Hey Guys! WHERES' MY MOMS/GRANDMAS/PARENTS?!?!? I'm SOOOOO excited to finally touch a subject SO many of you have been asking about, KIDS SPACES!!!! Be sure and let me know what you think in the comments below, and if there's anything specific I didn't cover, Let me know so we can deep dive in the club!!!! xoxoxox. L
I am living for this video! Lol, most of the other videos, though super entertaining and what I aspire to have one day, aren’t necessarily attainable at the moment with a 3 year old! 🙈 Love this! ❤️
These tips are fantastic. One overarching idea that I would add would be: Design something more mature if you want it to last, and avoid themes that too literal as far as your kids' interests go. It's really tempting to do something super. super cute, or let your child go hog wild decorating their room in Star Wars or whatever, but kids change super quickly. If you let your three year old deck out their room in lavender with Princess Sophia everything, she'll hate it when she's six. If you let your ten year old do a Hogwarts theme at eleven, he'll probably hate it when he's a teen. It's really easy for a favorite thing to become a least favorite thing. Same goes for colors. Your precious princess may adore pink at ten, and want black at twelve. If you choose a broader theme, you can change out accents according to what they're interested in. Nature themes work, and you can add pretty much anything to them. You can have princesses or nights or whatever. It's all good. Nautical is great. You can make it more whimsical with mermaids, pirates, sea creatures, whatever. Space transitions really, really well. If you take out the planets, rockets, stars, etc. you get a really dramatic moody space that would make a lot of teenagers very jealous. Neutrals are great. You can add whatever their favorite color of the moment is without having to worry about redoing the whole room. Even if you don't care about the expense of redecoration, it's better to design for the long haul. Paint isn't expensive, but do you really want to give up a vacation to paint your daughter's room because you painted it purple when she was four, and now she hates it and wants orange? $150 in paint is no big deal, but hauling all of their crap out of their room, finding somewhere to put it, painting for two days, and putting everything back is kind of a big deal when you could be spending time doing something fun as a family.
Multifunction items are a must! I have to agree with a couple of other commenters about the amount of "stuff" kids "need" and especially keeping it in a bedroom - does not make for relaxed kids and can instead be quite overwhelming. Mine are still little, but on the principle of good sleep hygiene, we use the bedroom for sleeping, dressing, and reading (part of nap and bed routines) only, and blackout curtains or shades are MUST! Playing and learning are done in other parts of the house. Because reading is part of our winding down routine, I do keep a basket of books in the baby's room, and a 3-shelf bookshelf with books for my preschooler (use magazine holders to help corral skinnier books and use as bookends).
Carly!! I LOVE hearing how all of you guys use your kid's rooms on a day-to-day basis!!! 🙌🏼 I like how you have separate rooms playing with relaxing/sleeping, great principles!!! 💕 Thank you so much for sharing this and for tuning in!!! 😋💕🌟
Hahaha YES, nobody needs to know what's inside that tent!!! 😅🤣 That's why storage baskets and bins are your buddies, you can just toss some items in there and it looks like you have your life together!!! 👏🏼😝
* Great Tips Lisa* . Loft beds are a winner in my book for small bedrooms, the downside is changing linens. The all-in-one sleeping bag style sets are perfect for loft beds (where were they when I had littles?). I always hated "character themed" rooms, I went with a design that could easily be upgraded for maturity milestones.
C!! Looks like you have a good head on your shoulders!!! 🙌🏼💛 The linens on the loft beds can definitely be a challenge, but you're totally right - those all-in-one sleeping bag styles are game-changing!!! They even have MANY different colors/designs!!! 🤩 I LOVE the approach of keeping the design pretty minimal of the characters themed rooms - perfect way to let the room grow up with the kiddos!!! 🥰🌟 THANK YOU for all the feedback and for tuning in this AM - I absolutely LOVE creating fun convos with you guys!!! 🤗💜💐
@@LisaHoltDesign I gave up on loft beds for my kids' rooms because I was soooooo tired of climbing the stupid ladder to change the bedding and also clear out all the stray food and other detritus my 7 year old would haul up there! LOL
Hi Lisa. I am curious about lighting solutions for a kid’s room. Are there some types you like better than others? Floor vs ceiling vs table? Would ceiling be the best to use knowing kids bang and break everything at their level? That would mean no task lighting….🙁
Great video tips! The loft beds are a perfect idea for any kid's room. Having a bed with extra storage is a great option since you can store additional toys, etc.
Great tips!!! Super happy that you kept the kids in mind and showed options with color! So many designers design for the parents and not the kids living in the room. Great video!!!
You are so right that we all need to use the footprint of the bed to house a lot more than just the bed, whether it's a play space or study area or crafting center. The real estate of the bedroom needs to be useful for more than sleeping, so kids can have quiet time in there or friends over when they are old enough to be a bit unsupervised for short periods. You gave us terrific examples. You are so right about trunks limiting use of the space above them or even what you can safely sit atop them. I particularly loved the examples of flooring you showed. I had not seen the one that is made of colorful striped pieces of carpeting. I am going to look that one up online among a few other options you presented to us. Thanks.
OMG Yes Philippa!! 💙💕 I am SUCH a fan of those super cute little loft bed spaces...plus you're totally right!! 👏🏻🌟 SO practical!! 💚 I'm soooo glad I could show off some looks that I LOVE to hopefully get YOUR creative gears turning...thank you SO much for tuning in this week!! 🌟😘
Lorena!!! You guys are the BEST - thank you so much for all the love on the channel!! 🥰❤️ Makes me super happy knowing you guys love my videos - you have NO IDEA!!! 😘 YAYY thank you for this sweet comment!!! 💗🌟🤩
I absolutely love this video and your enthusiasm about kids rooms. I was a bit hesitant to changing my home into a kids home.. but once I got all the storage in place I can really just keep most of the kids stuff in the one room and still have a beautiful home without toys everywhere. My absolute favorite are the foam tile floors. So easy to clean and can make interesting patterns etc. thanks for the video!!! Also since we have a travel theme going on since we have a kid with a lot of passports… we hung some really beautiful paper lanterns (with no light in them) and they look so nice
Amethyst!!! OMG I loveee reading this!!!! 🥰🥰 This is why I love making these videos - so we can alll bond over our fun spaces!!! 👏🏼Thank you so much for sharing this! Storage truly is KEY for the little ones so I am very glad that this tip has worked out for you!! 😉💜💜 And the paper lanterns - ADORABLE!!! 😍🙌🏼
I love the baskets with the stripes of colour. What a fun way to add some fun and great way to empower and teach the kiddos to put stuff away. A lesson that I'm still learning today. Happy New Week, Lisa. Cheers, Ivy.
YAY I am so glad you love those baskets I mentioned!!! 😍 Letting your kiddo be creative and feel empowered is such an important factor to include at such a young age - and you can apply that in their bedroom!!! 👏🏼🧡 Thank you so much for leaving this sweet comment, and welcome to our fun community Ivy!!! 😘🎉💗✨
You know it’s good design advice when it applies almost as well for other small spaces, e.g., a bedroom that doubles as an office (learning) & entertainment room (playing) with great storage features.
SO true Leo!!! Storage/organization applies to ALL rooms!!! 👏🏼💕 So glad you could grab this yummy info from this video - thank you SO MUCH for tuning in!!! 🥰🧡🤗
Lifting the bed so they have more floor space - brilliant! Love the tents, I bought my granddaughter a castle tent. 😂🥰❤️ Great tips and video content as always Lisa!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Performance oriented. I have two grandchildren, girls, each in their own room. One is 11, the other is 6. They are so close, you'd think they were twins. It's usually competitive closeness. The younger always wants what the older one has. When ever I send a gift to the older. The younger wants one too, and same when I send a gift to the younger one. I wonder what their rooms look like. Their both advanced for their grades, and they actually clean their rooms! I loved your samples Lisa. I already have in mind things to send them, ie, wall hangings, throw rugs, framed pictures, vase of flowers, desk set, accent lights, ukelele, bean-bag chairs, etc...Thanks Lisa.
