Playroom Shelf Styling

The playroom is the hardest working room in a home, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful and functional. The easiest way to elevate a playroom is tons of decorative storage. I like to keep things easy to access while still looking elevated and easy to manage. Clear glass jars are perfect to organize small toys, craft supplies, and writing tools. I also like to use aesthetic toys to decorate! They are easy to get to for playtime, and look great when they’re put back on the shelf. A win-win! I’ve rounded up some of my favorite organizers, and some toys that your littles will love- and you will love too!

Check out the list below for great styling ideas for your playroom/kids’ room and my DIY hack for cute storage jars!

Looking for some storage jars with gold lids instead of silver? They are difficult to find, and once you do they are likely a lot more expensive. However, you can create your own golden lids with just a little bit of spray paint! This simple and inexpensive hack doesn’t take a lot of time or effort - but can really elevate your storage jars for a more luxurious look without the luxurious price tag!

You can watch the quick video below to see the exact process (and find my favorite spray paint for this project linked below)!
