To wonder if I can pull off a 'disappearing playroom'?

[VeniceQueen2004]

It's probably just the lockdown crafty competitiveness and Pinterest overdose talking, but I've got this crazy idea...

We live in a terraced house with quite high ceilings but a very small yard. I have an active three year old, and I am dreadful for buying/borrowing things for her so the play room (also our main lounging space) is very crowded with her toys etc.

I remember a while ago seeing this:

basically its a Dutch company who designed a 'dissappearing office' - basically, all the desks etc were on cables which winched up into the ceiling space at 5pm to encourage better work/life balance.

I'm wondering if there's any way I could do this in the playroom - i.e. have some things winched up into the ceiling except when in use? i'm thinking maybe a hammock (she loves them) and/or a rope ladder/some sort of light climbing apparatus as she's well into climbing at the moment and my sofa can''t take any more! So nothing heavy like a rocking horse or something that might crash down onto our heads unexpectedly

Give it to me straight Mumsnet, am I batshit?

Well thank you everybody, I think I've concluded that while a fully levitating playroom is the stuff of dreams, some additional kitc could be suspended from the walls/doors/ ceiling, I can consider locking relocating my child and her large scale crap behind a large sliding door, and I need to start watching telly in my front room by some means or other. Thank you all for this intervention!

We have a projector that we use in our lounge when we want to watch on something other than the ipad. That way there is no big TV hanging around on the wall or waiting to be knocked off furniture. We can put it in the playroom when DS is older if he wants to watch something. Not sure what the plan is if we want to watch something at the same time!

Two TVs.

One in playroom for pepper pig shizzle, other in front room for adult netflix binge.

Then you can relax on an evening not surrounded by all the plastic.

Maybe post a layout of your lounge and wise mumsnetters can find alternatives to tv on wall (I dislike that too).

I'm sure you could fix one of those projector screens to the ceiling to pull over the pictures.

We have a projector for our front room but just didn’t end up using it for evening tv. I have wall mounted a TV above fireplace which I hate but am planning on a v light weight photo printed on canvas which I will mount in front of TV on v long fastenings. And then just take the photo off when I want to watch TV. I would prefer a mirror but they are too heavy to lift up and down every evening.

@VeniceQueen2004 - radical idea but...move the tv?

We have had a projector since the kids were tiny. Now they are teens they all watch stuff on their tablets but Fri night we come together for film night. It works well at night but during the day you have to have shutters or black out curtains. We love ours

Would it not be an awful lot easier to just move the TV?
