What questions should we ask ourselves, parents, when buying children furniture? What are the requirements to it is necessary to show, what not to forget at the store? Let’s talk about what should not be forgotten.

From Mr. children’s.Doors

Environmentally friendly materials — a prerequisite

The furniture in the nursery should be made of materials that are safe for the health of the child. It means to be Hypo – allergenic and or toxic.

The ideal option would be children’s natural wood. Covering its varnish or paint also should not be a cause for concern for parents. There are many coatings for wood on a natural, harmless to human health basis. When setting up the baby’s room, it is best to give preference to wooden furniture of such coatings. If there is any doubt, you can find just headsets well polished without any coating. In this case, parents must understand that the appearance of the surfaces could not be maintained for as long as I would like (drawings, scratches, stains, etc.).

Good material for furniture in the nursery — MDF. Binding substances are safe lignin and paraffin. Besides, this furniture is cheaper than wood, and it may even surpass the natural material.

Cheap and therefore quite popular children’s furniture made of particleboard greatly inferior wood and MDF for the parameter “environment”. For the production of chipboards is used the binder containing formaldehyde. Their concentration in different types of particleboard are different. For the manufacture of children’s furniture is allowed to use only chipboard E1 class, where the content of toxic substances is quite low. So before you buy child wardrobe or a bed of chipboard, ask what exactly the material they are made.

Children’s furniture should be safe

Will focus on categories such as strength, quality of finishing of edges, polishing and corners.

Despite the fact that the furniture in the nursery demands on her stamina should be no less than to the adult. When buying you need to remember that on the bed you can jump, and in the cabinets and drawers easy to hide. Special attention should be paid to the strength and number of the slats from bed, pull-out mechanisms (it is better to choose a good telescope), quality and correct installation of fixtures, as well as the bottoms and rear walls of the drawers and cabinets.

The quality of the edges — the key to the lack of on body toddler unnecessary splinters and scratches. And to destroy the furniture with the right edge of the face sides will be much harder.

Corners — special question. Go back to your childhood. Have you ever thought about what the furniture should be round? Indeed, the furniture in the nursery is wiser to choose with smooth forms. If sharp corners can not be avoided, then make sure that they were “hidden” deeper and were not in the zone of activity of the child.

Color psychology

The choice of color should be treated very carefully, if your kid has any of the psychological complexity. This applies to hyperactive children, who often find it difficult to concentrate, or, conversely, prone to laziness and impressively, and the kids cranky, short-tempered, aggressive, etc.

From Mr. children’s.Doors

How does color affect us? In short, the addiction will be as follows:

• white — neutralizes the irritation, but prolonged exposure to tiring;
• red — hot, improves performance, stimulates cognitive activity and, they say, improves the immune system;
• shades of blue enhance concentration, improve memory and emotional state;
• green — calms and relaxes;
• yellow stimulates mental activity;
• brown — calms, gives a sense of security;
• grey — gives confidence;
• black — on the one hand, helps to concentrate, on the other — sometimes depressing.

At the same time, not be treated categorically to the use of a particular color. Remember about the wonderful possibilities of their combinations and color zoning of the room. It would be practical, stylish and reasonably from the standpoint of psychology.
