5 Playful Pieces for the Home

Embrace a little fun this spring with these pretty, playful accessories and furniture picks.

Cut a Rug

Moooi’s latest collection of carpets features designs from some equally quirky designer friends, like this Scribble area rug ($34,153) by Swedish design firm Front, which brings a colouring-book whimsy to the living room floor. Livingspace, Vancouver, livingspace.com; Robert Sweep Homefurnishings, Calgary, robertsweep.com; Dwell Modern, Edmonton, dwellmodern.ca

The Switch-Up

Mix and match the pieces of Gus Modern’s Mix Modular collection (from $4,165), then customize your fabric options, too. It’s almost like having a new sofa daily. Chester Fields, Victoria, chester-fields.com; Stylegarage, Vancouver, stylegarage.com; 4Living, Calgary, 4living.ca

Softly Lit

The LED Pablo Lana lamp (from $319) is surrounded by a wool felt shade and designed with a magnetic module that allows for ample experimentation: hang it on the wall or stand it on a pedestal base. Tech meets craft. Designhouse, Vancouver, designhouse.ca; Lightform, Calgary and Edmonton, lightform.ca

Royal Seat

Roche Bobois’s Ava Bridge chair ($575) may look modern, but it’s got some historic roots: the shape of the stackable polyamide piece is inspired by the Ming dynasty Kau Yi Ming chair. Roche Bobois, Vancouver and Calgary, roche-bobois.com (Pssst: You can win this chair as part of this exclusive contest.)

Pillow Fight

This punchy cushion ($75), part of designer Samantha Pynn’s collection of mix-and-match textile pieces for Simons, instantly infuses any space with tropical cool. Simons, Vancouver and Edmonton, simons.ca
