Are your children’s toys taking over the house? Could your kids do with a place of their own in which to play? If you are looking for ideas to create a dedicated playroom where your child can learn as well as play, but have run out of space in the house, have you thought about creating a playhouse shed? Sounds like a good plan? Here are some ideas to get you started.

Garden rooms are not just the preserve of the adult population. It is totally possible to create a children’s shed where your kids can play safely, have play dates, and enjoy a sensory environment of their own. All the while clearing your lounge of all those many toys, and giving you back your adult space.
Interested in what you could create in the way of an outdoor playhouse shed? Read on for our top ideas.
One of the key things to consider when planning a playhouse shed is that it will need to be flexible enough to adapt as the child gets older.
For example, soft play will be important for younger children, whilst tech will become increasingly essential as kids wish to start interacting with virtual tools, and eventually you may want to set them up a gaming room and perhaps include some light entertainment, such as a mini pool table, air hockey or even a pinball machine.
It’s also vital to think about how the play shed will aid your child’s development in the earlier years, and how you can inspire creativity and learning through play and fun.
Soft flooring that’s easy to keep clean is an absolute must when creating a children’s play shed. Think about colour and texture to provide a range of sensory experiences for younger children, and something that’s a breeze to maintain as they get older.
Vinyl flooring is a good option as it’s soft, easy to keep clean, comes in a range of styles and designs, and is relatively inexpensive to replace as you upgrade your child’s playhouse shed over the years.
Whatever you have in mind for your children’s play shed, you’re going to want to have it powered up so you can provide internet access, light, music, TV and gaming.
There are various things to consider when connecting power to a shed, not least the need to have everything signed off by a qualified electrician. But if you are aiming for the ultimate outdoor playhouse shed, then it’s something you really will need to factor in.
Anything play related needs to be bold and bright. Your kids and their friends will always be taken by a playhouse shed that’s colourful and appealing in a decorative sense.
Choose a bold colour scheme for the outside, add floral window boxes that they can take care of so they learn nurturing skills, and really try to make it a home from home so the children feel like they are trusted to have their very own space.
Many parents are keen to relocate the abundance of toys and other child related paraphernalia from their homes into a dedicated child’s playroom. If this is something that’s high on your list of priorities, then you’ll want to make sure there is plenty of room to store everything in the playhouse shed.
This is where multifunctional furniture comes into its own, as does good planning. Bench seats that double up as storage, for example, are an absolute wonder. Another great idea is a combination garden room. These practical sheds combine a playhouse shed with a dedicated storage area, perfect for the likes of children’s toys, paddling pools and bicycles.
If you are inspired to create a children’s play shed that will evolve over time, and that could even in time become your own peaceful haven once the kids have outgrown it, Surrey Hills Garden Buildings is ready to make it all happen for you.
