Pia’s tips for creating a more playful home
1. Change your flooring. We fell in love with the rubber flooring you can see throughout our home as it reminded us of an indoor playroom. You don’t have to be afraid about it getting wet or messy because it’s so easy to clean. When a change of flooring isn’t an option, add a colourful rug or runner to lift the space.
2. Use the wall for a hall of fame."Kids love to see their drawings on the wall and it can be inspiring for you, too. Displaying Yngvar’s framed football shirts is also something personal to us," says Pia.
3. Find ways to embrace new technology. Yes, it’s changing the way we play, but as long as there’s a balance between screen time and being outdoors, then it can be positive. The kids dress up and film their own movies on the iPad, and we all play computer games together on the big TV screen in the playroom."
