No matter what size your house is, you can create a fun and exciting playroom for your kids. This will become an excellent place where they can be creative, play with each other and unleash their imagination. It will also be a place they can call their own and be responsible for. But creating a playroom is unlike any other room in your house. It’s a room where you can go over the top and be a bit silly making it a highly enjoyable room to decorate and furnish. To help get you started, read the suggestion in this guide and get inspired.
Choose a versatile theme
Selecting a theme for your kids playroom might sound like fun, but it can actually be quite difficult. You don’t want to pick something that your kids are going to get bored of in a few months. If you have both boys and girls this can also make things more challenging. Think of a theme that is quite broad while also being neutral. An adventure or circus theme are fantastic for playrooms and can be enjoyed by both boys and girls. This theme can then influence the colour of your room, the accessories and the furniture you use. Often some of the best playrooms are the most simple. So if you don’t want a strong theme to be present, consider simple wall decals or base your theme on a color instead.
Use kid-sized furniture
There is little point providing furniture in your children’s new playroom if it is not suitable for them to use. When choosing furniture, always consider items that can be easily used by your kids. Otherwise, they won’t get used and will be a waste of money. Look for child-sized chairs and tables and cabinets with easy to pull doors and drawers. Also, position shelves lower down so they can reach their books and toys without help. This will make the space much more fit for purpose as well as encourage your kids to be more independent.
Include a quiet zone
While your playroom will most likely be used for hours of play, it’s also important that you include a quiet zone too. Your children can get quickly worn out after a long day or too much physical exercise from their games. So having this zone available will help them unwind and relax. It could be a corner in the playroom where they can read a book or draw a picture. You could create a teepee or fort that is decorated with rope lights and oversized pillows to create a calm and soothing atmosphere. This can be a place where you can read them a story which will calm them down before bedtime.
Your children will have hours of fun playing in their amazing new playroom and you’ll have just as much fun creating it. This is the perfect opportunity for you to let your own imagination run wild with themes, colours and furniture. So take what you have learnt and start creating the playroom of your kids dreams.
