Walk in closet of toys
With shelves not too deep and not to shallow

Hate my walk in closet. It gets way way messier then when we had the other kind.

Depends on how much room you have.

I like a storage closet that can be locked to keep littles from dumping out all the toys at once -
although I do allow a few sets at a time as they are used together.

A child sized table and chairs or picnic table is nice if you have room - for kids to color and
build out of reach of baby.

A couch is nice if you have room.

A Big bulletin board for displaying art.

A big white board on the wall for drawing.

These are all great!
I would add
- shallow shelves somewhere for books, but not low down that a baby can pull them all off the shelves
- some sort of seating for older child/adult if a couch isn't possible
- large open area for building and playing

I put a nice cushy chair in my kids’ play area for moi. I didn’t spend a lot. I looked at dorm furniture at Target that is marketed for college kids. Bright, cheerful, cheap.
