Smith Firestone Associates — design for the powerful

Lyles family has owned this home in Phoenix, Arizona, since the 1950s Until 2012, Christopher’s grandparents lived here, and after their death, his entire large family moved here: his wife, Failon, and four sons. “When there are so many children in the house, the main thing for me is that the interior should be simple, neat and bright,” the hostess says. Here, indeed, a perfect balance is observed: for example, in the living room, leather armchairs, a vintage caffeine table and a gray sofa make the interior classic, and bright pillows and a carpet in turn enliven it. Four children — this is another problem, it is necessary that everyone has their own space, but at the same time everything should be combined. The bedroom for boys is two bunk beds with a comfortable, and most importantly safe, ladder. For a quick morning gathering, a double sink was made in the bathroom. In general, the interior is very bright and colorful; you won’t immediately tell what creates a special mood here — bright colors or children’s running around and smiles. In any case, in this house it is already impossible to imagine one without the other — happiness is here at every step.
