As a mother of three young (and chalk-happy) daughters, I LOVE the idea of covering an entire wall with a blackboard. Even when it's not in use, it still strikes a visually appealing contrast to the fresh white shelving unit and floor rug. A great finishing touch for a fun, functional playroom.
The chalkboard wall exhibits how children's environments can subtly enter into the flow of a room. This, as it currently appears, is strictly a playroom. But with minor rearranging of shelf contents and removal of the white table, this could easily serve as a stylish living room where kids AND adults can play.
My favorite playroom ever!
This chalkboard is so "right" in this room! I can see the kids use it for art, homework or just fun games with their friends.
Maximize storage. “Whether it's an open cubby concept with baskets or long credenza with drawers, it is critical that the kids have plenty of places to store their toys,” says Wolfe. “It goes back to that idea of reclaiming the adult space once the kids are through for the day.” Wolfe suggests shopping at places like Ikea or West Elm for functional, age-neutral storage pieces that won't break the bank.
