I've collected a bunch of spaces to share with you that contain great ideas for creating fabulous kids' playrooms. Pick and choose those that work best for your own unique space, and get your design juices flowing!

| Ah! The magic of chalkboard paint. Paint out a wall, then add oodles of storage for art supplies and toys. Voila! Kid's paradise. |

No room for a dedicated playspace inside your home? Think outside the box (or the house). A repurposed garden shed makes a great outdoor playroom.

A full-size stage (complete with scenery) is a dream come true for budding thespians. This one is quite grand, but the idea can be adapted to smaller spaces.
A bedroom can easily double as a playspace...especially when it features a bed as whimsical as this one.

| Another great idea for a bedroom/playroom? Add casters to the bed and nightstand. They can easily be rolled out of the way when games require a little more space. |

| Although most of us don't have this much space to dedicate entirely to the munchkins, this room offers a good idea. Look for unused spaces such as the bridge pictured here and turn them into cozy reading nooks. All it requires is a few pillows and a basket of books. |

| Playrooms often work best when they are divided into stations. This room illustrates that concept beautifully. |

A bed with cozy linens offers the perfect spot for kids to cuddle up with a good book...or a parent!

Kids love to play in small, secret spaces! A nook under the stairs is a perfect place for a secret playspace...and extra toy storage as well!
I'd love to hear your ideas for creating fun play spaces for your kids!

Remember that play spaces should be easy children to organize/clean up. And the space does not need contain every toy you own. Too many choices leads to a mess! Rotate toys in and out to keep it interesting and cleaner. Think about storage options that work for kids, not you.
I think their Chang Mai set is fabulous. Love the big elephant and think it would be cute in a kids' room. http://www.blisslivinghome.com/chang-mai-p-1244.html
Thanks for the ideas! We're working on the playroom for our about-to-turn-two year old son. For his birthday, we're going to have his friends put their handprints on a little IKEA table we bought him. I really wish I had more ideas for layering the room - I want stuff up high and textures and colors that aren't primary colors. Wish me luck!
