Library in the Clouds

Next: Under the Sea

For children who love to keep their noses buried in books, this library loft is a fairy-tale ending. Inspired by the Dr. Seuss book Oh, the Places You'll Go, designer Felicity Chapman, of I.S. Design in Los Altos, Calif., designed this room for smarts and whimsy.

As parents of little bookworms know, book collections often outgrow their bookshelves. Chapman not only gave the little literati room to grow her collection, but she also added some fun and useful touches: The lower cabinets store toys in easy-to-remove baskets and the inner panels have magnetic paint. "The doors are functional for storage, but they are also great places to practice spelling and to display [artwork]," Chapman says.

The oversized floor pillows and window seat create cozy reading nooks where a child can dive solo into her favorite story or cuddle up with a parent for some quality reading time.
