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.

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 MoreIdeas for my kids playroom
Comments (15)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....See MoreEarly stages of designing attic play room
Comments (20)I don't know what everyone likes stylewise or colours but I quite like the houses on the wall in the first pic on the wall where your sofa is. The kids could update the characters in the Windows using decals when they grow out of a phase. It's only paint so easy to paint over when they're teenagers. The rest of the walls i'd do in a scrubbable paint. Where the radiator is i'd add a table like pic 2 but with the shelves underneath the table in pic 3 for craft storage (maybe make it deep enough for a games console in the future). I'd also add cheap shelves above for art and pencil storage etc with bins etc. The desk could be raised when they grow but also used as a tv stand when they're older. The eames chairs are kids one, they're easy to keep clean and quite cheap at £25 (seat height is 32cm) for when they grow out of them. I'd add a rug in the middle and the beanbag by the bookcase. You could add a "once upon a time" or a "read" decal over the bookcase And maybe star bunting or Pom poms over the eaves to cosy up the reading area. l'd add clothes pegs on the cupboard door for their dress up stuff plus a couple of toy bags for lightweight bits. I'd keep the rest of the room free for play (although the existing drawers could be handy) and when they're older add a sofa for tv, PlayStation etc. What type of lights do you have ATM?...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!
