You can really add whatever you think will create a safe and fun atmosphere for your children. To help you get started, here are a few must haves for children\u2019s playrooms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>Comfortable flooring. Small children do a <em>lot <\/em>of crawling, and often play sitting on the floor. They also tumble a lot, which makes comfy flooring an absolute must \u2013 especially if you\u2019re planning on playing with them. Getting a nice cushioned carpet for your play space with maximise your kid\u2019s enjoyment of the space. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/local-carpet-fitters\">Hire a skilled carpet fitter<\/a> today to get started.<\/li><li>A reading nook. What better way to encourage your children to read more than by creating a comfortable reading nook for them to enjoy their favourite stories? A few beanbags and a low shelf your kids can reach is a great place to begin.<\/li><li>Table and chairs. This one speaks for itself! Every kid needs a spot to sit and get creative with. You can even get yours custom made to size by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/local-carpenters-joiners\">skilled carpenter in your local area<\/a>.<\/li><li>Teepee or hideaway. Kids love to feel like they have a place they can escape to. It helps their imagination run wild during playtime. Add blankets, pillows and fairy lights to the fort to help create a perfect atmosphere. You can even consider adding a few beds for when your children have sleepovers.<\/li><li>Storage. Your playroom needs to have good storage units to keep all your children\u2019s toys organised and easy to access. Shop around for the perfect shelving, as well as baskets or cube organisers. Once you find the right storage furniture, why not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/local-flat-pack-furniture-assembly\">hire a flat pack assembly expert<\/a> to build it for you?<\/li><li>Art display. Frame your children\u2019s art on the wall, on cork boards, or even on pegs hanging from wall to wall using string. This will help you create a fun, colourful room, whilst also showcasing your little one&#8217;s artistic creations!<\/li><li>Music corner. Want to encourage your children to pick up instruments? A music corner might encourage them to get in tune with their musical side!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, your children\u2019s playroom should reflect their personalities and preferences, so that you can create a space where they can feel safe and get creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2023\/06\/Playroom_blog_3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of a modern playroom for kids\" class=\"wp-image-46843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2023\/06\/20104146\/Playroom_blog_3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2023\/06\/20104146\/Playroom_blog_3-498x332.jpg 498w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2023\/06\/20104146\/Playroom_blog_3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2023\/06\/20104146\/Playroom_blog_3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2023\/06\/20104146\/Playroom_blog_3-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is a Montessori playroom?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lots of people opt for a Montessori playroom, which is based on the Montessori approach to teaching children. Child-led exploration, creativity and learning is at the core of this educational style. Creating a play space with this in mind might look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Easy to access storage so that children can clean up after themselves and learn to organise their own space<\/li><li>Child-sized furniture which promotes independence<\/li><li>Minimalistic design with little clutter and limited choice of toys (this promotes concentration)<\/li><li>Age appropriate artwork (black and white for very small children, with more advanced images as the child get older)<\/li><li>A lot of natural light<\/li><li>The natural world, including lots of plants<\/li><li>Toys that are carefully selected to engage the child (so not just for entertainment purposes), including puzzles and building blocks<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are just a few of the features of a Montessori playroom. At the heart of this playroom design is an attempt to help your children concentrate and learn, whilst fostering independence and confidence during play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2023\/06\/playroom_blog_4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of a playroom for kids with colourful carpet\" class=\"wp-image-46844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2023\/06\/20104314\/playroom_blog_4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2023\/06\/20104314\/playroom_blog_4-498x332.jpg 498w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2023\/06\/20104314\/playroom_blog_4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2023\/06\/20104314\/playroom_blog_4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2023\/06\/20104314\/playroom_blog_4-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do you set up a toddler playroom?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your child is still very young, you need to take extra precautions to ensure your play space is safe for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soft play areas are a good idea, as they\u2019ll allow your toddler to run, jump, tumble and climb safely. Soft climbing structures and foam matts are a great place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure your toddler stays safe, you might want to think about getting a play yard \u2013 an enclosed space for your toddler to play in. These are great at helping your toddler feel ownership over their own little space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opt for bright colours and bright wallpaper, as toddlers love colourful spaces, and always pick child-friendly and child-sized furniture. A wide variety of toys will also ensure your toddler is fully engaged and exploring. You can really get creative here \u2013 such as chalkboard paint that turns your playroom\u2019s walls into a giant canvas. Great storage is also key \u2013 toddlers love to make a mess!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want child-safe, bespoke furniture for your toddler\u2019s playroom?
