How To Create The Perfect Playroom: 6 Playroom Design Ideas
Bigjigs Toys have been creating perfect playrooms since 1985. If you have a baby on the way or simply want to overhaul your little one's nursery or playroom, stay tuned for the best nursery and playroom design ideas.
1. Choose A Theme
Whether it be nautical, safari, space or beach themed, choose something that reflects your child's interests and unique personality. Themes can also be adjusted with a lick of paint and a change of decor at a later date when your little rascal grows up. You could play it safe with a good old neutral white or grey shade if a colourful theme scares you!
2. Chill Out Zone
When playtime is over, having a comfy spot to relax in is as important as having your child's favourite toys in their playroom! Opt for a soft chair or beanbag and add plenty of snuggly blankets and squishy cushions.
3. Secret Den
No playroom design is complete without a secret den! For a den assembled in minutes, our FSC Certified Teepee comes with wooden poles that easily slot together. Complete with curtains, our adorable teepee tent is everything your kids needs to make an instant den in their nursery or bedroom.
4. Toy Storage
Cupboards, shelves, alcoves and toy chests are your best friends for keeping toys safely stashed away. It's good to consider a workspace for a playroom too, as this can also act as additional toy storage. Children's table and chairs can store stationery and arts & crafts toys on top of it, with teddies and plush dolls stowed away on the seats.
5. Cosy Reading Corner
Reading time is a chance for children to bond with their parents whilst it's also a key part of their early development. Choose a light corner and place lots of easy to reach books on a bookshelf. You could stick wooden letters on the shelf to organise the books from A-Z. This can also help kids to grasp the alphabet by physically seeing the letters in front of them.
6. Chalkboard Wallpaper
Drawing on the walls is every parents worst nightmare, but with chalkboard wallpaper, it can be every parents dream! Little hands can write and draw on the walls with chalk without the need for them to be torn down. It encourages creativity and is a unique design element that keeps memories alive forever. If chalkboard wallpaper is a step too far, opt for a classic art easel instead!
