Is your home weird enough? Interior designers reveal why you need a little weird for a beautiful home – and how to get the balance right

The word ‘weird’ tends to have negative connotations. But to me, it’s just another way of saying quirky, different and the opposite of boring or ordinary. So your home should have a certain level of ‘weirdness’ to it in order to have character – and that’s not just me saying it, interior designers agree. So is your home weird enough?
