A woman decided to go against the norm and decorate her home with bright colors and unique shapes, ones you hardly find in any of the modern interior design trends
In the past few years, mostly due to sharing her home’s unique redecoration process, she has built up a massive audience, with nearly 500,000 followers onInstagramand over 2.4 million onTikTok. Her videos regularly reach millions of views, with the most popular one having been watched more than 8.6 million times.
The house looked straight out of some magical children’s tale, with colorful dinosaur heads sticking out the walls and fruit-shaped stools
Sharing her process online, the woman quickly went viral, with more than 2.4 million people following every step of her journey
Kaarin’s home sure seems joyous. But if so many people like this, why is the majority of our world still choosing to go with a neutral color palette and leaving all the joy that the other colors bring behind? Perhaps we’re just imagining it, and it has always been this way?
The joy wasn’t limited to the ground and the floor either, as you could also find cake lamps and spoon chandeliers hanging from the ceiling
Looking for an explanation for this occurrence,Lennart Dobravsky of OneCharttalked to Cath Sleeman, the author of the aforementioned study, who gave a few reasons why this may be happening.
Some explanations might be rather simple. The trends have turned toward neutral colors, possibly because of a significant decline in wood, leather, and plenty of other previously widely used natural materials.
But even with all these unique decorations, nothing in the house radiated as much joy as the designer herself
But perhaps the best way to deal with the problems that lead us to hide behind neutral colors is to face them head-on instead? Of course, every person is different, and everyone should be able to choose things for themselves, but humans are inherently tempted to follow the flock, as, instinctively, doing so means survival. And sometimes, we forget to stop and think about why exactly we are doing what we’re doing.
So, with all this in mind, maybe the answer to beating some of that stress and anxiety is letting in some more joy into your life. Whether you want your house to have dinos coming out of the walls and spoon chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, as Kaarin does, is up to you. However, adding at least a little more color to this rather colorless world might just make everything better, so why not try it?
