The children's online studio “BukaBoka” appeared in the spring of 2015 and has already caught the fancy of mothers from different parts of Russia. Among the customers are parents from Adygea, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kaliningrad and Baltiysk, for whom not only the quality, but also the design of bedding for a crib is important. We asked its founder Ekaterina Morozova to tell us more about the idea of a children's decor studio.
- Ekaterina, how did you come to create a children's atelier?
A year and a half ago, I became the mother of a wonderful boy and began to pay attention to children's things. I always wanted something special for my child, and my mother and I sewed his first bedding together - she is a professional tailor, and I started sewing myself as a child. Later, I thought: why not offer other mothers the opportunity to create individual bedding sets and other accessories for the children's room? This is how the children's decor studio “BukaBoka” was born, where I help parents realize their dreams. Moreover, the name of the atelier again owes to my son: at that time he often muttered many combinations in his childish language, and I realized that this was not without reason.
Currently, “BukaBoka” exists in the format of an online studio, I accept orders on Instagram and Vkontakte, as well as via WhatsApp and Viber. Products can be delivered anywhere in the world.
- How does your textile differ from what is sold in children's stores?
Textiles from the children's decor studio "BukaBoka" are original appearance, and this is not surprising, because all products are made from fabrics with interesting colors that you cannot buy in ordinary children's stores. When making orders Special attention paid to the cut and neatness of the seams. All products can be washed in washing machine, so leaving will not be difficult. Before offering a new product to customers, I personally carry out a “crash test” - I wash, steam and make sure that the product does not fade or lose its shape, so that the fabric remains as bright. We develop for each customer individual design project crib sets and accessories, taking into account sizes, desired colors or combinations, as well as personal wishes.
- What products do you offer to your clients?
In my decor studio you can sew absolutely any sets for children’s rooms and newborn cribs, including the popular round transforming cribs “Stokke” and “ComfortBaby”. My customers choose both single products and large sets so that all children's textiles are in the same color scheme, which in the end looks just great. I accept orders for crib bumpers in the form of pillows and houses, which, by the way, can be used to decorate the nursery in the future, fitted sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, patchwork quilts different sizes, bags for diapers, toys and pajamas for babies. Garlands in the form of flags, hearts, teddy bears and letters, which make up the baby’s name and are hung on the crib, are very popular now. In development are models of sleeping bags for babies, folders for a baby’s first documents, and a line of cotton dresses and sundresses for the youngest girls.
- What do you use to make items for the children’s room?
Of course, this is one of the most important questions that I get asked first. But there are no secrets: I order fabrics from Russian, American and European online stores, these are trusted suppliers who offer materials of decent quality. Regarding the filler soft letters, blankets and bumpers, then this is holofiber or padding polyester.
- Ekaterina, how do you manage to combine motherhood and business?
Self-realization has always been important to me. I have been working in the hi-tech field for many years and have reached certain heights, which is good news, and with the birth of my son, I discovered new talents in myself. My family inspires me a lot. I take my husband as an example - he is very hardworking and conscientious about his work. I am also motivated to develop my business by the feedback from my customers, both large and small.
- What are your plans for the near future?
In the future, I would like to open an atelier store where you could immediately buy the textiles you like or place an order for individual products.
- Good luck and prosperity to your business and thanks for the conversation!
Presence of a child own room- undoubtedly a reason for his joy. But if the area is small, then the baby will face certain inconveniences. But is it really only a large nursery that a child can really like? Of course not. We share the secrets that will make the nursery a real dream room for your baby.

3. Your own mini-kingdom
Is the apartment so small that there is no room for a separate nursery? It's not a problem. Order the production of multifunctional furniture for children. A few square meters can accommodate a bed, table, and storage system. After all, it is so important for a child to feel that he has his own corner in an “adult” space.
4. Surrounded by your favorite things
Workplace for older children, surrounded by a mini-wardrobe – perfect solution for small children's rooms. This trick allows you to fully use the vertical space of one of the walls.
5. Skirting in reverse

And in order for such a finish to become even more functional, attach a wide plinth to its upper part. It will play the role of a shelf where kids can place their favorite toys and other necessary little things.
6. From the hallway to the children's room
Often children do not clean not because they have no desire to do it, but because of the inconvenience or complexity of this process. To reduce the number of scattered clothes in your room, simplify it as much as possible.
storage. For example, place a spacious hanger in the nursery.
7. Personalized room
A decor that will always be relevant in a nursery is the wooden letters that make up the name of its main owner. They can be hung on the wall or mounted on the bed. This simple technique will help the child feel like a full owner of his own personal space.
