“To begin to understand the principles of designing beautiful classroom spaces, you must learn to search for what inspires and excites you,” write Jessica Deviney, Sandra Duncan, Sara Harris, Mary Ann Rody and Lois Rosenberry in their book, Inspiring Spaces for Young Children.
“Looking at paint chips and browsing the brochures that show how colors work together might spark an idea for a new look for your classroom... Try looking beyond the early childhood catalog and flip through some home decorating catalogs. Consider thinking outside the primary color box. Visit a home store or go to an art gallery. Spend a sunny day at the local nursery or lumberyard. Walk through a resale shop. Borrow your inspiration from anywhere... a fabric remnant, framed children’s or commercial art, an authentic piece of furniture, or the beautiful textures and colors of the natural world.”
The classroom environment is an essential component for maximizing learning experiences for young children. Inspiring Spaces for Young Children invites teachers to enhance children’s educational environments in a beautiful way by emphasizing aesthetic environmental qualities that are often overlooked in early childhood classrooms, such as nature, color, furnishings, textures, displays, lighting, and focal points.
