Good ol’ Thomas Jefferson.

The real Independence Day here in the USA is serious business, as stated in the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

It’s a great sentiment that we all have the right to pursue our own lives. We at Mochi Home are firm believers that everyone should be true to their own unique style. So, here’s a roundup of fun and creative spaces with a little Independence Day flair. Happy Fourth of July, everyone!

Forget stars and stripes. How about chevrons and stripes?

An eclectic red-white-blue color scheme. All you need are one or two punchy pieces of color in this otherwise neutral space. I particularly love the plushy ottoman contrasted with the very rough wooden beams.

Here is some adorable vintage Americana. I don’t usually go for rustic Americana, so I’m loving this non-rustic vintage government office vibe instead. Just look at the amazing details like the rotary phone and old school filing cabinet!

Custom Art

And of course, any eclectic interior can use a splash of custom art! It’s the ultimate expression of your independence from mass market products. You can use your own photos, your text and even pick your own colors. Who wouldn’t like that?
