Climbing the Walls, Literally: Climbing Walls in Kids Spaces
It’s only December and the chilly temps are already keeping our family home more. In the past year or two I’ve noticed more and more kids spaces that include climbing walls. Will I ever have a climbing wall in my home for my kids? Doubtful. But I salute those who do. They make a great indoor activity for cold, winter days and they are more practical than they might seem at first glance. Since they’re on your wall they don’t take up valuable floor space and, bonus, climbing holds aren’t expensive.
Here are ten great examples to check out:
Row One:
1. A climbing wall on the side of a custom built loft bed on Finch Found
2. Climbing holds to climb up to a lofted playspace above a girl’s bed by Marie of Unique Annick, seen on Fresh Dads.
3. Climbing wall in a child’s bedroom of a huge Chelsea loft on NY Daily News.
