Trash the rules. This is the primary rule if you are going to use funky home accessories and shelving for your interior design. Things which could have been used for your walls can actually be placed in the floors already. Your bathroom can also be transformed into highly virtual galleries of various arts. Functional items like a colander can already be used aside from their original purpose. Even the coffins can also be made into beds while the hand soap can be shaped like the hands of a child.
There have many designers who became famous because of their fabulous patchwork creations and shelving pieces. One of them is Lisa Whatmough, British designer who makes use of the really ancient patchwork quilting, she then transforms it as an additional feature for upholstering. The kinds of furniture she created are functional as well as brilliant, whimsical and colorful. She is even regarded as funk’s British queen especially when the concerns are the unusual but dazzling furniture and shelving creations she made.
Thinking eclectic is also a must if you want to be really funky. There are books that deal with funk decorations and how you can actually start with it. What you really need here is to mix and then match materials, unusual, textures, colors, items and accessories. If you are able to do it skillfully, you can definitely come up with a really breathtaking hodgepodge. Keep in mind that a real funky interior is unexpected, whimsical and in general, very colorful. This is the right time to be extra creative. Use the ordinary materials in something unusual. For instance, your wind chimes can already be made from silverware, or the quilt can already be a decoration for the walls.
Also, the collections that you have amassed through the years can now be freely displayed. All you have to do is to find a perfect place where you can showcase their beauty and uniqueness.
