Introducing a garden playroom to your outdoor space is the perfect way to keep children entertained in the summer months. Whether you’re looking for ideas and inspiration on how best to design a dedicated outdoor play area or an outdoor room with facilities for both adults and kids, this guide will show you what’s possible.

Planning Your Garden Room

When planning your garden room it's important to take into consideration what sort of activities you want your children (and possibly adults) to do in there. Think about the size of the space available and whether it is big enough for equipment and toys, as well as seating areas so everyone can relax together. Consider also how much sunlight falls on that area throughout the day, so that any furniture used won't be too hot during those warmer months!

The next step is deciding upon materials; timber sheeting is usually preferred due to its aesthetics and colour variation, it adds an organic look to your garden – but remember that regular maintenance may be necessary if not treated properly with preservative or sealant products. You could go for composite or maintenance-free alternatives which can be more affordable but don't have the lovely colour variation of the timber - just bear this in mind before making any final decisions!

Garden Playhouse Ideas

A great way of introducing some fun elements into the garden room is by adding a wooden playhouse; these come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from basic models suitable for little ones right up to more elaborate designs complete with balconies and slides - perfect if they're feeling adventurous! Not only will it provide hours of entertainment but also help encourage imaginative role-play games amongst friends too! If budget isn't an issue then why not opt for something extra special as one made out of cedarwood - this type offers maximum protection against weathering while still maintaining its attractive appearance year after year. Alternatively, go down the route less travelled with canvas tents or tipis which offer plenty of portability without compromising on style either...the possibilities really are endless here!

Outdoor Furniture & Accessories For Kids' Playrooms

Once you've got your main structure sorted out now comes the time to select furniture pieces according to their age group/size requirements; think small tables chairs etc., ideal to get them involved during meal times outside whilst at the same time providing somewhere to store away toys afterwards. It might be worth investing in either a swing set or even a trampoline depending amount of space you have available.

Create An Indoor/Outdoor Flow For Versatile Use Of The Space

As previously mentioned having indoor/outdoor flow is a key to success when it comes to creating versatile useable spaces for family members of every age to enjoy spending time together. A good suggestion is to look at bi-folding doors that lead directly onto the patio area where you can lounge around with cosy blankets under the stars. Whatever combination you decide on should ensure a comfortable transition between two different environments allowing ultimate flexibility whatever mood strikes each day!
