Many people assume that becoming a parent means sacrificing a stylish interior, but these creatively designed homes show that it doesn’t have to be that way. When lifestyle journalist Joni Vandewalle’s daughter was born she was disappointed to discover that in most home styling magazines children’s rooms and play areas are expertly concealed. In this book she profiles the homes of 25 young families, where toys brighten up the interior, kids are a source of energy and joy, and parents don’t think twice about sacrificing living space to give their kids cleverly styled bedrooms, colourful play areas and creative storage. The result? More than 200 pages of interior design tips on how to create a stylish, warm and happy family home for young parents and parents-to-be.
