01
Measure the flat before the furniture
Panelák load-bearing walls and heritage door swings set hard limits. We record corridor widths, elevator cabins, and sill heights in Vinohrady and Karlín flats before any shopping list is drafted.

02
Separate sleep, play, and study zones
In a twelve-square-metre room these zones share air but need clear edges. Rugs, shelving backs, and lighting circuits mark where rest ends and homework begins without building new walls.

03
Set storage at reachable heights
Drawers a child can open cut morning chaos. Upper shelves hold seasonal clothes and spare bedding; lower runs hold toys and school bags at ages three through ten.

Choose pieces that clear Prague stairs
Many buildings still lack freight lifts. Mattress sizes, wardrobe depths, and cot frames are checked against stair turns on Karlova-style floors and against panelák elevator doors before orders go out.
Why Prague flats need a different children's brief
Ceiling heights swing from low panelák slabs to lofty Vinohrady rooms with original stucco. The same bunk bed that sits well under a three-metre ceiling can crowd a two-and-a-half-metre flat into a tunnel of wood and shadow.
Radiators under windows, chimney breasts, and built-in cupboards from the 1930s all claim floor area. Our drawings start from those fixed objects rather than from catalogue room sets that assume empty rectangles.
Neighbourhoods we work in most often
Vinohrady family flats often keep high windows and deep reveals that reward soft window seats and tall bookcases. Karlín renovations bring cleaner floor plates where play mats and low shelving can sit without fighting ornate mouldings.
Panelák estates across Prague 4, 8, and 10 ask for lighter footprints: fewer freestanding towers, more wall-hung rails, and desks that fold when grandparents visit for the weekend.
What a typical commission covers
Most families ask for one primary children's room plus advice on a shared living corner for toys. We supply measured plans, furniture schedules priced in EUR, and a shopping sequence that matches delivery access to the building.
Optional site visits during assembly catch height mistakes early — a wardrobe door that clips a light switch, or a desk lamp that blinds the bed. Day rates for those visits appear on our pricing page.
Ages and how rooms change
A nursery for a first child needs calm lighting and a changing surface within one step of the cot. By school age the same square metres must hold a desk with daylight and storage that no longer hides every toy from view.
We plan joinery and freestanding pieces so shelves and rails can move down or up as the child grows, instead of replacing the whole room every three years.
Start with the brief checklist above
Print or screenshot the four points and mark which ones already feel settled in your flat. Bring that list to a contact form note or a phone call; it shortens the first visit and keeps the conversation on measurements rather than catalogue browsing.
Studio hours and the Karlova meeting address sit on the contact page. Fees for concept packs and full room plans are listed in EUR on pricing.html.
