Accessories that Say Funky Can Be Fun

As the old adage goes, “Simplicity is beauty,” one cannot simply surmise that being simple could also mean boredom.

When it comes to visual image, the human eye would rather see things differently than what the mind has established. This means that to create a contrasting look on the outside world, deviate from the ordinary and enhance the plain and simple to a “funkier” outlook.

Basically, to be funky is to be chic, trendy, and up to date in an exceptional mode: you try to make something unique and fashionable out of an ordinary concept. When you are able to enhance the look of a typical fashion and create a contemporary interpretation, you have created a funky look.

One of the best things about being funky is that there are no tenets to follow, your creativity and fashion-sense is unbounded and infinite. This shows that you can do whatever you want to do with your style as long as you are able to express your true personality.

Achieving a funky look is as easy as 1-2-3. All you have to keep in mind is to use different brilliant and vivid colors, various patterns, and cool accessories to create an appearance that is 100% unique and creative.

On Home Decorations

1. Stylish seating

Most stools, especially plastic stools are sturdy and useful but they look absolutely plain and most people leave them in the background. The best way to transform them into fantastic pieces that you can admire, incorporate trendy designs that give a funky look.

Try painting your stool with bright colors like pink or yellow and decorate it with artistic designs. Or you can cover them with seat covers for a more comfortable look. To do this, measure and cut a piece of foam to fit the seat and then cover the foam with a piece of fabric large enough to tie the ends together below the seat.

2. Shock of color

Whatever you want to express with your personality; whether you want to go bohemian or western, the rule of the thumb is to use colors that will put more detail into your home.

For instance, you could paint the wall in your living room or sitting area bright red and adorn it with an artistic window frame of brass and wood.

If you have a super plain sofa, perhaps gray or tan, give it a funkier look by using pink and orange throw pillows. Adding some palm fronds brings a whiff of nature into a cozy area.

3. Turn plain pillow covers into little works of art

For a good night’s sleep, use pillows that cradle the head and please the eyes too. After all, they are the last things you see before you drift away to dreamland.

You can start by creating designs with color stitches on the fabric. You can do this by using two threads in different, complementary colors to make a running stitch following any pattern that you like.

On Looks

Ready for a change?

Here is a list of things you can use to color your career look and get pumped about going to work.

1. Shades of 8 to 5 jobs

Aim for the skies when dressing in the morning! Mix up those prints for fun, but keep them in soothing blues and browns that blend together. This will create an impression that will bring out the uniqueness in you.

2. Toot your own horn

Trade your serious stripes for candy stripes, then top it off with your favorite white polo and belted jacket for a winning funky office look.

3. Pick power colors

Wake up basic black pants with a comfortable red pullover and pinstriped jacket. For a strong fashion statement, finish the look with red step-in shoes, but keep them comfortable with “kitten” heels.

4. Go beyond black

Listen to your inner fashion voice and break the monotony of black with a simple-but-stylish yellow tee and bold white belt.

Keep in mind that the main idea of being funky is to create a fashion statement by transforming the plain and simple into an innovative look.

The bottom line is that creating a funky look, whether at home or through your appearance can be really fun. It gives you a sense of freedom from the limitations set by the norm of society. Deviating from the conventional is a good way of revealing the real you.

Make your own decisions and buck the stereotype! Being funky can be fun!
