Playroom design in Dallas, Highland Park & University Park
We design custom playrooms for families across Dallas: a kids-only destination built for climbing, crashing, making and imagining, and a playdate haven that brings a little more calm to the rest of the house.
A local playroom design studio for playrooms that actually get played in
Wild Child Playroom Design is a Dallas-based studio, and most of our full-service work happens within a short drive of home. That means in-person design meetings, we come to you to measure, and Wild Child’s team on site during your playroom installation. We design with child development in mind, so every zone has a purpose: somewhere to climb, somewhere to crash, somewhere to create and somewhere to wind down. In Texas we work with families in Highland Park, University Park, Preston Hollow, Bluffview, Devonshire and Greenway Parks.
What we design
Game room playrooms
Evolving a game room into the room everyone wants to be in, with soft flooring, lighting and storage planned in from the start.
Sensory & Calm Down Spaces
Quieter corners with swings, soft seating and gentler lighting, for kids who need a place to regulate.
Bonus room & attic playrooms
Awkward ceilings and odd corners become reading nooks, loft platforms and built-in play.
Homework & Home School Rooms
Play and learning in one room, with work surfaces that grow with your kids.
Indoor Climbing Walls
Custom climbing walls and panels, planned for your wall construction, ceiling height and kids' ages.
Shared Sibling Playrooms
Zones that work for a toddler and a ten-year-old at the same time, without constant negotiation.
Our Texas Playrooms
Highland Park, TX
This HighLand Park family wanted to add an active play area to their above the garage bonus room. The family has two boys who love climbing and being active. We created two different climbing zones and even added a lofted net nook above the stairs! We had to include a basketball hoop and swings. This is the render, stay tuned for photos soon!
Manvel, TX
We designed this playroom for a family with four kids. They wanted to convert a large space with lots of potential into a safe playroom for the kids ranging in age from a baby to tweens. We created zones that worked for the older girls who love sports and created a lofted climbing area just for them. For the younger kids we sourced toddler swings and soft play to help them learn and grow. We made sure to include an arts area and storage. This is the rendering of the space, we’ll update with the actual photos soon!
