Create a stylish play corner where your children can fully enjoy themselves, while you keep an eye on things, without compromising your interior. Fun guaranteed!  ## **What is the best place for a play corner? ** Let’s get straight to the point: you don’t need an extra room to create a fun play corner. Whether your [living room](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/interior-couleur/6-cosy-living-room-ideas?hsLang=en) is large or small, with a few smart ideas you can design a practical and cosy play area anywhere. Do you have some space behind the sofa? Perfect. Create a snug little corner that stays out of sight when you’re watching TV or entertaining guests, while still allowing you to hear the children playing. As they grow older, you can easily replace the play corner with a stylish piece of furniture. The space under the stairs is also ideal as a play area or practical storage solution—a cosy nook where your child can retreat and play in peace. Have more space available? Place the play corner between the kitchen and living room, using a low cabinet for extra storage. If space is limited, a wide wall shelf or even a windowsill can, with a bit of creativity, become the perfect play spot. - [![Laminate - Ocean 8 - Crush Brown Natural](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/crush%20brown%20natural_lam_v4_1288x190_berryalloc_rsh_08.jpg?width=5464&height=8192&name=crush%20brown%20natural_lam_v4_1288x190_berryalloc_rsh_08.jpg) Laminate - Ocean 8 - Crush Brown Natural](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/ocean-plus/62003062) - [![Laminate - Ocean 8 - Ragnar Warm Natural](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ragnar%20warm%20natural_lam_v4_1288x190_berryalloc_rsh_03-2.jpg?width=1334&height=2000&name=ragnar%20warm%20natural_lam_v4_1288x190_berryalloc_rsh_03-2.jpg) Laminate - Ocean 8 - Ragnar Warm Natural](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/ocean-plus/62003088) - [![Laminate - Ocean 8 - Teak Brown](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/teak%20brown_lam_v4_1288x190_berryalloc_rsh_03.jpg?width=2000&height=1574&name=teak%20brown_lam_v4_1288x190_berryalloc_rsh_03.jpg) Laminate - Ocean 8V4 - Teak Brown](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/ocean-plus/62003094) ## **How do I design my play corner? ** A play corner doesn’t have to clash with your interior. Nowadays, there are plenty of stylish furniture pieces in soft tones that blend perfectly with your décor. **Multifunctional furniture**, such as tables with drawers, is highly recommended—ideal for quickly tidying away toys and keeping your space organised. Add a touch of style with beautiful wicker baskets or a vintage toy chest to elevate the look of your play area. You can also define the play corner by incorporating the walls. Choose a calm colour palette that complements the rest of your interior and paint a square, rectangle or large circle on the wall to frame the space. Fun prints or artwork can also help set the right mood. Finish it off with a cosy rug and voilà—you have a comfortable, well-defined and inviting play corner. Want to make it extra special? Add a teepee tent, a dollhouse or even a play kitchen. ## **Which materials work best for a play corner? ** Has your little one spilled something again? Save yourself the hassle and choose materials that can handle everyday wear and tear. Opt for washable paint and a **low-maintenance floor**, such as a [high pressure floor](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/high-pressure-floors). This type of flooring is 100% water-resistant, highly scratch-resistant and available in a wide range of stylish designs. That way, your living room stays looking great, while your children can play freely—and you can enjoy a tidy, stress-free space. For very intensive use, high pressure floors are a reliable choice. - [![Laminate - Ocean 8 - Crush Brown Natural](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/crush%20brown%20natural_lam_v4_1288x190_berryalloc_rsh_1-2.jpg?width=2000&height=1334&name=crush%20brown%20natural_lam_v4_1288x190_berryalloc_rsh_1-2.jpg) Laminate - Ocean 8 - Crush Brown Natural](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/ocean-plus/62003062) - [![Laminate - Ocean 8 - Select Light Brown](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/select%20light%20brown_lam_v4_2038x241_berryalloc_rsh_3.jpg?width=5457&height=8192&name=select%20light%20brown_lam_v4_2038x241_berryalloc_rsh_3.jpg) Laminate - Ocean 8 - Select Light Brown](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/ocean-plus/62003120) - [![Laminate - Ocean 8 - Ragnar Warm Natural](https://myfloorstyle.berryalloc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ragnar%20warm%20natural_lam_v4_1288x190_berryalloc_rsh_4.jpg?width=8192&height=5464&name=ragnar%20warm%20natural_lam_v4_1288x190_berryalloc_rsh_4.jpg) Laminate - Ocean 8 - Ragnar Warm Natural](https://www.berryalloc.com/en/products/ocean-plus/62003088) Prefer not to have children running around on a creaking floor?
