Style and child-friendliness are not mutually exclusive. These homeowners have found clever ways to provide spaces for gathering, homework, art, kicking off muddy shoes, corralling jackets and toys and spending some time together as a household. Here are six houses we’ve toured that work for all ages.

A bright blue accent wall in this youngster’s bedroom is so fresh and pleasing. Be aware that the major pieces such as the rocker and shelves, and accessories such as the pendant and rug are not babyish or themed. While this child grows up, his chamber will grow with him. It might also easily change into a guest room with a different bed and accessory editing.
