Our Playroom Furniture and Decor
Our playroom is a tough room to shoot. There’s not a ton of natural light unless it’s really sunny, and it’s not done. The room flooded within weeks of moving into this house, so it’s been an undertaking. A few months later, we did a full renovation and turned our finished basement into a play space for our three kids. Kids rooms are always the most fun to decorate – and even though there are a few more things I’d like to add, it’s already the perfect place for our young children. I added some simple storage units, a toy closet (will share that soon!), a soft rug, reading nook, and a place for adults to sit, too. It’s so nice to have a dedicated space for toys! If you’re looking for playroom ideas, here’s a look at our basement playroom.
Our Playroom Furniture and Decor
We went with white walls since I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do decor-wise, and added vinyl flooring since it’s waterproof and durable. I’d love to add a fun design to the walls – maybe a wall decal or wallpaper similar to what I did in our last playroom. Our sofa came this week, so it’s officially a great spot for the whole family. We can sit while the kids play independently, or all gather around the activity table and play a board game together.
A few things to note: The sofa was gifted from The Inside, and art was gifted from Minted and Artfully Walls. Use code DANIELLEMOSS50 for $50 off a purchase of $199+ at The Inside.

The Activity table vs. table and chairs
We had a play table in our last playroom but I’m so glad I chose an activity table for this space. It’s my kids favorite spot – they can build, color, craft, and it’s a great spot for board games and puzzles. I keep craft supplies in the closet on a higher shelf, but depending on your child’s age, you could leave them in the activity table carts for easy access – something I’ll do when Jack is older. I was a little worried about our baby climbing play table chairs, and we have a table and chairs in the kid’s bedroom.
Choosing Art
Choosing art for above the sofa was the last thing I had to do – I felt so stuck and hadn’t found anything right. Then I found this darling Panda at Minted and Kate loves Pandas, so I knew that was the one. There are a few animals to choose from, and as much as I liked the cat and dog, the elephant felt right with the panda. I paired the two together above the sofa and just make sure they’re the same height.
Wonder and Wise Activity Gym
This was given to us in partnership with Maisonette, and it’s awesome! My kids use it all the time – even more than I thought they would. I would say it’s ideal for ages 2-4 depending on how tall your child is. Margot is almost 6 and can still use it, but she’s a little tall for the monkey bars. When shopping around for one of these, there was another version I liked, but the way the monkey bars were spaced made me too nervous, as a child could fall through. These are spaced close together which feels a lot safer.
The girls have been playing lots of basketball, and climb to the top often. Kate loves the swing, and both girls love the rock wall which also turns into a slide.
