A handful of fun-loving homeowners installed indoor slides in their homes. Here are the best interior design examples of houses with indoor slides inside.
Stainless Steel Slide in 425 East 13th Street Penthouse, New York
From architects:
The half-tube stainless steel slide starts on the top floor near the office, and lands below near both the living and dining areas. The sculptural slide is housed in a newly created 18' tall double-height space, which includes custom designed glass railings. The image of the stainless steel curves in front of the oversized window to the city beyond, to say nothing of the irrepressible glee of grown adults on the slide, is surprisingly poetic; with careful detailing, the playground element is an unexpectedly elegant addition to the space.

Mirror-Polished Stainless Steel Tubular Slide in Manhattan Apartment
 |
| Skyhouse |
From architects:
The entrance to a tubular slide, constructed from mirror-polished stainless steel, emerges through a circular hole cut in the seamless sloping glass partition at the south end of the Attic.
The cylindrical helical slide flares to an ellipse which is sectioned on the angle of the inclined glass wallresulting in a circular opening where the slide emerges through the glass. This circular opening creates an illusion of flatness contradicted by the sideways path of the slide as it begins its descent.
Visitors are invited to select a yellow cashmere blanket from the pile beside the entrance to speed their trip to the bottom….
The first leg of the slide passes through the attic glass, coils around the column and over the double-height guest bedroom, then slips through a second seamless glass window and out over the stair.
Windows in the slide admit natural light from the dormer windows and provide a fleeting vistas through the entire length of the penthouse.
To compete with the drama of the slide as it sweeps through the space and out the window to the stair, interior designer Ghislaine Vinas installed a startling mural, inspired by Michael Jackson’s Neverland, in the only vertical wall in the room. The saturated colors of the mural are fractured in the mirror polished facets of the slide, scatting patterns of color along the inner surface of the slide.
At the bedroom entrance a landing provides an opportunity to make a local stop at the third level or to re-enter the slide to continue down to the entrance level.
The lower slide coils down through the ceiling and into the Library on the main level, suspended from a single point within the floor structure above.
As it reaches the end, the helical slide tube flares out to create a distorted rectangular mirror which forms the wall of the Library and deposits the intrepid visitor back in the Entrance Gallery at the foot of the staircase.

Three Story Indoor Slide by LEVEL Architects
From architects:
I thought about incorporating the slide as playground equipment as a flow line of the building. Climb to the top floor at the stairs and go to the lowermost floor with a slide. By placing a slide in the daily flow line, the entire building became a playground instead of "a house with a slide," becoming a "slide-centric housing."

Beautiful Indoor Wood Slide
Scott A. Jones believes that home should be a gathering place for friends and a family getaway, so he designed his house to be technologically-advanced, whimsical and smart. Space of that friendly and smart environment involves a 28-foot beautiful indoor wood slide on the outside of a spiral wood staircase. Scott Jones even won an MTV cribs award for Best Crib, so the house is fun to hang out.
