Happy Space
When it comes to happy spaces, this one must be at the top of the list. It’s quite formal, yet vibrant and exciting with a great mix of sunny yellow and appealing deep pink. The twin spiral staircases and gallery-like walls provide a stunning backdrop for the room.

A lively art installation of blown glass discs adds rhythm and movement to this musical corner. What a wonderful environment for exploring music—piano lessons will be a joy here.

Turquoise with pinks and purples is a color palette that always seems to come down on the happy side. This pretty eclectic living room mixes modern pieces and classic elements with lots of gold for good measure. Folding screens like this glam mirrored one can add lots of visual interest to help create your own happy space.

No post on the possibilities of happy spaces would be complete without at least one room from Mr. Happy Chic himself. Jonathan Adler designed this serene but lively sitting room. The circular rug gives the space great movement.

What makes for a happy family more than a beautiful and safe environment in which to live? This play space includes a child-friendly fireplace with a temporary insert—a magnetic chalkboard that is both good-looking and safe.

This just may one of the best bedroom designs ever. It’s the ultimate master retreat—slightly glamorous but so inviting at the end of a long day. The artwork is wonderful, as are the curvy chairs and brilliant modern pendant light.

This last space is a happy room because it has a wonderful totally organized open closet. Few things make a home happier than beautifully organized rooms. A vibrant golden yellow accent wall can be stunning in an all-white bedroom. Images 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 What do you think of these happy spaces?
