Transform a yard corner into a magical hideaway with the Corner Playhouse Plan, a petite cottage design full of charm and clever detail. Located snugly in a corner, this design saves space while offering cheerful storybook character, with corner windows, a small porch entry, and delightful architectural trim. At approximately 40 square feet interior, it’s ideal for young children to imagine, create, and play in a space that feels like their own secret room.
Despite its compact size, the Corner Playhouse can be dressed up with play accessories like chalkboards, flower boxes, or a small slide from the porch. Built with simplicity in mind, the plan is approachable yet stylish, with clean lines and vintage cottage accents. It’s perfect for families who want a whimsical, artisan-style playhouse that looks charming, builds easily, and fits beautifully into smaller yards or tight outdoor corners.
