Creating a rec room for your home can feel like designing a mini community center. It is the zone where block towers topple, dance parties break out, and late-night board games turn into belly laughs. The best spaces are not Pinterest-perfect. They are flexible, easy to clean, and designed with real life in mind.

This guide walks you through what to consider first, a simple build-out plan you can complete in a weekend, and age-based updates so your rec room grows along with your child. You will also find renter-friendly tips, storage hacks, and wording to set kind boundaries that keep the space running smoothly.


What to know first about a rec room

recreational room for kids
Make It For Your Child And Update It As They Grow

Clarify the purpose. Pick the top two jobs the room needs to do today. For example: active play and creative projects, or homework and hanging out. Let every decision ladder up to those jobs.

Zone your rec room. Even in a small area, create clear zones: a movement zone, a quiet zone, and a mess-friendly zone. Use rugs to define spaces, light each zone separately, and put the loudest activity farthest from bedrooms.

Think safety and durability.

  • Anchor tall furniture to the wall. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Anchor It! campaign, securing dressers, TVs, and shelving to the wall has proven to be a key factor in preventing dangerous furniture tip-overs in homes with kids.
  • Choose washable slipcovers, indoor-outdoor rugs, and wipeable paint.
  • Keep small items in lidded bins up high when younger siblings are around.
  • Use cord covers or cordless window shades and outlet covers as needed.
  • Add soft landings: floor cushions, foam tiles, or a thick rug pad.

Plan storage like a teacher. Open shelves for everyday items, closed bins for sets and small parts, and a labeled “library cart” for rotating toys. Aim for containers that your child can lift and put away.

Design for many bodies. Choose seating that works for different ages and abilities: a supportive chair, a low table, floor cushions, a beanbag with back support. Keep pathways clear for mobility devices and strollers.

Keep sound in check. Soft textiles, curtains, cork boards, and rug pads help reduce noise. If you share walls, consider peel-and-stick acoustic panels in the movement zone.


Step-by-step plan you can do this weekend for a rec room

HGTV offers several key standards to consider when creating a safe and comfortable new space for your child, so keep them in mind, too, as you think about how you’ll transform the space. Below are some other essential considerations.

Day 1: Clear, measure, and map

  1. Empty the room and take quick measurements.
  2. Sketch a simple layout with three zones: Move, Make, and Mellow.
  3. Mark outlets, glare from windows, and door swings so you do not block them.
  4. Decide where the storage will live. Plan one central shelf plus a rolling cart.

Day 2: Build the bones

  1. Paint one wall or add peel-and-stick wallpaper for a fun focal point.
  2. Lay a washable rug in the Mellow zone and interlocking foam tiles in the Move zone.
  3. Assemble one sturdy shelf. Add lidded bins for small parts and open baskets for plush and balls.
  4. Mount a cork or magnetic board at kid height to display creations and schedules.
  5. Add layered lighting: a bright overhead, a task lamp for the Make zone, and a warm lamp for Mellow.

Day 3: Stock and label

  1. Sort toys by type and size. Keep out only what fits on the shelf or cart.
  2. Label bins with words and pictures. Kids tidy faster when they know where things live.
  3. Add a compact speaker for music, a timer for transitions, and a basket for library books.
  4. Hang a simple “house rules” sign using the scripts below.

Age-by-age setups that actually work in a rec roomplay room for kids

Ages 2–5: Play-forward and safe

  • Move: Foam tiles, a mini trampoline with a handle, balance stones, or a collapsible tunnel.
  • Make: Low art table with washable markers, stamp pads, and a roll of paper. Keep paint in a caddy you can lift out as needed.
  • Mellow: Floor pillows, picture books, a soft lamp, and a basket for sensory tools like putty or pop tubes.
  • Storage: Clear bins with large photo labels. Rotate toys every few weeks to keep the novelty high.
  • Refresh idea: Swap the tunnel for a wobble board and add a small costume rack for dress-up.

