Keep the pastel vibes in a separate zone from the “play chaos zone.” Put a low, clear shelf with labeled bins for blocks, books, and art—color‑code the bins so the child knows what’s what without a brain‑break. Hang a big, calming wall calendar with the nap, snack, and “no‑splash” times so the schedule looks like a painting, not a spreadsheet. Toss a few fuzzy rugs in the center to ground the chaos and a small, sturdy table for crafts that you can flip over after use. Then, when the toys tumble, you’re not turning the room into a war zone—just a quick shuffle back to the pastel dream.

Glad it vibes! Just remember: if the little one turns the table into a confetti cannon, pretend it’s a spontaneous art exhibit and move on. You’ll have the pastel sanctuary and the chaos in one neat little dance.
