Child’s play – 10 gorgeous playrooms we love

Designing a playroom for your kids? We’ve done the research and found the best play spaces out there. Welcome to the wonderful world of children’s playrooms. You are in for a treat!

Ignite the flame of fun and enlighten the love of learning with a playroom fit to delight children young and old. Whatever your budget or space, these incredible kid’s playrooms are sure to give you some inspiration.

A blackboard for creative scribbles, some comfy beanbags for reading and impromptu naps, a table for crafts, lots of colourful storage and a dress-up zone spell the perfect playroom (pictured above and top) in this stunner of an example that we found over at 6th Street Design School.

This amazing play area by Mexican design company Vgzar Quitectura showcases a lovely way to make use of a wide open space. The timber floors blended with the large windows create an idyllic area for the kids to play while you cook dinner and keep an eye on things from the kitchen.

Your playroom will probably be one of the brightest rooms in the house so don’t be afraid to explore a number of different colours. Fairy lights, bright rugs and wall stickers can add a splash of colour, like this room designed by Parkwood Homes.

Themed playrooms are always fun. There are so many great themes that you can explore, from jungle to transportation. A garden inspired room can be a delight for little ones who love to explore the outside world. This magical playroom found at Siro House uses hardwood flooring to add a cool touch.

We love the forest critter themed playroom over at Jute Home. Every single detail has been playfully thought out, from the gorgeous rock-inspired rug to the adorable apple pillows and matching bookends.

The beautiful blend of pastel colours and light timber creates a tranquil escape for your little ones, like this playroom designed by Petite Vintage Interiors. The geometric carpet, flower wall mural and the small wooden play house are absolutely stunning.

For a space-saving storage solution, take a page out of this beautifully designed playroom by Jeri Koegel. Not only do the timber cabinets create an elegant and organised look, but they will also store all of those toys, craft items, stuffed animals, puzzles and more.

For a playroom fit for a knight, check out this incredible kids room crafted by Inouye Design. You can transport them to another time and set their imagination free in a play area like this.

Go for a beautiful outdoorsy look with a combination of wooden furniture, bark-inspired storage bins and a gorgeous white teepee for quiet time. We love the addition of the woodsy critters scattered around the elegantly-designed room from Energy Smart Home Plans.

For older children, give them a place to read, write, draw, design and play to their heart’s content with this woodwork-inspired playroom designed by Armelle Habib.
