How about some colourful pictures on the walls, and somewhere comfy to sit or to take a nap on? IKEA do little inexpensive yellow sofas if I remember correctly, or maybe you already have a sofa or a large armchair that isn’t precious, that could become part of the playroom

Hi there. Do you have plans or photos of the space? This can easily be done with zoning or with a physical barrier between the areas like using the back of a sofa with a console to create a wall. It would help to see the space :)

It's a gorgeous room. I love the dramatic colour. If you can bear to part with a few things and have a little bit of a purge of books and toys that will help to relieve storage pressure. Then you could create some cupboards to the bottom of the alcove shelves so that toys can be hidden away. Moving the piano to behind the door will help with creating a more open feeling when you first step into the room, but add a door stop so the door and piano are protected from hitting into each other. Moving the chaise to where the piano is now and adding storage trunk/window seat would create a nice grouped seating space. You could use a central low table with storage incorporated as a multi-functional coffee table and arts/crafts space for the children.

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

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?

Maybe add art on the walls (Etsy have lots), a soft cosy rug on the floor, even a tv. Here’s a couple of ideas

Bean bag seating is often a winner with kids. I just saw a trick of putting the beans in a liner so the cover can easily be removed for washing - a perfect solution to be able to keep clean! If you aren’t a sewer, maybe buying 2 covers will work in the same way.

We added decals to the walls. Loads to choose from and most come off easily to change in future 🙂

Hi gee bee, are you changing the furniture in the room or would you like to add additional pieces? Artwork on the wall would look great. Depending on how much you would like to spend built in storage could work well in the alcoves beside the fireplace.

It would be great to have a chat with you to discuss how we can help you and learn more about your project, feel free to drop us a message or an email to hello@thelivinghouse.co.uk
