Some of the most relaxing spaces in our home are the ones we share with our family.
Winding down with loved ones to end a long day and having the right space that fits everyone comfortably makes the time together that much better. For many homeowners, this is a playroom that offers plenty of space to lounge around and enjoy entertainment and time together.
If you’re renovating a playroom or designing one for the first time, consider these suggestions to make the perfect getaway in your home for everyone to enjoy.
Warm and dim lighting
Set the cosy atmosphere by adding warm lighting to a playroom space. Try gentle brown lamp shades, recess lighting, or copper lamp stands with dimming features. They’re a great option for keeping the atmosphere relaxed and inviting.
These lights also work great if you add a TV unit to your playroom. Dimming lights allow you to enjoy a movie comfortably while having enough light to get around the room safely when needed.
Reading nook
For book lovers in the family, adding a reading nook is the perfect addition to cater to everyone’s preferences.
Choose a quiet corner in your space with room for a seating area or a comfy chair. Add a stylish end table, lamp, and bookshelf with favourite reads for everyone in the family.
Even if the family plays a game while one or two of your kids prefer the nook, everyone can still enjoy the room together.
Stylish Radiators
To keep your room warm and toasty without compromising your design, add a stylish radiator to the space. This creates a cohesive look that’s both visually appealing and functional.
If your room is small and narrow with minimal wall space, consider adding a vertical radiator. If you’ve got plenty of space to work with, a long horizontal unit may provide the heat output needed to keep the room at a cosy temperature.
Be sure to explore a variety of shapes and colour options to find the right fit for your playroom.
A large couch
One of the best parts of any playroom is the comfy seating area for the whole family to sit around together. For plenty of seats for parents and little ones alike, a large couch is a great option.
Consider buying a sectional couch or a combination of a large sofa and chairs.
While this may seemingly take up a large amount of space, it creates a lush and inviting space for the entire family to unwind and rest without crowding the room with unnecessary shelves or furniture.
Try placing it along a large focal point wall and add an area rug for designated seating with plenty of room in the center for games or an ottoman with hidden storage.
Conclusion
