By Austin Miranda Your child’s playroom is a place where imagination and creativity are nurtured. This is a place where colored pens, papers, easels, puzzles and other art materials and toys are commonly found. Since this is the case, it becomes important to care fully plan the layout and storage units inside the room. Parents should learn more about kids’ playroom designs so that they can provide a playtime haven for their children.
The Layout
When you are planning the layout for the playroom, be sure to pay attention to the amount of available space. Consider if the room is large enough for multiple children to play in. What if you do not have an extra room for your kid’s playtime, would you know how to create a section of his bedroom into the needed recreational space? Compact living can affect the way this room is laid out so consider placing extra seating and storage pieces. Make good use of the walls while freeing the center of the room for creative activities.
A lot of table space is required since children will need tabletop surfaces to do their arts and crafts. With smaller tables, just make sure that you use an L-shaped layout so that everyone can still be comfortably seated.
When it comes to seating, see if you can find basic wooden chairs to go with the rest of the playroom furnishings. There are literally thousands of styles to choose from. When designating chairs for a reading nook, why not consider beanbags instead? Always consider the personality of your kid as you design the room. You can also – with your kid’s permission – hang his artwork on the wall.This should make the room more vibrant and customized.
The Storage Units
Storage can be a real challenge if you do not know where to place it. Just imagine where you would put away the large toys and numerous art supplies in order to avoid clutter. Today’s storage options include cubes which can open and close as shelving units. Baskets have also served as storage spaces while becoming an automatic décor. For a more unified effect, choose buckets that match with baskets.
Never underestimate the power of the bookshelf. Remember that your kid will have plenty of books (more so if you are a bookworm yourself) so you have to make room for all these literary works. Shelves can be built into the walls so that your kid’s books and supplies can be conveniently stored.
Other Playroom Features
- Make sure to think long term when it comes to your kid’s playroom. While your little boy may love yellow at the moment, he may not be as lenient about this cheerful color once he grows older. His playmates may coax him that their rooms are painted blue and he might persuade you to do the same with his playroom. Choose your color palette with care. That dinosaur décor might not be as lovely to him when he is already 11 years old.
- Durability is one of the most important factors to consider when building a child’s playroom. Find patterns like brocades, florals and plaids that can make any room less dull. Find fade-resistant fabrics especially when you have a lot of sunlight coming into the room.
- Be unique with your color combinations – see how you can blend neutral hues with black, white, gray and ivory. Find out if you can use chocolate brown and turquoise; green and light peach; chartreuse and navy blue; orange and citrus yellow; denim blue and burnt orange; teal and mustard yellow; fuchsia pink and vivid orange.
There are many kids’ playroom designs to choose from on the Internet. You can also read books and magazines about this topic so it would be impossible not to find anything that you could fall in love with.
