Marketing - Furniture / Household Appliances
German term or phrase: Wohlfühlraum
Heading for a website selling accessories for nurseries/children's bedrooms:

WOHLFÜHLRAUM KINDERZIMMER

Needs to be kept short, as a heading. Grateful for any snappy ideas that don't sound to corny or long-winded (as mine do at the moment)

neutral  Johannes Gleim: Would work with verbs like 'create a' cosy place/room, but this was not meant in the headline.

Wohlfühlraum Kinderzimmer
A feel-good space for your child


Explanation:
https://www.google.com/search?q="a feel-good space for "&oq=...

1) Seven chars longer, but still manageable.
2) I think the second person possessive 'your' adds personal appeal.
3) Wohlfühl > feel-good (OK in marketing context and sticks closer to the original)

FEEL-GOOD SPACES FOR KIDS
Same number of chars as the original (25)! Depends on how tolerant you are of 'kids' for 'children'.

agree  Johannes Gleim: 'feel-good place or space' is sufficient. For context translation you can add 'for childen'.
