8 Kid-Friendly Living Room Decorating Ideas

This formal Atlanta living room was made less serious and more suitable for little ones with the addition of colorful touches and kid-inclusive accessories.

Looking to add more color to your great room without bringing in clutter? Display art supplies in clear acrylic containers to bring a vibrant touch to shelves or built-ins far from children's reach.

Give your child a special spot in your great room with a pillow featuring his or her name and birthday. In addition to providing lumbar support, this will designate a comfy place to perch or cuddle up with Mom or Dad. These can be made DIY style or purchased at Etsy shop PDP Studio.

Soft, versatile seating is a must in rooms shared by kids and adults. Plush, upholstered pieces like poufs or storage ottomans are lightweight and easy to move around. Versatile seating also comes in handy should extra playmates arrive, freeing up sofa space for adults.
