JuJu Hats
A beautiful design element with a fascinating history, JuJu hats are go to accessory for many designers.
JuJu Hats bring a wonderful organic and natural element to a room.
They themselves are a work of art.
Once only worn by a chosen few to signify power or wealth, their meaning is steeped in mystery throughout history. Many believe they hold magical powers, both good and evil.
I do not know if they possess any power but they are certainly beautiful and that is magical enough for me.
Quite amazing no? I would love to see a tribal ceremony for myself. And that beadwork…
Bucket List Item.

A juju hat and pillows made from Suzani’s? Yes. Yes and yes.

This room is incredible. The mix of the industrial with the organic is really pretty.

I do not think I could ever love this room any more than I do right now.

Amazing. Notice how the arch of the ceiling mimics the top of the hat and the stool shape mimics the bottom. A++++!! I love, love love this.

How about a more feminine approach? Very ethereal.

Black and white is always a classic. The juju hat softness really takes the edge off all of the hard surfaces.
We used two hats in this gorgeous (if I do say so myself) living room…
Then my Smith-Honig partner, Melanie, and I created a digital version for my master bedroom.
We are actually creating a home decor line that will feature the juju hat. Stay tuned for that!

How about a DIY juju hat?
Tricia at Suburban Bitches has a great tutorial.
So what are you thinking? Love them? Hate them? Have them?
I’d love to know.
Oh my gosh – I love juju hats so much I want to marry them. That pinkish bathroom is amazing – and the modern fireplace with the juju hat and art. Plus, that one of the three orangey-red ones is (I think) a Barry Dixon show house, which has inspired so many things in my house!
