Take a peek inside my closet, and you’ll find that there’s a strong parallel to the furnishings scattered around my home—or at least, the ones that I’ve picked out. They’re unexpected, slightly bizarre and definitely not for the faint of heart. After all, modern home décor is really just an extension of our fashion sense, and when it comes to mine, there’s no shortage of cheetah prints, edgy accents and bold pops of color to be had.
Maybe it’s because it’s cold and dreary in Chicago and I’m cooped up inside, or maybe it’s because we’re slooooowly but surely fixing our place up for a future move, but design has become my style muse in recent weeks, taking shape in the form of velvety chairs, graphic coasters and chic tea sets imprinted with (what else?) skulls. And considering that I once used a cardboard banana box as a makeshift desk for half a year, well, let’s just say we’ve come a long way.
Sure, it’s all a bit more…eclectic than I’ve actually been able to get away with just yet (my boyfriend hasn’t fully come around to my decorating style…nor has my budget), but, hey, there’s no better time to be aspirational than a new year, right? As such, I give you 14 of the most gloriously weird, audacious and eye-popping pieces I’ve managed to hunt down online—and trust me, I dove deep.
What modern home décor pieces are you coveting for 2022? Let me know in the comments below.
