How to Equip an Indoor Playground – Where to Start?

Equipping a children’s indoor playground involves facing many challenges. On one hand, it needs to be an engaging and attractive space where parents can relax. On the other hand, it requires careful attention to permits, approvals, and certifications. At Small Human Design, we seamlessly combine design, minimalism, safety, fun, and the magical world of children to meet these challenges.

Modern Indoor Playground for Kids – The Benefits of Natural Playrooms

A monkey house, for example, is a wooden structure designed as an indoor playground for children. With its system of passages, nets, slides, and hideouts, it offers the perfect space for engaging play for children as young as one year old. Moreover, the variety of tasks and challenges it provides significantly supports the psychophysical development of young ones, especially in developing their gross motor skills.

Additionally, by focusing on natural, minimalistic designs, we can also stimulate the imagination and cognitive skills of children. These designs help foster creativity without overwhelming the senses.

When designed according to the principles of Montessori and Reggio Emilia education, monkey houses are well-organized, thoughtfully planned, and encourage children to independently explore the world around them. Instead of replacing creativity, they spark it, transforming the play area into a space for unlimited fun and discovery.

Wooden Structures for Kids… and Parents!

Wooden monkey houses can be installed in almost any space where engaging and safe play is a priority. This makes them an excellent solution for preschools, nurseries, cafés, hotels, shopping malls, and various other types of indoor playrooms.

At Small Human Design, we take pride in creating fully safe structures that are accessible to children of all ages. To ensure this, we carefully design each piece of furniture and construction to comply with European safety standards. Furthermore, we assist you through the certification process, giving you peace of mind.

Safety is not only a key benefit for children but also a crucial factor for parents. While the little ones explore the corners of the monkey house, parents can relax, knowing their kids are playing in a safe and secure environment. This allows children to confidently fulfill their playful fantasies, while parents can enjoy peace of mind.

Where to Start When Designing a Indoor Playground?

Every business is unique. Therefore every playroom requires tailored solutions. The starting point for designing a monkey grove involves gathering inspiration. Defining the main goals of the play area, shouldn’t be omitted. As well as analyzing the available space and its technical capabilities. This includes dimensions, wall and ceiling installations, and any elements that may need to be removed or bypassed.

To ensure your structure is fully safe and perfectly suited to your business needs, we encourage you to take advantage of a free consultation with the Small Human Design team. This is an excellent opportunity to kickstart your project and create a monkey grove that is both visually appealing and logistically sound.

How to Prepare for a Free Consultation?

1. Technical Aspects

To conduct a thorough analysis of the space for the monkey grove, we’ll need a floor plan with the intended location of the structure and photographs of the area.

This will help us determine:

• The maximum size of the monkey house,
• The type of structure (e.g., freestanding or wall-anchored),
• The best location for the monkey house,
• What elements need to be removed, such as electrical outlets or baseboards,
• What features must be accounted for in the design, such as installations, windows, parapets, beams, and structural columns.
• If available, an interior design project with a functional layout will allow us to identify the ideal location for the monkey house.

2. Indoor Playroom – Concept and Inspiration

Bring a collection of inspirations to the consultation (e.g., a Pinterest board, sketches, or examples of other projects) and describe your vision for the monkey house. For instance, will it have a forest or safari theme?

This will help us estimate:

• The size of the monkey house,
• The density of the structure,
• The type of play elements (e.g., hanging bridges, climbing walls, slides—which significantly affect the final design due to safety standards),
• The number and type of decorations (including their complexity and optional colors),
• The number of levels,
• The intended age group.

We’ll analyze all ideas for compliance with the PN-EN 1176 safety standards.

3. Additional Features for the Monkey House

During the consultation, we’ll also discuss additional play area features, such as:

• Ball pits,
• Safety fences,
• Furniture,
• Freestanding play elements,
• Mattresses and shapes.

4. Logistics – Opening a Natural Playroom

After discussing the idea and concept for the monkey house, we’ll consider logistical aspects and potential challenges associated with implementation, including:

• The location of the project,
• The planned installation and opening dates,
• The planned certification process.

All these factors will help us create an offer tailored to your business needs.
