How to Revamp That Playroom: Reading Nook

March 4, 2020 · In: Home Design & DIY

This post was sponsored by Achim Home Décor as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

I have set many goals for myself this year. One of these goals included revamping our playroom. It has always been that ‘extra’ space where we kept toys and art supplies. I am sure a lot of you may have this exact same space in your home. Well, I am ready to give it more purpose. Here is how I am revamping our playroom by adding a reading nook!

Reading Nook

Creating a reading spot.

My kids love to read. May I mention that I am more than thrilled about this? I have never had to force reading onto them because it has always come naturally for them. When I first started giving that spare room upstairs its playroom purpose, I knew it would have an area for them to read. The vinyl plank flooring upstairs was already in place. I wanted the reading space to have a more comfy-feel. Thankful for Achim Home Décor’s wide variety of floor and wall products that are available at Walmart!

How to use Achim Home Décor’s products.

How did I actually create the reading spot with Achim Home Décor’s products? Well, I headed to my local Walmart and quickly found the Achim Home Décor section within the home improvement section. What an awesome variety they have to offer!

Nexus Carpet Tiles

The Nexus Self Adhesive Carpet Tiles are such an easy way to revamp any space with a modern take to old-school carpeting. With the 12″x 12″ Nexus Self Adhesive Carpet Tiles, you can quickly install carpet tiles with your own unique look. The peel and stick backing gives you the ability to mix and match colors to form different patterns or you can stick with a solid look on any flat and dry surface.

Portfolio Plank & Tile

The Achim Home Décor’s Portfolio Tile Collection consists of 2.0mm Self-Adhesive Vinyl Floor tiles that allow you to quickly update any room in your home. They are durable and easy to install! The Portfolio Tile Collection requires no tools, glue or any additional adhesives for installation because you are able to peel and stick them to any flat and dry subfloor. Like the Nexus Self Adhesive Carpet Tiles, you get 12, 12″x12″ tiles in each box. Quickly create a beautiful space with this collection!

Vinyl Floor Tile

Lastly, Nexus Tiles is the Achim Home Décor’s vinyl tile collection that allows you to quickly install vinyl tiles to any room in your home: kitchen, dining room, bedroom, bathroom, foyer, and basement. As with the other flooring products, no messy glue or adhesive is needed for installation. These beautiful vinyl tiles come in 20 square feet, 20 tiles per box.

Nexus Self Adhesive Carpet Tiles for the reading spot.

After looking over all my options in the Achim Home Décor section in Walmart, I decided to go with the Nexus Self Adhesive Carpet Tiles (Smoke color) to give my reading spot that comfy feel. Did I mention how easy these carpet tiles are to install? Once I cleaned the corner where I wanted the reading spot, I laid out the carpet tiles to make sure I had enough and that they were all going to fit just right.

Achim Home Décor

I decided to go with the alternating fabric pattern flow. One tile at a time, I took the backing off and carefully placed the tile in place. I literally had all the carpet squares in place in under 10 minutes. Y’all, it looks so good!

Walmart and Achim Home Décor for the win.

From this point on, I am a huge fan of Achim Home Décor’s products at Walmart. Not only are they easy to install, but they are easy to purchase from Walmart! Don’t forget those awesome Walmart prices either.

    I didn’t even know carpet tiles existed! I just re did my daughters bathroom floor with a peel and stick vinyl tile. This is great!

#ad Not only are we working on this new school day #ad Not only are we working on this new school day routine, but we are also trying to get a grasp on our nighttime and sleeping routine as well. My kids are so used to going to bed a little later and walking up later during the summer. We all know how that changes during the school year! Sleep is so important, and this is why I am thankful to have Vicks PURE Zzzs Kidz Melatonin Gummies! These gummies from @zzzquil are perfect for adjusting to a back-to-school sleep routine. They’re non-habit forming, use a low dose of melatonin and are also free of gluten, lactose, and gelatin! These gummies are a must try! Please be sure to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any other underlying conditions before giving melatonin gummies to your child. Here’s to an easy school year and an even easier nighttime and sleeping routine!
