A playroom is super important for any child’s development. It’s where the kids let their creativity flow, the imagination run wild, and where they are encouraged to learn and play. The environment needs to be fun and reflect the family’s spirit, so a good decoration scheme is crucial to design the perfect playroom. Check out some simple ways to design and decorate the perfect playroom!
The easiest way to start designing a playroom is by picking a theme. You can go for nature, animals, nautical (like in the picture above), something from a cartoon, or really any other theme that you like. That way, it’s easy to decorate: you can just stick to the color palette and add elements that fit the style.
Go for Neutral
Choosing a neutral color palette is the best way to decorate a playroom when the house has more than one kid, especially if they’re different ages and genders. You can go for natural wooden furniture as well as pops of bright or pastel colors, focusing mostly on white and beige. Play with textures and patterns to make the room more interesting.
Let the Kids Participate
If your child is a little older, you should let him or her participate in the room design. From choosing the colors to the furniture position, the kids can actually be a great help to decide how to decorate the room and personalize it, guaranteeing the room will be their favorite place in the house.
Easy Organization
Of course a playroom will always be a little messy, but that doesn’t mean you have to avoid stepping on a minefield of toys every time you enter the room. Add shelves, baskets and colorful storage bins and teach the children to put the toys back to their place when they’re done playing. The same goes for books and craft supplies: each object should go back to its place in the end of the day.
Guaranteed Fun
A playroom should be a place where the child can have fun and where he or she will want to spend free time, so think outside the box to provide the best space possible, besides books and toys, consider adding other elements such as a slip and slide, a rock climbing wall, a tent, a trapeze, etc. Create a room that your kids will be proud to call their playroom.
