4 childrens’ room ideas that will make you wish you were a kid again
We all had dreams of treehouses or secret dens when we were kids, take a look at these fab ideas – you'll want a grown up version
Take yourself back to being a child and you probably remember making secret dens out of your mums clothes airer and a bed sheet or raiding your dad's garage for wood to build a fort. We love these great ideas for putting the fun back into childrens' bedrooms.
1. If you're handy with a sewing machine, make a wigwam out of leftover material and pop in a few cushions for a cosy childrens' den. Perfect for a secret reading spot!
2. Turn a wall into a graphic mural of the kids' favourite cartoon characters or superhero and let their imagination run wild.
3. This secret door reminds us of Alice in Wonderland, what a fun way for kids to get into the bedroom!
4. As beds come, this has got to be a winner! The kids will be begging to go to bed in this super fun, beach hut themed design.
