Creating Alcoves

As a continuation to my earlier post, " Capitalizing on nooks and crannies " this post will hopefully be helpful to create some nook ( in kiddy world - hidden, secret spaces)to make kids feel they have their own world.
A nice canopy or a play tent from the ceiling or over the bed does the trick. So do allocate a space for their dreamy spot.

While it is usually little girls that clamor for canopy beds to feel like a princess, boys can have designer canopies in the form of tree houses, castles, mansions. Canopies give a sense of security to children(while keeping off insects if need be)

Nooks can be created beween cabinetary like the ones below.

You could save the space above cabinetary for a dreamy loft space .that promises adventure.

So do you have any more ideas to create their personal cove or niche, which could be their private retreat?
