The floor must be comfortable for crawling, and later for sitting and playing for long stretches. Carpets are not practical because, although they are very attractive, they get dirty very quickly. The walls can be either papered or painted, but in either case they must be easy to wash. We have to bear in mind that children are constantly scrapping their toys against the walls or scribbling on them. Ideally, we should be prepared to apply a new coat of paint from time to time, and if we prefer wallpaper we must make sure it is washable.
Lights are important Good lighting is also crucial.
Our lighting requirements will inevitably change as the child grows up. Environmental lighting, whether from a central light or wall lamps, is indispensable. A desk lamp is also necessary, especially if the child has a work table, and another light should be placed on the bedside table so that he or she can read in bed. If the room has the benefit of natural lighting, that is perfect as children will appreciate the cheerfulness afforded by sunlight, just as they will be grateful if they are not allocated the smallest room in the home.
