Playhouses come in all shapes and sizes but with a little interior personalization your child will be spending quality time in a comfortable play area environment. First, it’s a good idea to paint the interior white, or a light color. This will give the interior a nice finished look and keeps the interior light.
If you’re artistic paint some interesting murals, flowers, animals etc., if you’re not artistic just use a stencil, or you could put up some of your child’s drawings to give it a comfortable feeling of home. If drawing or paintings not your thing, then wallpaper or a border will also give an area a homey atmosphere. When thinking about how to decorate a playhouse consider the interests or hobbies of the child and pick a theme based on the childs preferences.
For example, alot of girls like a princess or fairy theme, while boys may want a sports or race car theme. Next, you’ll need some child sized furniture. When choosing child sized furniture there is a wide range from inexpensive plastic to a more expensive wooden. Chairs and a table for tea parties, a place to write or draw, and play board games are a must. Chalkboards are a nice addition for drawing and writing. Also, when deciding how to decorate a playhouse add some personal toughes such as a play kitchen if the child likes to play cooking, or an area to store dress up clothes and shoes. After creating some areas for you child based on their preferences some finishing touches may include window treatments coordinated with the theme which also make it a comfortable, homey area, and rugs or a carpet remnant are a nice touch, they look good and help warm the floor a bit.
When deciding how to decorate a playhouse just keep in mind who the playhouse is for, what they like, what their hobbies are, or what they like to play. Be creative and have fun, get the child involved as well. They can help paint, choose accessories, and be involved in the entire process. This will ensure an environment that your child will love.

The rest of the reasons I agree with. I fall into the “too complete” area a lot – or at least think I do!
