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 delicate! A whimsical type could make a home really feel like a contented house! Whimsy provides character and character, whereas eliminating pretentiousness, stuffiness or seriousness that’s typically part of the design world. I believe we typically lose our sense of childhood surprise after we get older, so whereas some may lengthy for a extra severe or “grown up house” others need to retain a way of youthfulness and amusement and specific that via their house.

Generally you may 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 won’t be everybody’s cup of tea, however I believe it’s enjoyable! We’ve integrated a way of caprice in a method or one other to all of our properties over time, whether or not it was via splashes of completely happy colours, patterns or equipment. At present I needed to share a couple of examples from our previous few properties and discuss our adorning plans for our present house!

A few of our OG running a blog group may keep in mind my DIY Map Wallpaper on this little corridor. It was a spur of the second thought, however I believe usually that’s how a number of the most charming whimsical designs come collectively. In the event you overthink an excessive amount of you may rooster 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 suitable place for them in our new house, however relaxation assured they’ll seem someplace. Most likely in an upstairs bed room or hallway.

One other enjoyable manner so as to add whimsy to your decor is to carry a way of childlike enjoyable to your house. For instance, I like animals. We at all times 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 have now to have an excessively severe grownup type home. We nonetheless are children at coronary heart :). Nonetheless, we use restraint in how a lot whimsy we carry right into a room and select whimsical items which have a bit of sophistication — we would like it to enhance our total type.

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 possibly can see extra of this Dutch door on this put up)

I additionally love to inform a narrative with our decor.

I additionally LOVE dwelling by the ocean. I’ve at all times 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 the way I would like our house to really feel.

Scalloped patterns at all times really feel subtly whimsical to me. This scalloped rattan tray and blue and white scalloped trim pitcher (an vintage I discovered 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 transform of our present house so we haven’t embellished but, however I can’t wait to usher in my whimsical adorning type. We deliberately selected conventional components as a timeless backdrop for the ever evolving seasons and issues we love. A few of the whimsical components is likely to be so delicate that nobody else will discover or know the story of what they’re taking a look at, however the vital factor in adorning isn’t what different individuals suppose or see, it’s what your house FEELS prefer to you!

We will’t wait to start out adorning with equipment and materials! In actual fact, 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 tender blush pink. Quickly I’ll be capable to usher in our different equipment and have enjoyable styling every season.
