Many of us would love to open the door to bold print patterns but hesitate to incorporate daring designs in our home décor. We worry about the daunting, costly process of changing these elements once there’s a shift in our lifestyle, preferences, or surrounding trends. Studies find that 75% of American homeowners feel that their design choices have aged poorly, and 69% are embarrassed to invite people over for this reason. The thought of committing to a bold choice can deter people, making them choose more neutral design options that feel safer and everlasting but fail to spark joy in the same way.
But what if we told you that incorporating bold prints into your home doesn’t have to be a leap of faith? In this article, we’ll explore creative and commitment-free ways to welcome bold prints into your space, ensuring your home reflects your personality without worrying about long-term commitment.
According to 46% of homeowners, the most impactful yet simple interior design change is painting walls. But, again, it takes a lot of work or a hefty budget to undo what was done. Enter wall stickers: the commitment-phobe’s dream. These adhesive designs come in every shape and color you can dream of to offer the perfect blend of flexibility and fun. Wall stickers allow you to experiment with bold prints without worrying too much about the end result.
The walls can evolve as your children grow, with bunnies in the nursery, robots during elementary school, and their favorite comic characters later. Wall stickers are not only cost-effective but also super easy to install and replace, with special stickers that can also be used for your kitchen and bathroom tiles.
Another easy change you can embrace with confidence is bringing modular furniture home. 87% of homeowners redecorate their homes within a year of moving in, making modular elements a practical, future-ready buy. The ongoing collaboration between Kornit and furniture design brand Cozmo is an excellent example of the innovative spirit of modern furniture design. Cozmo’s modular sofa, available online, demonstrates the clever versatility that today’s homeowners seek.
The sofa features reversible cushions with bold prints on one side and neutral designs on the other. It allows you to instantly switch up your living room’s look based on how you feel that day or the type of company you plan to have over. You can opt for neutral tones on one side and a more kid-friendly print on the other.
Cozmo and Kornit recently launched a new print collection in collaboration with the brilliant designers Yael Alkalay and Shay Mer of Raw-Edges Studio. The collection, titled “Home Sweet Home,” highlights the soft and sweet spirit of countryside living. Embroidered cushions, nostalgic views, and optimistic messages will make you feel right at home.
More than half of young consumers state that they want their homes to look good for social media, but creating the perfect Instagram-worthy space takes time, energy, and money. Since younger audiences don’t always have the budget to purchase new items whenever their tastes and needs shift, starting with home textiles is wise.
Changing patterned curtains, adding colorful throw pillows, and shopping for vibrant bedding are effortless and economical ways to introduce bold prints into your decor. This method allows you to experiment with different patterns and colors without the commitment or cost associated with larger pieces. Textiles offer a simple yet effective way to refresh your space. That’s one reason Kornit’s technology can and should be used for home décor fabrics.
The desire to personalize our living spaces is natural, and we can’t let the fear of making the wrong move hold us back. Thankfully, advancements in textile printing and modular design create so many exciting possibilities, allowing us to experiment with bold prints in a way that’s both reversible and affordable. These innovative solutions provide the safety net we need to let our creative and whimsical nature show and make our homes truly our own.
