[@David.124]

Can we please get new designers now. Especially Darren, I love his designs but we’ve seen so much. I want to see more styles

[@thecharispeters]

Can you make of video of Darren designing different variations of a dorm room?

[@charfree6888]

Please bring back Noz. We'd rather have her "weird but exciting" than Jenny's "weird and boring"🙏🏻

[@lampard9512]

What's Darren ig?

[@farrahfox]

Darren’s room is the only one that truly feels like a child’s room to me. It’s fun and uses playful colors & shapes! I’m not sure who Jenny designs for, but I’ve found all her designs to not be practical or just very boring, respectfully lmao

[@vnsflytrap]

Agreed. I would have loved to see Noz Nozawa's take on this instead. She's all about fun and playfulness.

[@kaikobird]

Jenny’s looks like a napping cube you would rent at an airport…. Nothing childlike about it.

[@farrahfox]

@@kaikobird I rather the napping cube tbh, her design was really giving jail 😭

[@reamdelrey]

Still to this day I don’t understand how she’s considered to be a professional interior designer

[@claudefrou7119]

@@vnsflytrap I miss Noz in this series

[@eloiseglazenborg2039]

Darren's room is an actual kids room, I love it! Jenny's room could be a college kids room, and it looks pretty boring. Chiara's room looks more like a guest room where a kid is temporarily staying rather than an actual kids room

[@EH23831]

Chiara’s looked unfinished - she needed storage for clothes, toys etc

[@paulb1140]

Yeah, Chiara's room, particularly the colors, is beautiful, but not very "kid-like". Maybe kids that are extremely studious, but most kids would be bored and not particularly comfortable in there.

[@Prisca_Eleazar]

You described it BEST

[@BrunoKalix]

What an accurate description!

[@LydiaWeber-ok7vs]

truee

[@izzyepp]

Darren’s room is a DREAM. So whimsical! Jenny’s room is giving fancy scandinavian prison cell 😐 Mostly because of the lack of softness and the tiny window.

[@stefphf7456]

Yesss I was waiting for someone to say it!! It looks like a nice prison cell

[@nadegejuste2638]

A Nice prison. LOL

[@faithkramer524]

I was thinking prison cell also LOL 😢

[@chartierart5794]

Darren seems to be the only one who understood the assignment. The others don't seem to even know kids at all.

[@Manjoethearchitect]

He always delivers.

[@IGuess...]

@@Manjoethearchitect NOT ALWAYS. 🫤

[@AllThingsSoul]

I disagree. His room was looked very adult-like.

[@andydufresne5297]

The assignment gave him a window that he didn't like, so he just decided to create a different window in a different location. How is that "understanding the assignment"? 🤔The one who really understood was Jenny, who created a harmonious space that was high on functionality and can also be easily accessorized/re-accessorized to meet the needs of the growing child.

[@dzizs03]

I think the rendering didn't really do justice to Jenny's wallpaper, the shading made it look like tiles, and made the whole design feel a bit sterile and cold. Darren's ofc is a full fantasy, and I think Chiara's needed a bit more functionality and obviously storage.

[@petrostzekos8914]

Storage was a little bit of an issue for all of them, especially in a room so large. Tho Darren took better care of it than the others. Also Chiara’s design is the least gender neutral of them all..

[@tysonlinwood2446]

@@petrostzekos8914 Darren made some storage on either side of the bed which is quite a decent amount of space

[@Oogabooga814]

Agreed about the wallpaper, I think the scale was off too? When she help up the sample it didn't make sense that the rectangles would be that big in the room

[@Rabbsss]

yes, I was looking for this comment! She wasnt my favorite, but still, that wall has nothing to do with the wallpaper she showed (with cobalt blue, some red, etc) The person that made the render just put a tile instead.

[@lauraslonina]

Darren never disappoints! I absolutely ADORE the little mermaid room. The wallpaper, the seahorse lamps, and basically EVERYTHING! I love how creative his designs are! Big thank you to AD for this series!

[@evelynzlon9492]

Darren's room is ingenious. The removable decorations are distinctly youthful but the architecture, wallpaper and light fixtures are classy and ageless. This way the room can grow with the child simply by changing the bright bedding for something more subdued. He also creatively interpreted the canopy bed and seamlessly used one of its drapes to curtain the partition.

[@AllThingsSoul]

I'd have to disagree this time. It did not have a child-like feel to it and it was very cluttered.

[@andydufresne5297]

Darren arbitrarily moved the window. I don't appreciate when a designer decides it's okay to ignore the architectural constraints provided in the assignment.

[@rebahensley5323]

Darren 100%. Jenny's room looks like a psych ward. Lol. Chiara's room while beautiful, is simply not childlike. Darren's room is kid friendly and upscale at the same time. I love it.

[@gracebonifabulous]

That's where was at too, definitely

[@itsthepens]

I just posted, then scrolled to see others’ impressions of the rooms. Thumbs up for also hating the psych ward vibe 😂

[@poppydcastro4050]

i agree! even at my age now I would love to have darrens room!

[@ColtraneAndRain]

Psych ward! You nailed it😂

[@bellareid3488]

Exactly what i thought about Jennys room lol.

