Living Room
Kid-Friendly & Chic Living Area
Read Theresa Viglizzo's online interior design experience with Spacejoy
Theresa Viglizzo
We’re settling into our first family home and want to create a warm, livable space that works for both kids and adults. While we’ve inherited some budget-friendly furniture, it’s not as kid-friendly as we’d like. With a toddler and a baby on the way, we need a design that prioritizes safety, storage, and comfort while keeping the space cohesive and inviting.

Design Brief
This living space needs to be practical, stylish, and family-friendly. It serves as a play area for young kids, a cozy TV room for parents, and a welcoming space for guests. Since it’s the first room people see, it should feel polished yet livable. Thoughtful storage solutions, soft edges, and durable materials will help make the space functional while maintaining a warm, cohesive design.
Watching Design Experts at Work
It’s so helpful to have a professional guide you through tricky spaces. Spacejoy’s designers make it easy to understand what works best for your home.
Designer Notes
Hi Theresa, Here is the living room showcasing a new leather sofa and a blue chair. It felt more your style to have the warmer neutral tones be a majority of your color palette with smaller pops of color like having the blue chair compared to a large blue sofa. I’ve updated the wall art to still include something textural along with black and white floral prints that have a modern farmhouse appeal to them. Best regards, Frances

Joyous Homes, Happy Customer
It is so nice to have a professional helping understand what to do with hard to fill spaces. I have used spacejoy for two rooms and it is so nice to have a professional helping understand what to do with hard-to-fill spaces. They offer sales on furniture purchases, make purchasing through them easy (and returns too, if needed!), have fantastic customer services for purchasing, and my designer Frances is just fantastic. I highly recommend this service!
