Children's design in neoclassical style

Content:

Modern classics, also known as neoclassics, is a style that is suitable for decorating a child’s room. Elegant but simple objects, natural materials, simple shapes and natural shades allow you to create a cozy, comfortable and practical environment in which it is pleasant to study, engage in creativity, and spend leisure time. The style is equally good for both boys and girls of all ages, suitable for restless and calm guys.   

Characteristic features of style in the interior of a nursery

Neoclassicism rethought the values ​​of the classical and ancient trends in a modern manner, so functionality and convenience in it prevail over pretentiousness and decorativeness. Having taken all the best, the design has ceased to be heavy, massive, replete with dark shades and contrasting color combinations. 

The new classic is attractive due to its versatility, the ability to integrate technical innovations into the space and easily change it without renovation, simply by adding a few current design details. Among its features:

• proportionality and symmetry - the style tends towards restraint and neatness, and therefore requires a rational arrangement of furniture and a linear arrangement of objects. There is no place for sharp asymmetrical accents, as in Art Deco, Pop Art or Fusion;

• pastel shades - the leading color palette is natural: sand, brown, beige, gray. The inclusion of blue, pink and soft green tones allows you to avoid monotony;

• minimum decor - multilayer window textiles, stucco molding, carvings exist in neoclassicism in a lightweight form. This allows you to get away from heaviness and pretentiousness.

In general, the direction can be characterized in one word - moderation. This is a simplified, no-frills design with a hint of the unobtrusive presence of the classics. 

How to choose a color

The predominant colors are selected taking into account the size, geometry and lighting of the children's room. The palette can be varied, but always muted. In design, it is important to avoid sharp contrasts; each tone smoothly transitions into another. This allows you to create an interior shrouded in calm and tranquility. To easily transform the space, you can use splashes of slightly brighter, but not flashy colors. 

The following combinations can be considered optimal for decorating a nursery in neoclassical aesthetics:

• gray-white with the addition of pink, turquoise and sea green;

• sand beige, diluted with chocolate or peach accents;

• white-beige, complemented by olive or pistachio.

If necessary, the nursery can be replete with coffee and dark gray tones. The main thing is that it be spacious. 

What materials are suitable for finishing?

Neoclassicism is lenient with finishing materials and does not require the presence of expensive textiles, wood and stone. It is possible to use their cheaper analogues, but which reliably imitate the texture. The walls are painted, wallpapered or decorative plaster is applied. Laminate, parquet, tiles and even linoleum are laid on the floor. You can even incorporate suspended ceilings with lighting and glossy furniture facades into the new classics. 

Neoclassical furniture

The versatility of the style is also reflected in the way the nursery is furnished. You can give preference to round-shaped furniture with curved legs or more laconic models. You can also combine classical and modern geometry through texture, color or layout. For example, a rectangular sofa bed without any frills can be complemented with a carved cabinet, a traditional chair with a curved back and a minimalist desk. 

Upholstered furniture can be upholstered with fabric in light or dark colors, and cabinet furniture can contrast in color with the walls and floor. In addition to the obligatory bed, table and wardrobe, a good solution would be to arrange a recreation area. Armchairs, poufs and a coffee table will help you decorate a cozy corner. It is also worth highlighting the playing area with a Swedish wall.     

Neoclassical style decor in children's design

A child's bedroom should not look boring and lifeless, which can happen due to the abundance of restrained shades. Therefore, the space should be diluted with various decorative elements. These can be garlands, floral motifs and geometric prints, wooden accessories, framed images of animals, installations. Stop at one or two solutions so as not to oversaturate the decor with details and accents. They should attract the eye, but not be intrusive.   

A girl’s nursery will become more expressive with the help of a canopy, stucco elements, paintings in gilded frames, stained glass inserts - everything that creates the feeling of a palace hall and makes her feel like a princess. Boys will love the marine theme. Let there be a globe, a steering wheel, ropes in the environment - only amazing adventures lie ahead.
