    House of Joy published by gestalten is a book about playful homes and cheerful living.
    This midcentury refurb by Bells + Whistles is a colorful project featured in House of Joy by gestalten.
    Today we’re increasingly seeing an intertwining of different aesthetics that feel fresh, colorful, and full of play. There are many names for it: high camp, maximalism, Memphis revival. Find out more about this new trend in House of Joy by gestalten.
    Rolf's Apartment and its pink walls are featured on House of Joy, a book about playful interior design by gestalten.
    There are few designers who have created a body of work that is so them it’s unmistakable. London-based Camille Walala is among them. Be it a bouncy castle outside a London office building, a cushion, or this boutique hotel in Mauritius, her work is unified by its use of punchy colors, its graphic quality, and its vibrant patterns. That’s exactly what enamored the client at the Salt of Palmar boutique hotel. Find more about it in House of Joy by gestalten.
    The first and most drastic step in the total overhaul of the top two floors of this five-level terrace house in northern Beijing was to open up the space. The existing staircase was demolished, partition walls removed, and, where possible, structural walls were perforated to create continuous lines of sight. With all that natural light flowing through the now-open space, the architects went a step further with a splash of yellow throughout. Discover House P by MDDM Studio in House of Joy by gestalten.
    At 120 years old, Cummings Estate is among the oldest residences in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. But despite its age, not every aspect of it was worth saving. The style is, according to the architect, “quasi-craftsman,” with Spanish influences and elements from other styles.
    For home-design brand Pieces, by Brooklyn-based creative agency An Aesthetic Pursuit, color is nothing to be afraid of. That stance is made abundantly clear in their showroom-meets-guest-house in Maine. Their mission: to help people understand that with the right balance, there’s no such thing as too much color. In the living room, neutral wall and floor colors don’t compete with the custom, 10-color rug that flows through the space like a Technicolor cartoon river.
    House of Joy explores the best and brightest in playful interior design.
    There is no one single theme in this Californian dream home, but rather, the merging of several. Consider the living room, where, according to the designers, “surreal silhouettes and abstracting colors balance playful tendencies with a dreamlike sensibility.” Or the second bedroom, “a Dalí-esque space-age dream.” Filling a home with a multitude of imaginative themes is not easy to pull off, but even less so when it’s not a blank canvas. The Marrow Midcentury home was designed by Donald Wexler.
    Until they found this home from 1957, the residents were planning to build a custom house from scratch. The dining chairs seen above are from ModShop, and the fringed lighting is from Manfredi Style. The disco ball hanging over the cactus garden was installed at the request of the residents’ daughter. Learn more about the history of Marrow Midcentury by Bells + Whistles in House of Joy.
    This home takes Murphy’s Law and flips it on its head: anything that can be joyful, will be joyful. That’s especially true for the winding staircase, which was painted with bright patterns by artist Adrian Kay Wong. In the kitchen, an uplifting artwork by Brett Murray sets a positive mantra, while playful words also illuminate the tropical powder room.
    Originally, Camille Walala’s involvement with Salt of Palmar hotel was limited to a mural at its sister hotel, but when the CEO saw the finished work, he saw the potential for more. And so, Walala received her first hotel project, with a brief to reflect the distinct identity of the island, where color plays a key role in the local culture. The hotel’s palette draws inspiration from the country’s architecture and natural surroundings, and incorporates the work of local artists.
    The palette is warm and full, unafraid of extravagance, and the vibrancy and eclecticism of 1990s decor is echoed in recent movements, injecting rainbow hues into urban greige. As a perfect antidote to spaces void of colour or pattern, House of Joy is a book for those who aspire to have homes, bursting with life.

    House of Joy

    Playful Homes and Cheerful Living

    Bright homes with a splash: discover colorful interiors that will make you smile and feel alive.

    $60.00 Price incl. VAT

    House of Joy explores the best and brightest in playful interior design. Colors jump from furniture to kaleidoscopic walls. Lines become sinuous and bold. The palette is warm and full, and unafraid of extravagance. The spaces in this book showcase a range of historic influences, imaginatively updated to the present.

    A squiggly line connects bold post-war color schemes to the exuberant work of Ettore Sottsass and the Memphis Group. The vibrancy and eclecticism of 1990s decor is echoed in recent movements injecting rainbow hues into urban greige.

    Get inspired by the designers who’ve had enough of the drab and somber. House of Joy is the perfect antidote for those who are starved of color and patterns, and who want their rooms to be bursting with life.
