Why she loves it:
“As a full-time designer with three children, family time is cherished,” says interior designer Joni Spear. “The family room is designed to be a vibrant space that naturally draws us together.” The bright fuchsia walls are happy and hospitable and pop against the white leather sectional sofa and molding. “Bold colors were inspired by the rug, which grounds the space and plays nicely off of the wall palette,” says Joni. The flat-screen TV and family computer make this room a popular hangout for the whole family — and as Joni describes it, “a wonderfully endless stream of friends.”
Why the judges love it:
The white molding against the bold walls in this bright space add chic sophistication and formality to a relaxed, inviting family room. With an eyepleasing layout and welcoming furnishings, the designer has blended elements of refined style with a joyful, family-friendly color palette.
