A baby brings the promise of new beginnings, not least when it comes to decorating a kids’ room. But whether you’re designing a nursery from scratch, overhauling an already existing space, or updating a room for a quickly growing little one, the possibilities are endless. Perhaps no one knows that better than New York–based designer Susana Simonpietri, creative director of Chango & Co., who creates interiors that blend classic elements with contemporary finishes. The same is true in the children’s rooms she has designed. Here, we’re revealing the incredible before-and-after transformations of four unique kids’ rooms, each showcasing vibrant color and whimsical design details for a look that’s all its own. Read on for tips on how to decorate with personality and a playful spirit.
