9 Modern Kids' Rooms That We're Swooning Over

Sure, their main purpose is a practical one, but the multicolored built-ins by Eisner Design in this Ardsley, NY, home also become the visual focal point of the room (a basement that serves as a playroom/workout space for Mom and Dad).

These cool chalkboard cubbies are situated perfectly to give kids easy access to what's inside. No standing on tippy-toes to try to peek inside or constantly calling Mom or Dad for help required.

Wait — where are the toys?! Ossolinski Architects in Washington DC made built-in storage a priority in this versatile playroom. And we're willing to bet it doesn't look this neat and tidy all the time.

This fun-filled playroom on Park Avenue may be part of an incredibly glamorous home, but once you step foot in here, it's all kids, all the time. The cool lucite table and chairs add an element of modern design.

Nothing about the Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair in baby Spencer's room screams "nursery," but it's superstylish, and it totally makes the room. Trust your gut. If you have to buy a comfy chair, go with the one that speaks to you, even (and especially!) if it's not what every other mom in town has.

Here's a creative solution to turning one room into two distinct spaces. In this Brooklyn townhouse, Coburn Architects created this whimsical wall that's both functional and fun.

This room may not have looked big enough to serve as a homework station for four, but thanks to some efficient planning, Renewal Design + Build created an inviting desk space where siblings can sit together without being on top of each other.

If your home doesn't have a dedicated playroom, there's no need to despair. Smart organization ensures that kids can hang out in their bedrooms and still rest there without being inundated with toys and distractions.

It's hard to believe that this space is in a basement, isn't it? Chevy Chase, MD-based Wentworth Inc. kept things light and bright (check out those cool ceilings) to give an underground hangout a breath of fresh air.
