Designer, Jonathan Adler, is known for playful pattern, colorful accessories and he has a new line of home products at JcPenney as well as Kohl’s.
Recently Jonathan Adler spoke with Pop Sugar on tips on how to decorate your home, making it a happy one.
Remember the Classics
Happiness starts with the essentials, and Jonathan believes that every room should be built around classic, chic pieces. According to Jonathan, “a great solid comfy sofa” is a must. “The classic foundation is the most important thing,” Jonathan said.
Be Bright
Of course, Jonathan advocates bringing lots of color into your space to elevate the mood. “A happy space is one that is full of color and very functional,” he said. “It’s got to work. Function first, and then a little pop of bright color never hurt.”
Bring that Hotel Feeling Home
It’s no secret many people feel their happiest on vacation, and Jonathan urges bringing that feeling home — especially to the bathroom. “I love to make my bathroom look like a hotel bathroom,” he said. “I think we all fantasize about having hotel-ish bathrooms at home.” Give your bathroom a luxe feeling by keeping stacks of plush towels on hand and outfitting your vanity with lavish products.
Make Everything a Statement Piece
Considering his love of pattern and color, it’s no surprise Jonathan embraces beautiful objects of any kind. “I think everything in your life, from a pillow to a towelette vanity case, should be as chic and memorable as it can be,” he said.
Place Your Television Prominently
Many living rooms are decorated around the television, and Jonathan’s is no different. To him, a television is essential to a happy home. “I’m always happiest in front of the TV — let’s be honest,” he confessed.
