Well, don’t walk the plank. The room itself is great.

Take down all the art: little one can put it all in his special wicker basket (for safekeeping). She can take it down on a rainy day and take a look at her treasures.

Then have him get all his favorite toys and put them in the middle of the room, temporarily.

Mount the t v on the wall and surround with lots of storage, utilizing the baskets you have.

Add the sofa and a game/craft table which will work for older children, as well. Extra stools mean extra seating.

Put the tent in front of the window.

Now, youngest, can put his toys in the tent and take them out when it is time to play.

I wish you well. As a mother and once upon a time 2nd grade teacher, everything need not be displayed, just saved…safe and sound.

Paint color? From where does the natural light come?

While I have no suggestions ( you’ll get plenty), I just wanted to say how happy this room appears. This gramma would love to spend time with her kiddos in a space like this.

Instead of the tent, consider framing the window with curtains for a similar hideaway...

In all honesty, it looks like a fun room! Any child would be lucky to have full reign of that place!

I’m with some of the others. Your photos make me smile. JudyG has some good suggestions, particularly about a table and storage, but let the art speak. They will move on to other things soon enough and you will miss it. We can tell how my artsy granddaughter, now 6, has spent her day by the trail of art and supplies. Her dad was the same and is now in production theater. She has what we call the art cart. I’ll try to find a photo, as it works really well.

Happy room. How old are the kids now? Two seating areas (one for younger, one for older kids) will likely will be taken over by the younger's arts and crafts. Target has lots of bookcases and storage cubbies that should be secured to the walls. I would keep the sofa as long as possible through the teen years because it is going to be well used with things spilled on it.

@JudyG Designs thank you so much for al the suggestions and paint colors (and I haven't quite walked the plank yet ;-) lol)

@apple_pie_ordermy kids are 13 and 7 and it will be for 7 year bc older son will use basement mostly. it is a VERY happy room and I am usually pretty tidy and organized but I love watching them explore and enjoy the room so much!

Again, I love that it currently gives them freedom to do their thing. If I myself had a room where I could sew, craft, etc, and not HAVE to be totally neat and always put things away, I’d be happy!

@lizziesma thank you so much!!

@Shoemaker thank you! xo

@ngcurt thank you!!

@er612 thank you so much!!

Consider picking your top three choices of wall color and then let the children choose from them. Keep it fairly neutral. Keep the trim white.

Would not put fabric window coverings over the windows -- white plantation shutters could be a better idea.

You need storage. Where possible, get furnishings that serve a dual purpose. Also choose furnishings that work now and can age with your children.

A storage ottoman for each child could serve as a seat with storage. With a lid that flips, it could also be a single tablet top. Paired/sized for use with a table, they could encourage the two of them to play together : table top and/or board and/or card games,putting together jig saw puzzles. Used as a seat now for small children, an ottoman could later be used for its intended purpose.

A large cork bulletin board for each child could help solve some display issues.

A single high shelf the same color as the wall hung all around the room over the door and window frames could provide room for small items or storage containers .

Office furnishings might be worth considering -- especially if gently used and priced right -- such as a credenza (providing a wide table top) or a pair of short filing cabinets (two file drawers, perhaps with a third top shallow drawer) could provide storage and, with a plywood top, could serve as a table or desk. These could eventually end up being college bound, with their top, as a desk, or without, as bedside tables.

A corner cabinet for each child could display larger treasures without constantly sticking stuff to the walls and not take up a lot of room -- or fit one above each corner desk.

Box shelves or modern interesting wall shelving would be worth considering.
