The Celebrity and their kids

Several A-list celebrities, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sandra Bullock, Jessica Alba, Jessica Simpson and, of course, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, either have adopted young children or have one of their own.

With these lifestyle changes in mind, what do celebrities want in a home? While they may have wanted a swim-up bar and sauna 10 years ago, many celebs now are looking for family-friendly homes with swing sets, playhouses, and giant kids rooms.

Unless you’ve been to the Jolie-Pitt compound in France, no one can say for certain, but here are some ideas for dream spaces for Suri, Blue-Ivy and other celebrity kids.

Designer Bedrooms

First and foremost, parents are concerned where their kids lay their head at night. Not only does the room need to be safe and comfortable, but if you’re a celebrity, it needs to be stylish as well.

Most little boys like boats so we can picture someone with a bunch of boys ,we’re looking at you Mrs. Beckham would  opt for bedroom with an ever-so-proper nautical theme, like the home pictured below on the Mercer Island real estate market. All you need is a boat bed, some paddles and buoys and you have a room that any sailor would be proud of.

Where there are little girls involved you can’t deny the kids princess fantasy

Therefore a bedroom will be outfitted for a little princess, complete with a castle tower built into the room. And of course, pinks and purples rule the color scheme.

Playroom

A celebrity kid can’t be expected to play in their room all day, which is why the next requirement for a celebrity kid’s home is a giant playroom perfect for Matchbox cars, dress-up and hide-n-seek.

Backyard

A celebrity kid’s backyard just wouldn’t be complete without a proper fort.

For the more adventurous kind, the best fort would be a tree house .The wooden structure sleeps 12 and is outfitted with comfy bean bags, a sleeping loft and paper lanterns for light

Pool

The last element for the perfect celebrity kid’s home is a pool but not just any pool. The pool not only needs to be big enough for some major Marco Polo action, but it most likely will need at least a slide.

But if we’re like any doting celeb parent, we’ll need to do a little better on the slide and get one that wraps around the side of a rock wall, not to mention a pool basketball hoop and fountain to round things out.
