Children only stay children for so long. Make sure your kids can look back on their childhood fondly by creating a fun and whimsical playroom that you’ll want to show off to your other parent-friends.
Pops of Color
A playroom doesn’t need to have a million colors to be fun looking. By picking a few key bright colors you can ensure the room is fun and exciting looking while still appealing to some of your grown up aesthetics. Lime greens, sky blues and bright, happy yellows are ideal colors for playrooms.
If painting a room lime green doesn’t sound like something you’d like to do, make the room stand out with bright furniture, orange chairs and purple tables will still look fun and exciting on a white wall.
Bring the Ball Pit Home
One of the most fun parts of being a kid is being able to let loose in a ball pit. Create a mini version at home with an inflatable pool and plastic, hollow balls. This DIY can be easily set up and removed when not in use.
A Hanging Chair Becomes the Star of Story Time
A hanging chair or swing in your child’s playroom can create a sense of magic in the room. After making sure the ceiling can support it, try installing a hanging chair, swing or hammock for your kids to enjoy some downtime in.
Chalkboard Paint for Writable Walls
Gaining in popularity over the past few years, any wall can be turned into a chalkboard with some chalkboard paint. Give your kids a chalkboard accent wall and let them create their own playroom murals. The paint itself is relatively inexpensive and easy to obtain, while chalk is easy for kids to use and even easier to clean up after.
Create a Climbing Wall
Bright and colorful climbing holds can be purchased at most outdoors stores and can be attached to wood paneling that is in turn attached to studs in your wall to create a cute climbing wall in your child’s playroom.
Make sure the wall doesn’t go too high and that there is some soft carpeting leading up to the wall in case of minor spills.
For a Cool Playroom, the Sky is the Limit
When it comes to creating a fun space in your home for your kids to create lasting memories, the only thing standing in your way is your imagination. As adults we have the unique perspective of remembering what we wish we had as kids and understanding what is feasible for your home.
Whether it’s a simple playroom with unique touches or a full jungle gym in your home, your kids will always remember the fun they had in their playrooms.
