I need ideas for playroom decoration

2 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.

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?

Just wanted to show you these storage cubes they are amazing storage and really help me keep all those little pieces together also it makes it so much easier to keep the room tidy. They are from ikea and are really inexpensive but if your having a play room you defiantly need these. Also I tried to find a pic with a bright rug in I think if you get a big rug some storage and a window dressing you are pretty much done. As for art work I watched a video on YouTube that I thought you might like it was children's drawings framed and another which had a long piece of string with clothes pegs on that you added children's drawings too I thought it was a really personal touch and let's be honest cheaper than any art work your going to buy

Have a think about what the children like doing - you'll know what equipment you need to accommodate (a crafts table, a stage, perhaps a climbing wall?). Children can be very creative - have a little brainstorming session. I'd also include a lot a accessible storage. The ceiling height is fantastic so you could accommodate some sort of a structure with a ladder. Here's an example of a structure and storage.

I love those baskets Jen - where are they from please? Re the sun tunnels - it is something I looked into but the problem is the garage is integral so there's a bedroom above and it's a semi detached house so garage is enclosed other side too so literally no where for a sun tunnel to go unfortunately. Would you change to spotlights rather than a pendant - we are having some bother moving the lighting electrics so I initially wanted them but am now wondering if it is worth it... The LED panel is def something I could look into - do you have any pics of that sort of thing - typed it into google but did not seem to get that many hits - wondering if I searched wrong thing! I love those ceilings - they look fab - I worried anything like that might make the space feel even more closed in but do you think that won't be the case?

What age are they? If they are not old enough to read to themselves but you want books in there you may want an armchair for you to sit on and a couple of cream furry beanbags for them. I have had one of those indoor teepees and although they look nice they take up a huge amount of space, although some kids may like them. I would suggest a huge amount of storage as they have so much stuff at that age. Are they into lego? Mine still play with it every day and it absorbs them. We have a ton of those clip lid boxes (available from Rymans) and it's sorted into those. Also, I have never ever met a child who doesn't like art. A space to at least draw (if not paint) is really absorbing for children, and a display wall is a good idea. They also love fairy lights so that may entice them to use the space on an evening. Put in soft flooring, no one want to kneel on a wooden floor. Narrow shelves to display books are a fabulous way of introducing colour and good design. These put up against a deep toned wall would give good visual interest.

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 :)

Wow! what a view. With this in mind I think Minnies suggestion of mountain would be perfect! add splashes of colour with animals? oh and the lights!

A ready made splash:

or I love these ones that they can colour in and have fun with themselves!

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?
