Living Room Makeover for a Newly Single Mom in Search of Her Own Style

Newly divorced single mom Cait and her son Henry spend much of their time in the living room of their rental. It’s where Cait works remotely and where Henry plays. With a fresh update, it now reflects the modern, chic style Cait wants for herself, and it also functions for their family. Cait says the makeover helps her feel more like an adult and a mom.

Before, the space technically worked but it lacked sophistication. One of Patti’s first decisions to level up the space was to move the curtain rods closer to the ceiling. She also flipped the placement of the seating and the television.

A new customizable sofa with chaise made it easy to configure the furniture to the space, rather than the other way around.

A simple round coffee table and textured throw pillow contribute a bit of the boho style Cait desired.
