Designing Dreams
Transforming the bedrooms of children fighting cancer, creating joyful, personalized spaces where they can rest, heal, and feel like kids again. ♥
Our Mission
Designing Dreams transforms the bedrooms of children actively fighting cancer, creating joyful, personalized spaces where they can rest, heal, and just be kids. We work closely with hospital child life specialists and social workers, experts who know their patients best, to identify children who would benefit from extra comfort and care at home. Whether a child is facing extended time in isolation, mobility challenges, relapse, or financial hardship, these trusted hospital partners help us reach those who need a healing space the most. Every room is designed by a professional interior designer and is a reflection of that child’s personality, interests, and strength, offering a space of peace, play, and possibility during a difficult time.

Larissa's Dream Bedroom
Larissa is an inspiring 11-year-old warrior bravely fighting leukemia with a long treatment ahead. She dreams of a bedroom that feels like her own peaceful forest, a place bursting with art supplies, cozy lighting, and room to play, create, and rest. Because of treatment, Larissa’s mobility is limited, so her new space needs to be safe, accessible, and filled with everything she loves: her favorite books, art materials, soft nightlights, and smart storage to keep her space organized and calm.
We are so excited to partner with Whit At Home for this incredible transformation coming this Fall!
