Luxury playroom design · Bethesda, Maryland
The Playroom Atelier designs, organizes and seasonally styles children's playrooms for Bethesda-area families. We build little worlds with a pastry-pink play kitchen, a farm ready for morning chores and a reading nook under twinkle lights, so your child walks in and knows exactly where to begin.
Serving Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Potomac & Northwest DC
What we do
Book one service or let us handle the whole room, from the first sketch to the final hair bow on the shelf.
A complete design plan built around your child: layout, palette, furniture, lighting, rugs, wall treatments and art. We source, order, install and style, so the room is finished the day we leave.
We sort every toy, edit what's outgrown, and give each piece a labeled home that a three-year-old can tidy on her own. We add a toy-rotation plan so the room stays fresh without buying more.
Styled play stations that set the scene for open-ended, imaginative play: a kitchen, a farm, a market, an art studio or a reading nook, each arranged at child height with everything she needs within reach.
We dress the playroom for the season. Christmas garland and stockings on the play kitchen, a pumpkin patch at the farm stand, Valentine's tea parties, then we pack it all away when the season ends.
Invitations to play
An invitation to play is a small scene, set up and ready. Tea is poured, the hens need feeding, the paints are out. Children play longer and more imaginatively when the first step is already taken for them.
Bakery cases, tea sets and a pantry of pretend treats.
A barn, animals, a felt pond and a sensory field to plow.
A paper roll, paint pots and supplies at her height.
A canopy, soft cushions, warm lights and front-facing books.
A grocery stand with crates of pretend produce and a till.
Our signature
Pink rooms are what we love most. Ballet-slipper walls, rose-printed rugs, bows, butterflies, scalloped edges and a little gold sparkle, designed to grow with her from toddler to tween.
Holiday playroom styling
Garland over the play stove, stockings for every doll, a tree she's allowed to decorate herself. We install the magic and come back in January to pack it away neatly for next year.
Pricing
We'll talk through the size of your space, what's in it now and what you're dreaming of, then give you a clear quote for your project. No surprises and no obligation.
A toy corner, a closet, a bookshelf wall or a quick playroom reset. Usually a half-day visit.
A full edit and organization of one playroom or girl's bedroom, with labeled bins and a toy-rotation plan.
Large playrooms, finished basements, or a playroom plus bedroom organized together over one or more days.
A custom design for a playroom or girl's bedroom, from mood board to sourcing, install and styling.
Storage, furniture and decor are priced separately so you only pay for what your room needs. Invitation-to-play stations and seasonal styling can be added to any project.
Text us for a quoteHow it works
Start however is easiest for you: an in-home visit, a video visit, or just a first phone call so we can hear your dreams for your child's playroom.
You receive a design board with layout, palette, products and play stations. We refine it together.
We order, assemble, organize and style everything in one install, usually while she's at school.
Seasonal styling and toy-rotation visits keep the room feeling new all year.

Questions
An invitation to play is a small, styled scene, such as a play kitchen set for tea or a little farm with animals ready to be fed, arranged so a child walks in and knows exactly how to begin. It cuts down on dumped bins and screen time and encourages longer, more imaginative play.
We work in Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Potomac, Kensington, North Bethesda, Rockville, Northwest Washington, DC and McLean, VA. Projects farther afield can be arranged.
Pink, girly Girlworld rooms are our signature and our favorite, but we design for every child, including sage, neutral, rainbow and Montessori-inspired spaces.
Holiday installs fill quickly. We recommend booking by early November for a Thanksgiving-weekend or early-December install, and we return in January to pack everything away.
It depends on the size of the room and the scope of the project. Text us a little about your space and we'll talk it through and send you a clear quote. Storage, furniture and decor are priced separately.
No. We start with what you already own, edit and rotate it, and only recommend new pieces where they make the room work better.
