What does a house wear to a party? Ad-dress! Wanna hear a roof joke? Come on, it's on the house. Whether these cheesy interior design jokes make you smile, cringe, or a little bit of both, it proves a point that there is a space for humor when it comes to interior design! In today's social media centric world, it's easy to get caught up in the latest trends, and tempting to copy and paste a stylish home interior, trying to replicate it within your own home. And while there is nothing wrong with getting inspiration from beautiful designs, we think the most successful spaces are full of personality and—perhaps a bit of humor as well.

There are many ways to incorporate some whimsy, charm and fun into your home interiors. Read on for fun and funky furnishing and decor ideas that are sure to make you and your guests smile and transform your home into a space that you love every moment in!

Tricks of the Shade

When personalizing your rooms with unique home decor, you should aim for items that make you happy. One way to do this is to incorporate colors that you love! Design themes that were once only a pigment of your imagination can now be at the center of your decor with some simple changes. You can easily integrate any colors into a room by starting small. Throw pillows are a great way to make a room pop with color and are easy to change out if you decide you don’t love them or want to switch things up. You can also incorporate fun prints and patterns through throw pillows, which is another great way to explore new styles.

Colors can also be woven into a room through utilizing an area rug. Area rugs come in countless colors and textures, so it would be a good idea to explore new rugs to find one that could highlight your space and bring new life to a room.

Feeling a little color-shy? Here are some ideas for pops of color that can brighten up your room and add some fun to your space.

• Sunny yellow shades such as banana yellow, buttercup and golden yellows are a little unexpected, surprisingly versatile and very effective in bringing some cheer into your room.
• PANTONE’s 2022 Color of the Year, Very Peri is a color based on a familiar periwinkle blue with the addition of a vivid violet-red undertone, making it an exciting and new color that embodies the best of both hues: constancy of blue and the excitement of red.
• Bubblegum or hot pink shades are another distinct color you can add to a room that will bring life and personality to a space and distinguish your room from other basic decor trends.

Intermixing bright and more subdued tones of a color is a good way to add fun shades into a room while also adding contrast with the darker tones. For example, layering bright and dark throw pillows on your couch or adding an area rug with multiple shades of a color.

Wall of Wonders

Adding unique wall art into your home is probably one of the most common and easiest updates you can make to a room. By implementing this change, there will be no need to wall-ow in a boring room anymore! Wall art adds a whole new vibe to a room and allows you to customize any space to give it a new feeling. If your room is starting to feel kind of boring, we’d encourage you to look at investing in a fun wall painting! There are so many options of wall art that bring both color and life into a room. Similar to tabletop decor, you can incorporate some of your favorite things into paintings you select and make any space feel like its personalized just for you. For instance, if you are a dog lover, look for a fun way to incorporate this through things like paw-some canvas paintings of dogs. Or if you are looking to add color to a room, look for an abstract painting highlighting unique shades. Wall art is a unique way to add humor into a room as well. There are plenty of funny paintings that can bring joy into a room and become a conversation piece among those who visit, like this painting of a fox with glasses and a bowtie!

Paw-sitively Hilarious Pet Essentials

When you are a pet owner, there are certain necessary furnishings around your house. But no one ever said that scratch post and food dishes had to be boring! You can update your pet accessories to either be cute or humorous. Did you know that there are UFO shaped litter boxes? Or hot dog shaped dog beds? Replace your ruff-looking pet furnishings with whimsical and fun upgrades to find humor in your everyday life and receive endless compliments from guests!

Quirky and Eccentric Elements

A great way to add character to your home is by finding unique tabletop pieces. These little accents allow people to get a glimpse of who you are and what makes you happy. For instance, if you love penguins, why not incorporate that into your decor with a penguin couple sculpture? Or if you have always been a Vikings fan, have you considered getting a tabletop Viking gnome? Beyond these examples, if you enjoy something, you should try to incorporate it in your home, as it will not only bring you joy, but add character into any space.

When choosing unique tabletop pieces, eye-catching wall art and incorporating pops of fun and bright colors, it’s important to remember that sometimes less really is more. Stick with a few of your favorite pieces that can act as focal points in your space; and don’t be afraid to play around with your design and switch things out over time.
