Playroom Decorating Ideas

As children’s toys are brightly coloured, consider painting the playroom walls in warm neutral colours which will act as a great backdrop.

Children naturally spend much of their time playing on the floor. For this reason the floor becomes a big focus in the playroom. Colourful interactive rugs with race tracks or games such as hopscotch are great fun for kids. Aim to keep the floorplan quite simple. Consider using furniture which is multi – functional such as a daybed, which can be converted from seating to a bed for sleepovers.

As children love to be creative, they need an appropriate size table and chairs where they can build, draw and paint. A couch, beanbags and floor cushions will be needed in a playroom to provide comfort and add options for reading books, using ipads and watching television.​

Removable wallpaper stickers are creative and a fun addition to playroom walls. Encourage drawing and create a blackboard by painting a section of wall with chalkboard paint.

Stimulate imagination by providing a dress-up box, cubby house or tepee for kids to create and develop their own adventures.

A variety of storage solutions should be considered in a playroom such as open-shelving, mobile toy boxes and wall hooks. Storage solutions help to make it easy for children to collect and put away toys by themselves.