8. Wall with lots of shelves
You can make rectangular shelves from dense cardboard boxes, for example, shoes. The more similar boxes there are, the better. The child will be able to sort all his favorite toys and little things. This will also allow you to utilize vertical space for storage.
9. Taking care of the finish and not forgetting the child’s wishes
Children tend to steal the walls with posters, photos, pictures... It looks good, but the decoration of the walls suffers from the placement of such decor. Hang several large boards with cork covering, long ropes with clothespins. This way you won’t have to fight with a child who wants to decorate the room to his own taste, as well as maintain the integrity of the walls.
10. Functional sleeping place
The presence of spacious drawers under the child's bed will make it easier for the child to clean his room. In addition, such a storage system is especially relevant in the interior of a small bedroom. After all, most often people forget about the opportunity to rationally use the space under the bed.
11. Sleep in the air
Hanging beds – original solution for the nursery, which has not yet become boring. To make the structure relatively stable, use short, thick ropes.
12. Hide from the whole world
The interior of a small bedroom does not allow for a separate area for complete privacy for the child, for example, installing a toy house or hut. But this is a problem. The child will be able to completely retire behind a canopy or awning fixed above the bed. This solution is suitable not only for girls, but also for boys.
Furniture placed close together will save space.
The usual option for placing furniture for most is the presence of free space between its individual elements. But in the interior of a small bedroom this can be problematic. Place the furniture close together, and then the room will be able to accommodate everything necessary for the child. In order for the interior to look harmonious, we recommend choosing one color for all furniture.
15. Hanging chair - instead of a swing
For some reason, hanging chairs are most often used in the interior of a living room or when arranging a garden, but not in a nursery. Destroy this stereotype, and the child will be crazy about a bold experiment. Hanging chair It will not only save space in a small nursery, but also replace a child’s swing.
Create your own for your child cozy world- the task is not entirely simple. When the baby is still enough little parents trying to fill the children's room with countless toys and bright pictures. They turn the nursery into a fairy tale world. As the child grows up, he already wants to be the designer of his own space. It grows out of fairy tales. Parents should listen to his opinion, since preferences may be fundamentally different. You need to look at the room through the eyes of your child and help with experience and knowledge to recreate the atmosphere in which he will be as comfortable and comfortable as possible. It is necessary to create a place where a growing child will be drawn, where he will feel as in tune with the surrounding reality as possible.
Let's do cozy room together
The main decision on the layout of the play and sleeping area will, of course, fall on the shoulders of the parents. But the selection of design style will have to be coordinated with the little inhabitant. You can offer to view photographs of various designer styles and choose together the direction you like. After this, you can choose stylish furniture and proper lighting. Here parents make decisions about price and quality, and the child makes decisions about shape and color. The future small designer can place appropriate accents and choose textiles for the home; the online store will be the best place to order.
The biggest right little man receives in textile design. There are many more opportunities to change everything over time, so give him the opportunity to show maximum imagination. You can give him the opportunity to look through some online catalog and write a list of all the things he likes. Then think through and discuss the most successful finds together. Here are some main areas to look for:
- Select textile capes and bedspreads;
- Choose curtains that are organic to the interior;
- Allow you to buy inexpensive bed linen and pillows of any color.
All these things will bring much more joy and pride to the child. After all, he can feel quite mature and trustworthy. When planning purchases, you can be amazed at the financial abilities of the little genius. Sometimes children and active Internet users can find and buy a lot of things. They have much more experience in distributing small pocket budgets, and, sometimes, they simply amaze with their knowledge of economic aspects.
Another way joint creativity, creation of small interior details on our own. If your child loves to make things, let him pick something from the section: DIY design. You can make a wonderful lampshade or picture, embroider napkins or make an extraordinary photo frame. In addition to pride, this thing will evoke in the child memories of time spent together with mom and dad.
Don't try to give too much advice. Give little designer maximum amount right Who knows, maybe your child will show talent. Maybe he'll find much more more ideas and ways to implement them. Maybe with the help of a child, you can even save a lot. Our children have unique property: impress parents with your individuality.
Over time, any child will need his own autonomous territory. The ideal option would be to allocate a whole room to the child. A twelve-meter space in this case will be quite enough.
Materials and color solutions for a children's room
Modern industry producing Decoration Materials, provides consumers with a full range of possibilities in terms of interior design. Materials for children's rooms should first of all be as safe as possible. Surface coatings should not contain harmful elements that evaporate and saturate the air in the room with various poisons.
It is best to choose natural materials:
- tree;
- paper;
- natural fabrics.
The color range for children's rooms is not limited. It is worth remembering the combinations of shades. Even black color in combination with softening light shades will not depress the baby, but will add originality to the room.
