It’s Good To Be A Kid

Raising chil­dren is an expe­ri­ence that war­rants many joys– and one of the joys that par­tic­u­larly excites us is the aes­thetic kind. (We bet you didn’t see that com­ing). But yes, not sur­pris­ingly the design oppor­tu­ni­ties that come along with chil­dren fill us with all sorts of fun ideas. Letting your imag­i­na­tion run wild results in delight­ful spaces for your happy lit­tle young­sters. You don’t have to restrain your­self like you do in the rest of your house.

Children love color. Experiment. There are plenty of fun wall­pa­pers out there. Try one. Let your kids write on the walls; paint a wall with chalk­board paint.

Kids also love lit­tle cub­bies or hid­ing spots. Create a cozy nook for them to nuz­zle up with their favorite book. Build an indoor tree house. Make a teepee. Create a for­est canopy.

It’s easy to get clever with stor­age and orga­ni­za­tion too. Use col­or­ful bins for toy stor­age on a book­case. Build a cup­board that looks like a minia­ture sky scraper. Display toys like pieces of con­tem­po­rary art on float­ing shelves.

We’ve gath­ered some inspi­ra­tional pho­tos for you to flip through. Have fun. That’s what your kids would want you to do anyway.
