10 Fun & Simple Ways to Decorate and Personalise a Wooden Kids Cubby House

A wooden cubby house is a great play space for kids, but it can also be decorated and personalised to make it even more special.

Here are 10 fun and simple ways to do just that.

1. Paint the exterior with bright and bold colours: Choose colours that your kids love, or even a theme that they're passionate about. Use stencils to add patterns or designs to make the house even more fun and unique.  See below vibrant example of the Warrigal Cubby House.

2. Use decals, stickers, or vinyl wall art: This is a great way to add a touch of whimsy to the cubby house. Choose designs that match the theme or interests of your kids, such as animals, fairy tales, or space.  How cute is this picture of the Plum Play Deckhouse? 

3. Attach bunting or garlands made of fabric, paper, or felt: This is a simple and affordable way to add colour and charm to the cubby house. You can also make your own bunting with scrap fabric or paper.

4. Install shutters or windows with flower boxes: This will give the cubby house a homey feel, and your kids will love caring for the flowers. You can even make your own flower boxes with a few supplies from the hardware store. The below Aberdeen Cubby House shows how enticing these additions can be! 

5. Create a cozy reading nook inside: Add curtains, cushions, and a rug to create a cozy and inviting space for your kids to read, play, or relax.

6. Make a door sign using wooden letters or paint: This is a fun and simple way to personalise the cubby house. You can write your kids' names or a special message that they'll love. The stylish and cosy Teddy Cubby house featured below is a great example of this. 

7. Install a whiteboard or chalkboard: This is a great way for kids to express their creativity and have fun with their friends. They can draw, write, or play games on the board.

8. Create a fun outdoor area with solar-powered string lights or lanterns: This is a great way to make the cubby house feel special and magical at night. You can also hang up a hammock or swings for kids to relax and play on. This gorgeous Aspen Cubby looks like it's in for years of exciting outdoor entertainment! 

9. Place potted plants or flowers outside: This is a simple way to add a pop of colour to the cubby house and to help your kids develop their green thumb. How cute does this elegantly decorated Archie Cubby look? Pot plants are ideal for raised wooden cubbies. 

10. Hang up a hammock or swings: These are a fun and cozy addition to the cubby house, and your kids will love spending time in them.
