# Facial Feature Home Decorations Hanna Billqvist's Designs Give Facial Features to Houses By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-06-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facial-features-of-houses References: [museandmaker](http://www.museandmaker.com/blog/hanna-billqvist) & [hannabillqvist.se](http://www.hannabillqvist.se/ansiktet.html) These designs by Hanna Billqvist play up the facial features of houses. Depending on their placement, sometimes windows can look like the eyes of a house. The 'Ansiktet' collection, meaning "face" in Swedish, gives houses distinctive facial features like eyes and mouths. Billqvist has designed two window shutters; one with wide open eyes and another with long feminine eyelashes that makes houses look like they are sleeping. Another inventive part of this series is a semi-circular planter box that looks like a giant mouth, complete with big teeth. These cartoony additions lend instant personality to the [exterior of houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verdant-house) and are sure to elicit stares from your neighbors and passersby. The wide-eyed design would be especially hard to miss -- it is almost as if the house is watching you. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Facial Feature Home Decorations:** Adding facial features to homes through home decor items creates a fun and unique way to personalize exteriors. - **Cartoony Exterior Design:** Cartoony exterior designs create a playful and whimsical look for homes that is sure to stand out from traditional designs. - **Creative Use of Home Decor Items:** Using home decor items in creative and unexpected ways, such as turning windows into eyes, can add a unique touch to homes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can take advantage of this trend by creating and marketing new home decor items that can add facial features to homes. - **Architecture and Building:** Architecture and building industries can use this trend as an opportunity to incorporate fun and unique designs into their projects, creating a more personalized and playful look for homes. - **Landscaping and Gardening:** The landscaping and gardening industries can use this trend by incorporating creative planter box shapes that can lend to the facial features of a house, adding another layer of design to the home. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Warehouse-Transformed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-many-faces.md) - [Floral Wall-Defined Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-ptios-de-ptalas.md) - [Face Mask-Made Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anonymlux-lamp.md) - [Elegant Ivory Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ivory-vase.md) - [Openable Wooden Shutter Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-house-1.md) - [Window-Emulating Lighting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/window-chronicles.md) - [Geometrical Head-Shaped Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vondom-adan-collection.md) - [Creature-Inspired Home Good Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charles-jeffreys-loverboy.md) - [Math Equation-Inspired Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-countless-windows.md)
