Designing a playroom that’s both functional and fun can feel like a big task, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a little planning and some clever ideas, you can create a space your kids will absolutely adore. We’re drawing inspiration from an amazing room designed by Tarina Wood (@oh.eight.oh.nine), which strikes the perfect balance between playful and practical. Let’s dive into some tips and tricks, complete with photos and ideas you can steal for your own space!
Use open shelving to keep books, toys, and art supplies organized. In this playroom, the wooden bookshelf isn’t just functional; it’s beautiful too. Everything is easy for kids to grab (and put back!). Adding baskets helps keep smaller items neat while maintaining a clean look.
Think about how your kids use their playroom. Do they love reading, crafting, or imaginative play? This playroom divides the space into purposeful zones: a cozy reading nook, a craft area, and plenty of floor space for free play. The scalloped wall detail ties everything together and adds a touch of whimsy.
Pro tip: Use our customizable scallop decals to recreate this look. They come in a variety of colors to suit any style! Don't see the perfect color for your project? Contact us, we can accommodate any color request!
Every playroom needs cozy elements to make it inviting. Soft rugs, throw pillows, and cushioned seating make this space feel warm and welcoming. The adorable fox pillow and playful pops of color add personality, too.
Furniture that doubles as play equipment? Yes, please! Stackable stepping stones, colorful toys, and movable pieces encourage creativity and make the space adaptable. Kids can rearrange things themselves, sparking independence and imaginative play.
Decor doesn’t have to be complicated. Hanging artwork at kid-height makes the space feel tailored to them. A dedicated craft area is a must for little artists. This simple desk with a rotating organizer keeps supplies neat and easy to find. The neutral tones ensure the craft station blends seamlessly with the rest of the room.
It’s the little touches that make a playroom truly special. Felt animals, an abacus, and other whimsical pieces add charm and personality. In this playroom, the decor is both functional and delightful.
