Color therapy in the children's room

Experts say that the child’s psyche is very sensitive to the environment, and vision is extremely sensitive to a variety of colors and shades. Therefore, exclusively soft, calm tones should prevail in the room of a baby under two years old. And only at a more mature age, a nursery can be the embodiment of bright colors and the most daring ideas in design.

Perfect combination

A combination of neutral blue shades in combination with a soft yellow palette may be optimal for the baby's room. This color scheme will create a feeling of comfort and security. And children's furniture in blue and yellow tones will add playfulness and even more fun to the children's interior. In such an environment, the baby will not only be able to relax with pleasure, but also comprehend new, interesting and useful information for him.

According to psychologists, already in four years, joyful and contrasting colors - pronounced red, yellow, blue, green, are favorable for the child.

Dark and light

When decorating a room of your native child, avoid dark spectral transitions, because any colors that smoothly turn into black have a depressing and aggressive effect on the children's psyche. Light colors, on the contrary, fill the room with a cheerful atmosphere, are very useful for the development of the child, give him strength and energy. An excellent solution is to use shades of ivory with golden splashes and blue tones for walls like the sky.

Harmony of two colors

Two-tone decoration in the baby’s room can also be a key design idea. The combination of sand and light green with an unobtrusive interspersing of the opposite shade of the same color scheme dilutes the monotony and gives the interior a kind of originality and picturesqueness. Gray pastel with orange elements or in contrast with delicate lilac looks no less elegant. And the traditional combination of green and pink, like a second wind, enlivens the interior, filling it with unflappable vitality, energy and purity.

Exciting red

An abundance of red is not the best solution for a nursery. At a subconscious level, it negatively affects the psyche - excites it, increasing pressure. In such an environment, the child may experience headaches, and sleep will be weak and anxious. But small bright objects do not hurt at all. Decorative red pots, coasters, pillows, curtains perfectly dilute solid pastel shades.

Blue accent

The presence of blue is often welcomed by designers in the design of children's rooms. It relieves muscle tension and generally has a positive effect on overall physical condition. But at the same time, cold tones should be used very carefully in the decoration, because often abundant blue can cause depression. In a nursery, such a color will be appropriate in the form of a light accent or an unobtrusive decor element.

Sunny yellow

Warm colors are a great choice for decorating a children's room. All shades of yellow activate mental activity, favorably affect eyesight, increase mood. But if your baby is very impulsive, subject to frequent changes in mood, choose calmer, colder tones.

Beneficial effect: green in the children's interior

Green tones - a true color therapy for a child: stabilizes eye pressure, helps to concentrate, normalizes breathing, promotes a sound and healthy sleep. If the decoration uses a different color as the main one, toys, children's pictures, book bindings, small pillows in a green palette - a great compromise in arranging a nursery.

More colors: orange for baby

Bright orange stimulates appetite, promotes digestion, but in the interior you need to be very careful - its abundance can cause overwork and sometimes dizziness. For a child, a pair of orange toys will be enough.

Psychology of Shades

An equally important issue in the design of the nursery is a harmonious combination of color shades. Traditionally, pinkish, peach tones are selected for the rooms of little princesses, and the rooms of young men are decorated with colder shades of blue, blue, gray. But today it is not necessary to adhere to this rule. Experts advise taking into account the influence of color on the emotional and even physical condition of the baby.

A favorable atmosphere in the children's room is created by clean and gentle shades of green, pink, yellowish and blue. A light pastel will noticeably transform even the darkest room, make it cozier and more comfortable, fill it with a completely different, lively atmosphere, much different from the uniformity in the rooms of the older generation.

Shades of lilac with the addition of light brown and beige will be original and interesting for the nursery. Many experts recommend the use of soft purple tones for the student’s room. They activate mental activity and help unleash creativity.

For babies from 1 to 3 years old and newborns, the pastel shades of pink, blue, peach, beige, and pale green will be the optimal color scheme. They act soothingly and perfectly soothe the baby.

The magic of bright colors

For older children, the room can be decorated with bright color drawings. Graceful butterflies, beautiful flowers, all kinds of animals, cartoon characters, fairy-tale characters perfectly develop their imagination and delight the most curious fidgets.

Children's toys can also serve as bright accents. But in this case, the general background of the room should be as neutral as possible. This is the best solution for those parents who are adherents of a more universal interior, without bright murals and drawings on the walls. And, of course, use the orange and red colors very carefully. The abundance of fiery colors will be the first irritant in the child's psyche.

Choose a color by nature

Relying on your own taste, when you color the nursery, you should also remember the temperament of your baby. So, for example, melancholy or little phlegmatic people will not be disturbed by bright colors in the form of stripes and zigzags on the bed sheets, harmoniously complementing each other with pink curtains and pink decoration on the wall with an ornament at the head of the crib. Such bright elements slightly activate the slow baby, will stimulate his curiosity and development.

Pale pink, turquoise, blue and blue are the best choice for a room of active fidgets - emotional sanguines and perky choleric. They favorably affect sleep, perfectly soothe and relax the baby after a day's wakefulness.

When choosing a color palette for a nursery, first of all, you need to ask the baby himself what colors he likes, because personal preferences express individuality.
