Think of your child’s room as a little world they can shape and reshape whenever inspiration strikes—even the celebs do it. We take cues from Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s kids’ rooms, where AD100 designer Jake Arnold helped turn a Beverly Hills home into a luminous playground of soft hues and playful details.
Start with a calm backdrop—soft walls, simple floors, plenty of daylight—then let the fun begin. Tuck a reading nook into a corner with floated cushions and fairy lights to make story time feel like a secret adventure. Roll out butcher paper on the wall or paint a chalkboard patch so the room itself becomes a canvas for wildest ideas.
Choose furniture that grows with them: an adjustable desk for homework today and crafts tomorrow, stackable cubes that can become seats or shelves, even a loft bed with a cozy hideaway beneath. Textured panels or magnetic walls invite little hands to explore, and a mix of rugs and pillows creates soft landing spots for jumping, lounging, or plotting the next grand scheme.
Finally, sprinkle in personal touches—frame their latest masterpiece alongside family photos, spell their name in oversized letters, or give them a shelf to showcase treasured rocks and shells. A twist of color on the ceiling, a strip of LED lights they can dim or recolour and a whimsical mobile overhead mean discovery isn’t limited to what’s at eye level. Before you know it, you’ll have a space as flexible, curious, and endlessly surprising as the child who lives in it.
