Top tips from Resident style Advisor, Nadia McCowan Hill on achieving a perfectly balanced playroom:

Beginning with neutral foundations

Effortlessly choosing a colour scheme for the playroom which fits in well with the rest of the home, creates an air of consistency. Calming creams and soft greys, harmoniously paired with pockets of black, generate a stylish monochrome look. Paired with white, pale wood and teddy bear brown shades intermingled with playful toys such as the statement lion rocking chair and plush soft furnishings. Accessorize with some joyful pops of colour to bring a smile to the face and catch the attention of little eyes! 


 

Touching textures  

Simply adding some texture helps welcome a layer of cosiness to a room, which is ideal to create a snug space for little hands and feet.Touch and texture is a sensory tool that helps babies and toddlers learn about their environment and adds another dimension to the overall styling. Using a blend of knitted throws, faux furs, rattan and squishy bean bags offers the ultimate comfort, paired with a gorgeous night light work with personalised alphabet cushion harmoniously create a familiar feeling reading nook to get you and the little one ready for nap time!

Practical yet concealed storage

As any parent will know, storage is definitely key to help keep a space tidy of toys and general clutter! A built-in wardrobe is a brilliant space to do just that, but the addition of a selection of handy baskets and boxes in different sizes means everything is effortlessly organised. A simple way to find your little one’s toys, books or cosy blankets. Using a variety of styles and textures and maintaining the colour scheme of the main room ensures everything is cohesive.

DIY details 

Alongside neutrals, a playroom is a fantastic opportunity to welcome some extra colour. Painting natural wooden stools in a simple scandi design is a simple DIY upcycling idea that gives you flexibility to have some fun and get crafty. Choosing joyful pastel shades in sunshine yellow, white, baby blue and mint green is a great way to spark a smile. A perfect accompaniment to an activity table, to watch your toddler learn, grow and get messy.

Stylish soft play and pop up playtime 

A soft play area is a great way to watch your little ones interact with their friends and acquire their senses. Extending the minimalist neutral tones outdoors, continues the playroom flow beyond walls. Trying a minimalist design and neutral colour palette of individual blocks which fit together simply, the Montserrat Playhouse can be easily moved for use in the playroom or garden and the built-in ball pit is certain to provide endless hours of fun for little ones and adults alike! Paired with a calming teepee style play tent provides perfect outdoor zoning and shady spot, filled with neutral toned plush cushions is an idyllic outdoor oasis to enjoy time with your youngster in a harmonious fuss free environment.
