Hot Shop: Funky Decor

Every young professional’s living space needs a little splash of outlandish design here and there. From colour-changing shower tiles to a mixtape coffee table, here are a few of our favourite home decor pieces that will be sure to turn some heads…

Colour-changing tiles
This home décor idea is most certainly unique to say the least. Like a mood ring, these iridescent tiles respond to heat or touch, changing to different hues of bright metallic-like colors. Imagine covering your shower walls with these funky tiles and enveloping yourself in a rainbow of dancing colours as the hot water splashes onto the walls each morning. Talk about starting your day off right.

Neon Wall Mounts and Classic Busts
We all need a touch of neon in our lives, but when it comes to this boisterous trend, a little goes a long way. So what better way to keep your neon décor classy than with these bright, vintage-inspired pieces? A fun juxtaposition of styles, these funky accessories can add a pop of colour to a more traditional space, or can class up a modern room with their traditional appeal.

Chalkboard Paint
We see this fun décor idea everywhere nowadays, but we still can’t get enough of it. The trick to incorporating chalkboard paint into your own home, in your own unique way, is to use it in practical, but unexpected places. Chalkboard paint can be used for the backsplash of your kitchen, which will allow you to write down recipes, grocery lists, or calorie counts of your daily meals. Or turn a basement or loft pillar into a message center for you and your spouse or roommates. Best of all, you can use chalkboard paint to have fun with graffiti or love notes in your own home washroom.

Mixtape coffee table
If you identify yourself as a “funky” YP, then this mixtape coffee table is a must-have for you. Perfect for the bachelor pad or man cave, for music buffs or creative couples, if you were born in the 70s or 80s, this piece will surely add a great conversation piece to your eclectic space.

Concrete
Concrete counter and bar tops have been all the rage for a few years now, but today we are now finding concrete being used for smaller home décor accessories. Using such a hardy medium for these delicate pieces certainly puts them under the category of funky. We especially love concrete coasters, indoor planters, spice bowls, and candle holders.