Can you do a video on pet design in homes? Would love to hear some tips on how to make dog crates, play pens etc.. look nice and what merchandise you would recommend.
Dana!!! 💕 Pat friendly design is 100% on my list - I know we have JUST as many pet moms as kid moms on this channel!!! 💙🤩 I'm definitely planning on bringing you guys some tips for YOUR families - stay tuneddd!!!! 😉❤️
Anne!! We missed you!! ❤️❤️ We ran into some technical difficulties so our live was late today - no worries!!! 🙈 I am so glad that this video came out at the PERFECT time for you!!! Hopefully these tips could help you out on your new project!!! 😍🙌🏼💕
You got this Aliza!! 👏🏼 Redoing a bedroom can be pretty stressful, but enjoy the process of it all!! Don't rush into it! 😊 I am so glad that you found this video to be super helpful, thank you so much for all the support!!! 😘💕❤️
Hahah isn't my editor so quirky sometimes?! 🤣🤣 Thank you so much for this sweet comment Victor, so glad you guys are LOVING this highly requested video!! 🥰💗💗💗
Awesome advice! Wish I had this video when I was decorating my kids’ rooms years ago! I just winged it with some help from Pinterest. Those ikea storage units were a lifesaver! I loved the look of baskets for storage on the top shelf of closets, but they cost more than I was willing to spend, so I saved diaper boxes, cut the flaps off and covered them with burlap, added a decorative ribbon and they looked great for extra storage. They’ve lasted 12 years! My two youngest are in that transition stage, the toy days are done and they want a more “mature” space, and have developed their own style. It’s been interesting redoing their space, my daughters share a room so trying to bring in both of their styles has been interesting, one is neutral, the other is colorful, it’s a challenge😂
OMG Angela!!! 🤩👏🏻👏🏻 That is just BRILLIANT - I LOVE a good DIY!!! SO smart to use those diaper boxes!! 💚 I totally hear you about that tricky transitional phase that kids go through...but SO cool to see them doing their own thing and finding their design style!!! 💙 Thank you SO much for tuning in and sharing such a creative storage solution...I learn so much from you guys!!! 💕🥰
Again wonderful professional information Lisa! So light and bright and happy! I Love it!! 💕 Our daughter is expecting her first baby 🍼 I sent this so she can get excited about creating the Baby/ Child space.. I gave them play houses and tents when they were little .. so wonderful for keeping the children on a creativity spark! 🙏🍼🍭🍦🍬
Victoria!!! Aww how exciting - I am sure they are going to LOVE these tips for their first little one!!! 💖🤗 SUPER GLAD that you could pass all this yummy info along to them, thank you so much for watching and supporting!!! 🥰🍭💗
YAY Debra!!! 💚🥰 I knew we had some rockstar grandparents in the channel fam - SO glad i could share a few design tips for the kiddos in your life!!! 💕 This topic was just SO much fun to cover...thank you so much for joining me this week!!! 🤩❤️ You guys are the BEST!!! 🌟
Debra!! Thank you for all the love - I am so excited to hear how your grandchildren's rooms to turn out!! 😇💞 SO glad that these tips could help you out with this upcoming project!! 👏🏼💜💐
YES Gisselle!! 💚🌟 I always LOVE hearing that these videos are finding you guys at a good time...nothing I love more than helping out with your design dilemmas!!! 💙 SO glad I could help - thank you so so much for tuning in this week!! 😘💕
Our last little birdie just left the nest so I'm changing her room to a guest room! When my children were young, one of the best ways to keep it neater and better organized was to limit the number of toys they had with random visits from the Goodwill Fairy!
Awww Emily congrats!!! 💚🥳 Doesn't the time just fly?? LOVE your strategies for really establishing those clutter free zones...even in your kids' room!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Editing is SO important...but it sounds like you already know that!!! 💕😂 LOVE hearing all of you guys' stories in these comments...than you so much for joining me for some design fun this weekend!!! 🥰💙
Hi Lisa! Missed you Saturday morning! I don’t have children so I’m not sure this video is entirely for me, but there are still some handy tips here! Double-duty furniture is a must in any small space, and designing for function is also super important. I myself have defined spaces for sleeping, playing, learning, and storage; I’d even daresay that my playing space is larger than that of most childless adults because board games are my ultimate passion 🥰 so my living/dining space is taken up with tons of tables and chairs and game shelves! Thanks for the video! Lots of love, and stay well!
OMG Hey Johnathon - we missed you this week!!! 😘😘 Totally hear you on the whole not having kids thing...I know not everyone on this channel is a parent!! 😂❤️ I LOVE that you found a few things to be inspired by anyways...aren't these looks amazing?? 💚👏🏻 I TOTALLY agree that adults should make space to play and learn too - I love your approach!!! And what a cool hobby!! SO glad you could catch the video this week - see you soon!!! 🥰💙
OMG Jill!! 👏🏻💕 YAY!! 🤩🤩 This one is for you guys!! 🥰 Aren't these ideas just SO fun??? I know they really get MY creative juices flowing!! 🌟 SO glad I could share a few of my favorite tips with you guys this week...thank you so much for watching!! 😘💚
YES Ann!!! Isn't that just the COOLEST??? 👏🏻👏🏻 Forget the kids...I want one!! 😂💙 I LOVE the AMAZING creativity in some of these looks...just another reason this topic was so fun to cover!!! 🥰 LOVE that you caught that detail- great eye!!! 😉💚
As usual a fantastic video 😊👏👏👏. I definitely need to have block out blinds in my daughter's bedroom and she has always had a double bed, extra length. It's more comfortable for everyone to climb into bed and read books at the end of the day and if she is ill and one of us has to spend the night with her then there is plenty of room in the bed for both of us to sleep comfortably. Don't forget waterproof sheets, accidents will happen. And I love baskets, I bought some simple neutral ones and then added a cute trim to it. I wouldn't recommend spending too much money on your kids bedrooms, other than a really good mattress, they outgrown their bedroom decor very fast. Remember to have fun with it, I had an idea of what my daughter's bedroom should look like, but she had her own vision for it so I had to compromise on some things, it's not how I wanted it, but it's not my bedroom.😉
Ana!!!! 💕🤩 I LOVE this point about having FUN - designs should ALWAYS be fun, but especially when you're working with kids!!!! 💚 And these are some GREAT tips...I love this idea of getting a bigger bed if you have the space!!! 💙💙 Thank you SO much for tuning in this week and sharing some of your experience - I LOVE hearing from you guys on these topics!!! 😘
Lisa, how did interior designers find these beautiful unique products before the internet? Thinking bookshelves & closets filled with catalogs & hours of shopping. ☺️ My kids are all grown up now, but I love all of these products.
Great ideas - the mobile tip really inspired me as I’m in the process of transforming my daughter’s room from ‘baby’ to ‘big girl’. I have a whole vision now to DIY a big lighted mobile over her new bed (and yep I chose a bed with storage drawers lol).
Aurora!!! What an exciting project!!! I am so glad the mobile tip could help out with your transition phase!!! 😉👏🏼💕 That phase can definitely be harder to work with!!!
Loved.this video! I'm currently pregnant with my first child and I would really appreciate ( and I'm sure several other mother's would as well) a video on nurseries. 😊
D!!! OMG congrats on your pregnancy!!! 🥰 Make sure you are signed up for the Dezign Club!!! 😉 I am going to be talking a TON more about kid-friendly design/nurseries!!! Shoot me your email here www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub and I'll send you ALL the details about the launch and what we will be talking about there!!! 😍👏🏼💕 You don't wanna miss out on this!!!
