How To Create The Most Amazing Shared Playroom

When you search for playrooms on Pinterest, you tend to see mainly single-sex spaces that are designed with boys or girls in mind. Of course, that shouldn’t be the case today – after all, 2018 is all about gender-neutral upbringing, isn’t it? With that in mind, you wouldn’t think that finding inspiration for creating a gender-neutral, shared playroom that will grow with your kids, as difficult as it can be.

Bearing this in mind, below is a guide to how you can create the most amazing shared playroom that will grow with your children.

Keep the walls neutral

Your best bet for creating a shared playroom is to keep the walls neutral. If you get into the whole choosing colours saga, you could spend hours arguing with your kids about it. Instead, pick one neutral colour (or two) and paint the space that colour. Muted, natural tones are best – think beige, mint green, sand, and seafoam blue.

Use accessories to incorporate a theme

Most kids playrooms have a theme, which is perfectly fine. However, by using the wall colour or wallpaper to create a theme, you limit the room’s age. In time, as your children grow, they may outgrow the theme, which is why it’s better to add a theme with accessories such as pieces of wall art, rugs, curtains, throws, and ornaments. For younger children, you may find that wooden toys work well as decorations/play tools. If you like this idea, you can buy wooden toys from Baba Me online – there are plenty of designs and styles to choose from.

Hard flooring is a must

Want your kids’ playroom to stand the test of time? Then it’s vital to ensure that you create a space that is built to last. This means thinking carefully about wear and tear and choosing to create a space that has the best chance of surviving. Kids make mess; they spill things and stand on things, which means that carpets are a definite no-no, hard flooring is a must-have item.

Be mindful of what’s needed

When it comes to the furniture that is in place, it’s important that you are mindful of what is incorporated. You don’t want to overfill the space, after all, your children need to be able to play comfortably in there and have the space to do so. What’s important is that you only purchase furniture that is necessary for the space. That’s why thinking about what your kids will use it for is important. Will the room be purely for playing in or will they also study in there? If so, then a table or desks may be required.

The key to creating a playroom that is suitable for each of your children and will stand the test of time is designing somewhere that’s neutral, is designed to be simple and effective and is large enough to comfortably accommodate your children and the needs that they have for the space. You can create the most amazing play space for your children, it’s just a case of being smart about how you go about it.

Why not add an outside space too?

Having an indoor playroom provides your kids with their own space to play games and have fun. But for some games and toys, that indoor space might not be enough. Having an outdoor space your kids can play safely can help get them outside on those warm, sunny days, and take some of their bigger games away from the house. It’s also an amazing excuse to treat them to some fun outdoor games and toys, and once you see the range of Range Rover toy cars over at Kidaroos, you won’t be able to resist. Some outdoor play is great for kids, and with their own dedicated area in your garden, they’ll have a space to play without worrying about damaging your flowers or garden ornaments.
