As a graphic designer, I have a love for obsession with type.  I collect fonts like some women collect shoes. So, it’s only natural that I think that typefaces and type elements would make an excellent decorating motif.  I don’t think type should be relegated to just children’s rooms or classrooms.  You can use initials of your family members, words or full quotations.  Type can add a very subtle and unique personal touch to your home.

Here are some rooms to inspire you.