Ages 6–9: Build skills and friendships

  • Move: Doorway pull-up bar or yoga mats for cartwheels and stretches.
  • Make: Craft drawers for beads, origami paper, and cardboard engineering supplies.
  • Mellow: Cozy reading corner plus a small table for card games and puzzles.
  • Tech: If you introduce screens here, use a dedicated media cabinet with cable management and a visible charging station. Keep devices in shared sightlines.
  • Refresh idea: Add a pegboard for supplies and a whiteboard for keeping score or brainstorming.

Ages 10–13: Identity and independence

  • Move: Compact training gear, such as resistance bands or a foldable exercise bench.
  • Make: Upgrade to a larger desk and task chair. Add a locking bin for collections.
  • Mellow: Sectional or loveseat, adjustable lamp, and a snack caddy for movie nights.
  • Belonging: Invite your tween to choose accent colors or a poster wall. Give ownership over one shelf to display creations and fandoms.
  • Refresh idea: Add dimmable lighting and a small fridge if it fits your family’s rules.

Ages 14–18: Hangout central for your new rec room

  • Move: Free weights with a floor mat and clear safety rules. If space is tight, opt for jump ropes and stretch bands.
  • Create: Music corner with a keyboard stand or instrument rack. If they edit videos, provide a monitor riser and a ring light that stores away.
  • Mellow: Bigger seating, side tables for drinks, stackable stools for guests.
  • Boundaries: Post quiet hours and device use expectations. Keep shared snacks visible and a bin for guest blankets.
  • Refresh idea: If college or work is coming, add a cork strip for deadlines, a file box for documents, and a donation bin for outgrown items.

Real-life tweaks when things get messy

If the room explodes daily: Reduce what is out by half. Store extras in a closet and rotate. Add a five-minute “reset” song at the end of use.

If siblings clash: Give each child one protected shelf or bin. Create side-by-side stations rather than shared ones for high-demand activities.

If noise is an issue: Layer textiles, close gaps under doors with draft stoppers, and place bookshelves on shared walls.

If you rent: Choose peel-and-stick everything, free-standing shelves, and tension rods for curtains or privacy dividers. Save the original hardware in a labeled bag.

Sensory needs front and center: Offer options. A rocking chair, a fidget basket, noise-reducing headphones, and soft lighting let kids self-regulate.

Screens don’t have to creep in everywhere: Define where screens live and when they are used—store remotes in a charging basket that stays in the room.


Simple house rules you can post

  • “We reset the room before we leave it.”
  • “Big body play stays on the foam tiles.”
  • “Art supplies ask for a table and a mat.”
  • “Food needs a tray and a drink lid.”
  • “If it breaks or spills, we tell a grown-up. We solve it together.”

Scripts that build ownership

  • “Show me where this belongs so you can find it next time.”
  • “You get to choose the next song while we clean for five minutes.”
  • “Want help getting started, or do you want to try first?”

A refresh plan you can set on repeat

Every 3 months

  • Walk the room with your child. Ask what they love, what feels cramped, and what they wish they had.
  • Donate or store outgrown items. Move one thing in and one thing out.

Every 6 months

  • Swap art, update labels, and wash soft goods.
  • Adjust seating height and desk ergonomics as your child grows.

Each birthday

  • Add a new anchor item that aligns with their next stage. For example, a dress-up rack becomes a pegboard, the toy kitchen becomes a snack station, and the train table becomes a gaming table.

When to call a pro

  • You plan built-ins, electrical work, or heavy wall-mounting.
  • You need help optimizing for neurodivergent needs or complex sensory profiles.
  • You want guidance on teen-friendly layouts that maximize ventilation and ensure equipment safety.

A short consult can save money by preventing rework and choosing durable, right-size pieces the first time.


