In anticipation of Christmas joy, a cozy family home, inhabited by youthful parents, a playful toddler, and their faithful canine companion, seeks a revitalizing touch in their living room. Yearning for warmth and festivity, Dārta, Gatis, and their small daughter embark on a delightful makeover journey to welcome the holiday spirit anew.

Before: a makeshift arrangement of old and new

Amidst the family abode resides a living room, a trove of eclectic charm, adorned with a blend of worn and contemporary elements. This well-lived space beckons for a tender renovation, eager to rejuvenate its mismatched yet nostalgic aura into a harmonious, revitalized haven.

After: a relaxing haven for the whole family

Within the serene tones of a renovated living room lies a cozy haven – a relax corner. Refreshed in calm, natural shades exuding warmth, a snug sofa with washable covers awaits, catering perfectly to a family with a toddler and a dog. Completing the scene, a natural jute rug adds inviting texture

TV and storage solution

The Interior Designer recommends using the multifunctional BESTÅ storage solution, blending closed and open compartments. The adaptability of the BESTÅ system, customizable to individual needs, offers versatility. Moreover, the unit's ability to expand in the future ensures a seamless integration, providing functional and flexible storage for evolving spaces and requirements.
 

Play, order, play, repeat

Within the living room oasis, there is a vibrant kid's corner. Alīna recommends storing toys in boxes to reduce visual noise and foster a serene ambiance. She advises to opt for a versatile storage system like TROFAST with lightweight plastic boxes doubling as drawers, empowering toddlers to independently access and stow away toys, encouraging a playful and organized space.

Extra space for the most favourite things

Living room storage can be enhanced with an additional open shelf unit. It is great for showcasing prized possessions and cherished memorabilia elegantly, granting a dedicated space to exhibit most treasured and beautiful items, infusing the room with personal charm and significance.

Dining solution in a living room

A dining solution within the living room emphasizes the significance of thoughtful zoning in layout planning. Establishing clear divisions harmonizes the space, ensuring a functional and inviting dining area seamlessly integrated into the living space.
 

How to set a table for a festive mood

The Designer has created an inviting Christmas table ambiance, skillfully blending serene natural tones and textures. Rustic elements adorn the setting – woven seagrass placemats and fabric napkins – enhanced by an artificial garland entwined with twinkling string lights. Flickering candles add warmth, a perfect balance emerges, blending tranquility with a festive Christmas spirit.
 

Christmas spirit in the tree

The adorned Christmas tree dazzles with finesse! It's adorned with a mix of traditional and modern ornaments, lights strategically layered for a warm glow and a themed color palette for cohesion and a personalized, heartfelt touch. Latest trends suggest mixing colours and adding both the adornments you already have at home and some new ones.
