Child’s Play

Three local designers unleash their inner child with playful mood boards for kids’ rooms.

Produced by Loren Savini, styling by Kara Butterfield.


Orange You Glad

Interior designer Jill ­Goldberg dreamed up a vibrant children’s room with punchy tangerines offsetting aqua florals. White and blue furniture creates a seaside vibe, while a textured white-and-metallic Phillip Jeffries wallcovering adds a contemporary twist.