OMG right Emma?? 💕🤩 Forget about the kids...I want some of these pieces in MY room!! 😂❤️ I LOVE how creative these designers get when it comes to spaces meant for kids...so many just SUPER cute ideas!! 💙🌟 SO glad I could share a few of my favorites - thank you so much for supporting my channel!!! 💚😘
Fabulous as always...but again distracted by your fabulous style and jewelry! LOVE that top with the stars! Brand may I ask? You always look so pulled together as I watch with bed head in my jammies! Goals...after coffee...☕😜
LUV it!!! I take at LEAST an hour to pull together before we shoot, so no miracles happening here! ;);) I don't remember that on off the top of my head, but All my jewelry, glasses and clothes will be linked in our club store, so be sure you're signed up, it's coming this a little later this summer!!! xoxoxo
OMG CM right?? 💚🤩 I'm absolutely OBSESSED with some of these looks...they've totally got my creative juices flowing!!! 🌟❤️ SO glad I could share all of this design fun with you guys - thank you SO much for tuning in again this week!!! 🥰💙
First off LOOOOVE the eyeglasses 💖💖 I have three little nephews so this vid is awesome to share with the fam especially the double-duty/multi-use goodies 👍👍
OMG thank you for the compliment!!! I just LOVE switching up my glasses in my videos - it's so funny that you guys point out the new pairs every time!! 😆👏🏼 You guys are my SUPER FANS!!! 🤩 Your family and their kiddos are going to LOVE these tips, thank you so much for sharing this with them!!! 💕🥰❤️
I absolutely LOVE THIS!! Thank you so, SO much for making this video (I’m the one who messaged you on IG saying I have no idea what I’m doing with my daughter’s room). I’ve decided to go with a little farmer’s market theme (to teach sustainability and healthy practices)! This is going to help immensely with my project!
Awww I LOVE hearing this Maya!!! ❤️❤️ SO glad that this video could bring a lot of clarity to what you wanted to do in your daughter's room!!! 😊 Thank you so much for sharing this and for tuning in this AM!! 🙌🏼✨🥰
Great suggestions, thank you! I know this isn’t on-topic with this video. I was wondering what your thoughts are on wallpaper in the kitchen as a backsplash- A video idea 😉
That is so true!!! Someone has mentioned that there are these really cool "sleeping bag" type sheets where it's an all-in-one deal and easy to put on a loft bed!! 👏🏼💕
DIY sighting: the first white basket is easy to crochet from tshirt yarn. The trio in tan, charcoal and sage are probably also crochet from what looks like a chenille yarn.
Awww Patty wow!!! Isn't it crazy how fast that happens??? 🥰🥰 SO glad I could bring you a little bit of nostalgia...aren't these looks cute?? 🌟😘 Thank you SO much for tuning in this week - and thanks for such a cute comment!!! 🤩💙
Loved the video! In your next kids’ room installment, could you please touch on rooms for two children? In our case it’s my two little granddaughters, one is 4-1/2 years old and the other one is 1-1/2. My daughter is putting them in one bedroom so that the other bedroom can be used as a playroom for both girls. Thanks❣️
OMG Nadia yay!!! 💚💚 I was thinking of all you moms out there when I made this vid - I'm SO excited to hear that it was helpful!!! 🥰 I will TOTALLY jot this idea down for the next video in this series...I know SO many families have kids share a room!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Definitely a whole new set of things to think about!! Thank you SO much for this great idea, and thanks for leaving such a sweet comment!! 😘💙
Yes! Some of us have more than one kid... three little boys with another on the way lol the amount of STUFF is insane!!! But this was an amazing starter video for readjusting some things and making more room as the space gets tighter...
Stephanie!!! 💚👏🏻 I will totally put toy storage on my list - I'm always SO excited to hear you guys' video ideas!!!! In the meantime though, my BIGGEST tip for toy storage is DEFINITELY baskets!! 🤩🤩 Just throw everything in and your done!!! 😂💙 Thank you SO much for tuning in and for leaving such a great suggestion - you guys are the best! 😘❤️
My kids are older now but since I’m remodeling my childhood home the multi purpose bed idea I will absolutely use. What do you suggest paint wise on the wall that will be easy to clean? My daughter is incredibly smart and very artistic so I planned on one wall being the black chalkboard paint but not sure what color would look best with the chalkboard wall and she doesn’t care on the color of the walls but I do as a designer and want to go with my color themes throughout the home without duplicating any colors.
Alisa!!! 🌟💕 Good question - this sounds like such a fun space!! When it comes to paints and cleaning, its all about finish!! 🤩🤩 For a bedroom I would normally go with a matte finish...but because you're planning on cleaning the walls go one step up to eggshell!!! 👏🏻 Hope this helps, and happy painting!!! 🥰💚
G!! 💚 That's definitely SO important to consider - just like anything with design, these decisions are SO personal!! 👏🏻👏🏻 If you're not comfortable with a loft bed set up, then there are TONS of other options!!! 🌟 It's all about doing whats best for YOU and YOUR kids!!! 💙 Hopefully I could show off a few looks that might work for you - thank you so much for tuning in this week!! 🥰💕
HI Lisa, love your videos and advice. I have a question about covering box springs. I want to get rid of my bedskirt. Ive heard you can cover the box spring with a fitted bed sheet. This way no more movement and dirt pile up like a bed skirt causes. Your thoughts and suggests please? FYI: I have a cast iron bed in brushed gold with a bit of black in it. I love it. It has a bar but not side panels like the new modern "box beds", not sure what they are called But you see these new beds in all the designer shows,
Hey Barbara, you've GOT it!!! That is my secret I always order another fitted sheet so the linens look goes all the way down. Good instincts!!!! xoxoxo
Lisa, I have a problem. My rooms are 3.5 x 3 on one side I have a Ducted heating vent in the floor under a floor to ceiling windows, on one narrow wall I have a three door built in wardrobe and then the other 3.5m wall has the entry door taking up space. I really don't have room for a large bed let alone a chest of drawers or a nursing chair when I have children. All of our bedrooms are the same layout. Any tips or tricks?
Oh Lisa I just love this kiddie z room video ♥️ ( being one myself and shamefully proud of it ) 🧸🎨 - the tent idea is fantastic the dolls house 🎯 space and easel🖼 elements are really darling 🎀 the llamas are lovey dovey and I think these furniture pieces would do great in an artist's Atelier - Perhaps not all will agree especially the old fogeys and other bogeymen but ceci n ' est pas grave -Thanks ever so much for this informative and cutely chubby video and take care ♥️🧸🙏🎇♥️ ♥️✨🙏
OMG Patricia!!! 🤩 Aren't these looks just SO fun??? 👏🏻👏🏻 I LOVE how creative designers get when working with kids...so cute! 💚 And how can't you love those ADORABLE little llamas!! 😂💕 SO glad you could tune in and join me for a little bit of design fun this AM...thank you so much for this super sweet comment!! 😘😘
Does kids in the US play in their rooms before age 6-7 ish? In my experience all the toys will end up where the action is e.g the kitchen and living room 😅
I found that kids prefer to sleep on a lower plane than a higher but you're right, loft beds creat so much space. What would you recommend for a performance rug that is more nuetral in tone?
This would be another fun deep dive to cover in a future video!!! 😍 I will definitely add this to my list of video ideas, thank you for sharing this Harlaine!! 💗📝 You guys have the BEST creative ideas!! 🥰❤️ 🌟
I don’t have fancy built ins but my daughters bed is 18 inches off the ground and she has beautiful crafted wooden toy storage that fit perfectly underneath the bed.
Yay Haydee!!! 💚👏🏻 SO glad I could share some of my FAVORITE kid friendly design tips with you guys this week...I don't know about you, but these looks got my creative gears TURNING!!!! 🤩🤩 Thank you SO much for joining me for design brunch this week - LOVE my channel fam!! 😘💙
Even though I don’t have kids, I have to watch a Lisa upload! And I may be able to pass on this info to a friend. Ps- mobiles should be 3 dimensional, because if it isn’t m, the baby only sees a line while lying down.
