Creating the perfect playroom in Hong Kong can be a challenge, especially with limited space. But with clever storage solutions, space-saving furniture, and fun, functional accessories, you can design a playroom that encourages creativity, learning, and independent play. Whether you have a dedicated room or just a play area in your living space, this guide covers the must-have playroom furniture and accessories available in Hong Kong—from IKEA storage systems to Petit Bazaar soft furnishings—to help you build a stylish and organized play environment your child will love.
A child-sized table is the heart of any playroom. The IKEA FLISAT or LATT tables are ideal for arts and crafts or sensory play, especially when paired with Trofast bins underneath. For a more premium and versatile option, the Stokke MuTable stands out. It features interchangeable playboards for drawing, LEGO, puzzles, and more, making it a long-term investment that grows with your child.
Storage is key in Hong Kong homes. The IKEA TROFAST system is a favorite for good reason: it’s modular, easy to label, and perfect for organizing toys, art supplies, and sensory materials. The KALLAX unit is another win, offering open cube shelving that can be paired with colorful bins or baskets.
For clothes and soft toys, Petit Bazaar carries beautifully designed fabric bins that double as décor. Larger toys or building blocks like LEGO can be stored in stackable LEGO storage boxes, which are fun and functional. Clear plastic bins work well for sensory materials and can slide neatly under tables or onto shelves for easy access.
Encouraging reading is easy with the right display. The Bimbo Casa bookcase makes a stylish and practical statement with its child-friendly height and chic design. For smaller spaces, the Petit Bazaar Montessori-inspired forward-facing book displays are perfect—they let kids see book covers and choose what catches their eye. You can also find similar ones on Etsy here.
Comfort is essential for reading, relaxing, or pretend play. Bimbo Casa offers adorable kid-sized sofas that look great in any room. The KK 3-Fold Sofa from Petit Bazaar is a versatile and cozy must-have. It folds out to 210 cm, making it great for reading, naps, or sleepovers. With built-in back support and two pillows, it’s perfect for lounging—and doubles as a play piece for crawling, climbing, and active fun. Another option is the Nugget couch is a modular sofa that kids can transform into forts, slides, or nap mats. It’s a hit with families and perfect for active play; however, you will have to use a third-party shipper.
A playroom should always include a space for creativity. The IKEA MÅLA easel is a budget-friendly favorite with a chalkboard, whiteboard, and paper roll. For displaying artwork, think beyond the fridge—install a corkboard, clip rail, or rotating frame gallery to proudly showcase your child’s creations. We love these from Etsy, which can be personalized too.
A soft rug defines the play space and adds warmth. Momomi mats are incredibly plush and popular in Hong Kong for their comfort and easy maintenance. Miss Amara offers beautiful, family-friendly designs too. Choose one that’s easy to clean and soft enough for endless floor play.
Imaginative play is a big part of childhood, and having the right setup makes all the difference.
Foldable play tents or fabric playhouses are perfect for creating cozy hideouts or magical forts. They're easy to set up and just as easy to fold away—ideal for Hong Kong apartments. Look for stylish, space-saving options from Petit Bazaar or IKEA.
For little chefs, play kitchens are always a hit. The IKEA DUKTIG kitchen is a classic, minimalist favorite that can be customized with stickers or paint. For something more detailed and charming, Janod offers beautifully crafted wooden kitchens with knobs, shelves, and accessories that spark hours of pretend cooking fun.
These pieces not only encourage creativity but also help children develop social and motor skills through role play.
