Very often the size of an ordinary children's room is approximately 9-10 square meters. With this size of room, it is much easier to plan suitable furniture for one child than to create a functional room for two. Today we will show some ways to set up a 9 sqm children's room for a child aged 3 to 10 years. The drawn floor plans clearly show the distribution of furniture and are equally suitable for boys and girls. No matter what your space situation is, with proper planning it really is possible to create a comfortable, functional and fairly spacious space in just 9 square meters.
General tips for furnishing children's rooms
If possible, try thatDesk by the windowto place. The bed can be removed from the window and should ideally be in one corner of the room. The desk must not be less than 1200 mm long. The depth should be at least 600 mm and preferably 700-750 mm. Children between 1.5 and 3 years are allowed to sleep in a single bed. A bed with a lying area of 190 x 90, 200 x 90 or 200 x 100 cm is ideal for the children's room.
A wardrobe and a bookshelf should not be missing in the children's room. If a larger closet visually squeezes into a small space, you can combine a wardrobe with a chest of drawers instead or simply opt for two small wardrobes. The minimum width of the cabinet in this case would be either 700-800mm or 1000-1100mm.
Example No.1: Functional zoning in 9 sqm
Advantages:
The room is visually divided into three zones that perform a specific function: there is an area for sleeping, for getting dressed and for studying. Since the furniture is arranged along the walls, there is plenty of space in the middle for running around and playing.
The desk is in the brightest spot and the bed is furthest from the door. Given the layout, you can also place a spacious closet opposite the bed, combined with a shelf for books and toys.

Disadvantages:
In general, the space and furnishings are well thought out, but there is no space for receiving the child's friends.
Tips for parents:
The desk can be placed so that it is parallel to the window - now there is little natural light for writing or reading.
Since the bed is in a corner, you should plan an additional light source near the headboard, especially if the child likes to read or play in bed in the evening. Near the closet, we recommend a large bean bag, a bench or a compact mini sofa where the child's visiting friends can sit.
Example #2: successful planning
Advantages:
The layout provides for the arrangement of all the necessary furniture necessary for the preschool child (school child). A table lamp next to the bed on the desk can also serve as a decorative bedside lamp.
A large standing shelf opposite the foot of the bed allows you to place toys, books, small items and school supplies in one place. In addition to the desk, there is also a spacious wardrobe for storing clothes, shoes and linens.
Disadvantages:
There are no disadvantages, the 9 sqm space is well planned.
Tips for parents:
Place a soft, warm carpet in the center of the room. It should be robust and easy to clean. A dense carpet feels cozy under your feet and at the same time dampens noise.
Example #3: U-shaped layout
Advantages:
If the children's room is rectangular, it is possible to visually divide the space into two functional areas: an area for studying and one for sleeping.
The desk is placed in front of the window and forms an L shape with the bookcase placed on the long wall. The bed and wardrobe are far from the window.
This furniture arrangement leaves free space in the middle and along one of the long walls. This means you can move from bed to closet and from bed to desk undisturbed.
Disadvantages:
It can be quite dark in the sleeping area.
Tips for parents:
Ensure good lighting in the sleeping and dressing areas. A wall light next to the headboard and a few recessed lights on the ceiling in front of the wardrobe are sufficient. An additional mirror on the wardrobe door is also useful and will reflect the light from the window.
Example No. 4: a narrow children's room
Advantages:
This layout allows you to keep the passage from the door to the opposite window clear. The bed is behind the door, so it is not immediately visible when entering the room. The desk is placed across the window and combined with a wardrobe. Together they form a functional design. The child's friends can sit on the sofa opposite the desk.
Disadvantages:
The proximity of the bed to the door may not be optimal,when drafts arise. The noise from outside can also affect sleep.
Tips for parents:
If the room is rectangular and the window is at the other end of the room, you don't need thick curtains that overwhelm the ambience. It's best to choose pleated blinds or translucent curtains. These allow a pleasant amount of light to pass through and immerse the room in a wonderful atmosphere.
