KIDTROPOLIS DOORS TRANSFORM A CHILD’S SPACE
INTO A JOVIAL ROOM FOR GROWING IMAGINATION
Vienna, VA (April 8, 2008 ) – Moms-to-be love to design cozy nurseries with beautiful bedding, whimsical wall coverings and colorful curtains. In a few years the room may get an update to include a big boy’s bed, a superhero bedspread and posters. But why doesn’t anyone consider the gateway to the child’s word … the utilitarian door?
Thanks to the creative team at Kidtropolis, a Virginia-based design studio, the door to a child’s bedroom, playroom or basement is an untapped resource for growing imaginations. Caregivers will delight in their Dutch door design where safety is given high marks and peeking in on the kids is irresistible. A clever mini-door is built into the bottom-half design, allowing toddlers to tweens to crawl, wiggle and giggle their way into the day.
Enter the virtual design studio at kidtropolisdoors.com and download an easy-to-understand PDF document listing the doors’ full specifications and sizing information. Do you prefer your door to swing in or out? To the right or to the left? Choose classic or modern details such as a rounded or square door. Options include mini-door sizes from 28 to 36 inches high.
Trendy online blogs such as UrbanBaby Daily and ParentDish.com have picked up on Kidtropolis’ notion of custom-made spaces for children.
“The lively colors and enchanting motifs of our designs.” explains Kidtropolis co-founder Chris Jones, “will personalize rooms, provide the family years of enjoyment, and enhance the resale value of your home. Our high-quality personalized doors add fun and interest to a room before you have even entered it.”
Each solid birch-core door is built to fit a standard size doorframe for easy installation. The mini-door provides a child unique access to their room and when locked provides the parents the safety typically requiring an unsightly baby gate.
At Kidtropolis, old-fashioned expert craftsmanship is paramount. This extraordinary spirit and attention to detail allows every order, no matter what the size or scope, to live up to the highest artisan standards. Every door is made in America and built “kid tough.” Specifics such as hinges and doorknobs are explained in detail online. Delivery for customized orders is just 2-4 weeks.
Benefits of a Dutch Door
The traditional Dutch door comes in two sections, a top and a bottom that swing open. But a Kidtropolis Door is designed for kids, hence a third adorable (and patent-pending) mini-door tucked inside the bottom portion. Kidtropolis understands that their unique mini-lower doors provide a true feeling of ownership for the child and their room. The open Dutch door design is perfect as a baby gate and much more interesting to look at! The solid wood door keeps sound out (or sound in) when the door is closed. A handy sliding gate lock is included to lock the bottom portion in place. The door’s top half swings open and closes separately from its bottom half, maintaining great ventilation and a clear view into the room. Best of all for neatnik caregivers, the door keeps clutter confined and out of view.
