Features of shelving in the form of houses

In a room where children under the age of 10 live, you can install a rack in the form of a house. Such furniture will make the design of the room more expressive, the child will receive his own little children's house and functional storage places, where he will always have something to put.

Cold minimalism, meticulously clean room, straight lines of shelving, equal proportions - all this is not for children. They are just beginning to learn about the world, their imagination draws around them houses, trees, boats, flowers, clouds. Children do not want to live in a boring world of rectangular shapes, where everything is perfectly arranged on the shelves, straight and with the same proportions.

A rack in the form of a house, tree, rocket, lighthouse will delight them and become a real habitable place. Children will want to arrange toys and books themselves in furniture with ladders and windows, a roof and doors. By putting things in order in the house, the kids are sure that the toys live in it, the children develop imagination, they learn to clean, take care of dolls and toy cars, which will further form in them a sensitive attitude towards people and animals. It turns out that a child with a shelving in the form of a house at the same time acquires high-quality furniture, a developing toy and excellent decor in the interior.

In addition to the benefits for children's development, capacity and spectacular appearance, the houses are also available for every family, they do not belong to the expensive category of furniture.

It is not necessary to build a full-wall house; you can make a compact wall-mounted or desktop version.

If you get a roomy floor house, and you don't want to traditionally install it against the wall, it will look great in the center of the room, or will divide the children's room into a play area and a place to study or sleep.

We figured out the size and place of the curly rack, now let's turn to the materials from which the children's cabinet furniture is assembled. There are quite a few options - wood, MDF, drywall, plastic, fabric, glass and even metal. It is not recommended to use chipboard for a children's room. In the creation of these plates, toxic impregnations are used; when the temperature rises, they evaporate into the surrounding space.

As for the design features of shelving houses, they, like traditional counterparts, can be open, closed, combined, have drawers, niches. In addition to floor, wall and table options, corner models are also produced. They belong to the dimensional shelving-walls, which reproduce a fragment of the whole "city". Each wall section is decorated with its own roof.

At first glance, a children's shelving in the form of a house looks like a simple structure - a square around the perimeter and two boards set in the form of a pointed roof.

We have prepared a selection of beautiful children's furniture, which clearly presents a variety of shelves and cabinets, reproduced by a rich designer's imagination.

To begin with, consider the shelving with ladders. They imitate a multi-storey building with steps to the upper floors, windows, interior doorways and even a balcony.Wider steps are used as miniature shelves. Despite the active semantic load, there is enough space on the shelves for a variety of children's things.

At the most tender age, boys and girls prefer to play with different toys, over time this trend becomes even more obvious. Taking into account the different tastes of kids, designers produce a variety of doll houses and roomy racks for collections of cars.

Some designs, in addition to exhibition spaces, contain a sloped shelf, on which it is convenient for cars to roll. In other houses, drawers are built between the shelves, into which spare parts from broken cars and other things important for boys can be folded.

Dollhouses are available in a large assortment. It is every girl's dream to have such a toy rack in her nursery. The structure is arranged in the form of a multi-storey building with rooms for various purposes. Each "room" is furnished with its own furniture, among which whole families of dolls live.

When the design of a children's room is subordinated to the theme of "city", it is difficult to do with one house. They produce furniture sets in the form of open and closed shelves, each of which has its own roof and is one of the "buildings" built on the "city street".

• Simple open design with a series of drawers at the bottom.

• The interior of the children's room is decorated with two sets of closed shelving houses, separated by an illustrated tree. On the improvised crown there are shelves made in the form of bird houses.

• Another option for an integrated approach to the placement of shelves is in mini-houses and on a tree.

• This model of closed shelving is decorated with mirrored windows. Reflection of a real room, creates the impression of habitability of furniture houses. The functionality of the product is enhanced by seven drawers.

• The alternation of open and closed shelving with cozy windows resembles a row of houses on a beautiful city street.

We looked at how shelving along the wall can be disguised as a street with houses. But there is another option for a large-scale design of shelves - to place them in a single large house with a roof, door and windows. In this configuration, the wall not only acquires functional storage places, but also becomes a decoration of the children's room. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with two examples of "large houses" equipped for a girl and a boy.

Continuing the topic of using shelves in a general furniture ensemble, we will consider ways to combine them with such important furnishings as cabinets, tables, beds, and also see how houses of different sizes harmonize with each other.

• The large tricolor building combines open shelves with glazed storage areas. The house has an entrance door with a number and a street lamp, which hides a wardrobe behind it. In the center there is a small table for a young student. The wood adjacent to the house is not just a part of the interior, but also a magnetic board.

• The second example relates to a boy's room, where the work table is practically integrated between two pretty houses, set on support legs.

• In this room there is a little girl's bed found its place between the cabinet and the shelving.

• Twin houses for boys and girls.

• Wall-mounted mini-houses for little things.

In interiors that are subordinate to a certain style, the racks are selected in accordance with the surrounding environment. There are directions in which the houses can be easily integrated - this refers to cozy, cheerful, village stories.

• Rural theme in the children's room supported by brickwork, soft carpet lawn and furniture in the form of a mill, grandfather clock, a simple country-style house. All these products contain shelves and niches for storing children's items.

• Provence in the children's room felt in a rustic shelving house, painted in delicate colors, with doors in the form of a palisade.

• French village theme can be traced in a rack, pasted over with textiles. He creates a cozy atmosphere on the terrace.

Furniture houses seem attractive to many, children are delighted with them, and mothers are happy to buy them. To choose the right shelving, stylized for a house, you need to consider:

• the age of the child;

• room dimensions;

• the purpose of the rack;

• the overall design of the room.

It is better to introduce small open cabinets into compact rooms, they retain a lot of air and light.

If a house is bought for a crumb, it is not necessary to choose mini-options. Let the baby grow and find something new for himself on every next shelf.
