Living Room
Charming Family Living Room
Read Kate Porter's online interior design experience with Spacejoy
Kate Porter
We recently moved into our new house and want to create a stylish, functional living space that reflects our taste and lifestyle. My husband and I have different design preferences—he gravitates toward modern furniture, while I lean more toward a farmhouse, rustic, or mid-century style. With a young daughter and plans to expand our family soon, a kid-friendly space with durable, easy-to-clean fabrics and finishes is essential
Maria Castillero
Maria loves a good transformation story. Bringing people’s vision for their space to life and watching them swoon is the most satisfying aspect of her work. She believes that adding functional details is a tell-tale of a good design
Design Brief
I’m looking to create a warm and inviting living space that perfectly blends my love for farmhouse and rustic charm with my husband's preference for modern design. I’d love to incorporate fun and functional elements in the built-ins that are stylish yet non-breakable. Ultimately, I want a space that feels both comfortable and chic, catering to our family’s everyday needs
Watching Design Experts at Work
I loved seeing how they took my ideas and transformed them into beautiful concepts. Their attention to detail and understanding of my family's needs made the entire process enjoyable. It felt like collaborating with friends who genuinely wanted to create the perfect space for us
Designer Notes
Hello Kate, thank you for your feedback. Here is the revised design for you. We have tried the best to incorporate all the specifications according to your feedback. Hope you will like it. We have selected a similar but darker sectional (from Joybird which has a sooner lead time as you expressed your concern) and lighter colored arm chairs for the design. Throw pillows and the pouf have been coordinated accordingly. We have included end tables with some decor at both the corners to enhance the overall look and style of the space. Please let me know your thoughts on this design Thank you.
Using the Spacejoy App to Experience Designs in 3D
I was able to visualize how the different elements would come together in my room. It was incredibly intuitive and allowed me to explore various layouts and color schemes.
Photorealistic images or 3D renders
The quality was stunning, making it easy to envision the final design. I was particularly impressed with how the designer selected furniture that not only looked great but also fit our needs—think kid and pet-friendly fabrics and clever storage solutions for toys. I can’t wait to come back for future rooms!

Joyous Homes, Happy Customer
Spacejoy is great! It was a fairly simple process, but I was amazed at the 3D model created of my room and the incredible job that the designer did choosing furniture that not only looked great but worked with our needs (i.e., kid and pet-friendly fabrics, places to store toys etc.) Will definitely come back for future rooms
