Joyful Living: Why Playful Interiors Are Back in a Big Way
)
This spring, the Ideal Home proved that interiors are taking a vibrant turn. Forget rigid minimalism — playful, joyful design is setting the tone for 2025!
The Speakeasy, styled by the talented Style Makers, set the mood with its glamorous take on 1920s decadence. Rich velvets, deep emeralds and hidden cocktail bars brought a playful edge to the moody glamour. Every corner winked with character — proof that sophistication and fun can coexist beautifully.
Meanwhile, La Redoute Intérieurs celebrated colour confidence with Dream in Colour. Here, bold tones, layered textures and sculptural shapes created a lively, expressive living space. Statement sofas and joyful accessories made it impossible not to smile.
For those craving high drama, Some Like It Hot — sponsored by Essex Bathrooms and Kitchens — delivered a bold hit of energy. Vibrant pinks, oranges and glossy surfaces created a space full of personality, encouraging fearless, feel-good decorating.
Together, these rooms captured a growing movement: design that doesn’t take itself too seriously. From secret bars to colour-drenched walls, this season is all about homes that spark joy.
