Children’s Day 1.
Very girly rooms for the International Children’s Day
Blinds
It might happen during furnishing a room that there is no space for big, hanging curtains with rods. Frequently it is not practical to use a large amount of fabrics to cover the windows because of the type of the room (e.g. kitchen, bathroom). In this case, let’s choose some kind of blinds. These are easy to handle, need less space and can be made of any kind of curtain fabrics.
Roman blind: The fabric tenses at the front of the window when it is lowered. While pulling up, the fabric stratifies horizontally by layers. It requires special mechanism. The struts are sewn in the fabric. It can be fixed both on the window frame and the side wall.
Austrian blind: This type needs much more fabrics than the others. The ruffle at the bottom remains even when it is lowered. It can be pulled up by the sewn cords and the fabric gathers in waves at the holding rod.
London blind: It is similar to Austrian blind but in this case there are only two pull-up cords in the fabric. When pulled up, the fabric swells between the two cords and slightly swags at its ends. Its appearance is more playful and less formal.
Roll-up blind: It can be sprung, bead chain and electric as to its moving. The fabric laps to the holding device when it is rolled up. It can be made of any fabric from voile to black-out. The fabric is completely plain when lowered, so it gives clear-out contour to the window.
Zebra blind: Its gist is the alternation of voile and darkening parts which results a striped effect. The amount of the incoming light can be controlled by the setting of the covering. Although, it is a quite modern solution, this type can be utilized in a classic interior also.

Toy storage
Toys of children can overrun the whole house if we don’t care. A separate playroom is available only in a few homes and sometimes there is not enough space in the kids’ room also for storages. The play-area is created frequently in the living room’s corner. This is why creative storage solutions are important and after playing the living space could be ordered and neat again.
Maybe the simplest solution is that kind of shelved cabinet where baskets can be put in also. This way it reabsorbs all the little things, but decorative or frequently used toys are on hands too. Similar cabinets could be made by measure also, which has parts with doors, open shelves and parts with basket also, for the bigger toys (e.g. board games). Doors can be painted with blackboard paint or cork can be fixed on it, this way the cabinet will have more functions.
Let’s make a „hammock” from fabric fitting for the children’s room. Saw ropes to both ends of it and it can be rolled-up by fixing it to the ceiling with two screws, just like a retractable clothes dryer. Fill it with plush animals and after use just lift it up. Harder objects shouldn’t be put in it because of falling hazard.
If a cabinet can’t be fit in, bigger wall jardinières shall be bought (it can be metal or wicker also). It will be a perfect storage space for doodads, fixed to the wall or the inner part of the cabinet door. Buckets and baskets with handles are suitable for this too, they just won’t slick to the wall. A wooden box sawn in two, painted and fixed to the wall is a perfect solution also.
If the kid’s bed has no bedding holder, the space under it can be used. We gain easily movable storage spaces by simple crates with wheels. Decorate it by taste, even with names in the case of more children.
Custom-made shelves can be made for bigger collections (matchboxes, Lego, Barbie dolls etc.), where the child can make a mini exhibition also. This way they can be seen out of playtime but they don’t get in the way. The similarity to exhibition can be enhanced by using spot lighting.
