I have a toddler and a baby who spend most of their time playing and crawling on the floor. The kids play all throughout the house with their toys and books strewn everywhere. Our two year old is very active and our baby will be walking soon, so I wanted to create a dedicated play space just for them. The playroom needed to be safe, cozy, healthy, and inviting to two little ones.
We have a historic home with hardwood floors throughout the house, so the first step to designing this room was choosing a carpet that made sense for us, we settled on a stylish, textured tile carpet. We complemented the carpet with a brown leather daybed, a tent, and creative storage.
We wanted the space to be gender neutral for both Jackson and Savannah, but also to flow with the rest of our home with the Black Art collection and plaid (a favorite of mine). I hope our playroom helps to inspire your playroom or children’s rooms and how best to incorporate carpet into your home. There is a carpet style, color, and pattern for any and every room.
Our little ones are very active so we wanted to give them a comfortable playroom that was stylish and would be able to grow with them.
Tiled Carpet
Tiled carpet gives our playroom a soft cushion underfoot and helps to reduce noise from our little ones feet or toys
Reading Time
These two love to have their dad sit and read to them.
Snack Time
Snacks are a must for the playroom, the kids love juice and with the tiled carpet we can switch out the tiles as needed.
Toy Chest
Keeping toys put away and organized can be a struggle with little ones. Picnic baskets are a stylish, storage solution that can be easily hidden or carried to other rooms or on a trip to the beach or park.
Breath Easy
Carpets support healthy living, by improving indoor air quality.
Tent Time
We added a little tent to the room for a place to cuddle up with a book and teddy bear.
You will see Black Art throughout our home, and the kids room is no exception, we want to continue to share our heritage with our children through art and books.
