• Simple decor for a modern playroom can include teddy bears.Teddy Bear image by Alexandra Stukkey from Fotolia.com
  
  A modern playroom decor style emphasizes a clean streamlined look and sophistication with basic two-toned paint and classic decor pieces such as an old-fashioned teddy bear. This style is simplistic, with minimal accents. A modern playroom is probably more pleasing to an adult rather than a child because it is less traditional than cartoon-style or princess-style playrooms. However, a modern playroom is still just as functional as a more colorful room.
  
  

Sailboats

• Incorporate a sailboat theme with your modern classic playroom. Paint the walls baby blue and install white crown molding along the top border of the walls. Paint small simple sailboats underneath the crown molding border. Furnish the room with white wooden furniture and additional accents such as sailboats or hang framed photos of boats on the walls.
  
  

Teddy Bears

• A teddy bear playroom theme can work for either a boy or a girl. Paint the walls pink, yellow or purple depending on your children's color preferences. Furnish the room with modern cherry wood play furniture such as a table and chair set and toy boxes. Paint teddy bears on the border of the room or select one wall to paint a teddy bear mural.
  
  

Ultra Sophisticated

• Choose one wall in your child's playroom to paint a dark color such as burgundy or forest green. Leave the ceiling and all the other walls white. Hang framed pictures of your child's artwork on the colored accent wall. Install wood floors and place burgundy rugs on the floor to add even more sophistication to the room. Buy maroon, purple or black leather toy boxes and place them up against walls throughout the room. Place a cherry wood child-sized table and chair set in the middle of the room.
  
  

Modern Story-book Theme

• Paint all the walls in the playroom yellow and leave the ceiling white. Install white crown molding along the top border of the wall. Hang framed pictures of your child's favorite story book characters on the wall. Choose classic wooden toy boxes and other playroom furniture. An old-fashioned, child-size kitchen set would go nicely in this room.
