So far this month we’ve talked about taming toys, curbing kids’ clutter, and stylish storage bins, but what about how real families incorporate their children’s things into their homes? For those parents who don’t want to relegate their children’s play things to the bedrooms or aren’t lucky enough to have a designated ‘play room’, here are twenty stylish spaces that make room for the kids too:
