Playroom Decorating Tips

As an adult when you enter a store so crowded and full of items, don't you feel overwhelmed?

Just imagine what it's like for a child entering a room full of colors and toys - can you imagine how overstimulating and confusing it is? The world is already so full of bright colors and stuff, and as a child, they can be easily overwhelmed by additional sensory stimuli. When life is so chaotic and challenging enough, why not make things simpler?

I recommend looking for items for your room that don't necessarily have too many bright colors. You can use silk scarfs to add color when needed. I like the ones from Sarah’s Silks (use code DRORGANICMOMMY) that you can use to dress up a child, or even to cover a basket of toys that you don't want out. They are great for puppet making, peek-a-boo, or all kinds of games on the go. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you feel your room is too colorful, then you can even cover up playmats with a white sheet. Going to list out and link some of my favorite play area items. Let me know it the comments if you have any questions:
