circular reading nook for playroom

3 years ago

Id love to do something like this in my toddlers’ playroom but can’t seem to find a place to design/build this or a kit to DIY. Any suggestions?

There are great tutorials on google for how to make one. Be careful when doing anything for kids since they grow up quickly and then not fit in there anymore maybe a nice ball chair would be a btter choice . It can be used forever

I would start with a finish contractor to help design. As Patricia said, kids grow so size should be considered. I'd also make sure 2 people could comfortably sit - ie wouldn't you like to snuggle and read with your child and as they grow they'll want to sit it with their besties to share secrets!

Yes to @Patricia Colwell Consulting. You will want to rip this out in 10 years. Get a piece of furniture that serves the same purpose.
