Zones Before Zoning Out
What's the first thing we think about when we design a playroom?
It's not where the furniture goes or what paint color will make the room pop.
The first thing we consider is what’s going to happen in each part of the space.
A dress-up corner isn’t just a dress-up corner. It’s a little theater waiting for its next show.
A building zone isn’t just a mat on the floor. It’s a construction site in the making.
And for each of those experiences, the right storage can be the difference between endless play and instant chaos.
That’s why we’re big believers in creating distinct zones, each with its own storage system tailored to the type of play that will unfold there.
It’s not one-size-fits-all. Costumes need hooks and mirrors. Legos need shallow, divided drawers. Art supplies need open bins that invite grabbing and creating.
By matching the storage to the play, we make sure everything has a place, and that place makes sense to the child using it.
When each zone has a dedicated storage system, cleanup isn’t a mystery; it’s simply putting things back where they belong.
And because the setup was intentional from the start, the room stays functional and inspiring over time, instead of becoming a jumble of unrelated stuff.
At Greenwich Play, we don’t just design spaces that look good on day one. We create play zones and the custom storage to match, so the playroom actually works for your children, your home, and your sanity for years to come.
