This Colorful Munich Apartment Is Equal Parts Funky & Glam

Our homes are a reflection of ourselves—so why should they stay stagnant? Karoline Herr (@frollein_herr)'s Munich, Germany, apartment is an ever-evolving kaleidoscope of color, shape, and proportion. The editor and stylist changes up her décor constantly, joking that her living room could turn into a bedroom by the time fall wraps up. But no matter where her bed may migrate, a few things about her space stay the same: It's joyful, lighthearted, and a whole lot of fun.

I don't have a specific design era or strict concept I follow when designing my home. I love to try things out, make mistakes, try again, and watch it grow.

One of the newest pieces is the wavy shelf from Schneid Studio. I've wanted this beauty for so long, and I finally treated myself to it.

That would be a marble table from my childhood home. My parents and I always had very different design aesthetics, and I never owned anything "with history." But a couple of years ago, I brought a gorgeous classic marble side table from Berlin to Munich, and I love it very much.

"Love it, but I wouldn't want to live in it." I never aim to have a home that everybody would want to live in. It's just my home, and that's absolutely great. I think interior and design are such personal and intuitive things that I'd be disappointed if my style was everybody's taste.

My home changes on a monthly, sometimes weekly, basis. I don't go with the seasons but with my moods. I often move furniture around, style the shelves differently, get decorations from the attic, and change wall colors or wall decorations. I get bored easily, and I always see new color combos or styles that I would love to try out. So, no fall changes planned here—but my living room could turn into a bedroom a couple of weeks from now.

My home is my safe space. Whenever I open the front door, I feel an immense influence on my nervous system. I'm a big introvert, and I need to take time alone (or with my boyfriend) to recharge—otherwise, I'd definitely crack at some point.

Home is a feeling that can describe people or a place. For me, it's where I can unapologetically be myself. It's people who take me as I am, with all my flaws and imperfections. It's a place where I can be at my best or worst and still feel welcome.
