A Playroom For Your Toddler
As your baby turns into a playful and active toddler, the nursery or any spare room should be turned into a playroom where your baby can play freely. This room will be his own space at home, so it should also be decorated for him.
Safety should always come first. Ascertain that the room is free of harmful objects. Clean it thoroughly before proceeding to decorate. There should be no objects with sharp edges. Your child’s playroom should be a safe and enjoyable place for your baby to hang out in.
Depending on the size of the room, the colors should be bright and fun. If it is a smaller space the colors really need to be light and cool colors that will reflect the light. Added lighting will help make the space look larger, cheerier and safer. The large playroom can tolerate the darker colors but keep it colorful and happy.
There are multiple choices for the theme of the playroom for your toddler. They enjoy cartoon characters, so posters of their favorite characters would be fun. You might get one of those floor coloring books and after you and your child color a page, use it as wall art. This can be changed from time to time to keep things fresh and fun.
Toddlers can get overly excited in their ability to run and walk even if they are not fully capable yet to avoid frequent slipping and tripping. Avoid accidents by having an appropriate floor cover. It can be a colorful rubber mat, an area rug or both. You can cover the entire floor with a padded mat, then accessorize with cute area rugs.
Placing an area rug at the center of the room looks good and protects well. Toddlers often run around but usually settles in the wider space. Have a large rug in the middle, and if the playroom still permits, have a smaller rug as a cushion for a piece of furniture. It can be for his table and chair, his train set or the storage cabinet.
Using an area rug or two on a painted wood or tiled floor is very versatile. When your child wants to play with roller skates, or riding toy or just haul out the finger paints, the rug can be easily rolled back for playtime. After clean-up, the rug rolls out again in perfect condition.
Keeping your area rugs clean is much easier than keeping wall to wall carpet clean. When a spill happens, you can easily lift the rug to clean both sides. In a carpet the stain will disappear but some of it will seep into the pad and stay there only to reappear in time. Put an old towel under the area rug when spot cleaning and the spill is completely removed.
There are area rugs especially made for children with lots of designs. Depending on the theme of your choice, you can have rugs full of animal images, numbers, shapes, nature, cartoon characters and more. Your child will have an awesome time looking at the fun rugs in the playroom.
