What I love the most about our living room is the layout. We can comfortably fit a dining area and a small workspace. I also like that it can hold the whole family with friends over. Typically I work out of here. Either on the work desk or from the dining table, and we spend a lot of time watching TV on the couch. We now want to turn it into a warm and welcoming room in joyful colors and whimsy.

We wanted to replace everything in the living room other than the coffee table and the sofa. Our living room also features 2 built-in shelves and a fireplace, which needed some serious styling. I was particularly interested in getting some pieces of art to hang on the walls, and my husband was keen on adding comfortable seating - single chairs to compliment the sofa, dining chairs, and the office chair.

Watching Design Experts at Work

Lauren drew up the layout of the room, and it included the builtin shelves. She also marked out the dining area and the workspace. After which she curated a mood board of products with elements of rustic and mid-century-modern to bring about the much needed warmth.

Designer Notes

I had a lot of fun designing your Living Room! In concept one, you will see that we included elements to create a rustic and modern design. In concept two, we took a different approach by incorporating Mid-Century Modern pieces. Both designs combine neutral tones to create a cozy and inviting Living Room. We hope you love your designs!

Using the Spacejoy App to Experience my Designs in 3D

I received a notification that two concepts in two different styles were ready on the Spacejoy App. Have you ever experienced anything in 3D? I’ve never! So, with child-like enthusiasm, I explored two versions of my living room that was clearly designed with careful consideration addressing every single pointer from our brief.

Lauren was thorough with the design. I didn’t have a single feedback to offer, and this took me by surprise because I am incredibly particular and picky when it comes to buying things around the house. The only addition was I asked for a lamp on the work desk, instead of the overhead light. We fixed that right away and closed my project requirements within 10 days!
