Don’t mind if we take a week off revealing our rental house to reveal a new client media room turned playroom! This playroom was destined to be cool from the start and I am beyond excited to be able to share it with you all now.
My brief was to create a mini-man cave, with enough storage to house toys, crafts, a TV area, a snack bar (gasp!) and a twin bed turned train/play table for a 5 year old boy to live out his days. What a dream! I could see the vision for this one right away and knew it needed to have bold wallpaper and a practical / bold rug to match.

As it is a media room, lighting was a big consideration and a blue led strip light was changed to create a completely different atmosphere. There are also no windows in this space, which meant we had four entire walls to decorate.
Organization and storage were high on the list, so I chose this sturdy and large unit to house lots of toys, legos and a big train set (along with dozens of other toys). I love how spacious this storage system is, and we changed the handles to tie in with the rest of the room. You can see the twin bed turned Lego / train table above and it is one of the best DIY tables I’ve seen!
The bold wallpaper that my client went for is by Rebecca Atwood. Her wallpapers are beyond special and this one makes such a big impact! The giant wall world map is by Gathre.
On the other side of the room, there’s a TV and lounge area. These beanbag chairs are beyond kid-friendly and perfect for Mom or Dad too! The bold PLAY letters are from Restoration Hardware.
One of the most exciting parts of this space is the snack area. A mini fridge for easy-to-grab drinks and a microwave for convenient movie popcorn! Snacks are kept below and are perfect for playdates and family movie nights. In the corner, the play table works double duty as a place to eat and also a place for arts and crafts. We added the pendant light to help define this area and I love how the small gallery wall pulls the whole corner together.
This playroom was an absolute joy to create. Thank you for stopping by!