It is generally accepted that a girl’s room should be replete with shades of pink, while for a boy it would be optimal Blue colour and its shades. At the same time, the imagination of designers sometimes makes us admire the variety of all kinds of color combinations in which children of any gender will be comfortable.
Room small child should be designed in more delicate colors. This promotes peace and quiet for the baby. At the same time, a teenager can afford more bright combinations, suitable for his character.
Furnishing a children's room and ways to save space
Hosts modern apartments often suffer from a lack of free square meters. Usually the child is allocated the smallest room available in the house. 12 sq.m. in conditions modern trends in construction and planning can be considered average area for a children's room.
In any case, you always want your baby to have more space for active games. This is where furniture comes to the rescue, which will save precious meters.
If the room is intended for two children, then a bunk bed will be indispensable. When choosing such a product, you need to make sure of its quality and safety. The reliability of materials and fasteners should come first in the selection process.
The staircase to the second tier should be durable and comfortable. The process of going up and down it should be easy. If the room does not need bunk bed, then the upper part of the structure may be intended for other needs.
Most often, in addition to the bed there are various storage systems. They can look like simple mezzanines or full bookshelf with drawers and lockable shelves.
Special attention is paid to storage systems in the nursery. Children tend to collect various items in his room in large quantities. A countless number of toys, books and various unnecessary, but very interesting rubbish need storage. To do this, designers create compact pieces of furniture with multifunctional niches and cabinets.
The process of choosing and creating a workplace for the child will be important. It should be located close to the light source, be equipped with storage systems and be sized to suit the needs of the small owner of the room.
Light sources in a children's room should be varied: from artificial decorative lighting to a large window through which light will penetrate daylight from the street.
Windows are worth talking about separately. For safety reasons, all windows in the children's room should be equipped with good locks that are child-proof. At the same time, the window should allow regular, high-quality ventilation. In addition, it is worth taking care of the elegant grille, like additional element safety for restless, curious little ones.
Decorating a children's room with accessories
In a children's room, an adult can give free rein to his imagination and decorate it with elements that cannot be used in a pretentious living room or in an elegant office. Bright details with funny scenes look very relevant in the interior of a nursery.
Various pictures and images fairy-tale heroes will enliven the plain walls of the room. It will be useful to select or create some of these pictures with your child and put them in a frame.
For girls, you can design a princess bed with a canopy. The baby will be delighted with the unusual fairy-tale interior. The shades of the material should be delicate colors, and the fabric itself should be transparent and create a mysterious haze around the crib.
Original lamps can also act as decorative items and become the highlight of the interior. Lamps of various shapes and colors will decorate the ceiling and walls. Desk lamp and spotlights can be used to decorate work surfaces and bookshelves.
Some of the lamps look like works of art. There are some things you can make together with your baby. This will distract your child from the computer and TV for a while and keep him busy with useful and interesting activities.
One more important element textiles become decor. All kinds of blankets, capes, decorative pillows will give the room a special coziness. It is important to correctly combine these elements in color and texture.
Blankets and covers for the sofa have not only a decorative, but also a practical function. It is important to save bed sheets from contamination, so having a bright blanket on your baby’s bed is also of great hygienic importance.
Curtains on the windows will add their own charm to the interior. It is not necessary that they exactly match the color of the rest of the interior. Classic white tulle will create a feeling of lightness, airiness and cleanliness in the nursery.
Bright curtains are also welcome. They can become a color accent in the room. Various patterns on the fabric will provide the desired mood. More dense dark curtains will reliably hide the room from prying eyes if necessary.
Flooring for a children's room of 12 sq.m. can be very diverse. The most common way to cover the floors in a nursery is to use carpeting.
At the same time, you can keep the room warm and protect children's feet from hypothermia. The advantages of such a coating also include the variety of shades, patterns and textures that specialized stores supply customers with.
Laminate flooring is good for a child's room. This is a fairly warm floor covering that is particularly practical. In addition, for a nursery, where something constantly falls, spills and stains the floor, such an inexpensive coating will be very useful.
Here I would also like to note the wide range of various shades. Light laminate will visually increase the floor area and make the room brighter. In combination with light walls You can achieve the required illumination even on cloudy days.
Stacked parquet as flooring In a nursery, you can choose only if the child is already old enough to appreciate the beauty of this coating. On the other hand, expensive items in the interior of a nursery will allow the baby to learn to take responsibility for his things.
By following simple rules, you can create an amazing room for your child. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to spend large resources on this. You can only show your imagination and spend a little more time.
If you allow your child to take part in the design of the room and offer his own solutions, then the resulting interior will be valued much more by the child.
