Today I want to share with you the last makeover of the series! It\u2019s all about transitional style and living with a lot of young children! The family that received this makeover is a large one- with six busy boys in ages from one to eleven years old there\u2019s always a lot of movement in the house!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This makeover wouldn\u2019t have happened without the generous sponsors who donated furniture and <\/em>wallpaper- I\u2019m so grateful that made this family dream come true!<\/em><\/p>\n

So from the design perspective I knew we needed sturdy family friendly furniture<\/strong>, that would be perfect for fort building while being sophisticated enough for adults- as it\u2019s their only living room and they host a lot! The mom told me that ever since they had four kids people stopped inviting them over- that\u2019s why she started to host every weekend! <\/p>\n

Let me show you the before:<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

And here is the after!<\/h2>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I decided on a colour palette of the blues and greens for this room- they evoke the nature that this family loves and are the boys and parents favorite colors!<\/p>\n

And I decided to start with ample seating options. They needed a lot of setting space but I didn\u2019t want it to look boring and so I decided to mix and match different styles here.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

I started by choosing this beautiful navy blue sofa from Cozey<\/a> ( from Altus collection<\/strong>) \u2013 which is large enough to sit all kids together! And then I choose this very sturdy two seater from Ciello collection<\/strong><\/strong> \u2013 in the most perfect charcoal colour- that is just so cosy and comfortable- perfect for snuggling up with a book!<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

I also added these beautiful green velvet chairs<\/a> from the Altus collection<\/strong> \u2013 they look so elegant but they are very sturdy and so conforatbel!<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I decided to add wallpaper on the wall behind the tv- it was a bit awkward as it has an unusual angle and it\u2019s first thing you see when you walk in \u2013 but by adding this wallpaper from Wallpaper Direct<\/strong><\/a>, all of a sudden it have become a great focal point for this unusually shaped room! And it adds a fun punchy vibe \u2013 while being very sophisticated with it\u2019s geometrical pattern!<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

And since every transitional space needs a bit of wood-because wood adds warmth and a traditional vibe- so here I choose the Stella coffee\u00a0table<\/a>, side tables and the media units<\/strong>. They all share a common fresh and contemporary shape, and the lovely color of wood balances the cool blue tones of this room. Plus with a liftable top they can be used for drawing and homework- or working from home days. As for the media unit, it has so much storage it\u2019s perfect for all the family games the boys have!<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

How to design a transitional living room :<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Choose furniture in traditional shapes and materials.<\/li>\n
  2. Decide on a colour palette of neutrals mixed with pops of rich colours. <\/li>\n
  3. Add wood accents \u2013 wood adds warmth and traditional vibe to any space!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And if you\u2019re designing with young kids in mind make sure your furniture are sturdy, keep your tables tops minimal, and make sure you have lots of storage! <\/p>\n
