An art easel to promote a love of art or a reading corner to create the habit and love of reading. In truth, anything will make the playroom special for your children.
Room space
As we already mentioned, there is no need for you to have a house with many rooms or large spaces. If you don’t have enough space, you can simply create a playroom for your little ones in the children’s room. In this case, you could choose a bed with a theme, that is, a child’s bed that looks like a fort, a castle, a house, a car, among others. The design of the children’s bed could help you to continue with the decoration of the rest of the room.
It can inspire you in the color, the theme and even the type of storage. That with the latter you can also play, since it could be a storage that goes from the floor to the ceiling. It could also be large or small cabinets. Or in the same way you could have extra storage under the beds of the little ones. Starting from this, the rest of the decorative items will be much easier.
Choose a storage system
A playroom, like any child’s bedroom, benefits greatly from large storage, whenever possible. Of course, this is not something that should be mandatory but it is recommended as far as the budget allows.
Shelves and even cabinets stuck to the wall, perhaps the entire wall, will take up much less space on the floor. You can combine open and closed shelves. With this you can take advantage of and display the toys or books as part of the decoration and at the same time you can save the things that do not seem so beautiful. You could even think of small desks where you can store their crafts or homework.
Safety and functionality
You should always keep in mind that the playroom, like the children’s rooms, must be safe for them. A game room, like the children’s bedroom, must be safe, comfortable, functional and with easy access for the little ones in the house.
It is recommended that you put a drawer or a set of baskets that can contain all the toys and other accessories that your little ones use more and that they can take them without help. You could provide them with a small seat or cushions so they can also sit not just on the floor.
If you can and want, you can also create a custom wall mural, perhaps with cartoons or characters that you like. There are game room decorations where they paint a wall with chalkboard paint. With this they could have more fun and will further develop their creativity and dexterity. In truth, with a playroom for your little ones there are endless ideas and possibilities to create them.
Think of furniture for your little ones
Playing on the floor all the time, it may get them a bit annoying and they won’t have fun all the time. For this reason, we recommend that, if possible, include small furniture. Custom furniture for your little ones not only allows them to rest a bit from the floor.
But it also gives them the feeling of belonging to that space and having more freedom. So a small table and chairs are perfect for puzzles, painting and drawing. Choosing furniture in white will give you the opportunity to play with any color scheme or theme of the room.
Combine color and ease
It is important that you remember that whatever color you have chosen to paint the playroom, it should definitely be washable. Low gloss paints are much more durable than matte emulsions. And it can be cleaned without damaging the paint.
If you choose a paint with a matte finish, use a test pot first. With this you will verify if the finish is chalky. If so, it will not be cleaned well and it will be much more expensive in the end. Since you will have to be aware of touching up dirty walls.
Choose a bed that stimulates your game
We already mentioned this to you. If you don’t have space for a separate game room. The best way to create one is in your little one’s room. In the market you have a lot to choose from according to the tastes of your children. It could be a raised bed, giving him space under the bed for him to play by creating a den.
Or you can also choose beds with maritime motifs or race cars, among many other models. If it’s a room shared between siblings, you might consider bunk beds. And thus save much more space in the room to create your game room.
Choose more practical floors
You have different options to choose floors and that stimulate the games of your little ones. You could add a gaming floor just by laying down a rug. A hopscotch rug is an excellent and original idea for a game room.
It is really fun and children can be distracted while playing in it. With such a mat you could play with them as you teach them the numbers. Play, fun and learning all in one. There are also rugs with race tracks and much more.
Decorate with bold colors
In a playroom, you can really enjoy your love of color or that of your children. Here you can choose and combine color palettes as you like. The color can be added through the walls, the furniture, the bedding.
Also with the toys and even with the curtains in the room. Depending on the tastes of the little ones, they may love bold colors or pastel tones. You could also opt for a children’s wallpaper. To thus give some scheme to the decoration of the game room.
Paint a mural
You could create a playroom for your little ones without having to adopt any themes. Although if you prefer, and to please your children you can choose to make a mural on the wall with an aquarium, safari or mountains theme. The latter is really very easy to do and you don’t have to possess artistic skills in drawing and painting.
Draw and paint some straight mountains with colors that stand out and are part of the decoration. It will give a delicate and fun touch to the game room. The idea of placing the teepee, cushions and rugs on the floor. Adding the wall mural with mountains, it would undoubtedly be an excellent theme for that special space for your children.
Create a Drawing Wall
We all know that young children love to doodle. The walls are something that attract them a lot and even more so when they are prohibited. But, what better way to give them that wall so that they can develop their creativity than to create a blackboard wall for them.
This is a perfect and even original way for children to personalize their playroom. This chalkboard wall is something you can make yourself too. And it’s a great idea when you have a slightly limited budget.
Encourage Reading
A playroom doesn’t just mean toys. A playroom also gives the little ones a space to relax and even to learn. It is important that from an early age, you encourage and promote the love of reading to your little ones.
Therefore, it is recommended that you provide a storage space for your children’s books in the playroom. Do not take this just for decoration. But also stop sometime during the day, you sit with them and do fun readings while they learn.
Think ahead
You should keep in mind that at this moment you are trying to create a playroom for your little ones. But it won’t be long before they grow up and you will have other needs. You could in the same way, create a game room a little simpler and less colorful. So when the time comes to change, don’t be so complicated. Don’t worry, you can still create a fun playroom for your children with slightly more neutral colors and not with primary colors.
