The Little Things is a full-service interior design studio specializing in creating beautiful spaces for children.

We’re dreamers and doers. With a blend of creativity and precision, we transform ordinary rooms into extraordinary ones. Every detail, big or small, is carefully considered to create a space that’s as meaningful as it is functional—and most importantly, grows with your child. From the perfect paint color and custom-made lighting to family heirlooms and locally sourced art, we meticulously curate every element to reflect your style and vision.

As your trusted design partner, we guide you through every step of the creative journey, from the initial concept to the final installation, ensuring a seamless process that allows you to enjoy the experience as much as the dreamy result. With each project, our goal is to help unlock the full potential of your child’s room, with a living space that is both comfortable and inviting.

Alex Spielman

As the founder of The Little Things, I’ve always been passionate about creating spaces that spark imagination and joy. My background in the tech world, combined with a lifelong love of design, allows me to bring a unique perspective to every project.

Inspired by my own two children, this business was born out of my desire to create spaces that are both personal and visionary. And as a daughter of an architect and a granddaughter of a textile designer, I’ve always had a keen eye for detail and a love for pretty things.


The ability to blend the old and new, the classic and contemporary, is what sets The Little Things apart in the children’s design world. It’s been a privilege to transform countless rooms into magical places—one detail at a time.

“I treat my home as a sanctuary and understand the importance of being in a space that is both beautiful and thoughtfully considered.”

Alex is incredibly talented, professional, and responsive, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. She listened carefully to my ideas and translated them into beautiful, functional spaces that my kids love. My boys are now excited to spend time in their room and show their friends during play dates. It has also elated the family dynamic and mood during bedtime.”
