The many homes we have featured over the years prove one important thing: kids’ spaces don’t have to scream primary colors and television characters. Rather, the stylish homeowners who have filled the pages of our Interiors section have shown that children’s bedrooms, playrooms and even playhouses can and should be chic. To get some inspiration for future remodels and redecoration, we took a look back at a few of our favorites.
