Comfortable, Kid-Approved Living Room

With a warm leather sofa and two emerald green armchairs, this colorful living room boasts plenty of seating and style. A bright blue rug not only enlivens the floors, but also protects the wood from potential scratches and scuffs.

Drop Zone Tucked Into Stairs

To help the family of five stay organized, designer Lexi Westergard added a drop station to the base of the stairs with hooks and cubbies for shoes and jackets. The bench below works overtime, too, doubling as a comfy seat for afternoon reading.

Warm Pink & Blue Pillows

Peter Dunham pillows in pink and blue add a fun touch of color to the sofa. At the same time, a gold serving tray and ceramic accents balance the more casual pieces for a look that's warm but still sophisticated.
