Toy corner inspo needed

lol, I remember toy corner with our first. Then our second came along and we had to buy a bigger house with a whole damn playroom 🤣 at least you got the bigger house first!

We have these which are pretty useful

our old house we had to put his toys on the fire place because we just didn’t have the room for them 😅

I think we’ve fallen very lucky with buying this home saw it on the market at the right time, there was 4 other people booked in to view after us and 1 person before us who failed the affordability checks.
We’ve been in the trap of renting for years and we said our New Year’s resolution would be to atleast be in the process of buying our forever home by the end of the year .. little did we know we’d see a house 3 weeks into the year and fall in love 😅 then have the keys just 8 weeks after reserving it!

We were only planning on getting a 3 bed like the houses across the road from us which are a lot smaller but soon as we saw this house we knew it was the one . Its a 4 bed but the chance of us being able to have another child is basically non existent Milo was a miracle so really we could have a play room but don’t like the idea of being upstairs all the time.

I’ve actually look at something very similar to that for Milo’s room .
His rooms so big! His old room that rug filled the floor and under his bed but we could fit multiple in this room 🤣

Ignore the fact it’s half painted I’m having a mare painting with him around!

Aw congrats! I’m happy it worked out for you! Love the colour you chose for his room! It was meant to be ❤️ hope you’re settling in well.

Our house has room for the playroom downstairs, but Niko’s room is a box room which is a shame. When he’s bigger we’ll have to see what we can do about an extension or moving a wall somewhere or he’ll get a complex that his sister has the biggest room!

we originally was only going to paint 1-2 walls we thought the colour was to ‘in ur face’ but after it dried we just said f*ck it so obviously we didn’t have enough paint 🤦🏼‍♀️ it’s taken me 6 days to get this far because I’m having to do it bit by bit around it drying in time for Milo sleeping luckily the house seems to always been above 20 so it drys really fast!

You’ll be surprised, growing up myself and my older sister had the bigger room and my two brothers had the box room and when I say box I mean its TINY and not once have they mentioned it they just moan about it being decorated because they’re 13 & 16 but it’s a little on the childish side still, my older sister is currently in the process of moving out (she’s 27 🤣🫣) so my youngest sister (9) will have the big room to herself very soon. Don’t think they care about room size or sharing it’s just the decoration

Rotate his toys instead of having it all out at once :)

with the space we have we don’t need to rotate toys 😅 he have upstairs toys and downstairs toys pretty much split 50/50 but he never plays with the same thing every day . One day he’ll only be interested in his teletubbies and the next will be his cars so I personally don’t like the idea of rotating as it takes his wider choice away from him .

In his room he had a cube like system with toys in each hole then a box for teddies and a box for balls (he’s got a basket ball net in his room)


Downstairs currently he has an overflowing toy box , table , easel and a couple boxes of building toys . All of which I’m thinking of getting a trofast or 2 to neaten up abit .

We’re just not used to the space at our old house everything was cramped together literally on the fireplace but here we can actually plan and organise which I’m finding hard to get used to even a month later 😅

5 weeks in and only sorted one room 🤣 half way through the second room but we keep changing our minds!

Rotating isn't about space. It's about optimising the toys that are there and reducing overwhelm. There's much more to it, but it sounds like you're not interested. So fair enough. I'm sure you'll find a solution
