Es ist ein Ort zum Spielen, zum Lernen und zum Runterkommen – ein Mini-Universum, das alle Stücke spielt: das Kinderzimmer. Wir geben Ihnen zusammen mit Team 7 wertvolle Tipps, wie Sie ein Kinderzimmer so gestalten, dass es den Bedürfnissen Ihres Kindes gerecht wird – von der Babyzeit bis ins Teenageralter.
“A child’s room must not only be beautiful, but also give them the confidence to let off steam to their heart’s content,” says Georg Emprechtinger, managing owner of TEAM 7. It is precisely this idea that should be the focus when it comes to furnishing a child’s room. But how do you design this room so that it not only meets the needs of a growing child today, but also in years to come?
From baby dreams to teen terrain: furniture that grows with you for long-lasting enjoyment
The key to a practical and adaptable children’s room lies in choosing the right furniture. Especially in the early years, the children’s room is quickly transformed – from a changing area to a sleeping area, then to a play paradise and finally to a room where homework is done and friends come to visit.
“Our kids range focuses on gently rounded edges and modular furniture that can be adapted to changing needs,” explains Emprechtinger. A height-adjustable desk that previously served as a changing table or a bed that can be converted from a crib to a bunk bed are just some of the practical solutions that grow with the child and can accompany the room for years to come. Flexibility becomes a design concept.
Feel-good factor: natural materials and smart storage in the children’s room
Not only functionality, but also well-being plays a central role. Emprechtinger: “Wood creates a cozy atmosphere that radiates security and warmth.” Furniture made of solid wood without harmful substances also promotes a healthy indoor climate and is particularly easy to care for.
Roll-out and pull-out cupboard elements for toys, books and clothes are a practical solution. This creates space and keeps the room neat and tidy even in turbulent times. At least in theory …
Small rooms, big impact: Cleverly furnishing children’s rooms
Even though space in a children’s room is often limited, a functional and aesthetic concept can be realized even in small rooms. Tip from the professional: “Clear structuring is more important than size.” A small amount of timeless furniture combined with functional elements such as folding shelves or wall modules ensure that the room does not appear cluttered.
Colors that create a sense of security
Emprechtinger knows that the right choice of colors can create a cozy atmosphere: “The most important thing is which colors make the child feel comfortable.” Soft shades of pink and natural nuances such as light green, beige or blue create a warm, relaxing atmosphere. Colors such as orange or yellow are ideal for lively accents. The more subtle, the better: this way, the room remains appealing even if the children’s preferences change.
Retreats for rest and relaxation
In addition to sleeping, playing and working, a child’s room should also offer space for rest and relaxation. Small retreat areas, such as a cave under a loft bed or a cozy seating area, invite you to come to rest, look at a book or listen to radio plays.
The furniture from TEAM 7 also offers clever solutions here: For example, a cupboard element can be converted into a seating niche – another way in which furniture can be flexibly adapted to children’s needs.
One thing is certain: with well thought-out furniture, creative interior design and lots of attention to detail, every children’s room has the potential to become a favorite place for kids of all ages.
TEAM 7 from Ried im Innkreis has been producing sustainable solid wood furniture since the 1980s and is considered an eco-pioneer. The range covers all living areas and is made from hardwoods from sustainable forestry and treated with natural oil.
