I love decorating! It's so much fun looking through all the kids room ideas on Pinterest. I’ve been wanting to redecorate my kids rooms for a while now but just need some inspiration. One really cool idea I stumbled upon recently is to divide the room using play equipment.
Its win-win because you get to create a play space for your kids that they can loose themselves in with pretend play while at the same time maximising and reinventing the same space. Plus - pretend play is great to boost creativity and cognitive development so it's always good to have some dedicated pretend play space around!
The easiest way to divide your room is to grab a few of the ideas below and put them side by side to form a single wall OR if you have a bigger space, arrange them into two walls like a corner.
Read on below for room divider ideas:
1. DIY Cardboard Ideas Book
Cardboard is cheap, eco friendly and fun to do as an activity together! With a bit of effort you can turn Cardboard into whatever your imagination desires. This book: Cardboard creations Book by Kathryn Ho is full of great ideas if you have a creative flair and love to make things from scratch!
2. Collapsible Playhouse
If you are a bit handy and have some time, you could follow this guide by Mandi Johnson to create your own collapsible playhouse:
3. Fairytale Playtent
This Play Tent for Kids by LOAOL has a look to it. I can't imagine any toddler who wouldn't have fun in here! Put cushions, books and a box full of fairytale dress ups and your kids will live in it!
4. Cityscape divider
Here’s another DIY idea I’d love to try – a city scape room divider! You’d just need an exacto knife and some time to cut out all the shapes. You could then fasten the pieces together with some nice ribbon or even plain old string.
5. Calming cubby hole
Even if your not that handy, you can still recreate this awesome space! Simply cut your large windows - they could be any shape you like - from a carboard box. To make it extra coxy, place cushions inside and perhaps some sensory toys. Add curtains over the windows, or stick on a toy mirror to the roof!
6. Premade cardboard spaces
If you don't have time or prefer not to DIY you can simply buy some really cool and eco friendly carboard play spaces like this rocket ship from Ikea. Kmart have some nice ones as well.
7. Reversible Theater
Puppet theaters are awesome and this reversible theater / grocer from Amazon would make a great birthday present! I love how it doubles as both a Puppet show or Grocery shop.
8. Aesthetic Grocer
Here's another very aesthetic looking grocery stand from Hip Kids that wont offend your eyes or your living room space :)
9. Small space divider
For smaller spaces, this room divider by My Little Home would be perfect! It's super flat so it lets you divide the room minimally but still provides plenty of opportunity for play.
10. Cute and compact Bookshelf
It's a great idea to give your child access to all their books with a little bookshelf. This one by Keezi has wheels so you don't have to unpack it before moving it!
11. Rotating Bookshelf
If budget isn't a problem from you this super fun rotating bookshelf from hipkids would make an excellent addition to your space dividers.
12. Ikea Storage Unit
You can't do an article on kids rooms without mentioning Ikea's Trofast storage unit. It's the perfect size, looks great, budget friendly and helps to section your room while providing the perfect storage space. Plus you can mix and match the box colors to suit your personal style!
13. Eco Cubby
Another cardboard idea! This cardboard cubby from Wolf and Bear is one of the coolest play spaces I've seen without breaking the bank. You could paint it, or hang little fairy lights in the tree.
I hope you feel inspired by these kids room / play space ideas. A few of these next to each other would be the perfect way to divide the room and create the play space of your kids dreams.
