CHILD’S PLAY Designer Eileen Marcuvitz of Plum Interiors created this colorful space full of swanky storage and kid-friendly fun potential. “This fun, vintage-looking playroom is an intentional mix of cool and colorful,” Marcuvitz says. “It was designed for a family with a precocious 8-year-old who loves to play board games and chess with his friends and parents. We included plenty of comfortable seating and installed a colorful storage unit inspired by a vintage one I had seen on a visit to Paris.” Naples (pluminteriors.com)
