Recent years brought a major shift in kids’ interior design and aesthetics. By taking an increasingly cautious approach to decorating their children’s spaces, millennial parents enable the introduction of more sophisticated toys and designs on the market. More than ever before, design for kids is now visually appealing to both adults and their little ones, allowing products to blend seamlessly into the rest of the home.

Kids’ furniture, decor, and toys are seen as an opportunity to nurture the connection between parents and their little ones. Toys are often designed with parents in mind, encouraging more engaged and inspiring intergenerational playtime. Seeking out what speaks to their inner child, parents are choosing refined color schemes and distinctively elegant shapes that can often be considered art.
Once the kingdom of consumerist practices producing a devastating amount of waste, the baby and children’s market is now turning to a more considered and conscious approach. Sustainability becomes the number one priority when it comes to kids’ design, and not only in terms of production and recycling.
Multifunctional and easily adaptable pieces that grow with the child and thus reduce the need for buying new things become the most sought-after products for modern families. By reassuring parents that their choices are not just convenient (time-, money- and space-saving), but also environmentally friendly, smart kids’ brands and retailers are future-proofing their strategies for seasons to come.
If you are looking for an update on the popular kids' brands that are going to be relevant in children’s bedroom design in the year to come, check the list below.
