What Houzz contributors are saying:
This designer created the ultimate fort for for kids and adults, complete with comfy cushion, pillows a curtain for privacy and a reading light. This even works as a spot to tuck an extra guest when one has a full house.
added by Danyelle Mathews to Cozy Nooks Help Houseguests Sleep Tight
Ever since the first Harry Potter book was published, the idea of a room under the stairs has been intriguing to both children and adults. Just imagine how happy your littlest houseguests will be when they discover where they'll be sleeping.