Marnie!!! YAY this makes me so happy!!! 🥰 Now whenever a friend or a family member is looking to design their kid's rooms, you can give some expert advice!!! 😝👏🏼 Hahaha thank you so much for tuning in and all the support! Love talking to you all in the comments!!! 😘💗🌟🤩
Rugs - great tips! Adding a deep dive comment to all - do NOT put a shag rug in a child's room. Children leave behind small Playmobil/LEGO landmines in the thick pile which eventually strike unsuspecting bare feet!! You've been warned!!
What is your opinion about bunk beds my wife is thinking of getting the boy's bunk beds the boys are 5 and 6 do you recommend bunk beds they have a small room
@@LisaHoltDesign and I love everything, as always, since it comes from you but... I need beautiful baskets to include in the playroom since I cannot handle visual clutter 🤦♀️.... any suggestions? The room is based on creams, browns and whites...
I love that this mainly focused on storage. I can't stand it when parents do a themed room for their child- a nursery is one thing, but for little kids I think it locks them into one aspect of their personality. We always got to choose the wall color and then we could change it all the time. I think we painted every other year. Then when we got older we naturally started designing our own spaces instead of it being a mom project. Always made us feel creative, listened to, and like we had ownership of the space (so you wanted to keep it looking nice).
Awww Blue I love this approach!!! 💚🤩 It is SO important for kids to feel like they have a say in their space...just like it's so important for them to take ownership of their own clean up!!! 💙🤩 If you're able to paint every other year, that is just AMAZING...what an exciting event for your kids!!! Thank you SO much for sharing this - and thanks for tuning in this week!!! 💕😘
Awww Lala this is too sweet!! 💚👏🏻 I have SO much fun making these vids for you guys...I was so excited to switch it up a little bit and talk about kids design for a week!!!! 🤩 SO many cute looks out there!! 😍Thank you SO much for tuning in and supporting my channel this week...it really does mean the world to me!! 🥰💙
Darla!! All of these photos I show for inspo are from various magazines + blogs (in the description) so I am not quite sure where it's from!!! If I know where products are from, I will link them in the description box!!! 😇🙌🏼💕💌
Both of my kids have used my toy box from the ‘70’s. And you’re right, if you want to access the toys, you can’t put anything on top. I used it to hide the nerf guns…from my husband! He would ambush me throughout the house. So, they were buried in the toy box and things were placed on the top making access difficult. It’s the really big kids you have to watch out for.🤣
OMG S this is SUCH a cute comment!!! 💚😘 Sounds like you have a WONDERFUL husband - so fun!!! 👏🏻💙 GREAT point that chests could be useful for hiding toys that you might not want to deal with every day...you guys think of everything!! 😂❤️
Can we get a video for guest rooms. Especially guest rooms with twin beds. We always see guest rooms with queen size beds and that’s great too. But some guest rooms have to sleep more than one person.
Lena!! Have you seen my recent video talking about bedroom hacks?! 🤩 I think that video will help you SO MUCH for your guest bedroom needs!!! 👏🏼🧡 Truly appreciate the support on the channel, thank you sooo much for watching!!!! 😘🌟💖
Here's a challenge.... How to re-design your medium size ( 10x10) bathroom with an Ugly porcelain Walk in Tub but make it elegant and chic.... perhaps a walk around walk in Tub with a fire place..... I have yet to see a bathroom using them to make every one want one.
Luckily I have no ankle-biters myself, but I'd watch Lisa read the phone book. Great energy, very fun, and I love that the advice is generally applicable. Storage solutions are good at any age! Also I'm 34 years old and I would love a tent. Thanks as always for a terrific and fun video, Lisa! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lisa, I love your videos. I have learned a lot about interior design. In this video, the reflections in your glasses were very distracting. I hope you can eliminate these reflections in future videos. Thanks, Lori
I love the idea of loft beds but people need to be aware of their ceiling heights if you get a raised bed and the child can’t even sit up in bed maybe that needs to be re-thought before they purchase it
Brenda!!! 🤩 SUCH a good point...just like with anything in design, its all about what works for YOUR space!!! 👏🏻💕 Definitely don't want your kids waking up and hitting their heads!!! 💚😂 Always SO important to think of these details...thank you so much for making this great point!!! 💙🌟
What’s a good way to give an 11 year old girl her purple wall request without painting a wall purple? This seems to be an age predictable request. Looking for options to deliver on the request in a way that she feels part of the process with a long term solution that she loves and will take her into her teen years with the occasional decor changes as she grows.
Maybe a decal that you can take off the wall in the future... I love the mcgee girls bedroom in their home because it's the perfect mixture of adult furniture but with a stylish decor for kids...
Painting is so quick and easy and undo-able, especially with just 1 wall. Personally, I would just paint and give her 2 or 3 years of enjoyment before her next color choice.
@@sarahrosen4985 Thank you for your feedback. We're actually looking for a designer touch answer that will satisfy all parties. My experience has been that many girls tire of the purple wall sooner than the parent has time to change, Looking for this to take her into teen years without painting again. The facts...it's for my granddaughter, her mom and I operate a pro organizing biz and need to get this room close to right the first time. We spend so much time in and on our biz that we don't want to change wall color too often. It's part of simplifying our lives.
Hey Guys! WHERES' MY MOMS/GRANDMAS/PARENTS?!?!? I'm SOOOOO excited to finally touch a subject SO many of you have been asking about, KIDS SPACES!!!! Be sure and let me know what you think in the comments below, and if there's anything specific I didn't cover, Let me know so we can deep dive in the club!!!! xoxoxox. L
I’m a mom 💚💜
Lisa change kid's to kids'
Loved the video and so timely! I left a question for you asking for a creative solution to painting a wall an extreme color.
I am living for this video! Lol, most of the other videos, though super entertaining and what I aspire to have one day, aren’t necessarily attainable at the moment with a 3 year old! 🙈 Love this! ❤️
💕💕
Would love to see more on kids rooms and nurseries!
These tips are fantastic. One overarching idea that I would add would be: Design something more mature if you want it to last, and avoid themes that too literal as far as your kids' interests go. It's really tempting to do something super. super cute, or let your child go hog wild decorating their room in Star Wars or whatever, but kids change super quickly. If you let your three year old deck out their room in lavender with Princess Sophia everything, she'll hate it when she's six. If you let your ten year old do a Hogwarts theme at eleven, he'll probably hate it when he's a teen. It's really easy for a favorite thing to become a least favorite thing. Same goes for colors. Your precious princess may adore pink at ten, and want black at twelve.
If you choose a broader theme, you can change out accents according to what they're interested in. Nature themes work, and you can add pretty much anything to them. You can have princesses or nights or whatever. It's all good. Nautical is great. You can make it more whimsical with mermaids, pirates, sea creatures, whatever. Space transitions really, really well. If you take out the planets, rockets, stars, etc. you get a really dramatic moody space that would make a lot of teenagers very jealous. Neutrals are great. You can add whatever their favorite color of the moment is without having to worry about redoing the whole room.
Even if you don't care about the expense of redecoration, it's better to design for the long haul. Paint isn't expensive, but do you really want to give up a vacation to paint your daughter's room because you painted it purple when she was four, and now she hates it and wants orange? $150 in paint is no big deal, but hauling all of their crap out of their room, finding somewhere to put it, painting for two days, and putting everything back is kind of a big deal when you could be spending time doing something fun as a family.
Multifunction items are a must! I have to agree with a couple of other commenters about the amount of "stuff" kids "need" and especially keeping it in a bedroom - does not make for relaxed kids and can instead be quite overwhelming. Mine are still little, but on the principle of good sleep hygiene, we use the bedroom for sleeping, dressing, and reading (part of nap and bed routines) only, and blackout curtains or shades are MUST! Playing and learning are done in other parts of the house. Because reading is part of our winding down routine, I do keep a basket of books in the baby's room, and a 3-shelf bookshelf with books for my preschooler (use magazine holders to help corral skinnier books and use as bookends).
