You can talk at length about canons in design, but every day the existing canons are becoming less and less stable. Aesthetics and harmony, balance, colors, materials brought together in order to obtain such a long-awaited result are the essence of your knowledge, practice and self-development. My motto is to learn, see, touch something new every day, and I am sure that this is the only way to stay on the right course in “high design.”

Placing your desktop near a window has many advantages:

• Firstly, maximum amount natural light;
• secondly, the ability to switch attention during long-term work;
• thirdly, space saving, which is achieved by installing a hybrid structure.

Today the mother in me, who strictly monitors the posture and vision of the child, and the designer, who is accustomed to a single interior, will speak in me. What is the difference computer desk from a worker, how to choose a model and why is the quality of materials important? I have already found answers to all these questions.

Let's take on the classification

Types and forms

• So, let's start with my favorite design - the "architect" table. The name does not link it to the profession; this design is suitable for pupils, students and people creative professions. The advantage of such a table is the tabletop with adjustable height and tilt.
  On the modern market you can find budget models from IKEA and designer ones with a big name. Thanks to its mobility, the table can “move” to a window or wall in one movement.

Models with an inclined tabletop will not allow you to install a computer, so decide in advance on the purpose of the table; perhaps the best option for you is a corner computer desk along the window.

• Children's desk. Again, “desk” may not be childish at all, but this phrase is optimal for describing the design. My humble opinion is that this is exactly what a schoolchild’s first table should be like. The advantage of this model lies in the ability to adjust the height of the tabletop and chair, if it is connected to the table into a single system.

• "Teacher's desk. Suitable for those who are accustomed to an abundance of boxes. I would not recommend it for children, since the design is not adjustable and cannot boast of mobility. If you install this desk in the nursery by the window, he will settle there for a long time.

Now a few words about the form. The traditional and most common is rectangular shape, which is in a row modern models can transform into a T-shape.

An additional top extends from the central part of the tabletop, which resembles a side table for visitors. I found such models in Origgi and Swenson. It is worth noting that such a desktop is best used for two and installed in the center of the room, and not near the window.

Corner models are a rather rare guest in catalogs if we are talking about desktops. More often they belong to the computer category and require the installation of an upper tier.

Rounded U-shaped “flow around” the seated person and allow for the most efficient use of work surface. Great example of this design is the Bean Desk table from Ceccotti (price - from 700,000 rubles).

A few words about design

The design of the desk should match the interior of the room, be it a nursery or an office.

Style	Description
Classical	The main condition of compliance classic style– natural materials, often wood valuable species . The design is quite heavy, comes with several cabinets, and has a blank wall. It is precisely because of the last point that I would not recommend placing such tables near a window under which the heating radiator is located. With its entire appearance, the table speaks of the status of its owner, so it will look foreign in a child’s room.
Country	If you are arranging a room for a schoolchild in a private home, why not turn it into a plot from the fairy tale “The Three Bears”. Despite its massiveness, the tabletop must be adjustable in height and angle of inclination. Such designs fit perfectly next to the window, since they do not have back wall and do not cover the batteries.
Modern	This category is dominated by lightweight materials, bright colors and a variety of shapes. I recommend choosing models for the children's room neutral shades with a smooth PVC countertop surface. Why? They are easier to wash and tolerate well wet cleaning, and even cleaning products with abrasive particles.
Ethnic	Such a table can hardly be called universal; it requires a special interior and is suitable only for offices. I would not recommend installing it near a window, since teak, rattan, bamboo and tropical wood do not tolerate being close to heating radiators.

3 ideas for two children

The biggest headache is placing two children at one table, or at two, or at one L-shaped table, or at two parallel ones, well, it’s already a headache.

Option #1

A long table that spans the entire wall takes the place of the window sill; in the upper part (on both sides of the window) you have the opportunity to mark out shelves.

This option requires the installation of a special back wall of the table that would allow warm air from the radiator.

Window decor also requires special attention; give preference to Roman blinds with a bright print.

Option No. 2

Two tables installed in one line - a solution that is suitable for rectangular rooms elongated shape. If the configuration of the room does not allow installation by a window, consider which side the natural light falls from (for a right-handed person it should fall from the left).

Option #3

Corner options are suitable for large rooms. If the design has, it is installed between the tables, delimiting the space.

If a computer is supposed to be placed on the table, install the equipment on the side of the table top.

