When the world is a bit scary and the amount of inspiration online becomes overwhelming…Fuck it.
Go for what you love. Seek out Happiness. Create interiors that bring you joy.
Play. Because why the fuck not.

The new trend that might just save your life…
'Fuck it' Design

Fuck it design is about colour clash, playfulness, juxtaposition. It is not about rules or fitting in. It is about expressing your inner diva or superhero or nerd for the sheer fun of it. This doesn’t fit into a maximalism or minimalism mould…or any mould for that matter (unless it is a mould filled with multicoloured recycled plastic…).
So what are the ‘fuck it’ colours? What are the key materials? Who’s into it?
Well, Disco Gufram is a great place to start (above and below), their vibe is all about luxe fun.
