We’ve all seen the stunning playrooms of Pinterest and Instagram, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve wondered to yourself things like: How in the world do they keep it so clean? Where are the dried-up Play-Doh stains on the carpet? I’m sorry, but is that a rock climbing wall?!
It’s important to remember that the social media-worthy playroom is always staged—somewhere off to the side, just outside the frame, is undoubtedly a big baby bouncer made of orange and red plastic, a pile of naked Barbies (why are they always naked?), or some LEGO creation that if taken apart will result in tears of utter catastrophe. Even though we’re made to think otherwise, regardless of whether there is a cohesive theme or a carefully thought-out color scheme, a good play space is simply somewhere little ones can create, play pretend, explore, and have fun at home.
Still, there’s no reason why you can’t have a little bit of both—a playroom that is fun for your child and is aesthetically pleasing for the grown-ups in the home. Will this play area end up looking like Pinterest perfection? Unless you’re an interior designer, then probably not. But, with the right furniture, artwork, storage, and toys, you can give your kiddo a safe place to learn and have fun without totally throwing off your home’s decor.
