Turning the office into the playroom has been one of the best decisions we have ever made here in our home. It has saved us so much chaos, stress and storage I still can not believe it. Our living room doesn´t have toys in it anymore and feels a lot cleaner. I don´t say that you shouldn´t see that there are living kids with us but I need some rooms without toys and clutter to keep my sanity.
The girl´s bedroom is also a lot cleaner and they go to bed way easier at night cause there are only books and some stuffed animals left.
Our Playroom
As far as painting and flooring goes I did not do much. The paint has been the same since I turned it into a home office (have a look at it here) and the floor has been in there since we moved in. I definitely love the dark and moody green walls mixed with a fresh white and a whimsical blush color. It creates such a magic like in a fairy garden. The room itself is pretty huge and very square so I decided to divide it into four different corners. This has not only helped with categorizing and playing but also with keeping it tidy. I have added two huge carpets and several little ones to support different play areas. Let´s start with the one back left.
The Reading Nook
This was one thing I always wanted for my two book loving girls – a cozy reading nook with a teepee, lots of pillows and blankets. Where they can take their favorite books and snuggle up and just “read”. To make it extra cozy I added a super soft sage green carpet and soft rainbow pillows. I took the little bookshelf we had in the living room to the playroom and also added floating shelves cause we just have so many books. Behind the teepee is a little hanging organizer which holds some small stuffed animals and to the left is the shelf that holds it all. From baby toys to playmobil to puzzles, games and everything else to keep kids entertained.
The Doll Corner
If you want to take a right you will find yourself in our doll corner which is like the name already gives away full of dolls. Here you can find another shelf which was very neccessary cause we have lots of different and small dolls which fit into a small basket. Our Gabby´s Dollhouse sits on a little table and all of the other dolls, strollers, doll beds and our stuffed animals trunk is on the floor on a pretty flower carpet and a soft lamb carpet as well.
The Art Area
To help split off the doll corner from our art area I have added another shelf from Ikea which holds huge boxes that are all filled with different toys like Playmobil 123, Duplo and Barbie dolls.
The little table is perfect for drawing or even for homework when the girl´s are a little older. Our art easel Emilia got for her second birthday fits great into the corner. The best thing about our art corner is the blackboard foil I have added onto a wodden board and glued it onto the wall. The girls love to draw on it with their chalk. This has been such a great addition to this place. On the right is our art cart (you can watch what is in it on here). Plus how cute is the little ABC carpet. It fits the theme perfectly.
Dress-Up Studio
We have now arrived in our last corner, the dress-up studio. I have aquired quite the collection of princess dresses over time and they fit the rod perfectly. To complete our studio I have added a blush mirror and a small kids sofa. The pink pearly crown on top of the mirror and sage royal carpet rounds-up this corner. It is in fact right by the door to enter the room but fits great into the corner.
To conceal the ugly back of the shelf I have added an additional wooden plate and covered it up with a gorgeous blush and sage fabric I have found on etsy. It makes it look a lot prettier and was super easy to do.
Now you have the full reveal of our playroom. I still can´t believe how cute it turned out and I love that the girl´s play there everyday with all of their favorite toys or make some “art” to display. This has been a great idea and not even such a huge work load.
