Smart Playrooms® team will handle EVERYTHING for you!
Our Immersive Design Process Takes Care of Every Detail.
White Glove Playroom Design
At the heart of our White Glove Playroom Design experience is our award-winning founder, Karri Bowen-Poole — the visionary who pioneered educational and wellness-based playroom design. Karri’s nationally recognized approach, along with the proprietary Project Playroom® method she developed, has redefined what a children’s space can be.
Her work blends elevated, design-driven aesthetics with deep expertise in child development, sensory integration, and purposeful play — ensuring every environment is not only visually stunning, but meaningfully supports how children move, learn, and grow.
With years of hands-on experience and national recognition for her child-centered philosophy, Karri brings unmatched creativity, technical knowledge, and strategic vision to every project. Families partner with Smart Playrooms® not simply for design, but for the confidence that comes from working with leaders in innovative playroom environments.
Our White Glove Playroom Design is a highly personalized, start-to-finish experience created for families seeking a seamless, expertly guided process. From initial concept development through final installation, our team oversees every detail with precision, clarity, and care.
This service is primarily offered within Westchester County, New York and Fairfield County, Connecticut, where we provide comprehensive design and hands-on project management support.
We are also available to travel for select projects throughout the United States. For projects outside our primary service area, onsite presence is required for project management, coordination, and installation oversight.
White Glove Playroom Design projects typically begin at a $150,000 investment, inclusive of design services, materials, products, installation, and custom millwork.

What Is It
What is White Glove service?
White Glove is our most complete offering. It includes everything in SMART-E™ EDesign — full renders, conceptual drawings, precise measurements, layout plan, and color schemes — plus full project management from design through final installation. That means we handle purchasing all of the products, coordinating deliveries, managing your contractor relationship, and overseeing the installation to ensure the finished space matches the design exactly. You’re involved in the vision, not the logistics.
How is White Glove different from EDesign?
SMART-E™ EDesign delivers a complete, contractor-ready design package — and then you take it from there. White Glove picks up where EDesign leaves off. We purchase the products, manage the vendors, coordinate deliveries, oversee your contractor, and see the project through to a finished, installed space. It’s the difference between receiving a blueprint and having a team build the house.
What does White Glove project management include?
White Glove project management includes: purchasing all specified products on your behalf, coordinating and managing product deliveries, serving as the primary point of contact for your contractor throughout installation, scheduling and sequencing the installation process, and providing on-site oversight to ensure the design is executed to our standard. You are kept informed at every milestone — without having to manage a single vendor call.
Does White Glove include on-site visits?
Yes. On-site visits are a core component of White Glove — for site assessment, installation oversight, and final walkthrough. Travel and related expenses are in addition to the design service investment and are quoted based on your location and project scope. We’ll establish the full investment picture before your project begins.
Process & Timeline
How long does a White Glove project take?
White Glove timelines depend on design complexity, product lead times, and contractor availability. Most projects run 8 to 16 weeks from contract signing to final installation. We build a clear project timeline at kickoff and communicate proactively at every stage. Note: foam pit products and certain custom items carry extended lead times that will be accounted for in your project schedule.
Objection-Handling
I’ve had renovation projects go over budget and over schedule. How does White Glove protect me?
White Glove is designed precisely to prevent that experience. We manage the vendors, the contractors, and the timeline — which eliminates the gaps where projects typically fall apart. We establish a clear investment framework before we begin, and our team handles the follow-through so nothing slips. Our goal is a finished space that exceeds your expectations — delivered on time and without surprises.
Can White Glove be applied to a communal or commercial space?
Yes. White Glove is available for both residential and communal/commercial projects. Please reach out to discuss scope, timeline, and investment.