Quick shopping checklist

  • Washable rug + rug pad
  • Interlocking foam tiles
  • Sturdy shelf, anchored
  • Labeled bins and a rolling cart
  • Floor cushions or beanbags with back support
  • Low table with wipeable surface
  • Cork or magnetic board
  • Task lamp, warm lamp, bright overhead bulbs
  • Timer, small speaker, and a cable box or cord sleeves
  • Door draft stopper or peel-and-stick acoustic panels
  • Cleaning caddy with microfiber cloths and a handheld vacuum

The big picture

A rec room is not about square footage or fancy gear. It is about creating a place where your child can play hard, rest deeply, and feel at home in their growing body and changing interests. Start small, design for today, and expect the space to evolve. When you invite your child into the process, the room becomes more than a room. It becomes a shared project that grows your connection, one weekend refresh at a time.

My Organized Closet with Containers http://livelaughlovedo.com/my-organized-closet-with-containers-for-family-photos-mementos-and-more__trashed/ Wed, 19 Nov 2025 04:27:56 +0000 http://livelaughlovedo.com/2025/05/27/my-organized-closet-with-containers-for-family-photos-mementos-and-more/ [ad_1]

Operation: A Place for Everything (and Everything in Its Place)

My organizing mission continues! This closet makeover is still in progress so no pretty pictures, but I thought I’d show you what I’ve been working on behind the scenes.

The Closet That Drove Me Nuts

(can you blame me?)

This closet in the Snug was one of those closets.

The “we just moved in” (…almost four years ago 😂) so let’s just stuff it in here for now kind of closet.

It became the delayed decision zone—overflowing with the things I wasn’t quite sure what to do with. Family photos, mementos, files, extra pillow covers… all important, all without a clear home.

At one point it was filled with fluffy pillows, and they would all come tumbling out when I opened the door. I don’t think I took a photo of that.

Guest Bed Details

Why We Chose a Compact Home

We live in what I call a compact home, by choice. It has smaller rooms, a smaller lot, a one car garage, no storage shed, no basement and smallish closets. After years of having more space—extra garages, basements, closets, outbuildings—I realized “extra storage space” just made it too easy to collect too much stuff.

And for someone like me (a person who likes to decorate, can be sentimental, and a recovering procrastinator 😏), fewer storage options actually “forces me” to stay on top of things. Otherwise clutter is multiplying “out of sight, out of mind” (or taunting me every time I open the door).

White photo boxes (similar) // Blue stackable bins // Navy linen file boxes // Wall-mounted essential oil organizer // Blue magazine holders

That said, even after years of decluttering and downsizing, I’m still learning important truths, such as:

Small spaces obviously need fewer things—but they also need better systems.

When we had a 5,000 square foot house, we didn’t actually need many systems. People always say a bigger house is harder to keep clean, but it is far easier to stash stuff where no one has to see it.

We had a lot of storage in that house so you could toss in just about anything to “deal with later” and forget you even owned it. Until it was time for us to move. Same situation happened at the next house. It was a smaller home but 1,000 square feet of storage under the house. I had no idea we still had canoes under the house until the day we were trying to load the Uhaul.

By the way, you can read more of my misadventures and solutions found through all of my homes in my books Love the Home You Have and Make Room for What You Love — maybe you’ll relate or just get a good laugh at my struggles ha!

On a related note, I have no idea why I still have this album. I mean, I did like Donny and Marie and had a lot of their albums, but this would not be the one I would choose to keep. Yet here it is.

And why have I moved about 13 times with this album? I have a lot of questions. Ha! Happily, these random finds are becoming more rare. I still have too much stuff, but I’m making steady progress. Let me show you what I’ve been working on!

Wall-mounted essential oil organizer

The Closet Problem (and My Simple Solution)

This closet in the snug, under the eaves, is actually one of the biggest we have, so I knew it had potential. But without stackable bins or a usable structure, it wasn’t going to work for what I needed.

We didn’t need to keep everything, so I started—as a necessity—with a ruthless edit. I’ve come a long way when it comes to letting go, and having limited space definitely helps me be more decisive.

Once the clutter was pared down, I got to the fun part: organizing.

