Looking for some guidance to help get the gears in motion? We’ve got you covered! Below, we spoke to a handful of designers and decorators who are no strangers to decorating whimsical and practical kids rooms. Instead, Brown suggests focusing on implementing furniture, accessories, and design elements that are still playful and imaginative but also allow for long-term use. For example, instead of a princess or safari mural, opt instead for fun block patterns, different shapes, or something still visually stimulating like a custom woodwork pattern that doesn’t age out. Make sure it’s comfortable and allows for children to invite their friends, siblings, and family members into the space to comfortably read and grow with them.
