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 professional interior designers and is a reflection of that child’s personality, interests, and strength, offering a space of peace, play, and possibility during a difficult time
GROUNDED IN RESEARCH
design elements
Featuring items or photos of people who make the person feel happy can also increase overall mental health. Whatever hobbies the child enjoys, we make room for it in an effort to increase overall mental health.
Colors
Light colored walls allow light to reflect more in a space and make the room feel brighting. Incorporating a favorite color through accessories makes the space feel tailored to the child. Warms colors evoke feelings of happiness or optimism.
De-clutter
A cluttered environment leads to an increased level of cortisol - a stress hormone. A cluttered space can lead to a cluttered mind and may cause one to feel overwhelmed, bogged down, or sad. We work with professional organizers to de-clutter and organize each child's room.
Natural light
By increasing exposure to sunlight, you increase the body’s level of serotonin, a natural antidepressant in the brain. There are several ways to leverage light in a bedroom transformation.
