Modern playfulness – refresh with brighter colors and bolder patterns
As summer slips into early autumn, these modern eclectic interior design ideas will make it easier for you and your home to evolve smoothly along with the seasonal shift. Modern playfulness strikes an exciting balance between staying comfy and cozy and stepping outside of your comfort zone to explore bolder colors, patterns and design possibilities.
Dare to express yourself
Embracing the change of the seasons can be a rejuvenating experience and can provide a fresh opportunity to be expressive in your space. It demands new styles and solutions, from seeking more seasonal colors or modern eclectic décor to optimizing your storage for new routines. How will you express yourself at home this season?
This look is all about restraint while expressing yourself through color and pattern. It’s an innovative way to blend vintage pieces with fresh colors and accessories, putting a fresh spin on midcentury style."

Modern playfulness designer tips
Wellness while you work
The MITTZON system emphasizes ergonomic and biophilic design so you can prioritize comfort, wellness and productivity in your home office. This next-gen office furniture is designed to help you thrive in the evolving workspace.
Play a little every day
Create a special play area where your kids can explore, dream and create – and where you can join them. Something as simple as a chalkboard wall or indoor slide can open new possibilities for play – and pops of color can quickly spark joy in any room.
Color up, color down, color all around
Show your walls love but be sure to spread the color around. Painting your floor with a bold, unexpected color will instantly change the entire look of your space – and make all your dance parties shine brighter.
Mix and match patterns
The more expressive, bold patterns you introduce with rugs, throw pillows and bedding, the merrier! Geometric shapes and patterns work best, such as designs featuring lines, circles, ellipses, triangles and polygons in eye-catching combos.
Dream in color
Express yourself with colorful bedding and bold patterns in the bedroom. Layering textiles in different tones and designs can create a curated, vibrant vibe and it’s an easy way to refresh your space for a new season of great sleep.
