Kristen Forgione x Urbanwalls: A Creative Fusion of Organic Desert Living

At Urbanwalls, we’re thrilled to collaborate with Kristen Forgione, the creative force behind THELIFESTYLEDCO, a brand that has redefined Organic Desert Living™. What started as a simple blog in 2012 has grown into a full-fledged interior design firm, retail destination, and digital learning experience. Through her expertise, Kristen seamlessly blends modern aesthetics with natural textures, making every space feel curated yet effortless. A Vision Rooted in Passion Kristen’s journey in design began long before THELIFESTYLEDCO became a household name. From a young age, she had an eye for detail and a passion for transforming spaces. Over the years, she channeled that love into building a brand that now encompasses interior design services, two retail locations, an online boutique, and a carefully curated selection of fashion, furniture, and home decor. Her design philosophy? Creating spaces that feel both refined and inviting, where bold choices meet natural beauty. The Power of Personal Style Kristen describes her aesthetic as refined but never predictable. She draws inspiration from her travels, the latest trends in fashion, and the surrounding desert landscapes. Whether it’s through statement lighting, vintage accents, or layered textures, her designs are an extension of her personality—sophisticated yet effortlessly livable. Bringing Organic Desert Living™ to Walls Our partnership with Kristen is a natural fit. At Urbanwalls, we believe walls should be an extension of personal style, just like furniture or decor. Whether it’s a statement mural, bold wallpaper, or minimal decals, wall decor has the power to transform a space instantly. Kristen's approach to design embraces this philosophy, using wall treatments as a way to add depth, personality, and warmth to a home. A Love for Bold Choices Kristen isn’t afraid to take risks when it comes to color and pattern. If given the chance, she’d love to drench her walls in daring shades like chartreuse or deep red—choices that speak to her fearless approach to design. And while neutral palettes often define her work, it’s those unexpected pops of color or dramatic elements that make her designs truly stand out. Thoughtfully Curated Spaces Kristen’s signature style isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating an experience. She invests in statement pieces, from unique lighting fixtures to high-quality textiles, ensuring that every space feels intentional. The same philosophy applies to THELIFESTYLEDCO’s retail offerings, where customers can find fashion-forward home decor, furniture, and accessories that reflect Kristen’s distinctive point of view. The Joy of Collaboration One of the most rewarding aspects of working with Kristen is the shared excitement for creativity. Seeing her vision come to life in real spaces—whether through a home renovation, a new construction project, or a beautifully styled boutique—is inspiring. She values connection, not just with her team and clients, but with the wider design community, making every project feel personal and meaningful. Looking Ahead With over a decade of experience, Kristen has built THELIFESTYLEDCO into a brand that continues to push boundaries. Whether it’s through innovative design projects, expanding her retail presence, or inspiring others through digital learning, her influence on the design world is undeniable. And at Urbanwalls, we’re proud to be a part of that journey. If you’re looking to infuse your space with Organic Desert Living™ and a touch of Kristen’s refined aesthetic, check out THELIFESTYLEDCO here. We can’t wait to see what’s next in this exciting collaboration!

DIY Hallway Decor: Mural Installation Within Wainscotting

Have you ever looked at your hallway and thought, “This space needs a little personality”? That’s exactly what Kristen Buckhout from @livedin_interiors did when she turned her previously plain white hallway into a stunning masterpiece, full of charm and character. By combining classic wainscoting with our Riverside Meadows Wall Mural, Kristen gave her hallway a complete transformation that we’re so excited to share with you. Ready for a little DIY inspiration? Let’s jump into Kristen’s fabulous hallway makeover! A Vision for Change: Kristen’s Inspiration Kristen’s hallway was the epitome of "meh" – blank white walls, zero pizzazz, and nothing to give it that wow factor. But instead of leaving it bare, she decided to give it some much-needed attention. She envisioned creating a space that brought warmth and tranquility into her home, and that’s where our Riverside Meadows Wall Mural came into play. Kristen also wanted to elevate the space by adding wainscoting, which framed each mural panel beautifully. The result? A hallway that feels both timeless and unique. What’s a Wall Mural Anyway? Let’s clear up any confusion about the difference between wallpaper and a wall mural. Wallpaper typically repeats the same pattern on each panel, while a wall mural is one cohesive scene spread across multiple panels. Each piece of the mural is unique, and when all the panels are installed, they create a seamless, continuous design. Our Riverside Meadows Wall Mural, which Kristen used, features soft golden fields in a watercolor landscape, bringing a serene, nature-inspired vibe into her home. It’s like stepping into a peaceful meadow, without ever leaving your hallway! The Beauty of the Riverside Meadows Mural Let’s talk about why Kristen chose our Riverside Meadows Wall Mural for her hallway transformation. This isn’t just any wall covering – it’s a piece of art! With gentle, golden hues and a watercolor design that evokes a sense of calm and serenity, this mural is perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of nature to their space. The warm tones in the mural make it versatile, fitting seamlessly into a range of design styles, from modern to traditional. Here’s why the Riverside Meadows Wall Mural is a crowd favorite: Nature-inspired design: Soft golden fields create a serene, calming atmosphere. Customizable installation: Each mural panel is cut to fit your space perfectly, so it feels like it was made just for your home. Easy to install: Our murals are peel-and-stick, meaning no messy glue or water is required – just peel, stick, and enjoy! Removable and renter-friendly: If you ever want to change things up, our murals come down just as easily as they go up. Durable and long-lasting: Made with high-quality materials, our murals are designed to stay beautiful for years to come. Wainscoting + Mural: A Dynamic Duo Wainscoting is a design element that never goes out of style, and Kristen used it to perfection in her hallway makeover. By adding wainscoting and placing the mural panels within each section, she created a sophisticated and polished look that adds depth and dimension to the space. The combination of classic wainscoting and the Riverside Meadows mural gave the hallway a custom, high-end feel, while still keeping the DIY spirit alive. To really make the space her own, Kristen worked with our team to customize the mural to fit her hallway’s unique dimensions. We ensured each panel fit seamlessly within the wainscoting, creating a smooth and uninterrupted flow of the mural scene throughout the hallway. The result? A cohesive and stunning transformation that’s sure to inspire! How Kristen Installed the Mural (It’s Easier Than You Think!) One of the reasons Kristen loved working with our Riverside Meadows Wall Mural was how easy it was to install. Since each panel is peel-and-stick, there’s no need for messy adhesives or complicated tools. Kristen started by measuring the space inside each section of wainscoting and cutting the mural panels to fit perfectly. Once she had everything measured and ready to go, she simply peeled off the backing and applied the panels to the wall. With the help of a squeegee to smooth out any bubbles, the mural went up in no time. For her textured walls, we customized the mural to ensure a perfect fit, and Kristen couldn’t have been happier with the result. In just a few hours, her hallway went from bare and boring to full of character and charm, thanks to the combination of wainscoting and our Riverside Meadows mural.

Hope your following was just as inspired to think outside of the box!" We couldn’t agree more, Kristen!
