7 design features of the Mag Playwall that ✨just make sense✨

When it comes to play spaces, it’s the little things that make a big difference. We’re all constantly trying to strike a balance between a beautiful home and a space that’s actually functional for play. That’s exactly why the Mag Playwall exists. To make play easy, creative, and part of everyday life. And while it may look simple, every detail has been carefully thought out by a teacher (it’s me, hi!) and designed to work for both kids and grown-ups.

1. A matte finish that blends in beautifully

Glossy surfaces might scream ‘kids’ corner,’ but The Mag Playwall was designed with your whole home in mind. Its matte finish means it won’t reflect harsh light, clash with your decor, or shout for attention. It quietly does its job, providing a playful, interactive surface while looking like it belongs in the room. And even better, it’s a play corner that doesn't need hiding away when not in use. 

2. Soft, rounded corners that feel calm

There’s something about curves that just feel good. The Mag Playwall’s soft arch shape brings a gentle visual flow to your space, without sharp edges or hard lines. It feels intentional, not like an afterthought, and adds a warm, organic touch that works beautifully in playrooms, lounges, or even bedrooms.

If arches aren’t your thing, the square shape was also designed with calm in mind. Its softly rounded corners keep the look gentle and grounded, adding structure without feeling boxy or bold. 

3. Muted colours that don’t overstimulate

Forget the primary colour overload. The Mag Playwall was made for homes, not just playrooms. Its gentle, earthy tones are easy to live with and don’t shout for attention. The colours are soft enough to blend in with your space, but still playful enough to invite creativity. It keeps things calm, not chaotic, without sacrificing fun.

4. Peel-and-stick installation

No drills. No nails. No swearing under your breath while trying to follow impossible instructions. The Mag Playwall comes ready to go with a high-quality peel-and-stick backing that makes setup a breeze. It's easy as 1, 2, 3, 4! Read the installation guide here

5. Magnetic play that sparks imagination

Make some room on your fridge and let them play with their favourite magnets somewhere other than the kitchen! The Mag Playwall turns any flat surface into a vertical play zone. Perfect for letter matching, shape sorting, or building whatever world they dream up. And, it makes a great support for the ultimate magnetic tile ball runs!

6: Let them draw on the walls!

When they go through that stage of always wanting to draw their masterpieces on the walls… but now they can! The Magplay Wall is made for whiteboard markers, washable crayons and even chalk! Pop it on the wall and let their creative spirits shine without worrying about the paint. And, it’s easy to wipe off and start all over again! 

7. Big enough for two (or more) to play!

When designing the Mag Playwall, it was important to make sure there was space to share, ideally without the squabbles (though no promises there…) Both the arch and square shaped Mag Playwall are a generous 80cm wide, giving kids plenty of elbow room for side-by-side play, collaboration, or parallel magnetic masterpieces.Because play is even better when there’s room for everyone!

The Mag Playwall was never only about making something fun. It was about creating a play tool that actually fits into family life. Something beautiful, practical, and thoughtfully designed to support children’s creativity without taking over the whole house. It's also heaps of fun! 

From its soft shapes and muted colours to its magnetic magic and writable surface, every feature is there for a reason. It’s play that works with your space, your routine, and your values.

Because making play easy, calm, and full of possibilities? ✨That just makes sense✨
