After working together on a project, former teacher Karri Bowen - Poole and designer Denise Davies realized they had a unique set of skills - and combined their expertise to create Smart D2 Playrooms (now Project Playroom). "It is vital to create a designated space to work or study from home," says Denise Davies. "Get the kids out of the bedroom if you can!". Key elements include a solid work surface area, closed storage, and some pops of color. A few more of their great ideas:

1. An inviting area for painting, arts, crafts, puzzles and games.
2. Floor space for building and paling with blocks, Legos, animals, people and vehicles.
3. Comfortable, age-appropriate seating
4. An area to play pretend, with dress-up clothes, a kitchen set, baby dolls, pretend food, and other open-ended toys.
5. An active zone with either a swing, rope, climbing wall or monkey bar
6. A performance are with instruments and/or a stage space.
