How to Set Up a Playroom in a Small UK Home Without a Spare Room

Not every UK home has a room going spare, but children still need somewhere that feels like their own.

We cover the right size for each age, choosing shapes that suit different activities, materials that wear well in busy homes, planning enough chairs for friends and siblings, and how to allow proper space around the table so the area is comfortable to use.
