zigzag Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Am looking for some ideas on how to create a cosy book corner. I currently have a corner that has two wire standing book cases, a rug, two small cushion couches and is semi seperated from the rest of the room by low furniture. A staff member has suggested a canopy, but I always think that these look like great things for the little ones to pull on. We have incredibly high ceilings as we are in an old victorian building so it would not be easy to fix them. I was wondering about a kids gazebo?? Help, I need some inspiration!!! :1b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klc106 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 We often have a gazebo up in our room with different activities inside. The children love it. We do have a sort of canopy in the cosy corner and the children have never touched it (I thought they would) but they love sitting in there. Here is our cosy corner. We are a pack away setting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargrower Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I like your cosy corner, especially the 'popular culture' bits. It really draws children in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 I love that, it looks much nicer than the canopy idea. Thank you for sharing. I'm not really a material draping sort of person so any images are most welcome!!! Thanks Klc106 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playgroup1 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 We have the same problem - in a packaway setting with really high ceilings, We bought the circus tent from Ikea (£17 I think) so the children had a cosy private space. They seem to like it although seeing the adults crawling in and backing out is a sight! We did have to stress that it was a book tent and not a place to stash all the small world toys though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klc106 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Our new little ones have found it a lovely place to fall asleep in the middle of the afternoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
