Is your home feeling a bit drab? Fear not. IKEA’s home furnishing direction leader, Abbey Stark, has the key to infuse your space with ‘Modern Playfulness’—a theme that’s both bold and joyful.

Think of it as letting loose while keeping things chic. Stark explains that Modern Playfulness “is all about restraint while expressing yourself through color and pattern.” It’s not about creating a chaotic explosion in your living room, but rather using pops of color and playful patterns to add personality to your haven.

Here are some tips to get you started:

Dream in Color

Banish boring bedrooms with a vibrant bedding update. Layer textiles in different tones and patterns—think stripes, florals, or geometric shapes—to create a visually interesting haven.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns in your furniture and accessories! Geometric shapes play particularly well together, so have fun experimenting and finding combinations that speak to you.
