My Top Tips for creating a kids’ playroom

I also thought about my girls’ age and interests – ( they were super into disney princesses so I went with the theme )this influenced my choices for furniture, storage, and decor.
I involved my twins in the design process, too. It was essential to create a space that met their needs and reflected their personality. Plus, it was fun to see their ideas and creativity shine through!
