Childhood is meant to be the best time of your life so make it extra special for your children by giving them a dream room to grow up in. From babies first days to the teenagers last few years at home, Creative Spaces for Kids offers fun, colourful and innovative ideas for all age groups. The practical mixes happily with the fantasy to create functional, attractive rooms a child will be happy to show off to their friends. Clearly illustrated and full of tips on decorating and handicrafts, this is a well-presented guide to home-decorating children's rooms. From the traditional pastel nursery through brightly-coloured toddler rooms to the more sophisticated teenage style, they encompass calm, stimulation, vibrancy, girly fantasy and boy's sportiness as befits the particular age group concerned. So if your child is clamouring for a newly decorated room or you're preparing for the arrival of a newborn, look no further for inspiration. All tastes, traditional and contemporary, are featured to ensure your child's room is not only a personal statement to them but fits in with the rest of your home too. - Lucy Watson
