Hi moms, this time at home is an opportunity to rearrange and create a playroom for your children. We are dedicated to creating spaces for children, and today we want to give you some very useful tips so you can create a very nice and functional play area at home, so take note and share with us how it turned out.
- Sets the area to use.
You don't need a large space to make your children's play area , you can make their playroom in their bedroom, designate a room or a small space for this, there your little ones can play, create and imagine.
- Choose a theme and color
Once you've decided on the area you're going to use, pick a theme and color palette. Do a quick search on Pinterest , Instagram , magazines, etc. and save all the photos of what you like, whether it's colors, accessories, themes, finishes, etc. By doing this you'll be able to understand a little better what you're looking for in your play area.
Our suggestion is that you don't go for a specific character, as your child may lose interest in it in a short time. Instead, select a theme, for example dinosaurs, the universe, fairy tales, forest, etc. Once you've selected the theme, choose a color palette so that everything you include is in harmony.
- Define what you would like your children to do in each area
Every child is different, so when you plan their playroom it is important to define what you would like to happen in their play area. Maybe you are looking for a more active space with climbing walls and slides or a place where they can dress up, do crafts, build with Lego, read, etc. Therefore, establish what type of play area you are looking for. You can also create a mixed area.
Once you have an idea of what you are looking for, it is time to create a mood board where you express your vision, colors, finishes, and accessories. This way you can have a clearer idea of where you are going. 
- Plan your playroom by areas
One of the most difficult aspects when planning a playroom is the use of spaces. Our recommendation is that you establish an area for each activity. You can designate an art area where there are paints, colors, clays, and a work table. A reading area with a comfortable chair or mat and shelves for books. A symbolic play area with a kitchenette, mini market, etc. A free play area with handrails, swings, etc. This way it is easier to distribute everything you want to use in the playroom.
Take measurements of the area so that you have a better idea of the spaces. You can make a layout on a sheet of paper to give you a better idea of the distribution and then mark each of the areas on the floor with masking tape or painter's tape, so you can have a better vision of how the distribution of the space will look.

- Clean up everything you have
Making a playroom can be as affordable or expensive as you want it to be, before you think about buying everything new, look through your children's toys and furniture to see what things can be used for the playroom, what things with a simple repair have a new opportunity and what already needs to be removed. Planning your playroom before cleaning allows you to be clear about where you are going, this way what you keep will have a purpose in the space you are creating and when you buy anything for your playroom you can do it strategically.
- Finishes
Before you begin filling out your play area, decide whether you'll add elements like tapestries or paint the room. One way to give any bedroom a unique touch is to use tapestries or vinyl. This way, you avoid painting the entire room and create a focal wall. You can also paint one wall with chalkboard paint, or leave it white and add accents with decor.
- Start setting up your Playroom
Once you know what your playroom will look like and all the elements you want it to have, make a list of the things you need to buy. You don't need to make all the purchases from the beginning, but if you have already thought about which pieces you need, you can gradually and harmoniously integrate them into the space.
Now, let's get to work! It's time to put all the furniture and toys into the space. Once you do, you'll have a better idea of what you need.
- Add decorative accents
Choose interesting decorative elements that go with the play area . Before buying a thousand accessories, remember that less is more. It is better to look for a main piece of decoration. This will help you make the most of your budget and make the area look amazing. You can use decorative elements such as pictures with illustrations, decorative heads, a cannopi, hanging installations, lamps, rugs, curtains, etc. If you like DIY, you can make decorative elements with the children.
- Don't forget about safety!
We want the Playroom to be nice, but above all it must be safe, so look at the possible dangerous areas and secure them, for example, try to fix the tall bookcases to the wall to avoid accidents. Do not put objects that they can climb next to the windows and pay close attention to the connections and electrical installation. The objective of a Playroom is that your children can have an area to play and that you can feel calm while they do it.
Now, let's get to work. Making the Playroom can be a very fun activity for the whole family! Tell us what you think! Don't forget that you can buy various accessories in our games and toys section. And if you need more help, don't hesitate to contact us, we have a custom design service here.
