I need ideas for playroom decoration

5 April, 2017

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?

Ideas for children's playroom

Hi there, This is definitely a space with potential! A rug would be a nice addition - you can pick up some really fun prints, and they're great for little ones who are likely to be sprawling on the floor. The idea of wall stickers is also a great one - especially with children's fickle tastes, as they're so easy and inexpensive to change. Also, for a real homely feel, we'd recommend curtains or a Roman blind. We even have a children's range of fabrics, which would really add an element of fun to the space. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the space! Zoe

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

Hi I'll try and take some photos later thos week when I'm at work. Yes middle room which is dining room (with the desk) gets the least light. The playroom has the most natrual light. The front room can get quite gloomy and is probably at it's brightest midday. There are spotlights everywhere but i have the bow lamp in the front room. Want to get a spotlight floorlamp for dining room but haven't felt the need in playroom as there is a light dimmertoo. Hope that helps.

Thanks everyone :) Jonathan's open plan concept is certainly an interesting one...... obviously a more "radical" transformation and my concern would be the expense - lots more walls going up and coming down! (I assume that's a structural pillar near the kitchen island?) We have a budget of around £100-130k, which would hopefully include some general renovations to the existing house (new family bathroom, new bannisters for the stairs, replacement windows to the front and new hallway flooring). We're in West Sussex so might possible have a postcode premium to factor in :/ I do like the idea of having a kitchen/diner/sitting area across the back of the house though, as that would really make the most of views to the garden and countryside beyond. And a proper study at the front would be lovely as it's nice to have a nose out the front while working! I'm not so keen on lugging washing from a front utility room to the back garden, but I do like the side access so it could still function as a muddy boot room. I can see the smaller sitting room not really being used at present, if we had a sitting area in the main room, but it would come into it's own when the children are older and either they or us retreat there to escape each other :) While the children are small, I can definitely see the dining table going where the sofas are in the main room and the former dining room becoming a casual sitting area/play space with toy storage. They just aren't older enough to want to play upstairs in their rooms yet, although my 5 year old will do this if he has a friend over. We could definitely re-configure the room as we went along though. My husband would lose his workshop/man cave in that design, so I'm not sure how he'd feel about that..... but it's certainly something to consider. I think we've shied away from the full open plan concept somewhat, as it feels like quite a leap from the house we are used to! And I always find it odd when a house looks traditional on the outside and then opens up into a cavernous, modern space when you open the front door...... But perhaps I need to sit with that concept for a while, plan it out a bit and take a look at some interior design inspiration? I think it if I could, I'd live in a very traditional, rustic county cottage with cosy spaces, but that it's the reality of this house, so......

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?

You can find a map you like here: http://bit.ly/maps__ :)
