INTRODUCING STORY HOUSE: THE NEWEST ADDITION TO THE GL KIDS COLLECTION

Posted on August 1st, 2026 05:31 PM

THERE IS A PARTICULAR KIND OF MAGIC IN A SMALL, SOFT SPACE

A place low enough for little hands to climb into. Quiet enough to hear a story properly. There's enough to feel like home. This is the idea behind Story House, a cosy indoor playhouse designed for reading, dreaming and imaginative play, and the latest piece in Gulmohar Lane's growing edit of kids' furniture online. And now, it returns reimagined. Softer padding underfoot, gently striped drapes, and a name embroidered just for them.

A SPACE THAT FEELS LIKE THEIRS

Every child, at some point, goes looking for a corner to call their own a gap between the sofa and the wall. A blanket thrown over two chairs. An instinct, really, to build a smaller world inside the bigger one. Story House answers that instinct properly. Soft cotton drapes fall from a simple frame, drawing back to reveal a quilted, padded base built for settling in. Pillows lean against the back wall. A single round cushion sits at the centre, its name stitched across it in careful embroidery the kind of detail that runs through all of Gulmohar Lane Furniture's collections, where craft and comfort are never an afterthought. It isn't a toy that gets left in a corner. It's a small room within a room — one that asks to be returned to, again and again.

THREE WAYS TO DREAM

The new Story House arrives in three quiet colourways, each with its own particular charm. Rose Story House carries soft pink stripes against a warm white base, playful, gentle, unmistakably theirs. Sky Story House takes the same silhouette in soft blue stripes, calm and airy, built for slower afternoons. Ivory Story House keeps things pared back entirely, a soft, undyed canvas that lets the child's own things, their toys, their books, their imagination, take the lead. Across all three, the details remain thoughtfully consistent. Better padding for longer afternoons spent lying about with a book. Striped drapes that tie back neatly when playtime calls for an open house. And that personalised name cushion, which quietly makes the whole thing feel less like furniture and more like theirs.

WHY A NAME MATTERS

There is something disarmingly simple about seeing your own name stitched into something you own. For a child, it says: this is mine, not on loan, not shared, entirely theirs. When your Gulmohar Lane Story House arrives with your child's name delicately embroidered on its signature round cushion, it becomes more than a playhouse;

it becomes their own little home for stories, adventures, and endless imagination. A little space to call their own. A place for their stories.

CURATED COMPANIONS FOR YOUR STORY HOUSE

A Story House rarely stays empty for long. Soon enough, it fills up with a favourite soft toy propped in the corner, a spare cushion for extra lounging room, a blanket for the days that call for a little more warmth. It's a small, considered start to building out a child's own corner of luxury home decor at home.

If you're setting up a Story House of your own, a few companions to consider: A soft toy or two from our edit of soft toys and accessories — a penguin, perhaps, or a dinosaur — to keep watch over story time and give the space its own small cast of characters. An extra cushion cover, chosen from our cushion covers online edit, in a print that speaks to their world, layered in for a little more colour and comfort against the quilted base. A throw or blanket folded at the entrance, ready for the afternoons that turn into naps halfway through a story. None of it needs to match perfectly. That's rather the point. A Story House is built to be filled slowly, with whatever a child chooses to bring in — until it feels less like a product, and more like a place. As with every piece from Gulmohar Lane's premium furniture online collections, it's a small investment in a home that's built to be lived in, not just looked at.
