Children are the future generations of the nation. The health of children is a crucial factor, where a children's hospital serves as a facility to meet those needs. Children require a different approach compared to adults, as they are unable to control emotions and responses to actions like adults. Therefore, specific treatment is needed to make children more comfortable and open during medical procedures. The implementation of interior design with a playful approach can influence a child's psychology positively, enhancing their comfort and openness during medical processes. The research method employed in this design includes literature studies, field observations, and direct interviews with relevant parties in children's hospitals and experts in the field to gather necessary data for the design. The application of interior design with a playful approach in the design of children's hospitals is expected to be a progress and innovation, especially in the realms of child care and medicine.
