This week, it's your resident KKH Baby & Kids expert Mia here (before I joined Kathy Kuo Home, my background for many years was in family and baby editorial, with an emphasis on style, products, and gear), and this week I am so excited to share my fave kids' room design tips for every age. It can be a daunting project to approach because children grow so quickly and, thus, their tastes shift quickly as well. No parent wants to invest in a large volume of furniture and decor that they aren't sure their little ones will fit into--or even like--in a year or two, but it's understandable that you still want your kids' rooms to look cohesive.\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">Thankfully, it's actually super-easy to design for any age or stage--it's all about strategic neutrals, key investment pieces, and choosing decor pieces that are able to grow and fit in with any decor scheme.