Carly!! I LOVE hearing how all of you guys use your kid's rooms on a day-to-day basis!!! 🙌🏼 I like how you have separate rooms playing with relaxing/sleeping, great principles!!! 💕 Thank you so much for sharing this and for tuning in!!! 😋💕🌟
I don't even have kids. It's just really hard to find interior design videos on loft beds. Great video.
Yes! My 29 year old daughter is planning to buy a loft bed so her room has more usable space. I used one myself in my 20s!
Omg Lisa you are such a breath of fresh air. Thank you a 1,000 times. You always make my day!
😘💕👍🏻🤣🥰❤️
“Shove everything inside and close those flaps!” Is my cleaning mantra! 🤣
Hahaha YES, nobody needs to know what's inside that tent!!! 😅🤣 That's why storage baskets and bins are your buddies, you can just toss some items in there and it looks like you have your life together!!! 👏🏼😝
* Great Tips Lisa* . Loft beds are a winner in my book for small bedrooms, the downside is changing linens. The all-in-one sleeping bag style sets are perfect for loft beds (where were they when I had littles?). I always hated "character themed" rooms, I went with a design that could easily be upgraded for maturity milestones.
C!! Looks like you have a good head on your shoulders!!! 🙌🏼💛 The linens on the loft beds can definitely be a challenge, but you're totally right - those all-in-one sleeping bag styles are game-changing!!! They even have MANY different colors/designs!!! 🤩 I LOVE the approach of keeping the design pretty minimal of the characters themed rooms - perfect way to let the room grow up with the kiddos!!! 🥰🌟 THANK YOU for all the feedback and for tuning in this AM - I absolutely LOVE creating fun convos with you guys!!! 🤗💜💐
@@LisaHoltDesign I gave up on loft beds for my kids' rooms because I was soooooo tired of climbing the stupid ladder to change the bedding and also clear out all the stray food and other detritus my 7 year old would haul up there! LOL
Hi Lisa. I am curious about lighting solutions for a kid’s room. Are there some types you like better than others? Floor vs ceiling vs table? Would ceiling be the best to use knowing kids bang and break everything at their level? That would mean no task lighting….🙁
Yes!
Great video tips! The loft beds are a perfect idea for any kid's room. Having a bed with extra storage is a great option since you can store additional toys, etc.
This video is right on time. I just moved and will be designing a new room for my son!
Talk about PERFECT timing!! 🤪🙌🏼 LOL hopefully you gathered a few amazing tips for your son's new room!!! 🧡
Same!!
Great tips!!! Super happy that you kept the kids in mind and showed options with color! So many designers design for the parents and not the kids living in the room. Great video!!!
Selena!!! SO glad you enjoyed this video!!! 🥰 Making design fun for the kids AND parents is always the goal!! Gimme ALL the color!!! LOL 😉💗😆
You are so right that we all need to use the footprint of the bed to house a lot more than just the bed, whether it's a play space or study area or crafting center. The real estate of the bedroom needs to be useful for more than sleeping, so kids can have quiet time in there or friends over when they are old enough to be a bit unsupervised for short periods. You gave us terrific examples. You are so right about trunks limiting use of the space above them or even what you can safely sit atop them. I particularly loved the examples of flooring you showed. I had not seen the one that is made of colorful striped pieces of carpeting. I am going to look that one up online among a few other options you presented to us. Thanks.
OMG Yes Philippa!! 💙💕 I am SUCH a fan of those super cute little loft bed spaces...plus you're totally right!! 👏🏻🌟 SO practical!! 💚 I'm soooo glad I could show off some looks that I LOVE to hopefully get YOUR creative gears turning...thank you SO much for tuning in this week!! 🌟😘
Lovely video. Very well explained and covered almost all aspects. I would also love t know about study tables
I love the content of your videos Thanks for your channel
Lorena!!! You guys are the BEST - thank you so much for all the love on the channel!! 🥰❤️ Makes me super happy knowing you guys love my videos - you have NO IDEA!!! 😘 YAYY thank you for this sweet comment!!! 💗🌟🤩
Such a nice subject idea 👌
Thanks Lisa, you are great one
Yes finally!!!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻
YAYY this was a HIGHLY requested video - so glad you guys are loving it!!!! 😍🙌🏼
I absolutely love this video and your enthusiasm about kids rooms. I was a bit hesitant to changing my home into a kids home.. but once I got all the storage in place I can really just keep most of the kids stuff in the one room and still have a beautiful home without toys everywhere. My absolute favorite are the foam tile floors. So easy to clean and can make interesting patterns etc. thanks for the video!!!
Also since we have a travel theme going on since we have a kid with a lot of passports… we hung some really beautiful paper lanterns (with no light in them) and they look so nice
Amethyst!!! OMG I loveee reading this!!!! 🥰🥰 This is why I love making these videos - so we can alll bond over our fun spaces!!! 👏🏼Thank you so much for sharing this! Storage truly is KEY for the little ones so I am very glad that this tip has worked out for you!! 😉💜💜 And the paper lanterns - ADORABLE!!! 😍🙌🏼
I love the baskets with the stripes of colour. What a fun way to add some fun and great way to empower and teach the kiddos to put stuff away. A lesson that I'm still learning today. Happy New Week, Lisa. Cheers, Ivy.
YAY I am so glad you love those baskets I mentioned!!! 😍 Letting your kiddo be creative and feel empowered is such an important factor to include at such a young age - and you can apply that in their bedroom!!! 👏🏼🧡 Thank you so much for leaving this sweet comment, and welcome to our fun community Ivy!!! 😘🎉💗✨
You know it’s good design advice when it applies almost as well for other small spaces, e.g., a bedroom that doubles as an office (learning) & entertainment room (playing) with great storage features.
SO true Leo!!! Storage/organization applies to ALL rooms!!! 👏🏼💕 So glad you could grab this yummy info from this video - thank you SO MUCH for tuning in!!! 🥰🧡🤗
I can’t tell you how excited I am for this video. So so good. Thank you!
Jennifer!! I hope you enjoyed this fun video - definitely a HIGHLY requested video so I am glad that you guys are loving it!!! 💗✨
Lifting the bed so they have more floor space - brilliant! Love the tents, I bought my granddaughter a castle tent. 😂🥰❤️ Great tips and video content as always Lisa!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is great! I had a loft bed growing up and the smallest bedroom. Young kids have the energy to climb those ladders.
Sometimes I wish I had that kind of energy now!!!! 😅 Oh to be able to climb on a loft bed day and night!!! 🤣🤣❤️
Performance oriented. I have two grandchildren, girls, each in their own room. One is 11, the other is 6. They are so close, you'd think they were twins. It's usually competitive closeness. The younger always wants what the older one has. When ever I send a gift to the older. The younger wants one too, and same when I send a gift to the younger one. I wonder what their rooms look like. Their both advanced for their grades, and they actually clean their rooms! I loved your samples Lisa. I already have in mind things to send them, ie, wall hangings, throw rugs, framed pictures, vase of flowers, desk set, accent lights, ukelele, bean-bag chairs, etc...Thanks Lisa.
Hey Elizabeth, you're on it for sure! They'll LUV all those things! So glad this helped!!! xoxoxo L
Can you do a video on pet design in homes? Would love to hear some tips on how to make dog crates, play pens etc.. look nice and what merchandise you would recommend.
Dana!!! 💕 Pat friendly design is 100% on my list - I know we have JUST as many pet moms as kid moms on this channel!!! 💙🤩 I'm definitely planning on bringing you guys some tips for YOUR families - stay tuneddd!!!! 😉❤️
Yes having lived in a 400 sq ft studio with 2 kids (1 and 3) for almost 4 years, have to agree with the multifunctional pieces and high performance!
