The Story: "The main challenge was the size of this room—only 9 feet by 10 feet," says Hranowsky. Her solution: Keep furniture to a minimum (luckily, there are two closets for toys), and paint horizontal stripes on the wall to expand it visually. The stripes do their job handily, but we also love that this room doesn't "match" in a traditional sense—the carefree mix of shapes feels kid-appropriate and creates an unexpected harmony.