[@angiebjourney]

Darren does it again! It's amazing how he can design for so many audiences. No matter what the challenge is, he always knocks it out of the park. Please keep making this series. It's the best!!

[@C2C.]

...but always include Darren on the panel!

[@princesszhorne]

Yesssssssss

[@grllwrfr]

i can't help but wish AD had invited noz (the designer who was featured in previous videos in this series) for this challenge!! she has such a playful and whimsical style and i would have loved to see her take on a children's space!

[@starveartist]

Her things for adults are way out there, but yes, she would have been better as a replacement for barely awake Jenny

[@grllwrfr]

@@starveartist couldn't agree more - i personally find noz's designs to be hit or miss but at least she would have brought life and fun into her children's bedroom mockup!

[@sadie513]

I do miss Noz! Bring her back, AD!

[@cpowell6070]

Bring back NOZ! She has a design esthetic that makes you think. 😂

[@kristinakharin3412]

I agree so much with this! She would have done something amazing I believe

[@malikaminor]

Notice that Darren is the only one having fun and seems excited I think that shines through in the way he’s the only one with an actual kids room and not a white collar asylum

[@nickie9332]

AD should do this format but the designers have to design around an architecturally historic room where they can't significantly change the details of the room. I'd love to seem them navigate around heritage styles and update it in a fresh way without changing the placement of doors or windows or removing walls.

[@clarafernandes4590]

That's not the format proposal, there are other séries to do it

[@Tbhyeah]

@@clarafernandes4590 perhaps you could offer a link to one of those types of videos instead of being dismissive? Since you seem to know that they exist? I would also like to see a video that follows a similar format.

[@akask6458]

Would also love more of these shows. I would find it interesting if they had to design rooms using a particular style eg minimalism, traditional, midcentury etc.

[@AllThingsSoul]

No! That would be boring. In reality, a re-design of a house involves moving walls and windows.

[@adatewithkate]

I loooove that idea. I'm a designer and those types of situations arise all the time, even in my field (brand identity design). Very practical for an interior designer, especially if they live in a major city with historic areas

[@jpaoxx85]

At first I thought i would love Jenny's design but it was looking too cold for a kids room, started resembling a bathroom, hospital with those walls... on the other hand Darren's it was full of life and imagination... loved how he made the design personal. Great series, keep them coming.

[@AllThingsSoul]

Darren's room looked cluttered and adult like with no focal point.

[@jpaoxx85]

@@AllThingsSoul how does it look like an adult room to you? genuinely curious.

[@wildflower1397]

Darren's room is amazing. The other two have very little imagination, and are completely impractical for kids. Hard to reach high shelves, desktops supported by chains, little floor space to play, dark or without much natural light, not enough storage, no whimsy or cheerful colors, etc.

[@kirsteneasdale5707]

Chiara’s is all over the place. Darren’s is the best. It’s a room I would want to spend time in. Jenny’s looks like a room in which someone would ‘do time’.

[@AllThingsSoul]

Darren's room was cluttered with no focal point. I usually like his renditions.

[@suereed3474]

She just needed to use a color other than beige. Hers is the only one that's very usable. A regular desk, a couch ( maybe for a friend sleeping over). But no closets. Hmmm.

[@topclosetsacto5313]

Darren for the win- again. Jenny's felt like a dentist's office, Chiara's like a guest room. Love this series!

[@rosem.5899]

Dentists office was my exact thought too! Baffled by how she described that wallpaper as 'playful' lol

[@ginacrusco234]

I just adore watching three very different imaginations run wild! If I had to extrapolate, I'd say the child growing up in Darren's room will be creative, eccentric, and self-affirming; in Chiara's room, perfectionistic, prim, and restrained; and Jenny's room, repressed and lonely.

[@rebahensley5323]

A Darren for Darren. A Chiara for Chiara, A Jenny for Jenny; a cutter who needs a safe space.

[@atmosphericrelations]

Darren is pure magic. Thinking outside the box and delivering such a brilliant exposé of a children’s room. Excellence!

[@JD-bt2cr]

Darren, as always, the King of design!

[@xoxofashiondiva]

Jenny's looks very clinical, lmao. Chiara's is a little all over the place, not very cohesive, color and style-wise. LOVE Darren's fantasy room, per usual!

[@marewaltwms1]

Darren's room is absolutely breathtaking. I want this room as an adult.

[@AllThingsSoul]

I didn't think so at all. Cluttered with no focal point.

[@holidaygirl1224]

“Will last a lifetime if you take care of them” this made me chuckle because lord knows most kids do the exact opposite of taking care of expensive things 😅

[@elenuvien]

I'm usually not a huge fan of Darren's designs as I look at them through whether if I could comfortably and practically live in them (they're creative and beautiful but often would be hard to live in on daily basis) but in this case, his style fits perfectly! the room is stunning and could make any younger child happy. it's also interesting that he actually made it more practical than many of his other designs, I wonder if on purpose with a child in mind or if it just happened to be like that.

[@C2C.]

