Because optimism and general good spirits have been in short supply in the world, designers have decided that colorful, whimsical and affordable are ways to improve our dispositions and make our homes happier! there were lots of little ways to do this on display at the design conference.
Garlands, for example ... were to be found everywhere and in many forms ...
to be hung in a doorway or over a window, or in a kid's room near a closet, around a bed or crib ...
or as added accoutrements for a lamp or chandelier
Another playful feature were fun déco objects just for the sake of conversation ... like these huge fruits
or other whimsical objects ...
There was fun furniture to dream about ... but these will be dreams that make you smile!
tee hee!!!
designers from ALL over were getting in the spirit of things .... even playful Germans!
this reminded me of one of those alien bar scenes from a Star Wars movie!!this aspect of the show was definitely a bit of fantasy ... but I also found it inspiring to see how designers, small and large, were opening up their hearts and humor a bit and acknowledging the role that color and laughter can play in making a house a home.
Believe it or not, I still have quite a bit to share from this designers dream date ... next up, the lovely world of lighting!
jusqu'a la prochaine fois!! beeeee-zooooooo!
