In 'Children's Spaces' Judith Wilson, a mother of two, shows how homes can be adapted for children without surrendering order and good taste, while also ensuring that children have their own spaces to enjoy. For childrens own spaces, you can plan for growth so that a baby's bedroom can quickly be adapted to suit an energetic toddler. For shared spaces, choose flooring that will take a bashing and is easy to wash, and protect surfaces that you care about. Opt for colours that provide a good background for a sea of primary-coloured plastic and allow plenty of storage space for toys. Judiths wise and witty text, combined with photography by Debi Treloar, captures the potential for a harmonious and stylish mix of children and home.
