There has been chatter in the world of interiors lately about making our homes more fun. Stylish, always, but with the perfect pinch of silliness that makes a space feel characterful and unique. Have you recently seen a hairy chair or a fish-shaped centerpiece you suddenly can't live without? Dubbed 'silly-maxxing,' this up-and-coming design approach quenches the collective thirst for a more whimsical space.
"Interiors have gotten so polished that sometimes they forget to be interesting," says interior designer and founder of House of Honey, Tamara Honey. Playfulness creates excitement and emotional connection. So, what started as incorporating an unexpected material or pop of color has now blossomed into a nuanced interior design trend that proves a truly stylish space isn't afraid to get a little weird. "We want interiors that feel considered, of course, but also a little self-aware... Rooms that don't take themselves too seriously," Tamara adds.
