Imagination Leads.

Joy Follows.
Welcome to Now & Next Studio!
We’re an Atlanta-based interior design studio focused on the spaces where childhood happens—bedrooms, playrooms, dorm rooms, and everything in between. Using human-centered design, we co-create with kids and families to build rooms that reflect who they are and who they’re becoming.
Why Families Choose Now & Next
We know kids—and we know design.
With roots in education, psychology, and human-centered design, we bring a unique lens to every project. We think about more than just paint colors and pillows. We think about what helps kids grow, what sparks imagination, and what makes everyday life a little more joyful. That’s why we return to these essential truths every time we design for growing humans:
-
We design spaces that support joy in all its forms: quiet, loud, silly, colorful, calm, and deeply felt. Joy isn’t a bonus, it’s the whole point.
-
Every child should have space to imagine, tinker, and express themselves freely. We make room for mess-making, project-starting, and big ideas that haven’t found their shape yet.
-
We take play seriously. It’s how kids learn, connect, and grow. Our designs create room for curiosity, movement, invention—and lots of fun.
-
We celebrate secondhand treasures, vintage finds, and creative reuse. Whether we’re repurposing what you already have or mixing in something new, we model creativity, care, and sustainability in ways kids can see, feel, and learn from.
-
Design can offer emotional safety, comfort, and a sense of belonging. We create spaces where kids feel seen, centered, and safe enough to be fully themselves.
-
Our spaces are flexible, layered, and designed to evolve—just like the kids who live in them.
-
We ask. We listen. We treat kids as creative partners in the process—and use human-centered design to build spaces that reflect their voice.
