There’s no getting away from the fact that kids’ playrooms tend to be in a permanent state of general chaos. From toys and books scattered across the floor to unfinished pieces of art adorning the walls, there always seems to be something that needs tidying up. It is possible to reduce the mess levels and create an environment that’s safe, clean, and tidy, for your little ones to play in. Part of the equation involves giving children a certain amount of responsibility for their playroom, but we’ve also got a few products that should make things easier for everyone, without removing the character from your kid’s playroom.

Storage

Making sure that every item has a ‘home’ is the first step to curbing the clutter and minimising mess. However, while they might be practical, furniture such chests of drawers and shelving doesn’t have to be dull. You can buy units such as our Robot Bookshelf or the Storagepalooza II White Wide Toy Organiser, which are as fun as they are functional. Alternatively, look for storage boxes such as the Rue Washed Red Stackable Storage Bins. These make for easy organisation and can be moved when it’s time to get the duster or the hoover out.
  

Create a quiet corner 

While playrooms tend to be where kids dive into games and activities, they can also be the space where they lose themselves in a book. Create a dedicated ‘quiet corner,’ where your youngsters can immerse themselves in stories and practice their reading. Our Giraffe Bookcase is ideal for safely storing books, while floor furniture such as our Large Octopus Bean Bag Chair, encourages children to take a break from play and explore the educational aspect of their play area. We can even offer some superb rugs to give the quiet corner a cosy aspect. To inject more fun into things, check out rugs such as our Animal Shaped Rug, Multi Colour Round Splatter Washable Wool Rug, and our Outer Space Rug.

Fun-sized furniture

Choosing furniture that’s appropriately sized can help reduce the potential for accidents, keeping your kids, floors, and furniture that much safer. Our Pint Sized White Toddler Table works perfectly with our Pint Sized White Toddler Chairs, giving two children the chance to paint, write, or draw without having to stretch too far. However, if you think they’d prefer something on the more comfortable side, check out our selection of Nod Chairs. Perfectly proportioned for youngsters, they look as good as they feel and add that ‘grown-up’ feel to a playroom. 

If your kids are budding artists, it can also be worth protecting your floor or carpet against spills and splashes. Our Floor Splat Mat is fun and colourful and supremely practical. For play that’s possibly messier, investing in a Sand and Water Table allows your kids to get to grips with new textures and materials, but without ending up with half a beach on your rug.
