Little ones may not appreciate fancy furnishings, but a few cool pieces will go a long way toward making their safe havens heavenly, for both of you. After all, you spend time there, too. When decorating for kids, consider the same factors you would in designing an adult space: color, comfort, functionality, and charm. Then add lots of fun, cheery elements for an adorable kid's room with loads of style.

BABY BERTOIA
Your child has class, so get the kid a classic. A vintage, kid-sized Harry Bertoia chair. More than 2,500 strands of closed-cell, extruded spong cord are hand-knotted to a freshly powder-coated base. It's so cool, you'll wish you were a kid again. ($850, geniusjones.com)


MOD TOD
Designer Scott Wilson's vision that juvenile and adult products can exist harmoniously in the same environment is beautifully illustrated in the Ooba Nest Collection. What's more, this versatile, modern collection is designed to grow with your child. Conversion kits allow the pieces to adapt to the child's changing needs as baby moves from bassinet to crib to toddler bed. (Bassinet $600, Crib $1650, Genius Jones, Miami; geniusjones.com)
