This intricately playful home is full of fun designs and colors. The home was originally an old Print Shop. Upon purchase, the owners wanted to keep some of the original space, so they added fun objects like [giant nets and hammocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eternal-child) to fill in some of the areas. The areas that stand out the most are, the [tube-like staircase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/play-pavilion), net lounge area, the slide-like seating area and open loft lounge. The house is full of [bright and cheery colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wired-scape), including, green, pink, orange and yellow. Any grown-up who stays in touch with their child-like side should definitely check this design out. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Playful Architecture:** The 'Fun House' demonstrates the trend of incorporating playful elements into architectural designs. - **Colorful Interiors:** The use of bright and cheery colors in the 'Fun House' showcases the trend of incorporating vibrant interiors in spaces. - **Creative Remodeling:** The transformation of an old Print Shop into the 'Fun House' highlights the trend of creatively remodeling existing spaces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** The architectural industry can capitalize on the trend of incorporating playful elements in designs to create unique and engaging spaces. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can leverage the trend of using vibrant colors to create lively and energetic environments. - **Real Estate:** The real estate industry can explore the trend of creatively remodeling existing properties to offer innovative and attractive living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful-Focused Polish Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/znamy-si.md) - [Whimsical Futuristic Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoohome.md) - [Charming Traditional Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-maison-du-bonheur.md) - [Playful Apartment Makeovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onda-apartment.md) - [Luxuriously Artistic Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/child-studio1.md) - [Nature-Inspired Indoor Playgrounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sarit-shani-hay.md) - [Tent‑Filled Daycare Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deya-day-care.md) - [Goan Heritage Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toybox-1.md) - [Abstract Fantasy Home Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstract-fantasy-home.md)