I hate I missed this live! I’m in the throes of designing a new bedroom for a 5-year-old little girl right now so this couldn’t be more timely.
Anne!! We missed you!! ❤️❤️ We ran into some technical difficulties so our live was late today - no worries!!! 🙈 I am so glad that this video came out at the PERFECT time for you!!! Hopefully these tips could help you out on your new project!!! 😍🙌🏼💕
Wow, thanks! I have been stressing myself out trying to redo my daughter's room and hearing things broken down like this was so helpful!
You got this Aliza!! 👏🏼 Redoing a bedroom can be pretty stressful, but enjoy the process of it all!! Don't rush into it! 😊 I am so glad that you found this video to be super helpful, thank you so much for all the support!!! 😘💕❤️
The little kid down in the corner was a cute touch. Lol. Love your energy and how much you have fun in your videos!
Hahah isn't my editor so quirky sometimes?! 🤣🤣 Thank you so much for this sweet comment Victor, so glad you guys are LOVING this highly requested video!! 🥰💗💗💗
Awesome advice! Wish I had this video when I was decorating my kids’ rooms years ago! I just winged it with some help from Pinterest. Those ikea storage units were a lifesaver! I loved the look of baskets for storage on the top shelf of closets, but they cost more than I was willing to spend, so I saved diaper boxes, cut the flaps off and covered them with burlap, added a decorative ribbon and they looked great for extra storage. They’ve lasted 12 years! My two youngest are in that transition stage, the toy days are done and they want a more “mature” space, and have developed their own style. It’s been interesting redoing their space, my daughters share a room so trying to bring in both of their styles has been interesting, one is neutral, the other is colorful, it’s a challenge😂
OMG Angela!!! 🤩👏🏻👏🏻 That is just BRILLIANT - I LOVE a good DIY!!! SO smart to use those diaper boxes!! 💚 I totally hear you about that tricky transitional phase that kids go through...but SO cool to see them doing their own thing and finding their design style!!! 💙 Thank you SO much for tuning in and sharing such a creative storage solution...I learn so much from you guys!!! 💕🥰
Again wonderful professional information Lisa! So light and bright and happy! I Love it!! 💕 Our daughter is expecting her first baby 🍼 I sent this so she can get excited about creating the Baby/ Child space.. I gave them play houses and tents when they were little .. so wonderful for keeping the children on a creativity spark! 🙏🍼🍭🍦🍬
Victoria!!! Aww how exciting - I am sure they are going to LOVE these tips for their first little one!!! 💖🤗 SUPER GLAD that you could pass all this yummy info along to them, thank you so much for watching and supporting!!! 🥰🍭💗
Love your channel and upbeat attitude. I always learn so much. Needed the help for my grandchildren’s room for this segment.
YAY Debra!!! 💚🥰 I knew we had some rockstar grandparents in the channel fam - SO glad i could share a few design tips for the kiddos in your life!!! 💕 This topic was just SO much fun to cover...thank you so much for joining me this week!!! 🤩❤️ You guys are the BEST!!! 🌟
Debra!! Thank you for all the love - I am so excited to hear how your grandchildren's rooms to turn out!! 😇💞 SO glad that these tips could help you out with this upcoming project!! 👏🏼💜💐
How do you change the sheets and make the bed when it’s lifted? I’m not climbing up there.
OMG Lisa!!! This came at the right time. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
YES Gisselle!! 💚🌟 I always LOVE hearing that these videos are finding you guys at a good time...nothing I love more than helping out with your design dilemmas!!! 💙 SO glad I could help - thank you so so much for tuning in this week!! 😘💕
Our last little birdie just left the nest so I'm changing her room to a guest room!
When my children were young, one of the best ways to keep it neater and better organized was to limit the number of toys they had with random visits from the Goodwill Fairy!
Awww Emily congrats!!! 💚🥳 Doesn't the time just fly?? LOVE your strategies for really establishing those clutter free zones...even in your kids' room!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Editing is SO important...but it sounds like you already know that!!! 💕😂 LOVE hearing all of you guys' stories in these comments...than you so much for joining me for some design fun this weekend!!! 🥰💙
Hi Lisa! Missed you Saturday morning! I don’t have children so I’m not sure this video is entirely for me, but there are still some handy tips here! Double-duty furniture is a must in any small space, and designing for function is also super important.
I myself have defined spaces for sleeping, playing, learning, and storage; I’d even daresay that my playing space is larger than that of most childless adults because board games are my ultimate passion 🥰 so my living/dining space is taken up with tons of tables and chairs and game shelves!
Thanks for the video! Lots of love, and stay well!
OMG Hey Johnathon - we missed you this week!!! 😘😘 Totally hear you on the whole not having kids thing...I know not everyone on this channel is a parent!! 😂❤️ I LOVE that you found a few things to be inspired by anyways...aren't these looks amazing?? 💚👏🏻 I TOTALLY agree that adults should make space to play and learn too - I love your approach!!! And what a cool hobby!! SO glad you could catch the video this week - see you soon!!! 🥰💙
Fantastic ideas! This Gramma is inspired! Thank you, Lisa!
OMG Jill!! 👏🏻💕 YAY!! 🤩🤩 This one is for you guys!! 🥰 Aren't these ideas just SO fun??? I know they really get MY creative juices flowing!! 🌟 SO glad I could share a few of my favorite tips with you guys this week...thank you so much for watching!! 😘💚
What you doing! Your fading away, looks good!
Right!? I couldn’t pay attention to what she was actually saying. Too busy admiring her skinny arms!
That one raised bed with drawers: didn't it have a pullout desktop? I've never seen that before and it sounds pretty clever!
YES Ann!!! Isn't that just the COOLEST??? 👏🏻👏🏻 Forget the kids...I want one!! 😂💙 I LOVE the AMAZING creativity in some of these looks...just another reason this topic was so fun to cover!!! 🥰 LOVE that you caught that detail- great eye!!! 😉💚
I loved this one too. What’s the brand?
As usual a fantastic video 😊👏👏👏. I definitely need to have block out blinds in my daughter's bedroom and she has always had a double bed, extra length. It's more comfortable for everyone to climb into bed and read books at the end of the day and if she is ill and one of us has to spend the night with her then there is plenty of room in the bed for both of us to sleep comfortably. Don't forget waterproof sheets, accidents will happen. And I love baskets, I bought some simple neutral ones and then added a cute trim to it. I wouldn't recommend spending too much money on your kids bedrooms, other than a really good mattress, they outgrown their bedroom decor very fast. Remember to have fun with it, I had an idea of what my daughter's bedroom should look like, but she had her own vision for it so I had to compromise on some things, it's not how I wanted it, but it's not my bedroom.😉
Ana!!!! 💕🤩 I LOVE this point about having FUN - designs should ALWAYS be fun, but especially when you're working with kids!!!! 💚 And these are some GREAT tips...I love this idea of getting a bigger bed if you have the space!!! 💙💙 Thank you SO much for tuning in this week and sharing some of your experience - I LOVE hearing from you guys on these topics!!! 😘
Lisa, how did interior designers find these beautiful unique products before the internet? Thinking bookshelves & closets filled with catalogs & hours of shopping. ☺️ My kids are all grown up now, but I love all of these products.
Great ideas - the mobile tip really inspired me as I’m in the process of transforming my daughter’s room from ‘baby’ to ‘big girl’. I have a whole vision now to DIY a big lighted mobile over her new bed (and yep I chose a bed with storage drawers lol).
Aurora!!! What an exciting project!!! I am so glad the mobile tip could help out with your transition phase!!! 😉👏🏼💕 That phase can definitely be harder to work with!!!
Love your ideas 💡!
Aww thank you so much for all the support!!! 😍💖
Gracias Lisa, Mom here of two boys this absolutely helpful 🤗

Fabulous as always...but again distracted by your fabulous style and jewelry! LOVE that top with the stars! Brand may I ask? You always look so pulled together as I watch with bed head in my jammies! Goals...after coffee...☕😜
LUV it!!!

