Decorating with Houses

Published on July 14, 2015

Kid’s rooms and spaces are fun to design and in this, the Age of Pinterest, it is so easy to find hundreds of photos and ideas to browse through. Some of them are inspiring (Scandinavian style), some of them not so much (camouflage anyone?), and I’ll be honest, most of them I just pass right by. Given how high standards are in children’s interior design now, it takes more than just a decal’d wall to make me stop and pin. Every once in a while though, a trend will come along that is so irresistably cute, and so perfectly suited to a child’s space, that it’ll make me stop and pin- and grin- every single time. One of these trends is decorating with houses, not the midcentury ones (although those are beautiful too), but the traditional “as you drew it when you were a kid” silhouette. There’s something so whimsical about the whole concept, it warms my heart!

Let’s take a look at a few ideas and concepts for decorating with houses.

Create a chalkboard house silhouette! So quick, easy and inexpensive. Via Vintage Magic.

House shaped shelves! These are sold at Restoration Hardware in a couple of different sizes and configurations and Etsy is also full of them. Completely adorable. Via Mini Style Blog.

This image has been repinned 330 times on my Nurseries & Kid Spaces board and rightfully so! The colours are adorable and I like how the brightness of the pink shines a spotlight and creates a cozy feeling in the little reading nook. Plus, hello baby! Via Vertbaudet.

Speaking of cozy, this little house-shaped bed frame is so cute. Coupled with the blue Orla Kiely stem wallpaper and the little hanging book sacks, I know my kids would love this space! Via Ameise Design.

Ok, this is just genius. So creative, imaginative and simple- All you need is washi tape! Via Spearmint Baby.

If you’re handy, I bet you could whip up one of these large scale house bookshelves/play spaces up in no time! Via Petit & Small.

No dollhouse? No problem. Add an Ikea Expedit shelf and frame around it with wallpaper, or create a wallpaper house and add in Ikea accessories like racks and shelves to create a play space. Via Vtwonen, and Marie-Claire idées.

How about a bed frame shaped like a house? How about yes, I say! Via Apartment Therapy.

In case you were wondering if this was a trend just for the very littles, wonder no more! This is a gorgeous tween room and perfectly age appropriate despite the house shaped bed frame. It’s just the right mix of minimalist, whimsical and cool, no? Via Mommo Design.

Lastly, if you’ve got kids sharing a room, this is a wonderful twist on a bunk bed. I also love the colour scheme, the bedding, the Scandi/MCM style… I could go on. Via Weekday Carnival.

So what do you think? Which room is your favourite and are there any projects you’re thinking of incorporating into your kids’ spaces? The washi tape outlined house and the Ikea bookshelf dollhouse are must-try’s for me.

I DID IT! 💪🏼 // But seriously, this garage p I DID IT! 💪🏼 // But seriously, this garage pantry of ours was out of control. 🙈 It got to the point where I’d just walk in and walk right out. I finally had enough and ordered these three totally necessary pantry organization containers and it’s been life changing! I won’t lie- I walk in there now just to admire how neat everything is. 🤣👉🏼 Everything is linked in my bio in my LTK shop! #sofreshmyhome #pantryorganisation

LATELY… // Same room, same time, different light LATELY… // Same room, same time, different lighting, display shelf, crooked art, book stacks, way too many throw pillows but at least they all coordinate haha. It’s a bit of a mash happening here at the moment but with family visiting in a couple months and some big life changes coming next year inshallah, I’m leaving this room as it is. It’s where we all gather and there’s a lot to be said for the comfort of status quo. #sofreshmyhome

A LITTLE WILD AND FREE // And as maximalist as it A LITTLE WILD AND FREE // And as maximalist as it gets around here lol. There’s something about making mixed arrangements from farmer’s market blooms, isn’t there? Also, eucalyptus smells heavenly. 😍 I really need to buy it more often. #sofreshmyhome
