Best Place to Get Out of Your Decorating Comfort Zone - Jonathan Adler - 2013 Best of MN

The Uptown home decor store's color-crazy modern merch should cure the neutral blahs. Room vignettes show ways to energize your interiors with vibrant Skittles-hued furnishings, lamps, bedding, rugs and scores of accessories. Jonathan Adler infuses his "happy chic colors" in everything from "pouf" leather ottomans to dinnerware to sleek torchiere table lamps that give off a sunset-like glow. His clever candy-striped "Vice" canisters labeled "Prozac" and "Uppers" should elicit a double-take in your kitchen. For the daring, Adler also offers coral-colored sofas and canary yellow chairs. But the home decor items flying out the door are the safer Greek key-patterned alpaca throws and fruity bathroom accents that add zippy color to beige backdrops. 1439 W.
