Final Playroom

Harini Chandrasekar

A little while ago, I had shared the progress of a small playroom project I was working on. Now that it is complete, below are some pictures of the final space and details. Enjoy!

As a result of the black areas being chalkboard, the walls provide an empty canvas for a child's creative inputs and imagination.

The clouds, being magnetic serve as pin-up zones for posters, artworks and homework etc. The graphics include roads and trucks as well as the magic of castles and fairy tales.

To keep it fun, created a template whereby the family could add their own personal stories, travels, touches through stickers and personalize the entire room over time.

Project Playroom.

What was once a 9 year old boy's hideout clad in a Spiderman theme (explains why the room was orange and blue to begin with, doesn't it?:), has now been transformed into a neutral, interactive and fun playroom. The black hills are made of chalkboard/ blackboard paint and all the clouds (and a couple of mountains) are magnetic and serve as ready spaces for artwork, pictures and other essential toddler trinkets to be displayed. The room is still a work in progress and I'll be sure to post the final effect once this project is fully wrapped up.

A timeline of the process offers a glimpse into how it all began and where it has reached thus far.
