I need ideas for playroom decoration

3 years ago

We have recently moved house and the playroom hasnt been a priority for decor. But im getting tired of all the mismatched items in here. Changing the curtains or furniture isnt an option at the moment. But how can i make this room more attractive. I dont want it too childish but maybe a little bit fun. Ideas pls. The walls are all painted white. And i do have new ikea boxes in the storage thing behind the sofa in grey beige.

Hi. Mountains painted on walls look good for a play room and quite easy to do. I would also add a teepee as they look cute in kids rooms! I'm not sure what your budget is but I might also consider a small table and chairs for crafts etc. I would also add a larger rug, perhaps in a star pattern, and a small sheepskin for the teepee. I'm not sure if you're wanting to add colour or not so I've found a neutral and a colour version. If you do add colour some green would work with the terracotta.

Hi Emma, On first sight the kitchen seems to be dark and in need for more storage. Depending on what budget you have put aside for the makeover there are different things you can do. Of course, it all depends on your current ideas and the propriety itself and how old is the kitchen. If it is a temporary solution until you do the whole kitchen. The top priority is increasing light and storage would help with the final look and functionality. Changing the splash back and the door colour will help deal with light and how the kitchen looks like. But if you have defined a budget that can go beyond the paint and tiles than there are options like an integrated extractor that would give a bit more storage, as well as wall units up to the wall. Obviously, just the built in extractor unit would be more economical than changing all wall units. In terms of ideas for the paint, the dark grey with the dark worktop will make the kitchen dark, a good option is to use both colours, the light colour on the wall units and the dark colour on the base units. This will draw your eyes to the wall units and makes the kitchen look brighter. To be honest the white metro tiles won't go very well with the worktop. The worktop will look off balanced. White for the walls is definitely good idea since it'll bring more light to the kitchen. But Schmidt laminate worktops are very accessible and there are a wide range of finishes. And since your worktop is already very busy itself, it is worth going for a simple splashback. Painting the walls and the ceiling with a light colour will make the kitchen brighter and look bigger. You can also opt to pain the splashback with kitchen pain, it can be cleaned very easily and you cut on the cost of tiling, and some people paint tiles as well. This would allow you to cut costs on the splashback and invest on a laminate worktop for example. Another thing, is that changing the handles will give the kitchen a final touch, as well as new and modern ceiling light as spotlights. See some pictures below for ideas:

Decor ideas for conservatory
Q

I would look into the option to open the conservatory into the kitchen and create a Mediterranean sun room. In that case I’d go for softer sage and olive green greys. Add few potted trees like olive, bay, orange/ lemon tree and some ferns etc. Add some shelves for books and some garden ornaments. Create indoor outdoor room that you can enjoy all year. The room as it is a bit a tunnel like with the light pouring down from the ceilings. There isn’t really a view from the room all focus is centred into the garden door and accentuating the narrowness of the space. I’d advice to create a drama and add large pattern wallpaper with leaves and flowers. It will distract the eye from the shape of the room and will create an intricate illustration of space.

Hi Jen, This is right up my alley!! I love solving multi purpose family problems. Do you need to have the room be a play room, chill out room and dinning room with the storage to accommodate toys and chill out items as well as dinning room items?

I need help I have a small garden with a piece of fake grass in the mI

Very tidy garden, but it just needs that “something” doesn’t it? How about creating an Islamic style garden? All about water and tranquility with lots of straight lines. You could add a bowl shaped water feature or a fountain in the middle, with a path leading up to the fountain, and then leading to the borders behind it. Water fountains are very popular now and they usually come complete with a fountain and a long lead, usually 32 feet, with a plug at the end. I have an urn shaped one and it was so easy to set up. I would also add more shrubs and flowers in the borders, although I realise not everything is out yet. You can use the same paving you already have or go the full Monty with colourful tiling. The last picture is my water feature urn which is actually resin not stone. This is the sort of thing I mean:

i like the rugs...and the floating shelf. i have a few in the loft left from my last house...that will make good use of them! Do you know if you can get machine washable rugs for the floor? I find the rugs get so mucky with the kids!! Probably just wishful thinking....but the rugs in the pic look quite thin?

I believe Ikea do great rugs that are machine washable. You could also get a few colourful beanbags and floor cushions. Wall stickers are perfect for playrooms and allow you to create fun murals for very little cost and without damaging the walls. They just peel off so you can change them whenever you want. You can also get chalkboard wall stickers but you may not want to encourage drawing on the walls!

Could you move the chair and side table into a different room? I'd have a full size table in there instead with colourful chairs, perfect for crafts and making dens under! I'd then a big pile of cushions for reading (or jumping) on. I'd either have wall stickers or chalkboard paint on the wardrobe doors as there doesn't seem to be much free wall space. I think bold bright colours go more with the curtains and ikea boxes though, so I'd move away from paastels. Whatever you do it's a beautiful room with an amazing view :)

thanks for all the ideas. I love the mountain idea....what colours would u use? I had also thought of a fun map mural....something semi educational for the the kids. But the wall is 5.5 metres long....would it work for a pre printed mural? Also the wall has a large radiator on it....would this also spoil any wall art i may do?
