A successful design for a children's room is a complex task that requires thoughtful thinking and planning. It is useful to know the various considerations for our choices and their influence on the correct planning of the space, the colors, the natural light and the various areas of use.

Within the design planning for the children's room, issues such as safety, comfort, aesthetics and durability over time should not be ignored. To take into account that the design will be able to serve us in the future as well and for that it will be able to grow up with the child. So how do you do it?

Assaf Taichman, Vice President of Doron Furniture, gives us the teacher of the mazes in the field.

Color selection: Color selection begins with the user's definition and preference. The recommendation is to choose a light color as the basis for the room's color, and with the light color to combine the dominant color of the room that gives it its uniqueness and personal signature. The dominant color can be reflected in the accompanying accessories integrated in the room or in a careful combination of the colors already in the furniture. The choice of colors must be balanced in the appropriate combinations and in the right dosage. Choosing a dominant dark color is possible and then balance it with a combination of light colors that will soften the space.

The style of the furniture: When deciding on the style of the furniture, do not compromise on quality and style. Choose furniture with a design in classic lines that will form the right basis for changes in the room over the years and can be an anchor for the renewal of the room in different styles in the future.

Examining the quality of furniture: The quality of the furniture will be determined by the raw materials from which they are made. The type and quality of the wood will affect the appearance of the furniture due to the advantages and disadvantages of each material. Spend time checking the quality of the materials and choosing durable materials that age gracefully and can be cleaned easily - this emphasis is especially for children's rooms that tend to be prone to messes.

Safety: Choose furniture that is durable over time and in their construction, a lot of thought was invested in protecting them and the user, for example - does the furniture have a bottom edge to protect it from moisture? Does the furniture have legs that separate and adjust from the floor? Are the shelves in the closet full depth? Does the cabinet have a silent and safe slam?

Raw materials: A raw material suitable for children's rooms is one that protects the wooden pallet from scratches and scuffs. Choose a piece of furniture with a long warranty and check what the warranty includes, referring to cracks in the wood, treating the drying out of the "eyes" of the wood or resin leaks emitted from the wood. A real warranty is also what friends say and on social networks.
