High ceilings, clean furniture lines, bold COLOR, plus art and keepsakes that tell a story. These are a few of my favorite things and what a great starting point for this city family room refresh.

BEFORE

The kids stuff can easily take over, but it doesn't have to! The goal was to declutter, add a bold rug, and restyle the lighting and bookshelves.

After

A happy, bold rug choice, decluttering + styling shelves, and using toy bins to create limits on what lives in the room finish it off.
