Playroom Makeover

The Ultimate Playroom Makeover: A Color-Drenched Dream in Pressed Flower

If there's one space in our home that sees the most creativity, giggles, and pure joy, it's my daughter's playroom. And after its latest refresh, it’s better than ever! From the dreamy pink walls to the upgraded storage and new activity tables, every detail makes this space both beautiful and functional. Let’s dive into the details of this color-drenched paradise.

The Bold and Beautiful Wall Color

First things first: the walls! I wanted something warm, inviting, and playful, so I went all-in with Pressed Flower by Sherwin-Williams. It’s the perfect rich, rosy hue that creates a cozy yet energizing space for playtime. To add depth and character, I incorporated box moulding with basecap trim, which gives the room a touch of classic charm while keeping it playful.

A Pink Light Fixture to Tie It All Together

A pink room needs the perfect pink light fixture, and I found just the one! It adds a whimsical yet modern touch that complements the Pressed Flower walls beautifully. The soft glow makes everything feel warm and magical—exactly the vibe I wanted for this space.

Upgrading Storage: From Cube Shelf to IKEA Trofast

Storage is everything in a playroom, and I recently swapped out our basic 8-cube shelf for the IKEA Trofast system—and WOW, what a difference! The drawers make organization a breeze, keeping toys neatly tucked away but still accessible for little hands. Now, everything has a home, and clean-up time is so much easier (for both of us!).

Playroom Must-Haves: Seating, Tables, and More!

No playroom is complete without comfy seating, and the egg chair is hands-down one of the best purchases we’ve made. It’s the perfect spot for reading, relaxing, or just hanging out while playtime is in full swing.

For activities, we have a classic kids’ table, perfect for coloring and Play-Doh. And for Christmas, we added a multi-functional chalk/car/LEGO table, which has quickly become a favorite! Whether she's doodling, racing toy cars, or building her latest LEGO masterpiece, this table does it all.

Her Favorite Playroom Pieces

Some of the most-loved items in the playroom include:

  • Her dollhouse – an absolute steal of a deal and a favorite for hours of imaginative play.

  • The IKEA play kitchen – which I gave a custom makeover! (Check out the full DIY transformation here).

  • The easel – a chalkboard on one side, a magnetic whiteboard on the other, with an option for paper to roll down. Perfect for endless creative expression!

This playroom refresh has made such a difference in how my daughter plays and enjoys her space. It’s colorful, functional, and, most importantly, designed to grow with her. If you’re looking to revamp a playroom, my biggest tips are to prioritize storage, embrace color, and choose multi-functional pieces that can adapt as your little one’s interests evolve.
