Fun Design: 10 Fabulous Teepees for that Playful Kids’ Room

Kids these days seem to spend more time with their smartphones and iPods than in the yard or the playground. Gone or the days when playtime meant going outside and spending some time under the sun or even interacting with other kids! One of the ways to break this quickly spreading ‘gadget addiction’ is by bringing home some fun distractions that move away from the mundane. A teepee is absolutely perfect in this regard. Providing kids with a private nook where they feel safe, secure and free from scrutiny, a teepee can quickly become their favorite personal sanctuary.

Of course, a cool teepee can be as much a part of the kids’ bedroom as it is of the playroom. And when needed, you can even take the teepee outside and into the rear yard or front patio with ease. From encouraging your kid to pick up a good book to giving them a fun-filled creative zone, here is a look at 10 trendiest teepees around –

Nautical Style Kids’ Rooms

Nautical and coastal styles are among the most perennially popular boys’ bedroom decorating styles and you simply cannot go wrong with either of the looks. Both of them rely on a generous use of white and shades of blue that vary from those as deep as navy to ones much more breezy like turquoise. A teepee that complements the existing nautical vibe of the kids’ room is a great way to enhance the impact of the style without adding unnecessary aesthetic elements. While a teepee in white and dark blue stripes is a classic that never fails, an addition like the Indigo Mini Teepee surely feels trendier.

Teepee Style Beds

Teepees are not just for playtime alone. Custom kids’ beds shaped like a teepee trump the more mundane, boring beds and should make bedtime a lot more exciting for the tiny tots. The exquisite teepee room bed not only is spacious enough to hold a bed, but also provides additional storage space underneath with secret compartments. A simpler and space-savvy option comes in the form of the modern teepee bed from Demeyere, which does away with the additional frills even while becoming the focal point of the room.
