Service overview

## What playrooms involves and who it is for

### What playrooms is
Playroom joinery is storage and play furniture designed for children: low-level toy storage children can reach, bench seating, shelving, reading nooks, craft tables and built-in play features. Everything is made in our Stratford-upon-Avon workshop with rounded detailing, secure wall fixings and wipe-clean finishes.

### Who it is for
It suits families converting a spare room, dining room or garage into a playroom, and commercial operators, cafés, soft play, nurseries, clinics and family venues, who need a play area that survives heavy public use. Our team built the children's playroom at Hooray's Gelato Kitchen.

### When it is needed
Usually when toys have taken over the living room, when a room changes use as children grow, or when a business is fitting out a family-friendly space. Designing early means fixings, power and any sensory or lighting features can be planned before decoration.

### Why professional joinery matters
Children's furniture has to meet two standards that adult furniture does not: it must be safe to fall against, and it must survive being climbed on. Both come down to construction, edge detailing and how the units are fixed to the structure, decisions made in the workshop, not on the shop floor.

The cost of getting it wrong

## What happens when this is left too long
A playroom that is not designed for children stops being used within months, and the toys move back into the rooms you wanted to reclaim.

### Risks and escalating costs

- Toys spread back into living and dining rooms because storage is out of reach.
- Tall, unfixed furniture is a tipping hazard around climbing children.
- Sharp corners and hard edges at head height cause avoidable injuries.
- Absorbent finishes stain permanently from paint, felt tips and drinks.
- In commercial settings, furniture that fails inspection or wears out fast costs far more than it saved.

### Common mistakes we are called in to fix

- Buying adult shelving and expecting children to keep it tidy, if they cannot reach it, they will not use it.
- Storing toys in deep boxes where everything ends up emptied on the floor to find one item.
- Leaving units freestanding rather than fixing them to the wall.
- Choosing a delicate finish for a room designed around craft, food and mess.
- Designing for the age children are now rather than the age they will be in three years.

Our process

## Five stages from first visit to finished joinery

- Step 1

### Free consultation and survey
We measure the room and discuss ages, use, supervision sightlines and what needs storing.

- Step 2

### Design and itemised quotation
Layout, heights, edge detailing and finishes agreed before pricing. Quotations are free and itemised.

- Step 3

### Workshop manufacture
Units are made with rounded, child-safe detailing and hard-wearing finishes in our own workshop.

- Step 4

### Installation and secure fixing
Everything is installed and mechanically fixed to the structure, with any lighting wired by our in-house electrician.

- Step 5

### Check and hand over
Fixings checked, edges inspected, the space cleaned and handed over ready to use.

What you get

## The difference made-to-measure joinery actually delivers

### Children can tidy up
Low, open, labelled storage at child height is what makes tidying possible without an adult.

### Safe by construction
Rounded edges, no trap points and units mechanically fixed to the wall.

### Survives real use
Robust materials chosen for climbing, banging and daily wear.

### Wipe-clean throughout
Finishes that cope with paint, glue, felt tips and spilled drinks.

### Grows with the room
Adjustable shelving and flexible zones so the space still works as children get older.

### Commercial-grade when needed
Public-facing spaces built to a commercial standard, as at Hooray's Gelato Kitchen.

- Soft edges and secured, wall-fixed units
- Toy storage children can actually reach and use
- Wipe-clean, hard-wearing finishes
- Commercial-grade build where the space is public-facing

In detail

## Materials, methods and variations
Our team built the children's playroom at Hooray's Gelato Kitchen, a commercial project completed to the same standard as our domestic work.

Design consultations and quotations are free. There is no fixed price list, every project is priced individually because every project is made to measure. A deposit of 30–50% is taken depending on the size of the work.

### Materials and safety detailing
Playroom joinery is built from robust sheet materials and solid timber, with edges eased or fully rounded wherever a child can make contact. Finishes are chosen to be washable and to withstand repeated cleaning, since craft materials and food are part of daily life in these rooms.

Every tall or heavy unit is mechanically fixed to the structure, not simply stood against the wall. Gaps between units and walls are closed to remove trap points, and any lids or opening components are specified with safe-closing hardware so fingers are protected.

### Methods and layout
Storage is planned by reach. Items children use independently go low and open; items that need supervision go high and closed. Open shelving with removable boxes almost always beats deep cupboards, because children can see what is inside and return it without help.

We also plan sightlines: in a home, a parent should be able to see into the room; in a commercial space, staff need clear supervision lines across the whole play area. Layout is set out so play zones do not block circulation or exits.

### Variations of the service
Home playrooms with toy storage, book display, craft tables and bench seating. Reading nooks and window seats. Built-in play features: counters, stages, dens and climbing-adjacent joinery where appropriate. Playroom-and-study combinations for households with a wide age range. Commercial play areas for cafés, nurseries and family venues, built to public-use durability.

### Situations this applies to
Spare bedrooms and dining rooms across Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and Leamington Spa reclaimed as playrooms. Garage and loft conversions in Solihull, Worcester and Bromsgrove. Family cafés and venues in the wider Warwickshire and Worcestershire area needing a play area that will not look tired in a year.

### Residential and commercial differences
Domestic playrooms prioritise reach, tidying and finish matching the rest of the house. Commercial playrooms prioritise durability, cleaning regimes, supervision sightlines and documentation. For commercial work we provide the accreditation and insurance principal contractors and venue operators ask for: SMAS, CHAS, Safecontractor, DBS-checked team, £10 million public liability and £5 million employer's liability cover.