Darren always delights and surprises me, and he knocks it out of the park again! Just so creative and pulled together. His enthusiasm and energy comes through. Chiara's looks as if a granny tried to design a room in her house for her grandkids. Jenny's is as if Eeyore designed a dorm room. (And wall-to-wall carpeting isn't healthy for keeping allergies at bay...)

[@L_R..]

Y’all should’ve put Noz Nozawa to design this space. I feel like her designs would’ve been so interesting to see in a space like this. Especially since she did the space savers that other time with her eclectic design

[@lydiad3575]

Yes! I wanted so see Noz and Darren’s

[@labyrinthminds_]

[@evebanigo]

Darren made magic with this room! ❤

[@rosemaryjackson4406]

Darren understood the assignment. His room was beautiful and more child inspired. Jenny and Chiara seemed to have lost their way. Jenny's room looked like a fancy padded cell. Chiara's room seemed more like a design for an older woman's guest room.

[@andydufresne5297]

If Darren understood the assignment, his window would be the same size and in the same place the 2 other designers' windows were.

[@ford5612]

Darren is the best! Love his vision! To me, his design would more likely fit to a child than Chiara's and Jenny's designs. Plus his style is so cosy and it's a real flight of fantasy and imagination.

[@milabolognini6305]

Darren ❤🔥👑 I NEED an episode with Lula, Noz & Darren. The amount of passion and creativity in one room…

[@clarafernandes4590]

I love how Darren's approach can be easily adapted to many themes (jungle, fairytale, farm etc). Amazing use of the space, love it!

[@yessismiles]

[@jamiemasterson3029]

Darren's was my favorite room, I think his design had a lot of personality and depth. I think it would stimulate a child's imagination and creativity, yet they could wind down for a peaceful sleep in that alcove. I simply love this series. I'm always trilled when new content is loaded.

[@keniacomk13]

Chiara de Rege: put a shelf to high to be used by a child and a desk to high eather. Darren: pointy shell mirror, white carpet... i hope the child doesn't like drawing and paintings on the floor like most children. I was the least convinced by Jenny but the result is the most practical for a 8 to 16 child/teenager, it's the best version for me.

[@pinchofsalt4566]

Why has no one mentioned the swing that is directly against a wall. Is it meant to actually be used or just for show?

[@theartoflolita935]

Darren always understands the assignment. This is the perfect room for a kid. It's very whimsical, fun, colorful, and elegant. It feels comfortable and functional. I love this room so much: especially the seahorse lamps!

[@erinwhipple4666]

Jenny: this just doesn’t look like a kid’s room imo. It’s so modern with muted tones. And what kid has a plant in their room?? Darren: we love a themed kid’s room lol. This looks great! It’s not too heavy on the underwater motif, but you can tell it’s for a kid who says they want toe a marine biologist when they grow up. And the curtains around the bed create the perfect ambience for telling scary stories at sleepovers. That rug is not gonna stay clean, tho. Chiara: thank you, Chiara for including fun activities like a swing and a climbing wall! I was waiting for one of them to do that bc what kid didn’t want to have those sorts of things in their bedroom but their parents wouldn’t let them??? Fantastic job. I also love her use of color. Kids typically don’t want to be surrounded by neutrals, they like saturated colors (looking at you, Jenny).

[@emzostyles2318]

This will sound rude but is it just me or Chiara’s designs and arrangements always give me grandma chic or guest house/guest room vibes

I would’ve liked to see different ways for the child to put a stamp on their room. Children are learning about who they are, some sort of board or drawing surface for them to create and bring in ideas would facilitate that.

Darren‘s room is fabulous! Subtle fantasy if you ask me. I would live there in a heartbeat!

[@lolanstan]

Darren's room would be my dream room, for sure. All about the whimsy, creativity, play + sea. Just *love*!!

[@mariaseppanen3609]

Darren´s room is really nice, I like everything exept the chair, which seems hard ...the colours Harmonize and the design is soft and inviting...

They were all great designs. Darren made an absolute dream themed kids bedroom, it was very accurate. Jenny's room was not perfect for kids, but was something pretty lovable as you grow up, but the lack of playfulness was felt. Chiara's room was thoughtful and practical but it could be more sophisticated with a lesser felt blank space.

This is fun and insightful. Love the variety and different styles each of the designers brought forth.

Darren’s is a dream! I loved everything!!! Loved the comfy rug and throw pillows so the child has a place to play with their toys and have to beautiful closets to store them neatly in. I was a little surprised none of the designers included a dresser. I seriously can’t stop looking at Darren’s design though. The desk and chair are stunning and look like something a child would love (and an adult)

Darren's designs are always surprising and full of high-quality ideas. This kid's room makes me want to have it too!

Such an interesting video format with such wildly different results!! Bravo! Designers should always show their finished concepts - SO helpful for the consumer to pick a compatico partner! Thanks AD!

[@grnge666]

where's the storage though?

[@nthatomalope]

Darren's is the only one to have a bit of that with what looks like draws under the bed.

Darren included two closets flanking the bed, under-bed drawers, and a proper desk.

I love Darren's room. Definitely a kid's room, although I'm not sure I've outgrown it. What a great desk! I would add reachable storage and a floor to ceiling corkboard for hanging art, etc.
