    Montessori method in children's rooms: All the clues

    Listen to this story

    Simplicity, beauty and order. The pedagogue María Montessori gave a new significance to educational parameters to turn children into protagonists. Her discoveries today have more meaning than ever: we need to know the abilities and concerns of the little ones to create an environment prepared for them.

    Decorating children's rooms following her method —the Montessori method— means creating a space that encourages children to continue playing, discovering and learning without limits. In this space, each element and piece of furniture has a reason for being. We tell you all the clues to achieve it!

    FURNITURE THAT INVITES TO PLAY

    Is it a bed or a shelter? Perhaps a perfect place to hide? Or… a pirate boat? Everything is possible in children's imagination and furniture should reflect this reality. To do otherwise would be to limit the natural imaginative capacity of children, preventing the exploration of their own personality.

    Furniture that invites you to play and that, in addition, has a minimalist design, is perfect for applying the Montessori method in children's rooms. Whether for dreaming, reading or sharing moments of unlimited imagination, they will become the perfect allies for the development of their abilities.

    WITHIN THEIR REACH: TAILOR-MADE

    In order for children to develop their autonomy, independence and willingness, it is necessary to create a prepared environment that facilitates this. Children must discover their own abilities by interacting with the environment, materials and furniture, but conventional elements are not within their reach.

    How can we ensure that furniture facilitates their development? By designing furniture to suit them, with suitable dimensions, that respond to their interests, rhythms and needs. Furniture that creates a space of its own so that the little ones feel that they can inhabit it, without feeling out of place.

    CUSTOMISABLE ELEMENTS

    Applying the Montessori method in children's rooms also means offering the possibility of creating a personalised space. There is nothing better to stimulate creativity! Furniture made from natural materials, in neutral colours, is the best option for children to give free rein to their inner artist.

    Chalk paints or water-based varnishes with EN71 certification - which guarantees their safe use on children's products - are the best choice in this case. As well as adding a personal touch of colour to the children's room, they will also provide a chance for the whole family to enjoy a creative activity.

    WHEN ORDER IS ESSENTIAL

    To create a space in which movement is freer, order becomes an indispensable factor. In order to arrange the space we also have to take into account the sensitive period of the order in which the child is: in each period the child may show a special interest in learning certain areas.

    A safe, orderly and structured place is one of the main bases for applying the Montessori Method in children's rooms: each material should have an assigned place and then be put back in its place. In this way, children internalise a sense of order in their lives.

    INSPIRATION IN THE NATURAL

    We know that sustainable and natural materials are better for people and the planet. In the case of the children's room, this is an essential factor in decorating it. The quality of the materials is very important when we talk about applying the Montessori method in children's rooms, as it has a positive impact on the perception of the space.

    Materials such as sustainable wood, wicker, or textiles made from cotton provide a simple yet pleasing aesthetic. They are not brightly coloured - an important factor - and show children the importance of taking care of the material.

    CREATIVITY, BY PURPOSE

    A corner in which to explore creativity: purposely created to do so. The endless possibilities that furniture can bring to the youngest children is surely the most important basis of Montessori pedagogy: free education so that children know how to transform reality from within.

    Through painting, writing, crafts or any other artistic expression, children develop their way of life: from their personality to their vision of the world. Creating a space in the children's room to encourage creativity, with furniture designed to suit them, is a good way to correctly apply the Montessori method in children's rooms.
