- Avoid placing a reading chair in a large bedroom unless you can fully commit to making it more comfortable than your bed with additional accessories like an ottoman, light source, and side table. 
- Instead of overdone nursery themes like birds or monkeys, consider unique and personal themes such as a specific city, space, or vintage cars and trains to create a lasting and meaningful design. 
- When designing a child's room, incorporate elements that reflect personal connections or nicknames while using removable features to allow for easy updates as their interests change.