And finally, a solution for very modest rooms. Pay attention to the folding tables with folding tops. If desired, they free up space for play in one movement.

Instructions for choosing the size of a table and chair for a child and teenager:

Summing up

When choosing furniture, remember that, first of all, it must comply with hygiene standards and the age of the child; style and design move into the background. This approach will be the key to maintaining the baby’s health and developing correct posture.

On the eve of the new school year Be sure to take at least one look at the video in this article, I’m sure it will be useful for you.

And I invite you to a discussion on the topic “What is important in children's furniture”?

If you want to express gratitude, add a clarification or objection, or ask the author something - add a comment or say thank you!

Currently, there are many different tables for schoolchildren, but choosing one a certain model not so easy. In most cases, the guideline for purchase is price and dimensions. Parents often forget about some other things that are no less important than cost and size.

Features and Requirements

The usual rectangular shape of a school tabletop for home is purchased by parents quite rarely. Now you can buy a table that is completely different in both shape and functionality from the original one. Let's consider the positive and negative points such an acquisition.

• Firstly, the arbitrary shape of the tabletop is undoubtedly interesting option. But this fact can develop incorrect posture in a schoolchild, because it is just being formed.
• Secondly, the most suitable and economical option for a children's room is the purchase of a corner school table. This is especially true for small apartments. After all, in addition to the work area for lessons, the teenager will also have plenty of space for other, no less important things. For example, he will be able to put his textbooks and notebooks no longer on work area, and in the locker. He will also like the pull-out shelves where he can hide his most secret things.

The requirements for such a table include the following aspects:

• The convenience of a corner model for a schoolchild will be guaranteed if its length is at least 1 m. Moreover, there should be free space, which can be used for a computer, for example, or cellular telephone. The student’s elbows should not hang down.
• It is also worth paying attention to the width. For a first-grader, 60 cm is usually enough, for older students - 80 cm. When installing a computer, the width should be even larger - about 1 m.
• It is worth paying attention to the height of the school table. The best option would be a distance from the floor of 70-90cm. Otherwise, the child will experience constant pain in the back area, as it will be uncomfortable for him to study at such a table.
• One more no less important point is the absence of sharp corners. Otherwise, the corners will be all frayed, and the child may be injured.

For girl

The appearance of a table for a girl in a children's room is a continuation of a previously invented fairy tale. The new attribute should be perceived with joy and serve as a kind of game object. Continuing to sort out toys, the little girl will gradually begin to get involved in the learning process, and playing school will help her with this. After all, here she can act as a teacher and assign homework to her animals and dolls.

The best option for arranging a table for a girl is a low tabletop, a chest of drawers or a bedside table with notebooks and toys, a shelf on top and again with toys. Choice color range- to the taste of the parents. And it doesn't have to be pink tones. The table can be selected to match the interior of the room. The main thing is that this attribute is not gloomy: it is advisable to use a light color palette.

For boy

Furniture for lessons is all for later. First, the first grader will place a garage for cars in the desk drawers; the tabletop will serve as a springboard for assembly newest model starship, and book shelves can be used for an airfield. And, of course, you can put a construction set under the table or put large equipment in the garage.

Gradually, typewriters will be replaced by various stationery, and half of the workspace will be taken up by notebooks - the main thing is to prompt the child in time so that the process of getting acquainted with school does not drag on.

For two children

Let's look at examples that can help arrange working space children's room with two children. Do not forget that every workplace, in addition to constant access and excellent lighting, should be equipped according to the individual needs of each child.

• If the size of the room is not too small, then you can create two independent workstations for each of the guys. Paired interior with the same school attributes - optimal choice For large room. After all, every child should have his own personal space. It is advisable to place tables with different sides so that the guys don’t interfere with each other doing their homework.
• A long rectangular table can be placed along the wall, divided into two work areas using a shelf. This choice is suitable for children who do not bother each other.
• The third model of the product for two children looks like a long tabletop with a divider in the form of a partition or cabinet. In this case, it is worth adapting a separate shelf for each child.
• For a large room, the best option would be a tabletop with a length of 1.6 m, which would divide the room along the window into two halves.
• Long L-shaped version. Children can be placed at different ends of the table so as not to interfere with each other.

For a teenager

The child grows up and needs more space. A computer appears on the table, which requires space for a system unit, monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Also, a high school student needs space for textbooks and books, and a student who is passionate about hobbies needs space for his subjects.

