Get the Look: Project De Mayo
Let’s set the scene:
After a fun young couple and their family purchased a gorgeous home in Del Mar, California, they called in the Design Detectives (that’s us!) to help them transform it into their dream home. They knew what they wanted: A stylish, comfortable, and functional space that was a kid-friendly, go-to place for friends and family to gather. If you want the details on the full project, visit the Project De Mayo Reveal blog post here.

here’s the space before we tackled it:
and here’s the finished result:
We took the space from an empty and unused room to a cozy, functional, and family-friendly living area.

first up, the family room
To achieve the Project De Mayo look in your own family room, focus on form and function. You want your family room or living area to be cozy yet stylish. Bring in easy pieces, neutral shades and patterns with a few fun pops, and some unique textures for added visual interest.

finally, the play area
Although you’d never be able to tell! The ample storage keeps things hidden away and organized, while the decor is fun for kids but refined enough to match the rest of the space. Spoiler alert: This space is so multi-functional that it pulls double duty as an entertaining zone!
