You can install case models along the wall, in the corner of the room. The advantage of such products is mobility, they are easy to move or move when moving;
• in embedded products there are no side and rear walls. Shelves are fixed directly to the wall. Toys, as a rule, have a small weight, so such compact cabinets can be created in drywall niches. For heavy toys, sports equipment, structures are mounted only on concrete walls. They are highly reliable. The disadvantages of such models include the inability to change their location, their manufacture only on order.

By the method of registration of shelves distinguish:

• open models have a back wall, unlike shelving. They allow all objects to be in sight. It will be easier for the baby to find and put in place any thing. The disadvantage of such models is the need to use boxes, boxes for small items that may fall from shelves. In addition, dust will accumulate on shelves and toys, which is difficult to clean;
• open narrow pencil cases with facades from pipes. Such products are suitable for storing soft toys. Structurally, the shelves resemble cages that fix plush animals, but allow you to quickly get a toy;
• closed models have hinged or sliding doors. Their cost is higher than that of open products. However, toys are less dusty behind the doors. In addition to shelves, in such cabinets there are drawers.

At the installation site, the models are divided:

• freestanding products that are placed in any part of the room;
• corner, which are designed to store things in the unoccupied corners of the room;
• cabinets for toys, which are part of the attic bed;
• embedded products.

A separate category can be distinguished modular systems, which include both freestanding and corner models of cabinets, with closed and open sections. Modules can be combined, rearranged, added if necessary. The presence of a large selection of cabinets allows you to choose the best option for a particular room.

The form

The shape and size of all pieces of furniture should be chosen based on the dimensions of the room, the amount of free space. If the children's room is spacious, then you can install several toy storage systems or choose the modular option. In small rooms, you should limit yourself to small built-in, corner models. If the child allows growth, then narrow tall models are chosen. For children, low wide lockers are preferred.

Traditionally, cabinets have the shape of a rectangle, square. But children's lockers for storing toys come in fancy shapes. Boys are offered models that simulate the body of a car, ships or chests. Models for girls are made in the form of houses, castles with open shelves. Examples of unusual products can be seen in the photo.

For safe use, stable products with rounded corners and a minimum number of protruding parts should be preferred.

The color palette of children's furniture consists of light shades of wood in combination with pink, light green, blue, yellow. The choice of colors should be done by the child on his own.

Materials of manufacture

So that the piece of furniture does not harm the health of the baby, it must be made of safe materials. For the manufacture of a children's locker can be used:

• chipboards - models are notable for their low price and useful life, and are lightweight. Formaldehyde resins are used for gluing shavings, so you need to purchase products only from reliable manufacturers that control the level of harmful substances;
• MDF boards are durable, long service life. MDF is easily amenable to any processing, therefore it is used for the manufacture of original models;
• natural wood has the best environmental characteristics at a high price. Products are painted or varnished. In such a cabinet, the optimal microclimate;
• plastic is lightweight, unstable. Such models are suitable for storing light rubber, plastic toys, goods for creativity. Drawers and shelves are easy to clean;
• vine, bamboo, rattan are used for decorating, making wicker inserts, boxes, fixed to the cabinet frame. On wicker shelves there will be easy access to toys.

To purchase a quality and safe product before buying, you need to study the quality certificates for the goods.

Internal filling

In products for boys and girls, the internal structure of the cabinet may vary:

• the boys have a large number of different gaming equipment, tools, designers. Items have large dimensions, weight. Therefore, a children's wardrobe can be with one large drawer for small items and several shelves for boxes;
• girls play with dolls, plush animals, plastic dishes and toy household items. The storage system should have open shelves and many drawers with dividers for small items.

Well, if the inner drawers and shelves are in front of the child, then he will not have to use a chair or ladder to find the right thing. Part of the drawers must be made of plastic or other washable material. Some toys and products for creativity can stain the surface of the box, sand and chalk crumble from packs.

For children who love to read, choose models with bookshelves at the top of the product. If the apartment has a room that is used as a library, then the child can store his books there.

Finishing options for external facades

In color models of cabinets, laminated particleboard, MDF, plastic facades are used. They are easy to clean, scratch resistant, available in almost any shade. Creative children will be pleased with the new technology of using black magnetic film in the design of facades. On their surface he will be able to draw, fix magnets his drawings, murals and other pictures. Such a piece of furniture will replace a drawing board and prevent painting on walls and floors.

In stylized rooms, you can use models with facades decorated with photo printing, stickers, stickers, laser engraving. Favorite characters depicted on the lockers will enhance the mood of the baby, make cleaning a fun experience. The advantage of stickers is the ability to change them at the request of the child.

In the teenager’s room it is possible to use mirror facades, glass inserts. Girls like to look at themselves in the mirror, but such furniture is unsafe. In the production of children's lockers, a minimum of accessories on the facades is used. Handles and hooks are replaced with curly slots. When choosing accessories, give preference to rounded objects.

How to combine with the interior

For the interior design of the children's room, light shades are chosen. Furniture should be combined with the color of the walls and flooring:

• when choosing a monodesign, the color of the furniture should be in the same scale with the walls and floor. You can use lighter or darker shades. Color accents are added by drawings or stickers on the facades of the toy cabinet. Such a product is optimal for small rooms where the effect of large space is achieved due to monochrome. Monochrome rooms are suitable for calm children;
• furniture can be made in contrasting bright colors. In this case, it will be an accent of the nursery interior. Bright pieces of furniture will appeal to energetic and active kids. The whole room, as a rule, is not decorated brightly so as not to overload the psyche of the child, but they use colored furniture.

You can install large storage systems in the teenager’s room; he has already accumulated a lot of things. To furniture did not look massive, choose light shades.

In the nursery for the girl should be a gentle and airy atmosphere. The decor uses floral, original elements, furniture with decorative handles, carved doors is preferred. Examples can be seen in the photo.

Where to place

When choosing a place where the storage system for children's toys will be installed, you need to consider the parameters of the room. In long and narrow rooms it is convenient to use corner models. Such lockers can take up free space in the corners. The most suitable size option can be made to order.

Separate models are placed near the table, so the working area can be separated from the bedroom. An interesting solution would be the installation of modular systems around the doorway, window or crib of the baby. If the model has a mirror facade, then when placed on the sunny side, you can add light to the room.

If preference is given to built-in models, then they can be mounted along the narrow wall of the room or in niches. When an attic bed or a furniture block with a bed and a table is selected for the nursery, the toy storage is located in its lower part.

The toy storage system must be in the nursery, otherwise the toys will create a mess. The most important criterion for choosing a model is safety of use. The piece of furniture should harmoniously fit into the interior of the room and please the baby.
