I like rooms which are designed with a way of playfulness and light-heartedness, or after they have one thing quirky in them, even whether it is refined! A whimsical fashion could make a home really feel like a contented house! Whimsy provides character and persona, whereas eliminating pretentiousness, stuffiness or seriousness that’s generally part of the design world. I feel we generally lose our sense of childhood marvel after we get older, so whereas some would possibly lengthy for a extra severe or “grown up house” others need to retain a way of youthfulness and amusement and categorical that via their house.

Generally you possibly can instantly spot one thing fanciful in a room, however different occasions it may be a pleasant shock to uncover whimsical components which are integrated extra subtly right into a room.

Whimsical decor may not be everybody’s cup of tea, however I feel it’s enjoyable! We’ve integrated a way of caprice in a technique or one other to all of our properties over time, whether or not it was via splashes of blissful colours, patterns or equipment. Right this moment I needed to share a couple of examples from our previous few properties and speak about our adorning plans for our present house!

A few of our OG running a blog neighborhood would possibly bear in mind my DIY Map Wallpaper on this little corridor. It was a spur of the second thought, however I feel usually that’s how a few of the most charming whimsical designs come collectively. In the event you overthink an excessive amount of you would possibly hen out :).

I fell in love with these curtains years in the past and have stored them with me each transfer since. If this colourful sample isn’t whimsical, I don’t know what’s! I haven’t discovered the correct place for them in our new house, however relaxation assured they’ll seem someplace. In all probability in an upstairs bed room or hallway.

(I obtained these curtains HERE years in the past, they’ve a number of related here. I’ll share a couple of on the finish of this put up with different whimsical decor!).

One other enjoyable method so as to add whimsy to your decor is to convey a way of childlike enjoyable to your property. For instance, I am keen on animals. We all the time have charming animal collectible figurines, lamps, drawer pulls and artwork round our house. Whereas we don’t have children at house any extra, that doesn’t imply we’ve to have a very severe grownup fashion home. We nonetheless are children at coronary heart :). Nevertheless, we use restraint in how a lot whimsy we convey right into a room and select whimsical items which have a bit of sophistication — we wish it to enrich our total fashion.

The bunny door knocker on the entrance door of our final home was a unusual contact I added–it made our house really feel a lot like ME! (You’ll be able to see extra of this Dutch door on this put up)

I additionally love to inform a narrative with our decor. Since I am keen on animals, I get pleasure from picturing your entire scene the place animals would possibly dwell, corresponding to a meadow or enchanted backyard or any sort of fairytale setting. That visible picture in my thoughts or on a temper board makes it additional enjoyable to decide on extra equipment that assist create that scene.

I really feel like this whimsical artwork I obtained just lately is how I view life. 🙂

I additionally LOVE dwelling by the ocean. I’ve all the time loved bringing in coastal artwork and decor wherever we’ve lived. It fuels my creativeness as I image the setting of a quaint house on the shores of the ocean. Now we actually do dwell on the shores of the ocean, however I nonetheless love to make use of my creativeness for a way I need our house to really feel.

Scalloped patterns all the time really feel subtly whimsical to me. This scalloped rattan tray and blue and white scalloped trim pitcher (an vintage I discovered just lately) are enjoyable new touches of caprice in our house! The whale tail wooden spreaders (similar here) peeking out of the pitcher make me smile, too.

We’re simply ending up a rework of our present house so we haven’t embellished but, however I can’t wait to herald my whimsical adorning fashion. We deliberately selected conventional components as a timeless backdrop for the ever evolving seasons and issues we love. A number of the whimsical components is perhaps so refined that nobody else will discover or know the story of what they’re taking a look at, however the essential factor in adorning isn’t what different individuals suppose or see, it’s what your property FEELS prefer to you!

We will’t wait to begin adorning with equipment and materials! Actually, we already purchased our first “whimsical style-setting” fabric which options all the colours we’ll use! Shades of blues, greens, golds, whites and a gentle blush pink. Quickly I’ll have the ability to herald our different equipment and have enjoyable styling every season.
