CHILDREN S SPACES: FROM ZEN TO ZEN

Children's needs may seem obvious, but their demands change with alarming speed. Children's Spaces helps you to plan all the practical aspects of children's rooms and provides plenty of affordable ideas and inspiration when it comes to their design and decoration. Judith Wilson looks at rooms for children between birth and ten years old, with chapters on babies' rooms, rooms for girls (how to cope with the pink flowery phase), rooms for boys (how to avoid the military look) and shared bedrooms (how to create a room that works for both boys and girls). There are also chapters on sensible storage and areas that children and adults share - bathrooms, play areas, eating areas and outside space. Children's Spaces contains a wealth of inspiration drawn from the homes of real families, with real kids, which amply proves that children and great design can happily co-exist without compromising on style.
