many shelves and additional space for things, books, toys, and a spacious wardrobe will allow you to rationally use the area and store clothes.

Regardless of the number of children in the family, furniture for decorating the workplace of students must be durable, functional and take up a minimum of space. All of the above requirements are met by a corner for a schoolchild.

It can be made of various materials, differ in appearance, but all its constituent elements are standard and include:

• Desk. Many parents in a teenager's room prefer to install not a student table with a cover, but its analogue - a computer. In order to properly distribute the lighting, it is recommended to place the corners near the window, so that natural light can be combined with electric lighting.

• A chair or chair. In the event that a computer is installed at the workplace, soft chairs with adjustable height and elastic back are chosen.
• Bookcase with bookshelves. It can be used both for storing books and other school supplies. Sometimes there are models of a children's corner just with hinged shelves and racks.
• Hanging structure with TV.
• Wardrobe.
• Bed.

It is worth noting that all the components of the student's corner can change taking into account the child's age. So, for example, if a kid has just started school, then he will need a minimum of storage space, while adolescents will need much more space, in which case conventional furniture models will not work.

Therefore, depending on the age of the student, the following design options are offered:

• 7 to 11 years old. A new period in a child's life, new hobbies, interest in the world around him. Therefore, in addition to school textbooks, children have many educational books, encyclopedias. The student will also need additional space for rulers, a globe, pencils, and book holders. To ensure that all of the above items and toys are always in order, parents need to purchase spacious corner-shaped furniture options.
• Schoolchildren from 12 to 16 years old. This is a difficult teenage period, when interest in learning disappears, but various hobbies appear. To hide textbooks and notebooks, it is enough to have a corner with spacious drawers, and the side walls of the furniture can serve as a place for sticking posters. In addition, the design should also include special racks, where the teenager can place his photos, certificates and other academic achievements.

Recently, the furniture market has been represented by a wide selection of school corners with a wardrobe. Each model is designed for the personal preferences of children, the interior of the room, age and individual temperament. Therefore, the following types of structures can be distinguished:

• For teenagers and large rooms. Such sets consist of a wardrobe, a multifunctional computer table, an armchair, a secretaire, hanging shelves, a wardrobe with drawers and a bed.
• For medium sized spaces. Such walls can include both the most necessary items for everyday life and activities, and additions with cabinets with drawers, shelves. There are also models with a wardrobe and shelves for books, stationery and notebooks.
• For small children's rooms. A corner in the form of a built-in wall with a transformer sleeping place and a folding table is suitable. In addition, a wardrobe and hinged shelves with drawers can also be found in such models.

In addition to the above furniture options, manufacturers offer parents a choice of more budgetary types of designs, consisting of a multifunctional computer desk, complemented by shelves and drawers. As a rule, such corners have an angular shape, rationally occupy the space of the room and do not load the workplace with unnecessary items.

Before you buy a school corner for your child, you will need to take into account many nuances. Usually, when choosing children's furniture, adults first of all pay attention to its size and cost, but this is wrong, since such designs must meet many requirements, namely:

• Have a table length of at least one meter. As for the width of the workplace, it is calculated individually and selected in such a way that during classes the elbows do not hang from the table, and the computer monitor and other things do not interfere with the work process. The standard table width is 60 cm. In addition, there should be a pull-out space for the keyboard in the corner.Thus, the child will sit comfortably at the table and will not spoil his eyesight.
• To avoid injury from sharp corners, it is recommended to purchase rectangular work areas with rounded corners... Oval-shaped tables are also often found, but it is worth noting that they are not convenient to use and can have a negative impact on the student's posture.

• The height of the table is adjusted according to the height of the child and can be 75 or 80 cm.But in this indicator it is important to take into account the fact that the student will grow up quickly, therefore, the height of the structure can be adjusted using a footrest or by adjusting the chair.
• All shelving, pull-out drawers and shelves must be accessible for the child in any position. To avoid clutter and confusion in the boxes, they are picked up of medium depth. Thus, the necessary things and school supplies will be in place and will not create confusion.

Regardless of the size of the children's room, it will be easy to install a corner for a student with a wardrobe. So, for example, a green design would be an excellent choice for a one-room apartment. It is best to put it near the window, so the table will be well lit, and the wardrobe located on the side of the corner will play the role of zoning and provide good sound insulation.

If a teenager-girl grows in the house, then an elegant model, decorated in white and lilac shades, will suit her. Convenient shelves and a closet will be an excellent place to store a young fashionista's wardrobe, and a comfortable work area will positively affect productivity in class.

Often there are families where parents are raising several schoolchildren. In this case, the right choice would be to buy a compact corner, which will provide a workplace for each little family member. In addition to wardrobes, such models also provide a common desk and separate sleeping places.
