  Many parents think decorating is something that happens after the kids grow up. But the anticipation of chocolate smears, juice stains and rough play doesn't have to resign parents to a home devoid of style. This guide goes beyond creating kid-specific spaces like nurseries and playrooms to decorating and organizing the entire home to help adults and kids co-exist in harmony and style. The key is establishing centres of activity for everything, from play and relaxation to grooming and schoolwork. Whether readers are anticipating a new baby or living with a teenager, this book offers clever solutions for establishing an environment that can adapt to the ever-changing needs of growing children. Useful tips and advice suggest great ways to store and organize kids' stuff; to create multiuse rooms that make the most of space; essential products and accessories that stand up to the wear and tear of kids yet appeal to an adult sensibility.
