This Interior Designer Made a Stylish Lofted Ball Pit Using an IKEA Find

Plus, a 5-ingredient dinner to make this week.

The Lofted Ball Pit in This Living Room (Using an IKEA Toddler Bed!) Doesn't Sacrifice on Style When interior designer Habiba Koroma and her son, Miles, moved into a modern apartment in Harlem, the new space presented an exciting challenge: to create a space that felt both sophisticated and kid-friendly, but within 630 square feet. "My biggest challenge has been transitioning to a kid-friendly space without sacrificing style and sophistication," Koroma said at the time of the tour.   Koroma employed "Montessori principles" when conceiving the play area. The library, whiteboard, and hanging yarn installation are underneath a KURA bunk bed from IKEA and easily accessible to Miles, which Koroma said encourages "independent exploration."  READ MORE "No-Peek Chicken" Is the Most Delicious 5-Ingredient Dinner You'll Make This Week Minimal effort and maximum deliciousness.