I have three little nephews so this vid is awesome to share with the fam especially the double-duty/multi-use goodies 👍👍
OMG thank you for the compliment!!! I just LOVE switching up my glasses in my videos - it's so funny that you guys point out the new pairs every time!! 😆👏🏼 You guys are my SUPER FANS!!! 🤩 Your family and their kiddos are going to LOVE these tips, thank you so much for sharing this with them!!! 💕🥰❤️

Great tips!! I don’t like trunks either. I always worry about fingers getting hurt 😬
Katie!!! Definitely a safety issue as well!!! 😅 Always want keep the kiddos safe from getting hurt!!! 😬🙌🏼
Where did you get that cool star print shirt?
I absolutely LOVE THIS!! Thank you so, SO much for making this video (I’m the one who messaged you on IG saying I have no idea what I’m doing with my daughter’s room). I’ve decided to go with a little farmer’s market theme (to teach sustainability and healthy practices)! This is going to help immensely with my project!
Awww I LOVE hearing this Maya!!! ❤️❤️ SO glad that this video could bring a lot of clarity to what you wanted to do in your daughter's room!!! 😊 Thank you so much for sharing this and for tuning in this AM!! 🙌🏼✨🥰
Thank you so much. I am redoing my kids' room, so this is so helpful for me ❤. Linda, Kenya 🇰🇪
Glad it was helpful!
Great suggestions, thank you! I know this isn’t on-topic with this video. I was wondering what your thoughts are on wallpaper in the kitchen as a backsplash- A video idea 😉
The only problem with lifted bed is they are a pain to change the sheets on.
That is so true!!! Someone has mentioned that there are these really cool "sleeping bag" type sheets where it's an all-in-one deal and easy to put on a loft bed!! 👏🏼💕
@@LisaHoltDesign beddies I think is the brand. I think if we did loft beds that be the time to get them.
DIY sighting: the first white basket is easy to crochet from tshirt yarn. The trio in tan, charcoal and sage are probably also crochet from what looks like a chenille yarn.
This video is a blast from the past.. i cant believe my boys are now young men.
Awww Patty wow!!! Isn't it crazy how fast that happens??? 🥰🥰 SO glad I could bring you a little bit of nostalgia...aren't these looks cute?? 🌟😘 Thank you SO much for tuning in this week - and thanks for such a cute comment!!! 🤩💙
Loved the video! In your next kids’ room installment, could you please touch on rooms for two children? In our case it’s my two little granddaughters, one is 4-1/2 years old and the other one is 1-1/2. My daughter is putting them in one bedroom so that the other bedroom can be used as a playroom for both girls. Thanks❣️
OMG Nadia yay!!! 💚💚 I was thinking of all you moms out there when I made this vid - I'm SO excited to hear that it was helpful!!! 🥰 I will TOTALLY jot this idea down for the next video in this series...I know SO many families have kids share a room!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Definitely a whole new set of things to think about!! Thank you SO much for this great idea, and thanks for leaving such a sweet comment!! 😘💙
@@LisaHoltDesign Thanks❤️You are awesome... I look forward to your videos... they help so much!
Yes! Some of us have more than one kid... three little boys with another on the way lol the amount of STUFF is insane!!! But this was an amazing starter video for readjusting some things and making more room as the space gets tighter...
Could you do a dedicated video on toy storage?? 🙏🙏🙏
Stephanie!!! 💚👏🏻 I will totally put toy storage on my list - I'm always SO excited to hear you guys' video ideas!!!! In the meantime though, my BIGGEST tip for toy storage is DEFINITELY baskets!! 🤩🤩 Just throw everything in and your done!!! 😂💙 Thank you SO much for tuning in and for leaving such a great suggestion - you guys are the best! 😘❤️
My kids are older now but since I’m remodeling my childhood home the multi purpose bed idea I will absolutely use. What do you suggest paint wise on the wall that will be easy to clean? My daughter is incredibly smart and very artistic so I planned on one wall being the black chalkboard paint but not sure what color would look best with the chalkboard wall and she doesn’t care on the color of the walls but I do as a designer and want to go with my color themes throughout the home without duplicating any colors.
Alisa!!! 🌟💕 Good question - this sounds like such a fun space!! When it comes to paints and cleaning, its all about finish!! 🤩🤩 For a bedroom I would normally go with a matte finish...but because you're planning on cleaning the walls go one step up to eggshell!!! 👏🏻 Hope this helps, and happy painting!!! 🥰💚
While those loft type beds are super cute I’m not sure I would want to climb up there to sit on their bed and read to them at night?
G!! 💚 That's definitely SO important to consider - just like anything with design, these decisions are SO personal!! 👏🏻👏🏻 If you're not comfortable with a loft bed set up, then there are TONS of other options!!! 🌟 It's all about doing whats best for YOU and YOUR kids!!! 💙 Hopefully I could show off a few looks that might work for you - thank you so much for tuning in this week!! 🥰💕
HI Lisa, love your videos and advice. I have a question about covering box springs. I want to get rid of my bedskirt. Ive heard you can cover the box spring with a fitted bed sheet. This way no more movement and dirt pile up like a bed skirt causes. Your thoughts and suggests please? FYI: I have a cast iron bed in brushed gold with a bit of black in it. I love it. It has a bar but not side panels like the new modern "box beds", not sure what they are called But you see these new beds in all the designer shows,
Hey Barbara, you've GOT it!!! That is my secret I always order another fitted sheet so the linens look goes all the way down. Good instincts!!!! xoxoxo
I would love to see you do a bedding video! Especially how to decorate with pillows!!!
OMG you're in luck - I am going to be doing a video ALL about bedrooms in a few weeks so STAY TUNED for this video!!! 😉👏🏼💕🥰
Lisa, I have a problem. My rooms are 3.5 x 3 on one side I have a Ducted heating vent in the floor under a floor to ceiling windows, on one narrow wall I have a three door built in wardrobe and then the other 3.5m wall has the entry door taking up space. I really don't have room for a large bed let alone a chest of drawers or a nursing chair when I have children. All of our bedrooms are the same layout. Any tips or tricks?
Hello from Dallas, Lisa. Cute kids’ room.
Hello!!! Thank you so much for tuning in and the constant support, so glad you enjoyed this video!!! 🥰💚
Most of those nice beds are impossible to find or very cost prohibitive in Canada. Great ideas and video!
Oh Lisa I just love this kiddie z room video ♥️ ( being one myself and shamefully proud of it ) 🧸🎨 - the tent idea is fantastic the dolls house 🎯 space and easel🖼 elements are really darling 🎀 the llamas are lovey dovey and I think these furniture pieces would do great in an artist's Atelier - Perhaps not all will agree especially the old fogeys and other bogeymen but ceci n ' est pas grave -Thanks ever so much for this informative and cutely chubby video and take care ♥️🧸🙏🎇♥️ ♥️✨🙏
OMG Patricia!!! 🤩 Aren't these looks just SO fun??? 👏🏻👏🏻 I LOVE how creative designers get when working with kids...so cute! 💚 And how can't you love those ADORABLE little llamas!! 😂💕 SO glad you could tune in and join me for a little bit of design fun this AM...thank you so much for this super sweet comment!! 😘😘
Does kids in the US play in their rooms before age 6-7 ish? In my experience all the toys will end up where the action is e.g the kitchen and living room 😅
I found that kids prefer to sleep on a lower plane than a higher but you're right, loft beds creat so much space. What would you recommend for a performance rug that is more nuetral in tone?
Try the FLOR carpet tiles, tons of options and easy to clean or replaces👍🏻🥰
Love your ideas and advice
YAYA thank you so much for this sweet comment and for all the support!!! 😘😘
Love this Lisa, do you have a preteen, teen bedroom ideas too?
