House Beautiful - July 2024

Thank you to House Beautiful for featuring our Bethesda, MD project in your article that shares 35 playful and practical ideas for designing a kids’ playroom that’s both fun and functional. From clever solutions like a Dutch door or indoor climbing wall, to creative touches like hand-painted murals, craft zones, or a built-in stage — there’s something for every home and personality. Importantly, it emphasizes that a playroom doesn’t need to sacrifice style: thoughtful use of storage, flexible furnishings, neutral bases with colorful accents, or mixed textures means a space can feel cohesive with the rest of your home. A few of the featured designs come from Marika Meyer Studio — including a playroom / craft-space layout and a kids’ indoor-play-area with climbing-wall and imaginative features.
