Home is where the playroom is.
Whether your kids have a corner of the living room or an entire space to call their own, playrooms (in whatever form they take) are a place where kids’ imaginations can roam free. As we approach the holiday season, if you’re looking for a big-ticket item to add to your kids’ space, we have you covered.
Personally, I’ve spent the entire three years of my daughter’s life trying to make her the best playroom possible. I’m constantly rearranging, restructuring, and researching the top items to add. Below are 12 of the best staples to upgrade any play space.
FIGGY PLAY COUCH

Kids can build everything from a rocket ship to a reading nook with six cushions that feature velcro connectors, stain/spill-proof material, and machine-washable fabrics.
