Looking back, this was a clever idea as it was probably best that the\u00a0mess could be limited mostly to one room!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A spare room can make a great play room and can be altered throughout the years as your children grow up and their interests change. The good thing about a play room is it can be as simple or extravagant as you want. Aside from safety, the only rule for\u00a0creating a play room\u00a0is to have fun\u00a0(hello paint hand prints, bright colours and lots of toys!). It can also be fun to get the children involved in the decorating, as long as you don&#8217;t mind the extra mess!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chalkboards or cheap, plain\u00a0wallpaper can be great as it means the kids can draw on the walls with no damage to the rest of the house! They can also be great for learning and can be a big canvas for creativity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>See below some ideas to turn your spare room into a child&#8217;s dream play space.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/33efb0bec429483e0cf38cb9d78dfbc2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6266 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/33efb0bec429483e0cf38cb9d78dfbc2-300x450.jpg\" alt=\"33efb0bec429483e0cf38cb9d78dfbc2\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/33efb0bec429483e0cf38cb9d78dfbc2-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/33efb0bec429483e0cf38cb9d78dfbc2-137x206.jpg 137w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/33efb0bec429483e0cf38cb9d78dfbc2-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/33efb0bec429483e0cf38cb9d78dfbc2-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/33efb0bec429483e0cf38cb9d78dfbc2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/33efb0bec429483e0cf38cb9d78dfbc2.jpg 427w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/image_title_uyuss.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6267 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/image_title_uyuss.jpg\" alt=\"image_title_uyuss\" width=\"450\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/image_title_uyuss.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/image_title_uyuss-260x150.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/image_title_uyuss-100x58.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/image_title_uyuss-150x86.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/image_title_uyuss-200x115.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/image_title_uyuss-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kids-Storage.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6268 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kids-Storage.jpg\" alt=\"Kids Storage\" width=\"390\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kids-Storage.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kids-Storage-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kids-Storage-207x206.jpg 207w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kids-Storage-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kids-Storage-200x199.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kids-Storage-300x299.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kids-Storage-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div>Sources:<\/div>\n<div>Chalkboard wall: <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.pinterest.com\/pin\/458593174535069140\/\">Pinterest<\/a><\/div>\n<div>Table and Chairs: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hometone.com\/kids-table-chairs.html\">Hometone<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Storage: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gltc.co.uk\/abbeville-storage\/abbeville-storage-shelf-unit-stone\/gltc\/fcp-product\/10002507?kpid=10002507&amp;gclid=COGZ_ZPFgssCFY9uGwodM6IOqQ#fo_c=1028&amp;fo_k=4029ccc64923151a66c9446fa2e4ee66&amp;fo_s=gplauk\">Great Little Trading Co.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>4.

This can be your favourite old armchair moved from another part of the house, or you could invest in a brand new one; the only requirement is comfort! It is also best if the amount of technology used is limited, so no TV or phones allowed!

The best thing about this idea is that is can help to create space in other rooms\u00a0(such as the bedroom) as furniture and clothing can be moved, making your bedroom seem bigger and brighter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Try including a full length mirror and a dressing table such as below\u00a0(space permitting) for a fully equipt dressing room that will make your mornings just that
