Evaluation of color usage in modular children's room furniture in the last 25 years

It is known that the use of furniture produced in a form and color suitable for the child's development provides positive contributions to the child's fine motor capacity and psychology. The main objective of this study is to analyze the transformations in children’s room furniture design over the past 25 years. It was aimed to reveal the change in the use of color in modular wooden products over years. Data were obtained using literature research, examination of source data and comparative analysis methods. Following literature research and examinations, children's room furniture designs created in the early 2000s, and furniture designs created in 2025 were examined in terms of color use using the comparative analysis method. In total, furniture designs from six companies were evaluated using paired visuals targeting the same age group and functional purpose. It has been determined that more prominent colors such as those used extensively in the children's room furniture designs produced in the early 2000s, and in the following years, neutral colors and soft tones were used extensively in modular furniture designs, with a predominance of white.

Abstract

It is known that the use of furniture produced in a form and color suitable for the child's development provides positive contributions to the child's fine motor capacity and psychology. The main objective of this study is to analyze the transformations in children’s room furniture design over the past 25 years. It was aimed to reveal the change in the use of color in modular wooden products over years. Data were obtained using literature research, examination of source data and comparative analysis methods. Following literature research and examinations, children's room furniture designs created in the early 2000s, and furniture designs created in 2025 were examined in terms of color use using the comparative analysis method. In total, furniture designs from six companies were evaluated using paired visuals targeting the same age group and functional purpose. It has been determined that more prominent colors such as those used extensively in the children's room furniture designs produced in the early 2000s, and in the following years, neutral colors and soft tones were used extensively in modular furniture designs, with a predominance of white.
