For this column, I wanted to highlight a new trend that I‘ve noticed, especially with interiors curated for young families. One blogger refers to this design as “joyful and playful,” which sums it up perfectly. The fad combines modern and traditional elements, subdued and bold colors, new and recycled pieces, and everything in between. The result is a home that feels uniquely eclectic and vibrant—the opposite of stuffy or dull. These images don’t need captions to depict the trend. Enjoy, and employ where you can!
