    Incorporating a play area in your child's bedroom maximizes space and ensures playtime is close to rest time. Opt for versatile furniture that serves double duty, like storage benches and bed frames with built-in drawers.

    A corner of the living room can become a cozy nook for playtime, allowing children to be part of family activities. Look for playroom furniture ideas that complement your living room decor, such as stylish toy organizers and compact play tables.
