Must-Have Kids Furniture for Playrooms
Kids are funny. Sometimes they want mom's input about what to play and other times they want mom to "Stay Out!" That's why it's important to set-up the playroom with all the right kids furniture that will inspire play ideas when mom's not allowed to.
The first step to doing this is grabbing a paper and pen and jotting down all of your kid's interests. Is your child into imaginary play with dolls? Does she like tea parties with friends? Is she into games or puzzles? Is she a huge fan of doing art projects or reading books? Create a list of her top 10 favorite things to do and it will be easy to create the perfect play space.
Kids Tables and Chairs for Arts and Crafts, Games and Tea Parties

If you're getting the set to inspire arts and crafts, then consider getting a set with built-in storage like the KidKraft Star Table and Chair Set. If your child is more into tea parties and hanging with friends, then consider getting a fancier set like the Kids Korner Square Table and Chairs in White. There are many varieties of kids tables and chairs, so really consider how the set will be used before you choose one. |
Kids Bookshelf, Kids Chairs and Rug for Kids Who Like to Read
 | If your child enjoys reading then you should create a special reading area in the playroom. The size of the room and book collection will determine which type of bookcase you choose. There are tall bookcases like the DaVinci Roxanne Bookcase in Ebony that can hold tons of books, but if your space is limited and your child's book collection isn't very elaborate then you could get a smaller bookcase like the Guidecraft Corner Book Nook that is made to fit in the corner of a room, so it doesn't take up much space, but can hold several books. Add a kids chair to the space, so your child has a comfy spot to sit. This could be a kids rocking chair with ottoman like the KidKraft Rocker and Ottoman or an easy to move, comfy bean bag chair like Comfort Research Fuf Chair. Sometimes kids like to lie down and read, so add a rug to the reading space as well. A kids rug is also the ideal spot where a child can play with dolls and a dollhouse in comfort. |
Lots of Storage for Kids Who Like Toys and Games
 | If your child is into playing with tons of toys and games...because most are, then you'll need some storage units in the playroom to keep things neat. Depending on available space you have tons of options. If you're in need of more seating and storage, consider getting the Guidecraft Classic Espresso Storage Bench with Bins that incorporates both. If you have tons of wall space you could add something like the Alaterre Links Storage Tower that has several open cubbies and larger cubbies on the bottom to keep toys and games in easy reach. There are also several storage units that can be hung on the wall and others that are huge with lots of shelves with bins to keep all your kid's things in order. Assess how many toys and games you plan to get then decide on your storage unit of choice. |
Open Space is Important for the More Active Kid
If your child is into tossing a ball or doing gymnastics then creating an area with open space is also important. On sunny days your kids can go outside to bounce a ball, but when it's raining you want your child to have a little open space where she can release some of that kid energy. Consider this when adding furniture to the room, so you can leave an open spot for juggling, dancing, limbo or other fun, more active games.
