Lately I have been browsing Pinterest for some playroom inspiration! We are transitioning our basement and it’s always great to get inspired by other creative people and their designs. Below I have narrowed it down a few of my favourite spaces and I want to share them with you. I am attracted to bright airy spaces with lots of fun bold colour, a perfect space for kids ;)

I cant get enough of these unique shaped honeycomb shelves, by adding your own backing it gives your space a little extra burst of colour.

Talk about one beautiful wall mural! The colour combination paired with those adorable dipped stools is perfection.

White as a simple background emphasizes every pop of colour, while small details of a space stand out.

Toy storage and shelving is a must. Using wire baskets and a bold accent colour adds interest to any space. Sometimes toys themselves add plenty of colour!

Teepees, book ledges and a colourful rug are must haves in a kids space! Even I want to curl up and read a book in that adorable teepee :)

Arts and crafts are one of the best ways to keep kids entertained! And chalkboard walls are sure to keep those little ones imagination’s flowing.
Now that I have shared my inspiration, you think planning your very own kids playroom space would be a little easier. There are so many creative directions I want to go that this whole process is pretty tough! Below is the before and right now its a big toy dumping playground, you can see more updates here.
Some of the items on the boys playroom list are:
• Teepee
• Retro toy storage/shelf
• Mountain wall mural
• Table and chair set
• chalkboard
• Art and craft station
• Art galley display
Am I forgetting anything?
We also plan to use this space as a family/entertainment room for lounging with a nice large TV hung above the mantel. Brent and I will also have a small work space in the corner (not shown). This room is also equipped with a bathroom and a small kitchenette… can you say popcorn parties? I know that once this space has some cable and comfortable seating, we will be hibernating down here in the colder months! And no more toy explosion all over the rest of the house… but who am I kidding, there will just be another trail of toys leading down to the basement! *handsoverface
What are some of your top essentials when it comes to designing or setting up a kids playroom/area?
Thanks for reading,
Those dipped stools are too cute!! Great inspiration, your play room is going to rock!!
Thanks, aren’t they amazing spaces!!!
These are amazing play room! When we move, I plan on doing a room much like the ones listed here! Thank you for sharing!!
Yes, they are full of creativity and colour! :)
We just did our playroom, too! I LOVE all of the current inspiration on Pinterest!
These are amazing! I love the room with the aqua wall and of course the chalkboard wall! We have a playroom, but it definitely doesn’t look that great – plus it’s half playroom/half workout room! Can’t wait to see how yours turns out!
Beautiful! I look forward to seeing what you do!
Wow, love that you have a whole room (and a big one at that) to be designated for play! That’s awesome. My home lacks room for even my 6 week old who is living in my bedroom right now and will prob end up sharing a room with big sis. Anyways, loving that honeycomb shelf action in the first pic. Thumbs way up for that! Looking forward to seeing what you do with your space! -Misty
Love the inspiration and absolutely love your playroom space. Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Such cute ideas! Can’t wait to see what you do!
I really like all the ideas you gathered! I think this is going to be a great playroom! I’ve thought of the chalkboard wall for my girls too but I’m thinking a way to incorporate it in the house. There is no extra room to transform into playroom, basement is a good idea but my husband needs it for his projects. (Maybe I’ll have some convinsing to do!) I really like your blog, found it through fb, your “about” page made me want to see more!
Thanks, I hope it turns out how I imagine it, although the toys are already everywhere, lol typical kids! And aw Thanks for reading, that makes my day to hear that :)
