A designer and her daughters opt for pink and pattern in a kid-friendly space that’s pretty playful.

“I love to use bright and cheerful wallpaper,” says designer Jo Smeeth of INDA Interiors in Clear Lake, Ont. Her daughters’ playroom was the perfect place for it. The girls (ages five and six) helped pick the pattern and the palette; then Jo made clever choices for fun and function. “Kids are typically very wiggly, so we chose poufs to provide comfy seats they can tussle around in while at the table,” she says. A round table offsets the squareness of the room and eliminates corners for fewer bumps and bruises during indoor tag. Shelving contains the clutter, and a big flamingo is just pure plush fun.