What I Used:

  • White photo boxes (similar): These hold all our loose photos until we can scan, frame, or sort them.
  • Blue stackable bins: These are soft-sided but sturdy with handles and spots for labels. Some are file boxes, some are just open bins. I’m not sure how these ended up being two shades of blue (I ordered one set a bit later) but that’s okay. It doesn’t have to be perfect to feel organized.
  • Navy linen file boxes: These are really sturdy, well-built, and a great size. They come with metal rails to hold files!
  • Blue magazine holders
  • Wall-mounted essential oil organizer: I added two of these wall shelves months ago and love how they maximize vertical space without cluttering the closet. I definitely need to pare down my oils, but I love all of them. Ha! I still need to tidy those shelves up, though. Baby steps! Side note, this closet smells LIKE A DREAM! I get my oils here.

Everything I needed now stacks neatly into the closet, and there’s still enough floor space to walk in and out comfortably. YAY!

It’s just what I wanted. An easy fix. No need to install shelves or find furniture. No permanent installations. Just a fast and functional solution that works for us now, and is flexible for the future, too.

And most importantly? I can open the door without anxiety. I keep opening the door just to remind myself of how far I’ve come!

  • Buy bins in larger sets if you know you’ll use them—it’s more affordable.
  • Look for bins with handles and label slots for easy future organizing.
  • Don’t buy containers for clutter. Declutter before you organize.
  • Simple solutions can make a big impact—especially in small spaces.

Voila! This little system saved the day…and my sanity.

One more thing….

Stay tuned for my next installment of A Place for Everything and Everything in Its Place—you won’t even believe this one! I came up with a clever idea for the closet door that solved a whole different organizing dilemma. It was a tricky one! I can’t wait to show you.

Keeping your house nice and tidy is all about putting everything in its proper place. Not only does this clear the unsightly clutter, but it also makes your home easier to navigate. For many people, however, there isn’t enough closet or cabinet space to store all the objects that need to be tucked away. In these cases, finding unique storage solutions is your best option to streamline your surroundings.

The Youpins Stackable Storage Bins offer ample storage space while having the appearance of a chic furniture piece. Best of all, this multipurpose organizer, which normally retails for $100, is currently on clearance at Walmart. This sale brings the price for these three stacking containers to only $60, which is just $20 per bin.

Why do shoppers love it?

One of our favorite things about these stackable bins is the versatility. The three containers can be used individually in different areas of the home or stacked on top of each other as a storage tower. Making the piece even more portable, each bin has built-in handles, and when stacked, they can be placed on the included wheeled base. On top of that, when not in use, the bins can be folded flat thanks to the space-saving collapsible design.

You’ll get plenty of functional storage space when filling these containers. Each bin measures 21.6 inches long, 12.2 inches wide, and 11.8 inches high, which is spacious enough to store toiletries, off-season clothing, pantry items, holiday decorations, school books, and more. The three stacked bins are even durable enough to hold a combined weight of up to 190 pounds, so you don’t have to worry about packing the containers too full.

The thoughtful and modern design of this home storage piece really sets it apart from regular cabinets or Rubbermaid-style containers. Each bin opens from the front and the top to easily access the contents. They also feature textured window panels for an upscale look that obscures the inner contents for a more aesthetically pleasing and clean finish. However, these semi-transparent frames don’t completely block your view, so you’ll be able to determine what’s inside based on the color and size of the object you need to find.

Details to know

  • Dimensions: The individual bin measures 21.6 inches long, 12.2 inches wide, and 11.8 inches high. When stacked, the three bins have a combined height of 39.6 inches.
  • Is assembly required?: Yes. Assembly is simple since you’re clicking into place the collapsible sides of the containers.
  • Do the doors lock?: The doors do not lock, but they stay securely shut with a magnetic closure.

Reviewers who have purchased these handy containers have positive things to say about them. “They are so classy,” wrote one shopper. On top of the looks, they also appreciated the design, adding, “I love that they open in the front with French doors, so it makes it so easy to access the contents.”

Another reviewer raved, “I love the versatile storage!” They highlight its many possible uses, from yarn and toy storage to a spot for kids’ clothes and office supplies. No matter what you put inside, “everything is put neatly away.”
