What makes us one of a kind Playroom Designers…

  • Children feel secure and are more likely to explore when their environment is well-ordered, aesthetically pleasing, consistent, and predictable. Achieving this can be challenging, but we work with you to set up your play space in ways that promote these qualities by using organisational strategies that include toy rotations, limiting the number of toys and prioritising quality over quantity, to name a few.

  • Ako playrooms design interior play spaces for children that prioritise learning through play. Our play spaces are created with the needs of each family in mind, incorporating both child development and best educational practise. And of course, our own touch of creative flair.

  • We are dedicated to fostering your child's growth and development through our thoughtfully designed playrooms. By collaborating with you and your child, we prioritise what is important to you, taking into consideration your child’s age and current developmental stage. Our play spaces are designed to stand the test of time. We design adaptable spaces that are growing and changing with your family for years to come.

  • The environment in which a child plays is just as important as the adults who support them and the toys they have access to. Their play environment is a crucial component of their learning and development. A well-designed playroom provides opportunities for a child to explore, experiment and interact with their surroundings, while developing physical, emotional, cognitive, and social growth.

  • Our interior design process is grounded in play-based educational theory. Taking a holistic approach to our playroom designs, we ensure that all areas seamlessly interact with one another, creating a cohesive environment that promotes movement, exploration, creativity, learning and FUN!

  • Whether your child is developing typically, has physical limitations, or neurodevelopmental differences, the key to a great playroom is the same;

    Individualisation!

    Our playrooms are designed in consultation with you, to ensure it fits with your family’s wants and needs. They work for your children now, and as they grow!
