A children's desk that fits beautifully in the living room; How to choose the right size
January. The Christmas tree out, fresh start in. And yes, that fresh start may include a makeover of your living room. But how do you combine that stylish interior of yours with a children's desk without feeling like the ball pit of the local daycare center has been unleashed?
Here's how to choose a children's desk with the right dimensions that is not only nice for your child, but also for your eye.
Why a children's desk in the living room?
Let's face it: the kitchen or dining table isn't made for homework, crafts, or those inevitable glitter projects. And yet the children always end up there. A children's desk in the living room offers a fixed place, freeing up your table for coffee and candles. In addition, having your own desk is a stimulus for creativity and structure.
How to choose the perfect dimensions for your children's desk?
A children's desk is all about balance: big enough for your child, but small enough not to take over the entire living room. Here are the basics:
The Height: A desk of 50-60 cm high is ideal for children from 3 years old. Do you want the desk to last until the teenage years? Then choose an adjustable model, such as the Clover Living Wall Desk , which grows with your child.
The worktop: A top of at least 60 cm deep and 80-100 cm wide offers space for a laptop, homework and a large tray of markers. Enough space for everything, without the desk dominating your interior.
Storage space: A desk with drawer unit, decorative storage basket or a stool with hidden storage is a lifesaver. The more you can store, the less clutter you see. And that is good for your head and your living room.
A children's desk that suits your style
You want a children's desk that doesn't clash with the rest of your interior. How do you do that?
Material and Color: Go for wood: it is timeless, sturdy and fits in almost any living style. Choose calm tones such as white, beige, or olive green, so that the desk blends with the rest of your living room.
Location: Find a place where your child has enough light, such as near a window. And place the children's desk desk in such a way that you keep an overview, without it being in the middle of the living room.
Styling: Complete the children's desk with some subtle accessories: a lamp , a table plant or an organizer. This way it remains functional and cozy.
Practical maintenance: This is how you keep it tidy
You know how it goes: markers that land just next to the paper, glue in places where it shouldn't be and a layer of cookie crumbs as a finishing touch. That's why maintenance of your children's desk is at least as important as its design.
