| Bright Colors and Creativity Define a Play Space for Children Posted: 05 Mar 2014 08:00 AM PST Color and playfulness define this interior intervention in a children’s space located within Kalorias Health Club in Portugal. The space is meant to provide a place for children to play, learn, and simply be kids. Ultimately, the deisigners, Estudio Amatam, wanted to give kids a space in which to use their imaginations and make the place their own. Previously a space used to host corporate events, the Kalorias Children’s Space needed to be updated with children’s needs in mind. A bright but soothing shade of blue leads into the space, accompanied by playful alphabet wallpaper. Each arch in the corridor leads to a different room, each with its own defined function. The colorful Play Room is defined by its grass carpet which continues onto a wall. The glossy bright stripes above contrast with the grass-like floor and enhance the room’s visual stimulation. The reading room gives kids a slightly calmer environment in which to read, study, and watch movies. The black walls are actually blackboards that children can write and draw on, and the walls can become a screen for movies or cartoons. The visual arts room features bright lights against a soft blue ceiling, resembling a starry night. The various portals, cubby holes and hiding spots inspire creative play and allow kids to explore and simply be kids. The Open Play room is the most versatile space of all, giving kids a space to play sports, socialize, and explore. A mountain of Tetris-like blocks against one wall can be used as seating or as a fun climbing playground for kids. A small stage in the room also allows for fun theatrics.

| Illusion Storage: Vase-Displaying Shelves Hide a Fun Secret Posted: 04 Mar 2014 02:00 PM PST Shelves are only shelves until they are adorned with your personal collection of knick-knacks, right? The Vase Shelves from Bakery Design are the exception to that rule. The beech wood shelves are supported by built-in white vases. The vases are actually wooden supports that hold up the shelves from both ends. Because many conventional shelves display vases, they look perfectly natural where they are. It isn’t until further inspection that it becomes apparent the vases are not what they appear. Even when the shelves are empty of personal possessions, they still appear to display objects of pride. When they are bare, the vases provide the focal point and look like an artsy arrangement of fine glassware. The Vase Shelves are modular and customizable. Shelves can be added or removed depending on your needs. The wooden lathe-turned vases are secured to the planks with bolts to ensure that they are as stable and functional as they are visually interesting.
