At Urbanwalls, we’re beyond excited to collaborate with Kristen Forgione, the creative force behind THELIFESTYLEDCO. Known for her signature Organic Desert Living™ aesthetic, Kristen has built a brand that seamlessly blends modern elegance with the natural world. From new builds and renovations to thoughtfully curated interiors, this partnership is all about pushing design boundaries while staying true to effortless, livable beauty.
From Blog to Brand Empire
Since launching THELIFESTYLEDCO as a blog in 2012, Kristen has taken her passion for design and turned it into a powerhouse full-service interior design firm. But she didn’t stop there—she’s expanded into retail, digital education, and beyond, bringing her signature style to homes and wardrobes alike. With two stunning retail locations and an online boutique, her brand offers a curated selection of fashion, furniture, and home decor that embodies her signature refined yet relaxed vibe.
Compassionate, Stylish, Driven
Kristen’s approach to design and business is guided by three core values:
Compassionate – She genuinely cares about the people she works with, from clients to collaborators.
Stylish – Her eye for detail and ability to balance modern with organic is unmatched.
Driven – Her work ethic and ambition are what have made THELIFESTYLEDCO what it is today.
These values fuel every project, ensuring each space she touches feels thoughtfully curated and completely unique.
A Design Style That’s Effortlessly Refined
Kristen’s design philosophy? Refined, yet livable. Her work is all about warm neutrals, layered textures, and earthy elements—a look that’s both high-end and welcoming. Whether she’s designing a home, styling a retail space, or collaborating on custom wall decor, she brings a timeless, organic touch that makes everything feel elevated yet comfortable.
Inspiration from Everywhere
Creativity is everywhere for Kristen. Whether she’s traveling, keeping up with fashion trends, or drawing influence from the Arizona desert, she’s always looking for fresh ways to push the boundaries of design. The result? Spaces that feel effortlessly stylish, uniquely personal, and always on-trend.
Investing in Style
Kristen believes in investing in pieces that tell a story and stand the test of time. While her fashion indulgences include chic shoes and handbags, her home must-haves are all about unique lighting and vintage finds that bring depth and character to a space.
A Love for Bold Design Choices
Kristen isn’t afraid to take risks. She often dreams about painting her walls in daring hues like chartreuse or vibrant red, proving that bold choices can add unexpected beauty to a space.
From Passion to Profession
Design has always been part of Kristen’s DNA. Even as a kid, she convinced her parents to repaint her room multiple times—an early sign of the creative vision that would one day define THELIFESTYLEDCO. Her journey from experimenting with styles to running a thriving design business is a testament to her hard work, passion, and fearless creativity.
Building a Community Through Design
One of the most rewarding aspects of Kristen’s work? The connections she makes along the way. Whether it’s working with clients, collaborating with brands, or inspiring her online community, she finds so much joy in sharing the journey. Every time someone sends a message saying how much they love their new space, it reinforces the impact of her work.
Grateful for the Journey
With over a decade in the industry, Kristen has built a brand that reflects her heart, soul, and creative vision. She’s faced challenges, embraced growth, and come out on the other side stronger than ever. The future is unpredictable, but one thing’s for sure—she’s enjoying every step of the ride.