This would be another fun deep dive to cover in a future video!!! 😍 I will definitely add this to my list of video ideas, thank you for sharing this Harlaine!! 💗📝 You guys have the BEST creative ideas!! 🥰❤️ 🌟
Hi- new here! Where are the first white bed shown and the gray house beds from?
Hi, what about plants? Are a few pots ok for kids?
I don’t have fancy built ins but my daughters bed is 18 inches off the ground and she has beautiful crafted wooden toy storage that fit perfectly underneath the bed.
Thanks. Great ideas.
Yay Haydee!!! 💚👏🏻 SO glad I could share some of my FAVORITE kid friendly design tips with you guys this week...I don't know about you, but these looks got my creative gears TURNING!!!! 🤩🤩 Thank you SO much for joining me for design brunch this week - LOVE my channel fam!! 😘💙
YAY thanks for watching Haydee!!! 🥰❤️
Even though I don’t have kids, I have to watch a Lisa upload! And I may be able to pass on this info to a friend. Ps- mobiles should be 3 dimensional, because if it isn’t m, the baby only sees a line while lying down.
Marnie!!! YAY this makes me so happy!!! 🥰 Now whenever a friend or a family member is looking to design their kid's rooms, you can give some expert advice!!! 😝👏🏼 Hahaha thank you so much for tuning in and all the support! Love talking to you all in the comments!!! 😘💗🌟🤩
Put a drain in the middle of the floor for periodic hosing down
great ideas
Rugs - great tips! Adding a deep dive comment to all - do NOT put a shag rug in a child's room. Children leave behind small Playmobil/LEGO landmines in the thick pile which eventually strike unsuspecting bare feet!! You've been warned!!
Christel!!! OUCH - we don't want that happening!!! 😬 This is such a handy tip for rugs in kid's rooms - thank you so much for sharing this!!! 👏🏼💕🥰
Those beds are so high!! Floor beds for my kids. They love jumping and playing on top and such a high bed is dangerous 😝
What is your opinion about bunk beds my wife is thinking of getting the boy's bunk beds the boys are 5 and 6 do you recommend bunk beds they have a small room
Bunk beds can be great, read reviews before you buy, tho!
@@LisaHoltDesign She wasn't going to buy them a friend of her was going to sell them to her
Thank you for the great video! Could you please make a video about a room for teenagers? My son is 13, his room is 10 m.sq. thank you in advance!
My daughter wanted this upholstered yellow bed so bad! And I don’t love it. How do I design around it???
Why don't you suggest us or put a link to cute baskets specially to display on a shelf made up of cubes?
ANA!!! Love the suggestion- I do have other fun items I have mentioned in the description of my video!!! 😍🙌🏼
@@LisaHoltDesign and I love everything, as always, since it comes from you but... I need beautiful baskets to include in the playroom since I cannot handle visual clutter 🤦♀️.... any suggestions? The room is based on creams, browns and whites...
I love that this mainly focused on storage. I can't stand it when parents do a themed room for their child- a nursery is one thing, but for little kids I think it locks them into one aspect of their personality. We always got to choose the wall color and then we could change it all the time. I think we painted every other year. Then when we got older we naturally started designing our own spaces instead of it being a mom project. Always made us feel creative, listened to, and like we had ownership of the space (so you wanted to keep it looking nice).
Awww Blue I love this approach!!! 💚🤩 It is SO important for kids to feel like they have a say in their space...just like it's so important for them to take ownership of their own clean up!!! 💙🤩 If you're able to paint every other year, that is just AMAZING...what an exciting event for your kids!!! Thank you SO much for sharing this - and thanks for tuning in this week!!! 💕😘
what a great video!
Awww Lala this is too sweet!! 💚👏🏻 I have SO much fun making these vids for you guys...I was so excited to switch it up a little bit and talk about kids design for a week!!!! 🤩 SO many cute looks out there!! 😍Thank you SO much for tuning in and supporting my channel this week...it really does mean the world to me!! 🥰💙
where can we purchase the white basket?
Darla!! All of these photos I show for inspo are from various magazines + blogs (in the description) so I am not quite sure where it's from!!! If I know where products are from, I will link them in the description box!!! 😇🙌🏼💕💌
Both of my kids have used my toy box from the ‘70’s. And you’re right, if you want to access the toys, you can’t put anything on top. I used it to hide the nerf guns…from my husband! He would ambush me throughout the house. So, they were buried in the toy box and things were placed on the top making access difficult. It’s the really big kids you have to watch out for.🤣
OMG S this is SUCH a cute comment!!! 💚😘 Sounds like you have a WONDERFUL husband - so fun!!! 👏🏻💙 GREAT point that chests could be useful for hiding toys that you might not want to deal with every day...you guys think of everything!! 😂❤️
Can i just hire you?
Ive a small studio , it will be easy
Who is changing the sheets and making up the beds in the sky?
Can we get a video for guest rooms. Especially guest rooms with twin beds. We always see guest rooms with queen size beds and that’s great too. But some guest rooms have to sleep more than one person.
Lena!! Have you seen my recent video talking about bedroom hacks?! 🤩 I think that video will help you SO MUCH for your guest bedroom needs!!! 👏🏼🧡 Truly appreciate the support on the channel, thank you sooo much for watching!!!! 😘🌟💖
Here's a challenge.... How to re-design your medium size ( 10x10) bathroom with an Ugly porcelain Walk in Tub but make it elegant and chic.... perhaps a walk around walk in Tub with a fire place..... I have yet to see a bathroom using them to make every one want one.
Luckily I have no ankle-biters myself, but I'd watch Lisa read the phone book. Great energy, very fun, and I love that the advice is generally applicable. Storage solutions are good at any age! Also I'm 34 years old and I would love a tent. Thanks as always for a terrific and fun video, Lisa! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like the idea of a bed up off the ground with storage or a desk underneath, but those beds are so hard to make 🙁
Lisa, I love your videos. I have learned a lot about interior design. In this video, the reflections in your glasses were very distracting. I hope you can eliminate these reflections in future videos. Thanks, Lori
Thanks for your feedback Lori!!!
I love the idea of loft beds but people need to be aware of their ceiling heights if you get a raised bed and the child can’t even sit up in bed maybe that needs to be re-thought before they purchase it
Brenda!!! 🤩 SUCH a good point...just like with anything in design, its all about what works for YOUR space!!! 👏🏻💕 Definitely don't want your kids waking up and hitting their heads!!! 💚😂 Always SO important to think of these details...thank you so much for making this great point!!! 💙🌟
Great tips! (Just FYI: The music has some strange super high pitch that was so distracting. 🙈)
Becca!! I am so sorry about that - I am not sure what happened!! Is there a specific timestamp where you could hear the pitch?!
@@LisaHoltDesign it starts at 5:00. I could only get through about half of it lol.
What’s a good way to give an 11 year old girl her purple wall request without painting a wall purple? This seems to be an age predictable request. Looking for options to deliver on the request in a way that she feels part of the process with a long term solution that she loves and will take her into her teen years with the occasional decor changes as she grows.
Maybe a decal that you can take off the wall in the future... I love the mcgee girls bedroom in their home because it's the perfect mixture of adult furniture but with a stylish decor for kids...
Painting is so quick and easy and undo-able, especially with just 1 wall. Personally, I would just paint and give her 2 or 3 years of enjoyment before her next color choice.
@@anav7774 Good idea, Who are the McGee girls? Busy business owner here. not up on everything.
@@beverlygamblin3541 I'm sorry. I meant Studio McGee...

@@sarahrosen4985 Thank you for your feedback. We're actually looking for a designer touch answer that will satisfy all parties. My experience has been that many girls tire of the purple wall sooner than the parent has time to change, Looking for this to take her into teen years without painting again. The facts...it's for my granddaughter, her mom and I operate a pro organizing biz and need to get this room close to right the first time. We spend so much time in and on our biz that we don't want to change wall color too often. It's part of simplifying our lives.
