Fun Basement Playroom Ideas: From Softening the Floor to Swings

Fun Things: There are quite a few playroom ideas that are perfect for a basement space. For example, as seen in picture (1), the little nook under the staircase can be turned into a cozy little private playroom. Or how about building a small fort or tent in the corner of the basement (2) (3). Some fun basement playroom ideas would be, if you have over head beams, a swing can hang down from one (4). Or a simple idea would be to have bean bags laying around (5).

Storage: One thing that you will defiantly want is storage. Cubbies close to the ground for the kids to get to toys and crafts supplies, and ones higher up for display items and things you want to keep out of reach (6) (7) (In The Basement: Storage and Organization Ideas).

The Walls: One fun idea is to have a wall painted in chalkboard paint (8). Other decor ideas include hanging up letters (9) and covering a wall with a map (10).

The Floors: A basement’s floor can be a pretty hard surface, especially if it is concrete with no finishing above it. Rubber, laminate, and cork flooring are some softer flooring options, but a quick and easy way to go about it is to put down some colorful area rugs to cover the playroom floor. 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10
