The play room

Parents are constantly looking for playroom designs that maximize enjoyment and minimize chaos. This room can be transformed into an indoor playground for your children. It can include climbing walls at home, arts and crafts stations, storage solutions, and cute teepees.

There are many ways to ensure that your playroom is as creative and imaginative as your children’s rooms.

Jennifer Morris, an interior designer, and founder at JMorris Design say that kid spaces can be magical because they allow you to bring in some whimsy without too much stress. This is a great space to experiment with bright colors, intelligent storage solutions, and

We have compiled some of the best ideas for playrooms, where art, music, and toys can always be available with expert advice from top interior designers.

STRING STEREOTYPES ON THEIR HEAD

In recent years, the pink-for-a-girl, blue-for-a-boy rule of thumb has been abandoned in favor of more polarizing colors. Helen Shaw, Director of Marketing at Benjamin Moore, says people are shifting away from stereotypically gender-based colors in children’s rooms. Although green paints are becoming more popular, they are still like Khaki green. Then, instead of pink, we look at coral and Terracotta. This is more alive than a Barbie pink.

Designers are also taking inspiration from nature. Russell Whitehead, 2LG Studio, says he loves bright greens, sky blues, and yellows in a playroom. These colors evoke excitement without being too zingy or peppy that they feel like a sugar rush.

CONNECT THE PLAYROOM WITH THE REST OF YOUR HOME

Do you want this space to become an extension of your home or a child-centric area? Your nursery may be too busy and should blend harmoniously with the other rooms.

Helen Shaw suggests studying the color wheel to ensure a harmonious palette for your home. She says that if you have open spaces, or areas that flow from one another, it is essential to use colors from the same or adjacent color families. You can avoid clashes by staying within the same family. She says that if you move to the opposite side of the color wheel, it’s easier to create a more energetic scheme.

Opposing colors must work together. This means they must be balanced in terms of their vibrancy and value. Value refers to how grey they are. She explains that a combination of a bright, clean red, such as a pillar box red, and a muted color, like a muted yellow, won’t work as well as a muted, muted, or mixed red.

ACCENT FURNITURE INCLUDED

While accent walls are coming back in recent years, accents are quick, easy, and affordable. Accents are a great way to add color to a playroom.

Helen Shaw from Benjamin Moore suggests using paint to create a backdrop around furniture pieces or fixtures like a chalkboard or desk.

“If you have a desk in the corner, you can create a zone around it with a little color. You can also use a geometric shape to make that zoned area. This will frame a piece of wall art. Although it doesn’t feel dominant, it can give you some color.

Russell Whitehead, 2LG Studio, suggests that furniture can be accented with color.

FUTURE-PROOF DECOR

The playroom is a space that a child will use to grow. It will take less time to decorate a teenage bedroom. To avoid redecorating every year, think about how the room’s purpose might change.

Russell Whitehead, 2LG Studio says that graphic shapes are timeless. He says that geometrical and organic motifs are great options for wallpapers or murals because they last long enough to feel relevant even after the toys have been outgrown.

Don’t let your imagination get the better of you by thinking that some colors are too childish or more mature than others. It is up to each individual. So let your imagination run wild with color choices, without worrying about being too young. He adds that we can all be young at our core.

RECYCLING MATERIALS WORK – IF POSSIBLE

It would be best to remember that the playroom is where your child will spend most of their time. You can strike the right chord by using non-toxic Eco paint or eco-friendly materials.

Benjamin Moore’s Helen Shaw says that there is so much greenwashing within the industry. However, most wall-painting water-based paints now have a VOC rating between low and minimal. Trace is a new name. This means that there will be minimal fumes from the paint. It won’t cause any discomfort to your family and your children won’t be inhaled in toxic fumes. Russell Whitehead suggests amplifying color using natural, tactile materials to stimulate curiosity and stimulate the senses.

Playrooms can be decorated with natural and sustainable materials. Cork flooring and recycled plastic as well as sustainably sourced wood, Marmoleum, lino, and sustainable wood are some of our top choices,’ he said.

MAKE A PLAYROOM MULTIFUNCTIONAL

Decorating an apartment or smaller home may only allow you to dedicate a portion of the room to play. Make a multifunctional room to create a play space.

Alanna Dunn, the interior designer at ReenaSotrupa, says that the playroom is situated in the formal dining area of the house. (opens in new window). Our clients used the playroom because they were less severe entertainers than their children, and the space is now a place for them to entertain until their children get older. The space’s beautiful coffered ceiling is a result. It will be converted into a dining area in the next few years.

“To design it, we used a large pinboard to collect all the child’s artwork in one place. Alanna says that children’s toys are intrinsically colorful, so we decided to keep the room’s main elements white.

OPT FOR EASY-TO-REACH PLAYROOM STOCK

Interior designer Jennifer Morris warns against hiding things in this area. In my experience, something left behind doors will accumulate dust and become forgotten. Open shelves with bins are easier to reach and use. I love reading, and I love to add a library to any space.

Open shelves make great storage solutions for displaying the finest things your child has. These can be used as decorative elements and look great on open shelves if your child has an extensive collection of LEGO action figures or books. These decorative elements will add color and life to white walls.
