Planning a playroom? Here are some things that make a playroom both fun and functional.
Use open and closed storage to make things easy for kids to reach but to also help encourage them to put things where they belong.

Add a space for quiet reading. Make it comfortable with cozy seating, pillows, and other soft spaces to encourage reading and down time.
Add in an arts and crafts area with a child size table and chairs.
If you've got an art table, you're going to want a spot to display those masterpieces.
Add some fun hideaways with a fort, tent, or teepee.
Have fun with color. Polka dot ceilings? Why not?
Or how about a mural?
You'll need plenty of child sized seating. Benches are great for sitting but also come with added storage.
Make sure there's enough space to spread out and play on the floor. We added in this cute woodland themed rug from Ikea.
Not everyone is going to agree on this, but we did add a small TV/DVD player. Because no one wants to watch Bubble Guppies all day long. Except the kids.
Don't forget the make believe areas and props.
