In addition to the theme of the environment, other characteristics must be taken into account before purchasing furniture.
The choice of furniture is something that usually leaves parents a little lost when setting up the baby’s room. This is because, in addition to variety, they are costly elements. For interior designer Mimy Anselmo, it is important to think about “durable furniture both in terms of quality and function”, so that they can meet the child’s next stages as much as possible.
Match the furniture to the theme
Furniture are items that must follow the style or theme chosen for the room. “For more romantic and classic rooms, elements such as frames, fillets, straw and arabesques, which can be mixed with more contemporary elements with straighter lines. In more modern rooms, more minimalist compositions, where you can invest in color as an element of charm and personality”, explains the interior designer.
Ergonomics and functionality
Architect and urban planner Marina Belotto adds that it is important that the furniture has the “greatest possible ergonomics, which has everything to do with a functional environment”. Therefore, she points out that the breastfeeding chair, for example, is interesting that it is comfortable and has a small support table next to it to put water for the mother.
Still thinking about functionality, Mimy Anselmo explains that, if possible, it is interesting add a support bed or a sofa bed in the baby’s room, “because, that night when the baby wakes up a lot, sometimes someone needs to spend the night there”.
Looking to the future
Another tip from Marina Belotto is to think about the future when choosing furniture pieces, so that you can use the furniture in other ways. “They are more functional for the baby’s early life and, at the same time, can be used at other times in the child’s life”, she says.
Furniture distribution
A furniture arrangement it is also something that needs to consider the baby’s growth. Mimy Anselmo warns: “because, if we create fixed elements, such as cabinets, panels and toy shelves, without thinking about the space the bed, the headache and expense in the future will be greater”.
