I need ideas for playroom decoration
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.

need help to design and decoration in the playing room
Comments (4)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....See MoreWindowless playroom ideas
Comments (13)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?...See Moreany ideas for mezzanine / play room / office space?

Comments (15)Hello, Every room needs a purpose - a function. I would begin by giving it a purpose. An idea of what you want to achieve out of the space. My initial instinct would be to create a relaxing, calm and light office space with lots of storage (this would hold the toys). The alternative is to create a play room.. With the office I would do a more adult, neutral pallet (working from the white) and would create a full run of built in units that go from just under the window down the the ground. This would be deep enough to hold storage boxes of toys and books. A desk could come out from this unit (about half way down). I would then mirror a book shelf either side to give it symmetry and order adding to the calming effect. I hope this helps. It maybe worth considering a designs on a single room design package or report style package to ensure you get the most from the space - and to your budget. All the best, Gina...See MorePlayroom conversion ideas, anyone?
Comments (10)Hi Diana, I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to playrooms--have you started one to begin to pull together a "concept" for the space? Do you want it to look boho/natural, more Scandi, more traditional, more colourful? What is the rest of your house like? Having a concept is an important starting point which will help people give you better suggestions. What sort of layouts and storage options do you find yourself constantly pinning? For kids rooms I think the biggest starting point is making sure you have enough storage for all the toys. Think about what toys you want to have in the playroom versus which will stay in bedrooms, and work around that. Maybe keep the older kids' more intricate/personal toys like Lego sets in their bedrooms, and keep only group activities like arts and crafts, puzzles, and DVDs etc in the playroom. When you have an idea how much stuff and what type you need to store in the room, then think about storage solutions that fit your needs. Your room has lots of lovely windows, so I'd be tempted to keep it light and airy. It could be fun to put a teepee or ceiling canopy in the corner where the blue Stuva units are, with lots of floor blankets, cushions, fairy lights, etc to make it cozy. And hang picture ledge shelves on the wall next to it display lots of books and art. A big area rug is a must. You can put all your Stuva units on the wall where the dining table currently is, and perhaps change the doors to something more neutral (like the black chalkboard doors they sell for these), or get smaller doors and leave some open shelving for display, and incorporate a bench piece for a desk in lieu of the big table. See the photo below from Pinterest for inspiration. One benefit of this configuration is that all the toys are confined to the wall you can't see from the glass doors & kitchen, so if things get messy in there it doesn't "spoil the view"! I'd be tempted to put a small sofa or armchairs on the wall next to the glass doors (where the wood bookcase is now). I've found that kids like sitting where they can see other parts of the house. That spot also takes advantage of the nice views of the garden. Or if your kids need more storage, then maybe a low level storage unit (ie Kallax 4x2) with nice rattan baskets and lots of art on the wall above. Just some ideas!...See More

4 years agoCould 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 :)

4 years agoWow! 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!
