But what exactly does a Montessori Bedroom? The name derives from Maria Montessori, famous educator, pedagogue, scientist and researcher born in Chiaravalle in 1870. Montessori spent a large part of her life devoting herself to children and their education, creating what many recognise as a true Method whose pillars are founded on freedom of movement and independence.

According to the famous educator, in fact, the children must be able to live in an environment where they can move freely and independentlya tailor-made environment in which they can grow up more autonomous and responsible.

How can this be translated into practice? And how should the perfect Montessori nursery be furnished? Let's see it together.

Montessori bedroom: the basic elements

In a bedroom furnished according to the Montessori method, the different furniture elements must respect the child's proportions in a way that promotes independence and safety during activities. Therefore, the furniture should not be too high, so that the child can open it independently or pick up things placed on it without parental help.

Le furniture lines should be simple and the materials used as natural as possible: Green light, therefore, to wooden furniture that is easy to clean and keep tidy. The key concept behind the Montessori Nursery is that the child must be able to keep everything organised and tidy independently.

To make furniture easier to open, but also safer - avoiding handles or knobs that are dangerous for the child's safety - it is a good idea to opt for safe, rounded handles and knobs, perhaps as cheerful and colourful as the new knobs by Polideas.

Butterflies, little elephants, cute smiles, round and safe shapes that make furniture immediately more beautiful to look at and also safer.

The nursery environment must therefore be designed to encourage children to keep it clean and well organised and for this a great help can come from the shelves.

Putting beautiful shelves at child height can help them to keep their things in order, perhaps their books or notebooks in a completely autonomous way, thus learning from an early age to take care of their environment. Furthermore, by having everything in sight, children will also learn to recognise books by their covers in case they are still small and not yet able to read.

Perfect in this case is the Polideas shelf, ideal for any room, but especially for a Montessori Children's Room.

Also with a view to keeping everything in place and in order by oneself, it is a good idea to equip the bedroom furnished according to the Montessori Method with hangers on which children can easily hang their jackets, backpacks or many other small things that might otherwise be scattered around the room.
