Product Description
Product Description
In "Children's Spaces from Zero to Ten", interiors writer stylist and mother of two Judith Wilson shows how homes can be adapted for children without surrendering order and good taste, while also providing children with their own spaces to explore and enjoy. Whether you're adapting a sophisticated, child-free zone for the arrival of a new baby or starting from scratch because your small children have outgrown your current home, some serious thinking is required. Children's needs may seem obvious, but their demands change with alarming speed, making planning ahead a necessity. This is even more crucial with a new baby. As unlikely as it seems, that gurgling infant kicking on a blanket will all too soon demand a space and life of its own. "Children's Spaces from Zero to Ten" helps you to plan all the essential 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 multiple occupants). 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 from Zero to Ten" won't maintain your hard-won, carefully designed space at the expense of your children's physical or creative freedom. Instead, it contains a wealth of inspiration drawn from the homes of real families, with real kids, which amply prove that children and great design can happily coexist without compromising on style.

Appeals to all tastes,
By Leontine Jena (Sydney, AUSTRALIA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Children's Spaces: From zero to ten (Hardcover)
This book is fantastic, it has a wide range of contemporary, classical and eclectic designs (with a unique twist). This book is overflowing with great unusual ideas, however reading it just once won't do the book any justice. The stockist and suppliers page at the back of the book is invaluable, as most items in the book is easily accessible (eg:IKEA). If you like plain, boring frilly bedrooms, then this book is NOT for you!

Awesome Ideas,
By Karen (Manhattan Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Children's Spaces: From zero to ten (Hardcover)
This is a truly beautiful book. And it's about time it came along. No more circus animals painted on walls and other run of the mill decorating ideas. These are beautiful - modern ideas for creating spaces for children. Look out Martha Stewart.
