1. Storage
Your playroom is going to look like a junk room if you don’t have adequate storage, so be sure to start here. There are tons of options for storing toys, art supplies and books and it all depends on the size of your room and your budget. You can install simple wall shelves, use cube storage or something like this cool combination storage unit pictured above from Ikea. Baskets and fabric bins are another great option. Make it accessible to your children so THEY can put their stuff away, so it doesn’t have to fully depend on you to clean it.

2. Table & Chairs
Your kids probably won’t want to play on the floor all the time, and you most likely prefer they doodle with their markers and paints on a table, right? A cute table and chairs will not only provide a way to keep your carpets clean, but a great place for your kids to rest while they do puzzles, play tea party or draw. Little sets are inexpensive and will add a cute, childlike atmosphere to your playroom.

3. Art Supplies
Speaking of art, your playroom can’t go without some great art supplies. An easel is a great addition, because it provides both a surface and storage area to keep paper and paint stored. It may even encourage your children to get artistic more often! You can also create an art wall, where all their work can be proudly displayed, right next to your art station. Be sure to keep paper, crayons, paintbrushes and glue sticks always on hand!
