Zoning of the room: Learning to properly divide space

What is zoning premises? This division of the space of residential rooms into separate sectors, in each of which will be convenient to engage in some kind of activity

Professor Preobrazhensky in the famous book Bulgakov «dog’s heart» outraged by the proposal emanating from the facility to dine in the living room and operate in the observation.

He believed that each process should occur in a premises specially intended for him. Unfortunately, modern layouts do not always give us a chance to use square meters at our request, rather, we must adjust your needs under them. Zoning helps to solve this problem. 

What tasks helps to solve zoning?

In small-sized apartments, the following tasks most often solve:

• Divide room space on the sector for recreation and living room;
• Visually in the kitchen room create a working area and a place to receive guests;
• Allocate place to work – separate the computer desk from the sector, where they watch TV and rest;
•  Try to beat the space so that the rooms seem to seem more;
• If the apartment is one-room, then you have to solve more complex tasks: age division of sectors, solitude problem solitude for a comfortable stay and sleep;
• With the help of a skilled design, you can change the space so that at different times the day of the proportion of individual zones will look different in magnitude. 

Adult premises Custom to zone:

• Bedroom – work area;

• kitchen – living room;

• dining room – kitchen;

• Living room – Bedroom. 

More extensive requirements are presented to children’s rooms. 

Children’s separation into separate zones

Even if the residential premises are a multi-room, for children rarely who takes more than one room. Of course, parents try to create all the conditions for children to be comfortable and convenient: a special decor of the room helps in this. Zoning the children’s room shares the room into several sectors, which differ in their functionality, but together create a common organic ensemble. 

You can do without zoning, but whether it will be convenient to do lessons between children’s toys, constantly distracting attention, or sleep next to the sports shell?

Thanks to zoning, each thing has its place – the child is in charge of accuracy, and each action occurs within the framework of a separate space. 

If there are only 2 rooms in the apartment, the zoning of an adult living room and children’s room is necessary. Otherwise, guests will be invited to invite – solid sleeping places. The correct division into separate segments of the residential zone visually expands the space. 

To better imagine what the separation of the room to segments is to remember how zoning groups in kindergarten is carried out. Children of the same age are in a large room, in which a single bedroom, separately – game, separately – dining room.

Such a separation is convenient, practical and hygienic. 

Methods for creating individual zones

Zoning a children’s room can be done:

• partitions;
• curtains;
• special decorative elements – arches;
• furniture;
• shirms;
• Curtains. 

To distinguish the space, you can lift the floor covering in the desired sector. Accepted premises to divide on sectors for sleep, games, special occupations and household needs. 

Requirements for the working area

It should be located furniture objects: a written table with a chair that will be able to adjust the child’s height as we grow up, and bookshelves. Transformer shelves are more suitable for the boy, which are simulated in the form of coatings for the table – you can play some board games with buddies, for girls it is better to provide stationary structures.

Even the most business girls will definitely put on books and textbooks toys, some postcards with your favorite actors – it should be thought about it in advance. 

It is advisable to separate the working zone from the rest of the space by opaque partitions. It will help the child to do lessons without being distracted by foreign items. 

Separately, it is worth talking about the lighting of the workplace. The light should be bright, but not blinding. 

The furniture is selected with coatings from materials that are easy to wash away from pollution: ink ballpoint handles, markers, plasticine, paints. 

It is considered possible for the desktop to use the window sill zone. Daylight comes from the window, and on the windowsill can be installed, for example, a computer unit. 

Place for the game

In the children’s room, the sector must be provided for the game. 

In kindergarten, the main component of this area is the carpet. For young children, this floor covering element is also needed. 

Toys can be hidden in special boxes, suspended in multi-tiered grids mounted on the inner door surface. 

The walls can be placed a sports complex – a horizontal bar with a hanging rope and the Swedish wall do not occupy a lot of space. It is especially important to provide a place for sports when zoning the baby boy. Boys are movable, they need space to splash physical activity. Place for the game should be located as you can further From the window. 

Place for rest

The main thing in the creation «Bedrooms» In one of the sectors of the children’s room – the right placement of the bed. It is desirable to be located next to it there is a bedside table, on which a table lamp with inappropriate lighting and items necessary for the child for the night will be located: Favorite toy, a book, a glass of water.

In the zoning of the children’s room for the girl, the bed is advisable to separate from the rest of the Space. This is especially desirable to provide if the girl is already a teenager.

Then guests visiting her will feel in the present living room. Baby you can put the baby on the bed – she will feel like a princess. 

Boys are less sensitive to decorative elements. Most of them prefer stationary bedrooms folding beds, which in the afternoon it is easy to fold, freeing the excess place for moving games. 

Household zone

Under the household zone in the nursery implies a place where the personal belongings of the child lie: Clothes and shoes. Sometimes it is advisable to restrict ourselves to a small cabinet where things will be stored. The overall clothing can be stored with the parent. 

If there is no such possibility, then in the child’s room it is worth providing a place for the wardrobe, which, when zoning the bedroom in the nursery, will play the role of the delimiter. Thanks to the large object of furniture, the room can be divided into 2: small «coupe» – Sleeping, and day zones.

In this case, the back of the cabinet to the child is allowed to stick with different posters, cards, images of the heroes of favorite cartoons or portraits of idols. At home, the division of the room on the zone helps to teach the child to the discipline.
