This nautical windowseat is the perfect spot to steal a cat nap.It provides a cozy little shelter within a large, high-ceilinged, open room.

Providing comfortable seating next to a desk area lets students settle in to read long texts comfortably. I remember putting of a book report of a 500-page novel (yes I did) until the day before it was due. I spent three hours in my window seat, tucked away reading--and the afternoon has remained a favorite high school memory. Totally got an A, which disproved my parents' No Procrastination Can Be Good theory.

Small spaces like this are surprisingly easy to carve out. What at first glance can seem as a savvy spot for adults can serve as an ideal place for children to tuck into. The drawers beneath can easily hide books and toys and a small CD player for music time.

Many parents think that white is a bad idea in a kid's room. It gets dirty easily and it's not very fun, right? Wrong. A bright white room accented with different colors can be great for kids if you do it correctly and just don't worry about the dirt!

In an older girl's room, incorporating touches of color surrounded by much white can create a delicate and unique look. Mixing prints, especially lighter ones, can create an interesting and more "girly" aesthetic.

Aesthetics: This is where it gets muddy, especially if the sharing kids have divergent tastes. A good first step is to choose a color scheme that everyone can agree on - often that means sticking to simple basics. Same goes for patterns - straightforward stripes or polka dots are universal and create a good base upon which to build. Once the basics are established, each kid can dress up his zone with an accent color and accessories of his own.

This cozy nook is an ideal spot for a daybed.

Create cozy spots for unwinding and reading. The circular window recalls a ship's porthole.

Extra bed on third floor?

i keep craving a nook like this in kitchen - where kids can hang out in the early morning hours while i prepare breakfasts/lunches before school...LR seems a tad too far away from me and kitchen stools are hard on sleepy bodies...
