The boys share the space, so Helen has had bespoke bunk beds made and she explained on Instagram that they also “crafted sliding drawers underneath to make the most of the space”.

Helen posted a picture of the fun play area on Instagram, with one of her young sons scaling the wall.

I just wanted something fun for them, life’s too short right!”.

She goes on to say: “My kids climb on everything so this is perfect for them”. She also reveals that the designer she worked with asked the children for their opinions and talked them through the best choices.
The design team have incorporated the climbing wall into a tree painting to create a very clever and fun corner for the boys.
