8 Great Kids' Rooms

For Young Scholars

A small, awkward space on the second floor was treated as an old-fashioned study for the children, whose rooms are on either side.

Painted a medium blue that shifts with the light, the space was furnished with plush chairs also upholstered in shades of blue -- in durable, stain-resistant Ultrasuede. Maps and a globe set a lightheartedly learned tone.
