Toddlers and preschoolers have more toys and gadgets than we know what to do with. Although, they would be happy playing in a cardboard box, we may tend to overdo it with all their extra clutter.
Even though our little ones can be fulfilled by raiding our Tupperware drawers, we still need a place for them to play. If you’re looking to create a new space in your home as your toddler’s playroom, I have gathered a bunch of chic playroom ideas for you below.
Just because it’s a place for all of your child’s brightly colored toys, loud musical instruments, and pretend play gadgets, doesn’t mean that a playroom has to actually look like a child designed it. Your toddler’s playroom is still a part of your home and you can still decorate it to fit in with your style and decor.

Similar to the photos below, I chose to use neutral colors for the walls, rug, and furniture and made separate areas of play spaces.
