The word "joy" is having a moment—from organizational expert Marie Kondo's mantra that everything in your life should spark joy, to Oprah Winfrey's inspiring approach to a happy, joyful life at home and work. At Calico, we believe in the transformative power of design to elevate your life and add joy. When you walk into a room at home, does it make you smile? Or as designer Vern Yip would ask, does it give you a hug?
Your home has a great effect on your quality of life. Has your home evolved as you and your family have changed? Is your living room designed for living? If you have school-age children and a formal dining room, could it be repurposed as a playroom or homework center? Are you living with faded fabrics and dated décor? Time for a change! Here we've collected 10 ideas to share the joy of decorating. Of course, Calico designers are at the ready to help create beautiful rooms and homes that reflect you and your style today.
