A playroom is a child’s treasured space in the house – somewhere all his own. It is different from your child’s bedroom, which has multiple functions: sleep, homework, etc. The playroom is aptly named – it is a room designated for one activity only…play! While not every house can support a separate room just to devote to play, you can still create a special space for your child with all the same functions. Where to find space? If you don’t have a bonus room or unused room in your home to designate as the playroom, try creating your child’s special place by utilizing a separate corner of the guest room, a portion of the basement, a section of your dining room (typically this room goes unused except for special occasions anyway), or a corner of the family room. Once you decide on a special place to be your child’s playroom you will want to decorate and outfit the playroom with these 3 must-have playroom furniture and accessories:
Durable Lighting – Wherever you locate the playroom, you’ll want lighting that’s protected from the occasional football toss. The best bet is a sturdy overhead lighting fixture. This type of lighting is not only functional and practical, but provides a wonderful decorating opportunity. The must-have item is colorful and unique switchplate and outlet covers. Maybe with such a fun cover, your child won’t forget to turn off the lights when they exit the room!
Easy-care Flooring – A durable, stain resistant rug is a must-have item for your child’s playroom. This is not the place to skimp. Your investment in padding and carpet upgrades will be well worthwhile as your child grows and his play gets rougher and messier. If your play area is in a designated space of another room, choose a colorful and comfy floor rug for your child to play on. A separate rug also helps to designate the play area and make your child feel that this area is his own.
Fun Children’s Table and Chairs Set – This is a must-have item for any playroom or play area. This is the place where your child will create art masterpieces and handcraft loving birthday cards and ‘I Love You’ notes. You will find a large selection of beautiful and well-made table and chairs sets for kids available so take your time and choose a set that is functional yet colorful and decorated according to your child’s individual tastes and preferences. Make sure the set you choose is comfortable, movable and easy-to-clean.
