- A child’s room should evolve from a space for play and rest into one that also supports studying, storage and greater privacy.
- Architect Tjaša Justin advises planning furniture placement, the bed, desk, lighting, colors and storage with future changes in mind.
A child’s room does not remain the same for long. The space may begin as a place mainly for play and sleep, but later it must also accommodate studying, storage and more privacy.
That is why furnishing the room requires thinking several years ahead. Architect Tjaša Justin explains how to arrange the larger pieces of furniture, what to consider when positioning the bed and desk, and how to choose equipment that will not need replacing at every new stage of development.
The design also needs to leave enough room for play. Light, colors and storage surfaces all shape how useful the room will be as the child grows. Solutions that allow later adjustments can make those changes easier and avoid major interventions.
