Best Playroom Design and Organization Ideas
Is your kid ready for a playroom? Face it: If you don't designate a space in your home (whether a room, a corner, or one side of a room) as a play space, the entire house can become one. Before you go on for too long tripping over toy trucks in your bedroom or fielding Nerf gun shots in your kitchen, consider taking the time to rework your floor plan and set up a specific area in your home that's meant for playtime.
You'll want to take it seriously, too, because this is a situation where haste totally makes waste. If your play space seems less cool or important than other areas of your home, or it's too cluttered, your kid will likely want to venture outside of it for the hours spent playing. Luckily, there are simple and affordable elements of design that your kid will love (and so will you).
Take a peek at these playroom ideas and design trends taking Instagram by storm in 2018. Before you know it, your kids will have a play area that's Insta-worthy, too.
Stylish Organization
If your little one has been collecting toys for as long as she's been alive, there's a chance you'll need to figure out a playroom storage solution that your kid can easily work with. Colorful bins, organization units, shoeboxes, and everything in-between will become your new best friend. Work on storing toys according to type, so your kid knows exactly where to put them when playtime is over. Shop for some colored bins, and watch your kids become clean freaks overnight. (We can dream, right?)
Animal Characters
Animal characters can inspire your wild child, but they can also bring the design of a play area together in a way that kids and adults can both appreciate. Go for timeless animal elements instead of hanging up representations of your kid's favorite movie characters. Shop for an animal head that's also chic to make everyone happy.
Metal Marquee Letters
If your kid doesn't have an entire playroom to mess up, you'll want to make it clear to them (and everyone else!) that there's a section of one room, like the living room, that's designated as their play space. Consider fun wall art that communicates this message to adults and kids. Shop for some metal marquee letters to call that space what it is!
Ball Pits
As long as your kid pinky-promises to pick up the balls that escape from the pit during a play session, a ball pit can really thrill your kid, and it provide hours of endless entertainment. Your kid will love playing with toys inside of it, too, so make sure to skim the bottom for any missing blocks. Shop for a simple ball pit, and watch the fun unfold.
See-Through Storage
Use clear containers or storage bags to organize the smaller toys in your kid's playroom by type of toy. This way, he won't have to rip through everything to find the toys he wants, and you'll have an easier time noticing what kinds of toys are left behind. These are the toys that can be donated when it's time to make room for more. Shop for some clear storage bags and start sorting.
Cute Kitchen Nooks
Create a bigger imaginative concept in your kid's space and watch your child start to depend less on the smaller toys that provide instant entertainment. It's a wonderful practice for kids to use their imagination to the fullest, and you'll enjoy the fact that your kid won't need 20 smaller items to stay occupied. Shop for a cute kitchen set that'll inspire your kid.
Area Rugs
Whether in a playroom or common area in the home, an area rug can trick your kid into keeping the majority of toys contained in one spot. Check out this awesome toy explosion, and you'll notice that the majority of the toys are directly on the area rugs, and most of them are on the larger one. Shop for an area rug to keep things in order like a natural.
Slides and Cushions
Add instant fun to the playroom with a slide and cushioning. Your house will be the crowd-favorite for play dates and parties, and your kid will seriously get a kick out of having the option to use the slide indoors. The best part? Similar to the animal heads and ball pits, it's a friendly way to communicate to kids and adults that it's specifically a play space. Shop for an indoor slide and make your kid's dreams come true.
