Top Furniture Items to Include in Your Playroom

If your children are lucky enough to have a dedicated playroom in your home, you know that there are certain furniture and storage items you need to include to keep it a fun and inviting place for you all to play. When setting up a room for your children’s toys, keep in mind the size and number of toys and books your children have and what their interests are. Getting your children involved in setting up a fun and safe room is also a good idea. Here are some must have items for you to include in your playroom.

Top 4 Furniture Pieces for your Playroom

1. Storage: It goes without saying, but you will definitely need somewhere to keep all the toys, games, and books you plan to keep in your child’s playroom. Some options include toy boxes, bookshelves and cube organizers with bins. There is a plethora of options for toy storage, but you have to consider what items you have and where and how you will be storing or displaying them.
2. Low table and chairs: If you don’t want to spend your playtime with your child sitting on the floor, you could purchase a child size table with chairs or stools. This will give you a surface to build puzzles, play board games, color, or have a tea party.
3. Adult Seating: More often than not, children will end up playing by themselves, with their siblings, or a friend on a playdate, but they will still want you to be near them. Consider adding a small sofa for you to sit and watch over your children, while still being comfortable. This is also a great space for cuddling with your little one to read some books.
4. Art Display: Most children love to create art in some form or another. Frequently this art will end up in the recycle bin, but you will also keep more of this artwork than you realize. Another top item to include in your playroom would be a space to display art. You could use a simple corkboard to pin up “Project of the Week” or you could add frames around the room to insert your favorite artwork.

These few items are not necessarily necessary for all playrooms, but are considered helpful. There are so many fun things you can include in a playroom, but it all depends on your child’s interests. Do your kids have hundreds of stuffed animals? You could add a fillable bean bag for them to keep them all in. Have a train fanatic on your hands? Train tables are very popular toys. Have a million Legos, consider adding a desk where they can build and play with their creations. The possibilities are endless, but whatever you come up with, you and your child are sure to have fun together!
