The first thing parents should keep in mind is never to overdo any theme. Kids might love the theme now but kids by nature are fickle about their choices and as they grow their choices and perceptions keep changing. Therefore, rather than designing the room according to a single theme that the child will outgrow and get bored of, try and accessories the room in a way that it directs your kids towards a hobby. A hobby or a passion is something that will remain with the kids and will deepen their experience and aspirations. While designing the room focus on how the room will work for your kids and designing it accordingly.

Furnishing and accessories are very important part of any room. For kids’ room, Lora Appleton suggests to use pieces that anchor the room. Accessories the room with things that your kids love and make sure they are solid enough to last for a long time. If your kids love to read then you can get accessories inspired from their favourite books.

Appleton herself isn’t a fan of miniature adult pieces for kids but she suggests to try out Gaetano Pesce’s Up5 chair and Bertoia chair. She believes these pieces are worthy of investments and parents should consider them as a option to have them for children’s work space.

Finances is an important factor that dictates how one should go about designing their space. The common problem that arises with most of the people is the understanding of where to splurge, where to invest and where to save. For this issue, Lora Appleton suggest to invest in lifetime pieces, something that would last for a long time and would also be a source of encouragement and inspiration for your children. Things like bedding and curtains are easy to change and should not be splurged upon. She compares the room to a body and suggests to make expenses on bones and structures.

Appleton believes that one can start instilling a sense and love for design in their children through their room. A child begins to learn from their own space first. The space acts as a foundation to everything that he will learn next. What they observe from their room is what they take ahead with them.
