Desk for girls
In the nursery there should be a place not only for recreation and entertainment, but also for study. The working area is usually perceived as a place where there are no elements distracting from lessons, but still the child should be comfortable here.
In practice, this means that a girl needs a special desk and properly designed work area.
Features and benefits
The main feature of a special desk for a girl is that it should not resemble a school setting. As practice shows, even those children who show a certain interest in knowledge are rarely addicted to school education, but at home, in a pleasant atmosphere, is another matter.
A table can also contribute to this, the main difference between which from any other is a cute design especially for a girl.
The advantages of a special table for a young lady are as follows:
- The furniture is selected under the parameters of the child. - This applies to the height of the table top and highchair. The table is also equipped with the necessary drawers - all conditions are created in order to study was convenient.
- Good transforming models quite often allow to change position of table-top over time and its angle of inclination, so once a table is purchased, it will be equally convenient for a first grader as well as for a graduate.
- If school is often associated with forcing and driving uninteresting knowledge into the head, then a beautiful home table - on the contrary, can become a symbol of comfort, convenience and interesting development.
Kinds
Desks for girls are available in a wide variety of options, and the products are not only beautiful, but also functional.
We can distinguish not only classical designs, but also the following common variations:
- Corner table. Differs special compactness. Sitting behind him, the girl has a tabletop and in front of her and on the side. This makes it possible to reach more table space. On these tables often install another computer.
- With superstructure. Storage boxes under the table have already become a familiar addition, and in recent years, models with shelves above the table top are also very popular. This is convenient, as the space not only under the table is useful, but also above it.
- Double. If there are two children in the nursery at once, you can buy a table for two girls - one common tabletop will take up less space than two separate ones, and will help to divide the room into zones more practically.
Styles
Most often, when purchasing a table for a girl, furniture in the classical style is chosen - with standard color schemes and typical shape. However, other options are acceptable.
For example, a girl might like a minimalist writing desk that does not have any decorations - and even without drawers. The edges of such a table must necessarily be rounded, otherwise it will resemble a high-tech, closer to the boys.
An interesting solution would be a writing table in a romantic style. Often it is performed in pink colors and has a small area in the depths above the tabletop where you can put small favorite toys or a portrait of an idol from the world of celebrities.
Materials
In the child's room is best to buy only such pieces of furniture and accessories that are made of natural materials. In this regard, materials of woody origin are the most accessible and practical.A table made of solid wood is hardly needed for a girl. However, if you want something really durable, then the option is suitable.
Probably the most appropriate material will be MDF. They are made of pressed wood waste, but at the same time they have high durability and are environmentally safe. At a price several times more profitable than a table from an array, such a product will be no less practical.
Chipboard (like plastic) is usually not recommended to use because of the high probability of toxic secretions. As for the metal, it is durable, but too cold and traumatic.
Colors
Modern capabilities of manufacturers allow you to buy a table of any color, but the work area requires that the child is not too distracted from his main occupation. This condition significantly limits the possible palette, but still you can choose any tone - if it is not too bright.
A typical solution for a girl is a white writing desk - this color is in principle well combined with any other colors and their combinations, and it also fits into the typical pastel range of rooms of young ladies. A very special option - a pink table, designed exclusively for girls, but not always appropriate even for them.
If the interior allows, you can pay attention to the tables of typical wood shades.
How to choose?
When choosing a table for a girl, you need to take into account her needs, both at the present moment and in the future. Usually a desk is bought for a child not younger than 7 years old, so he must be equipped with boxes for storing notebooks and textbooks, and even personal belongings. The latter is especially true for teenagers from 12 years and older.
The child should be comfortable spending hours at the table.
Given that the height of the tabletop greatly affects the correctness of the formation of the child’s posture, choose a table and chair so that the tabletop is approximately at the level of the baby’s elbow. You can buy a table with a small margin - as for a schoolgirl of 8-9 years, because the girl will still grow quickly. So that the table does not have to be changed after a few years, try to buy a transformer that allows you to change the height of the tabletop, but you can also solve the problem with the help of a chair with an adjustable seat.
Work Area Organization Rules
For maximum convenience and productive stay in the work area will have to try a lot to bring together the requirements for the table and chair. It is believed that the distance from the child’s knees to the tabletop should not exceed 15–20 cm, while the child sitting on the chair must confidently reach the floor with his feet. Although you can simply adjust a small chair or any other elevation under your feet - this is the only way to form a correct posture.
The task would not be so difficult if the child did not grow, but it grows, therefore, for additional support, a comfortable chair back is necessary, and the armrests also do not interfere.
It is considered that the source of light should be in front of and to the left of the girl, but it is unacceptable for him to hit in the eyes or blind. If there is a computer on the same desk, you need to provide sufficient space for writing and textbooks, but remember that the technique can distract attention and interfere with learning.
Where to put?
Most often, the working area of the children's room is placed at the window. This perfectly saves space, allows you to maximize the use of natural light for the eyes, and psychologically relaxes a tired child, allowing you to escape to the landscape. The disadvantages of such an arrangement are easily smoothed out — too much light from the window and an overly interesting landscape outside the window are blocked with the help of thick curtains, and the rear wall of the table will reliably protect against disturbing batteries.
A writing desk is also appropriate against the wall - then the shelves for books can be hung directly on it, and anything else will not distract the little one from the work.True, there will be less natural lighting here, and artificial lighting may not be enough - in this case, use table lamps.
If the child is very tired, hang over the table any pictures or images for moral rest, which can be periodically changed for a change.
Beautiful room design ideas
- If the little princess lives in the children's room, and you are ready to change the table over time, when it grows over, you can give her a little dream - a real pink table. It looks very romantic, while this table is very practical and convenient for learning and for creativity.
- White table of a gentle shade Also like the baby, but it looks much more versatile. With a cozy and homely image, it can be very roomy, if its design provides for both drawers and superstructures - there you can store a large number of things.
- If a girl likes order and minimalism, you can choose a strict table for it, something a bit like hi-tech, but still in a softer implementation. In shape, it can be angular - then it is possible to combine a large tabletop with natural light and the placement of spacious shelves directly on the wall above the table.
