Smart Playrooms®

Award-Winning Playroom Design

Design Services for the Modern Playroom

Meet Your Designer

Founder-Led. Educator-Designed.

Karri Bowen taught preschool, elementary and middle school before founding Smart Playrooms® more than a decade ago. She holds a Master's in Education and was the very first designer to mount monkey bars on a ceiling.  

Today Karri designs every Playroom Edit® and Smart-E® EDesign plan, joins your Zoom personally and leads every commercial design review. You are not handed off. You design with the person who built the method. 

As a boutique, founder-led studio, we keep our founder, Karri Bowen, M.Ed., at the center of every design. Whether you are starting with a few products or building from scratch, there's a service designed for exactly where you are.

The Playroom Edit®

Expert Layout Guidance. No Renders. Real Results.

$1,500

Before your Zoom, our founder, Karri Bowen, M.Ed., a former classroom teacher, reviews your questionnaire, photos and product wishlist and prepares your color directions and initial layout concept. 

She then joins your 30-minute session personally to refine the plan with you, so your time is spent deciding, not explaining. Your layout and shopping list, in our chosen designer color scheme, arrive within 3 business days.

This is not a product list. It's a fully prepared, expertly guided design plan — built around your children and the products in our store.

Full-Service. Fully Handled.

Consultation: $750 | 30 Minutes with Karri Bowen

Primarily serving Westchester County, New York and Fairfield County, Connecticut, with a limited number of select projects accepted nationally each year. Budgets (including design fees, contractor services and products) start at $150k. 

This is not a design consultation. It is the beginning of a complete transformation.

Commercial Playroom Design

Built for Shared Spaces. Designed for Real Children.

Apartment complexes, clubhouses, stay-and-play spaces, neighborhood community spaces — Smart Playrooms® brings the same intentionality to commercial environments that we bring to family homes.

Every commercial project is developed through our proprietary design process and led by our founder, Karri Bowen, M.Ed. Karri leads each design review meeting so the same educator-informed eye that shapes our family playrooms shapes your shared space. Built-in revision rounds keep the project on track from concept to final plan.
