Many people assume that becoming a parent means sacrificing a stylish interior. But it doesn’t have to be that way. When lifestyle journalist Joni Vandewalle’s daughter was born she was disappointed to discover that in most home styling magazines children’s rooms and play areas are expertly concealed.

The result? More than 200 pages of interior design tips on how to create a stylish, warm and happy family home for young parents and parents-to-be.
