Babyletto Kids Sustainability

I’ve always been very attuned to the emotional resonance of spaces, so as a designer I strive to create a feeling of ease, order, and balance.

Tell us a bit about yourself — what you do, your design philosophy, and how you see the world through interiors.

My name is Anne Sage and I’m a designer and content creator who is also a mom to two energetic daughters, Halo age 6 and Indie age 2. I’ve always been very attuned to the emotional resonance of spaces, so as a designer I strive to create a feeling of ease, order, and balance. And since becoming a mom, I’m more aware than ever of how spaces function for a family’s needs—and how they evolve over time as kids grow!

When designing this nursery / kids room, what kind of atmosphere or emotional experience were you hoping to create? Were there any particular inspirations that shaped the space?

Halo is now heading into 1st grade, but this has been her room since she was a baby. We’re slowly updating the room to make it reflect the artistic, imaginative girl she’s grown into! The wallpaper has always been a favorite of mine, as it strikes a really nice balance between airy and playful but still sophisticated—and I appreciate that it still suits her personality after all these years. Plus it’s versatile enough that we can layer other decor elements into the room without clashing. Next up, I’d love to add some color to the paneling on the bottom half of the walls…so stay tuned!

"I'm more aware than ever of how spaces function for a family's needs — and how they evolve over time as kids grow."

Was there a design choice or moment in the process that ended up surprising you?

We installed the bed when my daughter was at school and surprised her with it when shegot home. The moment was so special! But then, the first thing she said after her initialdelight was, “Where’s the bottom bunk for Indie?” So thank goodness Babyletto offers abottom bed option, since apparently she wants her little sister to be able to share the room!

How did Babyletto complement or influence the overall vision for the room?

Our new Babyletto Moab Loft bed IS the moment! I’ve always wanted to do built-in bunk beds for this room but the process and expense felt too overwhelming. So I absolutely love that the Moab gives us the look and function of built-ins, with none of the complicated install! The shelves are large and deep and hold so many of her books, and toys; and the desk will be perfect for homework as she progresses through school, plus the arch detail brings personality to the otherwise plain envelope of the room. This piece gives the room a major and instantaneous update that will grow beautifully with her!

What advice would you give to parents who are just beginning to envision or plan their nursery / kids room?

Kids grow and change so fast, so expect their rooms to do the same in order to keep up with them! I like to create a relatively neutral backdrop that can then be layered withdifferent color palettes or decor as their taste evolves. When it comes to furniture, versatile and comfortable pieces are your best friend. Think tons of storage, extra cozy seating, and super soft rugs. As for the vibe, I prefer to keep in mind words like “playful” or “youthful” rather than “childish”. You’ll cultivate much more staying power that way!
