apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Other People's Nurseries

2007.03.21.location1.jpgWe all read shelter magazines. Let's face it, browsing through them to see beautifully executed and immaculate living spaces is addicting. And sure, we are willing to suspend disbelief and pretend that those people always happen to have gorgeous, rococco displays of fresh cut flowers in artfully placed vases and great great grandmummy's china out on the dining room table, but what irks us to death is how rare it is for these home tours to feature, or even show, childrens' rooms.

Do these editors not understand that we need as much inspiration for our nurseries and kids rooms as we do for our kitchens and living rooms? They are denying our need to play design voyeur, which is why we enjoy peeking into LocationWorks online library when we are curious to see how other people are designing their kids rooms. Below the jump, a few of our favourites.

 
 

This yellow, and the built-ins - fabulous!

Look at the great heart shaped folding chair.

Those built-ins!

We hope all location scouts start putting their location libraries online. for now, check out this resources of children's rooms and teenager rooms if you are looking for a little inspiration. Where else (besides AT: The Nursery, of course!) do you look for inspiring childrens' room design?

Well, not so much for design ideas, but for stories/posts about great pieces individually I also love to look at babygadget.net!

I'm assuming that heart-shaped folding chair (above) is for an adult, or a tweenie member of the family, based on its height.

Living Etc has plenty of kid's rooms in the residences they feature, along with emphasis on family dwellings with more than two kids. Their features on kid's bedrooms cover a range of room sizes and consider that the bedroom is often a play room, too.
