PLAYROOM DESIGNS

Posted by DSH on Thursday, August 07, 2008

These are tips for Kids Playroom Designs that might be very useful for you :
1. Understanding the function of Playroom.
Playroom can
give kids the opportunities they crave for active play on a daily basis. Here's where a "real" playroom can make a real difference. If you don't want to live with everything laminate for 20 years or have your nice furnishings at risk all the time, a playroom can really help keep the peace. A playroom should be a place for children to put their imaginations to work.

2. The Playroom space.
If a basement is your best bet, paint that old brown wood paneling a warm white, and put down a vinyl or porcelain tile floor. Install ample ceiling light fixtures for the size of yo­ur room (don't skimp) and use the latest advances in bulbs that mimic natural daylight. To get the benefit of real sunlight, a room over the garage is a smart alternative, as is the "bonus room" found in many of today's big new houses.

3. Protection for The Furnitures and Light Bulb
Basically to protect from the occasional football toss; easy-care flooring; and comfortable, movable, easy-to-clean furnishings. Plan different zones with wipe-clean flooring for messy play and softer floor coverings for active play and lounging around. Beanbag chairs a­nd sectionals with washable slipcovers increase the comfort level; indulge in cheerful colors kids love. A workstation or desk with an ergonomic chair can extend the playroom's use for homework, but, even if you only need play surfaces, make sure all corners and edges are rounded for safety.

4. Get Ideas for Playroom decoration
# To help children keep their books and playthings visible, accessible and orderly, the right storage pieces can make a real difference.
#
A color scheme of bright white and primary hues boosts visibility and excitement. A color scheme, es­pecially with rich hues, can also be the main element of a decorating idea.
#
Using lots of white on the ceiling provides visual relief from the bold hues. (Studies show most people are more comfortable in a room that's dark on the lower part, light on the top, to mimic the earth and sky.) Bright white around the windows maximizes the room's intake of light, further enhancing the feeling of balance.
#Most of a child's responses to color proportions won't be at a conscious level, but they'll enjoy spending time in a room that feels both exciting and comfortable.
The whole family will find the playroom exciting and comfortable when it's got snacks and games to offer.
#
Futuristic furniture delights the eye, while warm colors and traditional surfaces provide the necessary grounding.
#
The to-scale ice cream parlor mural is a masterpiece of trompe l'oeil, while a vintage Coke machine and full-size popcorn cart provide real snacks. Furniture has rounded corners in case all that floor space inspires some impromptu roughhousing. Designed for kids, this is a room the whole family can love.
#
Your child will be happy to help you come up with wacky and wonderful images that can come to life with today's nontraditional wallcoverings, borders, furnishings, and decorative accents galore.
