Keeping kids entertained at home can be challenging. The solution? Create a dedicated area for play where they’re free to let their imaginations soar. Here are some ideas for transforming an ordinary space into an epic playroom.
Get physical
Who says kids can’t burn off energy indoors? Encourage indoor activity with playground-inspired equipment that doesn’t take up too much room, like a rope swing, rock climbing wall, hopscotch mat, or monkey bars. Add foam mats or a ball pit for soft landings.
Crafty corners
Inspire art projects with easy access to supplies. Set up easels, hang a roll of drawing paper, or paint a wall with chalkboard paint for free-flowing creativity.
Loungin’ around
Incorporate spots for relaxing and hanging out with friends. Multipurpose furniture like foldout kids’ couches, soft ottomans, and pint-sized tables and chairs create cool seating areas while tents or canopies make for secret alcoves for imaginative play.
Colour galore
To create a stimulating space, add plenty of colour and patterns with bright murals, wall decals, or bold-coloured accent walls. A theme, like a circus-inspired or an underwater seascape, can help add cohesion. Looking for one-of-a-kind artwork? Create an ever-evolving gallery wall with the kids’ drawings.
Book nook
Spark a love of reading with an awesome library. Choose a variety of books that are at eye-level for kids, and add a cozy rug and comfy reading chair for curling up.
Smart storage
Toys are hard to wrangle, so make storage simple in a playroom. Soft baskets and bins on the floor make cleanup easy at the end of the day, while open shelving keeps toys top-of-mind and accessible for kids.
