What is an Under the Stairs
Playhouse?
When we built our home we knew we wanted to make the most out of every inch of the space. We were already creating a playroom for our kids that happened to be up against the same wall as the stairs and after some researching found an idea for making an under the stairs playhouse and we're going to talk about how to create one!

There are so many reasons I fell in love with this idea but the main idea for me was functionality. My girls have a lot of role playing toys like cribs, play kitchen, baby changing stations, dress-up etc. and those are the things they play with every single day. I thought what better way to contain their “mess” than giving them their own little "home" in a space that would typically go unused! So taking that idea of functionality and turning it into a dream space that my girls can fully dive into their imagination was my biggest goal.

The inside of this playhouse is actually pretty big! I made sure that every inch would be usable so if you visualize the split staircase from the outside the whole underneath is what is on the inside. I think I will better be able to show this once it is decorated! Inside we added something specifically with the boys in mind after their arrival: A fort! This fort has a safety net on one side and a ladder on the other. The girls will love this too but I wanted something specific I knew the boys would totally dig! As you can see too, it is is so sturdy even I can get comfy up there!
