Closet No More!

Repurposed Closet in a Kid's Room

Kids love to build impromptu forts—hiding inside tents, nooks, and improvised shelters makes them feel protected from imaginary monsters, frightful creatures, and the rest of the outside world. We’ve seen a lot of DIY and ready-to-buy tent options on Pinterest and all over the blogosphere lately, but one idea makes my heart skip a beat: the repurposed closet.

That ugly monster that hides in every kid’s closet? Well, there’s nowhere for him to hide anymore, because these spaces brilliantly transform a basic closet space into a fantastic play area or sleeping corner. How cool is that?

Of course, you’ll have to reorganize the room and store the closet contents in a dresser or chest of drawers or utilize some other storage option. But imagine how wonderful it would be for your child to have a hidden space like one of these in his or her room! Hey, monsters and ugly night creatures, move away—we’re taking over the closet!
