As part of Project Big Girl Room, I was thinking about turning one of my daughter’s two CAVERNOUS closets into a little room. The room would function as a reading nook/play space. I am envisioning comfortable chairs, floor mats, and/or bean bag chairs, a little bookshelf and a small table, with lots of wall art and maybe some horizontal stripes on the walls and doors?
So, as far as inspiration goes, I am inspired by closets turned into home offices and reading nooks. Home offices are a stretch for my not-yet 3 year-old, but that seems to be what a lot of people turn closets into! The creativity below will knock your Ferragamos off….
Closets as Home Offices:
{I die for that acrylic “ghost” desk chair….}
{I love the use of wallpaper on the back wall of the closet above and below.}
{I like the use of the curtains instead of the closet door in the picture above and below, but I think I am going to keep the closet doors for symmetry with the other closet in the room.}
{I like the little peg boards above.}
Closets as Reading Nooks/Daybeds:
{The horizontal stripes here look fabulous and I like that they used a twin bed that doubles as a reading nook and an extra bed for guests. I don’t think our closet is big enough for that, but it’s perfect for this space.}
{Another closet turned reading nook that doubles as an extra bed.}
{Love this floor seating, simple book case and clip-on light.}
{This nook would have been my dream as a kid. I love everything about it — the hanging bookshelf, the wall art and the little table with that sweet yellow lamp!}
What do you think? Can I pull it off?
