WHEN BRIGHT IS RIGHT

In a farmhouse in Delhi's Chattarpur lies a wonderful room designed for a growing child. "The space includes two baby-friendly rooms. The playroom has a soft, colourful foam mat, a fenced play area with bright-coloured panels, a small table with chairs, a mini-tent, and ride-on toys," says Rishabh Kapoor, co-founder and interior designer, Design Deconstruct. The bedroom also has several baby-friendly features. "A low platform bed, playful and child-friendly decor, wall murals featuring animals on bicycles and balloons, vibrant hues and ample storage make up this space," says Monica Chadha, co-founder and interior designer, Design Deconstruct.

"By using non-toxic materials, rounded edges, and a variety of textures and colours, you create an environment that is not only safe but also engaging and conducive to a child's growth and development."

STAY CONNECTED

Located in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, within a spacious residential apartment, Rashi Bothra and Ruchi Gehani, interior designers and co-founders Azure Interiors, created interconnected 400 sq ft (approx) kids' bedroom and playroom. "We have used a soft pastel colour palette and cloud-themed wallpaper that adds a playful yet serene touch," shares Bothra. While a cosy bay window serves as a display area for the child's toys, a small tent creates a whimsical element, and ample storage keeps things organised. "To enhance comfort, we laid down a plush fur carpet, providing a soft surface for the child to play on," adds Gehani.
