Orange Gender Neutral Kids' Bedroom Ideas and Designs
Soucie Horner, Ltd.
Warmly contemporary, airy, and above all welcoming, this single-family home in the heart of the city blends family-friendly living – and playing – space with rooms designed for large-scale entertaining. As at ease hosting a team’s worth of basketball-dribbling youngsters as it is gathering hundreds of philanthropy-minded guests for worthy causes, it transitions between the two without care or concern. An open floor plan is thoughtfully segmented by custom millwork designed to define spaces, provide storage, and cozy large expanses of space. Sleek, yet never cold, its gallery-like ambiance accommodates an art collection that ranges from the ethnic and organic to the textural, streamlined furniture silhouettes, quietly dynamic fabrics, and an arms-wide-open policy toward the two young boys who call this house home. Of course, like any family home, the kitchen is its heart. Here, linear forms – think wall upon wall of concealed cabinets, hugely paned windows, and an elongated island that seats eight even as it provides generous prep and serving space – define the ultimate in contemporary urban living.

THEME This playroom takes advantage of
a high ceiling, wide floor space and multiple
windows to create an open, bright space
where a child can be a pirate boarding a
captured ship, a chef in a cafe, a superhero
flying down the slide, or just a kid swinging
on a tire.
FOCUS The tower and slide promise
fun for all — even from the doorway. The
multi-level structure doubles the play area;
leaving plenty of room for a workbench,
LEGO table, and other mobile toys. Below
the tower, there is a chalkboard wall and
desk for the young artist, as well as a toy
microwave and food items for the budding
chef. Brilliant primary colors on the walls
and a sky blue ceiling with clouds create an
entirely pleasant environment.
STORAGE To accommodate a multitude
of toys of varying sizes and shapes, the
room is equipped with easily accessible,
mobile and stationary storage units. Colorcoordinated
baskets, buckets, crates and
canvas bags make cleaning up a bit easier and
keep the room organized. Mindful that the
number and types of toys change as children
age, the shelving unit features floating boards
and adjustable pegs.
GROWTH Designed as a family
playroom with growth in mind, the room
suits the needs of children of various ages.
Different elements can be added or retired,
and older children can keep more mature
toys and games on higher shelves, safely out
of a younger sibling’s reach. Lower shelving
is reserved for the youngest child’s toys,
books, and other treasures.
SAFETY To minimize the bumps and
bruises common in playrooms, exposed
screws and bolts are covered by plastic
molds or rope twisted around metal joiners.
Elastic netting protects openings on the
tower’s upper levels, while playroom
activities can be monitored via any
television in the house. Smaller kids are kept
off the upper levels with the use of climbing
net and rock wall anchors.

The loft-style camphouse bed was planned and built by Henry Kate Design Co. staff. (The one it was modeled after wasn't going to fit on the wall, so we reverse-engineered it and did it ourselves!)
