The August 2010 edition of Bolig Magasinet features the home of Danish designer Sofie Schnoor. This functionalist villa near Copenhagen is decorated the Danish way; sleek Scandinavian with lots of creativity and charm. One eye-catching decor feature is the meter-high photos of the children standing (not hanging!) here and there. In the hallway, on a cabinet and as a focal point in the dining room. This is a very nice, and trendy, extension of the photowall feature combined with the oh so hot unframed paintings style. Personalized decor at its best!

I don’t have any kids. Yet! So I haven’t ever thought in terms of decorating children’s rooms. However, I have seen a lot of sloppy kids’ rooms. As if they did not agree to be furnish fine or *has* to be decorated in a completely different way than other rooms in a home. Of course, childrens’ rooms must be practical and tailored to games and other pursuits. But they can still be stylish! Three interesting examples, all including recent trends:
