Home by Country: Children’s Bedrooms Around the World — How Design Shapes Calm, Growth, and Better Living. Ep #57

In this episode of Your Home by Design, host Nico Smutylo explores how children’s bedrooms from Denmark, Japan, and Germany reveal the powerful connection between design, calm, and growth. Around the world, cultures use interior design to teach independence, nurture creativity, and support emotional well-being—and these ideas can transform your own home.

You’ll discover how a rug and a Roman shade can ground the nervous system, how layered lighting supports better sleep, and how furniture height can encourage independence. Drawing from neuroaesthetics and global design psychology, Nico shares eight actionable design principles that bring clarity, balance, and intention to your child’s room—no matter their age.
