After decades in the design industry, I’ve witnessed a tidal shift in interior aesthetics, from the vibrant, eclectic styles of earlier eras to the dominance of greyscale and muted tones that have blanketed our homes for the last few decades. This minimalist approach, with its serene palettes, has had its moment, offering a sense of calm and order amidst the chaos of modern life.
However, it’s hard not to feel a bit wistful for the exuberance of color that once was. Now, as we see a resurgence of bold, vibrant hues in interior design, it feels like coming home to an old friend. In this post, we’ll explore how these lively colors are reinvigorating our living spaces, bringing joy, energy, and a personal touch back into our homes.
Kaarin Staalsen, better known as Kaarin Joy, has taken the internet by storm by daring to decorate her home with vibrant colors and unique shapes, diverging from today’s typical muted interior design trends. An artist, interior decorator, and nurse, Kaarin’s eclectic career blend has translated beautifully into her home decor, captivating nearly 500,000 Instagram followers and over 2.4 million on TikTok.
Her decoration journey has amassed millions of views, with her most popular video hitting over 8.6 million watches. The public’s enthusiastic response to her “magic school bus vibe” shows a clear preference for her colorful approach over the prevalent greys and beiges.
Recently, one woman has gone viral for her choice of vibrant colors in the interior design of her home.
