In South Florida’s luxury housing market, where every detail is designed with precision, one area is gaining recognition as a focal point for innovation: children’s interior design. Once overlooked, children’s rooms are now being celebrated as powerful tools for emotional balance, cognitive growth, creativity, and family harmony—when designed with expertise and intentionality.

This movement is led by Roman Mak, a professional visual artist, production designer, educator, and founder of Creative Kids Design. As a member of the Set Decorators Society of America, Mak blends his expertise in art, psychology, and educational science to transform children’s interiors into immersive, growth-oriented environments.

His unique background—spanning from visual arts to production design for the world’s largest kids’ YouTube channel (with more than 129 million subscribers)—equips him with a rare ability to create spaces that both delight children and foster development.

“On set, the environments had to engage children emotionally, spark imagination, and promote focus. I’ve refined those principles into a system that, when used in real homes, helps children thrive emotionally, socially, and creatively.”

This distinctive methodology has positioned Mak as a recognized innovator at the intersection of art, luxury interior design, and developmental science.

“A child’s room shouldn’t be just four walls. It should function as a stage for personal growth – a place where character forms, creativity flourishes, and childhood feels safe, warm, and full of possibility.”

His work drew attention at the Palm Beach Home Show 2025, where Creative Kids Design presented a multi-sensory luxury play installation that invited visitors to explore a carefully curated world of textures, colors, and interactive elements. It earned the event’s “Best Instagramable Booth 2025” award, highlighting both the aesthetic appeal and popularity with families and industry professionals.
