A colorful and cheerful living room designed for a family with kids

Every time you design and decorate a home, the most important thing you have to take into consideration is who it’s going to live there. If it’s a single couple then the strategy is usually creating a simple and casual décor where you can also include a few sophisticated and fancy elements. In the case of a family with children and maybe also with pets, the strategy changes and the focus goes on functionality and practicality. However, this doesn’t mean that style is out of the mix.
