For design lovers who have kids or grandkids, it’s important to have a home that not only represents your tastes, but also feels functional enough for your little ones. That’s why we end up with more stuffies than we’d like, washable couches, and the baby playpen in the middle of the living room. Sometimes we have to give up on the aesthetics for a bit; sometimes not. If your child has graduated to a playhouse, we’re here to inform you that this is one of those cases where you don’t have to sacrifice style for kids’ play toys. In fact, we found 14 beautiful playhouses right on Amazon.

That’s right; Amazon sells hundreds (yes, hundreds) of playhouses that you can order today and find on your doorstep mere days later. If you just gasped at the sheer amount on offer, worry not. We only picked the most beautiful ones that you’ll love as much as your kids will. After all, these playhouses will be on display all year, so they may as well be attractive, right? Trust us; you won’t find any eyesores on our list. Imaginative play just got a massive style upgrade, and we are all for it.

The cool thing about this playhouse is that it has a split front door that can be opened from the bottom or top, depending on how they want to play with it. Windows on all sides allow them to see outside comfortably, while extra features like a mailbox, plant box, bench, blackboard, and a play kitchen area with a toy sink, faucet, and cookware accessories allow them to practice being a restaurateur and creating imaginative recipes.

For the active child, there’s no better way to play than to spend time “indoors” then head right outside to hop on the swing. They can move freely between the different zones without supervision, leaving you to enjoy that book or crochet project a few feet away.

If the whole family likes to camp, but you can’t do it often, this is the playhouse to get to keep the fun vibes going right in your own backyard. For under $300, you get this gorgeous camper van setup along with an accessory set consisting of 52 pieces of play items, including a pot, tongs, an oven mitt, trays, plates, utensils, and play food like s’mores and burgers that click and stick together.

You may not be able to buy an adult-size cottage for $600, but you can certainly find a petite one for your kids. This one features a magnetic Dutch door, charming windows, and a fenced area with two wooden flower pots. A bench allows their friends to “drop by” for a snack and playtime.

You really can’t beat a playhouse this charming. It is one of those playhouses that, as an adult, you’re tempted to buy a full-size version to live in because it’s just that adorable. From the navy paint to the white gingerbread trim, this Victorian-inspired set will become the hot spot for all of the neighborhood kids.

This cottage-like playhouse is for the future architects of the play group. With its covered terrace, slate-like roof, and high-contrast palette, this high-design playhouse is not for the kids without an appreciation for style. We have a feeling that whichever lucky kid gets to call this their spot has an eye for fashion.

Suitable for little ones as young as three, this sunny spot takes the playpen up a notch: It’s covered and contained but not so much that your baby may feel too restricted and get bored or fussy. There’s plenty to do, including people-watching from the exterior bench, watering the flowers in the window boxes, and indoor yoga, if that’s their thing.

This elevated swing has all of your usual suspects—swings, a ladder, and a slide—plus a play kitchen with a bench.
