Design Concept
Saudi Arabia
The design concept for this nursery's indoor activity room revolves around the theme of "Enchanted Nature," aiming to create a dreamlike space where children aged 3 to 6 feel immersed in a magical blend of fantasy and the natural world. By combining natural elements with whimsical, imaginative designs, the room features playful shapes and soft color palettes that spark curiosity, exploration, and creativity in young minds. The space is designed to be flexible and adaptable, prioritizing children's sensory experiences and psychological needs, ensuring a safe, free, and joyful environment for growth and discovery.
The color scheme draws inspiration from the beauty of nature and the enchanting hues of a dreamlike world. The space features a blend of soft pastels—such as light blue, blush pink, and lavender—paired with vibrant accents of yellow, green, and blue, creating a light, serene, yet energetic atmosphere. The ceiling and walls are adorned with cloud and star patterns, transforming the room into a whimsical, fairy-tale-like environment where children feel as though they are exploring a magical realm. This thoughtful use of color not only captures children's attention but also helps regulate their emotions, fostering a sense of safety, comfort, and joy.
The Application Of Design Concept
The room is divided into three main functional zones—the Play Area, Learning Zone, and Reading Corner—each tailored to support development through play and interaction.

Play Area
The Play Area is the heart of the space, where children can release energy and engage in physical activities. By seamlessly blending natural elements with the enchanting theme, the area features vibrant orange and blue tones, colors that radiate energy and inspire exploration. Equipped with a variety of play structures—such as a wooden playhouse, crawl nets, slides, climbing walls, a ball pit, and sensory soft play equipment—the space encourages children to develop their coordination, physical strength, and social skills through fun and interactive play. The spacious layout offers ample room for free movement, while its flexible design adapts to a wide range of activities and group interactions, ensuring endless opportunities for creativity and engagement.

Interactive Wall Play Area
The Interactive Wall Play Area is another highlight of the design, featuring a wall filled with a variety of educational toys and interactive installations. It includes nature-themed wall activities for younger children and STEM-based puzzles for older kids, catering to different age groups and developmental needs. The zone is designed in natural, refreshing tones like blue and purple, creating a visually soothing environment while stimulating creativity and hands-on skills. Through engaging with the wall-mounted installations, children can develop logical thinking, patience, and problem-solving abilities, making exploration the central theme of this area.

Reading Corner
The Reading Corner, nestled under the staircase, is a peaceful and tranquil space designed to provide children with a comfortable and calming environment for focused reading and self-discovery. The area features a soft palette of blush pink and white, complemented by natural wood bookshelves, cozy children's sofas, and touches of greenery, creating a warm and inviting reading nook. The walls are adorned with cloud and star decorations, immersing children in a dreamlike atmosphere. This zone not only offers a wide selection of books but also features a flexible layout, allowing children to freely choose their reading spots and lose themselves in the magical worlds of stories, fostering their imagination and concentration.
