INSPIRED BY THE PLAYFUL SPACES SEEN ON HOUSE RULES, WE SHARE HOW TO FUEL YOUR LITTLE ONES’ CREATIVITY WITH DEDICATED SPACES THAT ARE BIG ON FUN – AND ON STYLE
Nooks and dedicated play zones around the home bring out all the fun in functional. Your little ones’ imaginations will soar, their screen time will diminish and learning opportunities bloom – all under your watchful eye. Here are our top tips to creating a hard-working, inspiring and oh-so-stylish play space for the kids.
STREAMLINED STYLE
An area that’s dedicated to playing doesn’t have to sacrifice style, like in this gorgeous area created for two little girls. Today’s parents want their children’s play zones to fit in with their home’s aesthetic, says Megan Butler, owner of kids’ furniture brand Lilly & Lolly. This magical space, decorated with a ‘Numero 74’ canopy available from designstuff.com.au, reflects the owners’ choice of a soft and feminine palette throughout their home, and it will be simple to convert into a study zone once the children reach school age.