For girls at this age, tables with secret drawers and secrets are most suitable. Here they will be able to store their most intimate things: notes, diaries and much more. Let's not forget about cosmetics - this can also take up most of the space intended for study, unless, of course, there is no option for installing a dressing table.

Dimensions

There are several ways to determine the correct height of a children's study table for your home:

• The height of the table top and the child's solar plexus should be at the same level.
• The distance between the elbow of the lowered hand of a sitting schoolchild and the bottom of the tabletop should be 5 cm.
• If a sitting student puts his hands in front of him, then his shoulders should be in a natural state.
• The most comfortable distance between the bottom of the school furniture and the knees varies from 10 to 15 cm.

Shape and style

Nowadays you won’t surprise anyone with the variety of children’s study tables. However, you can create an original image of a nursery, and the study table will play a big role in this.

There are several variations of this attribute, which can be found below.

Desk

Reminds me of a school desk. If its dimensions are not very large, then it is suitable for a small children's room.

This type of children's furniture has several features. For example, a table model is most often equipped with shelves and niches at the bottom, thereby leaving the tabletop free. Add-ons are allowed, but only at the corner, so as not to block the light flow. The location of this table near the window will be optimal - you will get something similar to a children's corner.

Computer

There are three main options for such a table:

• Classical.
• Oval or semi-oval.
• Triangular or angular.

Most models in this category are equipped with various additions: pull-out shelves, footrest, multi-level mini-shelves. Here you can place both notebooks and stationery. And there is enough free space not only for a computer, but also for an MFP or printer. However, if this is not the case, then parents will still have to buy a desk.

Experts do not recommend putting a child to do homework at a computer desk for two reasons: due to limited work space and the constant distraction of the child from classes.

With shelves

In order to have enough space for educational material and not only, additional attributes are often acquired for the study table: shelves, racks, cabinets.

Hanging shelves are convenient - because now everything is at hand.

With add-on

Original version furniture, which includes an equipped workplace with attached drawers or shelves that are part of the learning space. This design solution fits well into a small room.

The original design allows you to disguise the table inside the cabinet, thereby saving space for something else.

Materials

When paying attention to the materials from which the furniture is made, focus on its safety, ease of care and wear resistance.

Below is a list of materials that are currently used to make a variety of school desks.

• Chipboard – best option for those parents who value quality great price. Thanks to its reliability, this furniture option will not only serve you faithfully for many years, but will also surprise you with its variety of colors and shapes.
• laminated chipboard– this material is cheaper than chipboard. However, you shouldn’t take a closer look at it for two very good reasons. Firstly, after some time it begins to release harmful toxic substances, which is unsafe for those sitting at such a table. Secondly, over time, such a table loses its presentable appearance. When purchasing, ask the seller for a safety certificate.
• MDF– furniture made from this material is quite good. Firstly, it is cheaper than its wooden counterpart. Secondly, he has a huge amount positive properties: excellent quality, presentable appearance, durable, strong, safe and easy to clean.
• Natural wood or array– this option is better to purchase for high school students, since they are more careful than elementary school students. The material is reliable, durable and environmentally friendly. However, such a copy is quite expensive.
• Plastic– a version of furniture made from this material is rarely on sale. But if you nevertheless find such a copy and decide to purchase it, then ask the seller for a quality certificate for the product. Make sure it is safe and the quality of the material is good.
• Combined table category– in the manufacture of this type of children’s tabletop, metal carcass and a table top made of wood. In this case Special attention It is worth paying attention to how the metal parts are painted, and the condition of the fittings and other parts.

Plastic has very noticeable disadvantages: it is not durable, after a short period of time scratches and other flaws will become visible on it. Therefore, such a table is suitable only for a first-grader, and after a while it can be replaced with something better.

Today, the school curriculum is such that even the youngest students have to sit at home at the table, doing homework for several hours at a time. We are not able to change the education system, but we can help our child, arrange his work area so that his studies at the table are convenient, comfortable and interesting.

Working area by the window in the nursery: photos of design options

Very often, parents are enthusiastically engaged in arranging a children's room, while resorting to the implementation of the most variety of options.

The work area by the window in the nursery, photos and videos of which you will see below, very often seduces parents. They are guided by the fact that natural light is much safer for vision.

No light bulb can do this quality lighting like natural sunlight. At the same time, one must also take into account the fact that daylight It is useful not only for vision, but also has a beneficial effect on the entire body as a whole.
