Secret Mezzanine

Here's a little creativity if you have the space. It's a play area, study space or lounge with a ladder that leads to a loft or bedroom. I like how they recessed the ladder in the wall and then utilized that void for cabinet space. It's also a sweet little touch with the bright color in the background to make it stand out. They had a little fun by carving out a few cubbies or portholes connecting the two spaces.
