Screen-free environments have become more desirable recently, as people long to connect and unplug from our digital world. Dallas designer Kara Adam refers to the tech-free movement as \u201cAnalog Joy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMore and more clients are craving what I call \u2018analog rooms\u2019\u2013\u2013basically spaces designed for slowing down,\u201d Adam said. \u201cIt\u2019s not about going off the grid; it\u2019s about creating a room that naturally invites focus, conversation and calm.\u201d<\/p>\n
Analog rooms are ideal for puzzles, cards, reading, cocktails and connecting with loved ones through conversation. \u201cThe goal is a layered, tactile room that feels lived-in, inviting, and intentionally disconnected. It\u2019s a quieter kind of luxury, and clients can\u2019t get enough of it,\u201d Adam explained.<\/p>\n
Spaces specifically designed for play have become more in demand, often with game tables as the focus. Lina Galv\u00e3o, co-founder and principal at Curated Nest in Greenwich, Connecticut, said the game table has come a long way from days of yore.<\/p>\n
\u201cTen years ago, it was difficult to find aesthetic choices, whereas today, the options are many,\u201d Galv\u00e3o said. \u201cThe recent obsession with Mah Jong has also spurred a new round of beautiful game tables by furniture designers and manufacturers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Screen-free environments have become more desirable recently, as people long to connect and unplug from our digital world.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":257074,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[267],"tags":[56872,365,362,363,364,41570,86458,86471,86460,86473,366,18,117,3334,133039,86475,19,17,3521,6403,82656,9436,44285,1658,1361,86463,106543,133038,106544,133037,106550,133041,106551,133040,26243,86474],"class_list":{"0":"post-257073","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-home-improvements","9":"tag-arts","10":"tag-arts-and-design","11":"tag-artsanddesign","12":"tag-artsdesign","13":"tag-content-types","14":"tag-content-type-content-type-article","15":"tag-content-type_content-type-article","16":"tag-credited-by-mansion-global","17":"tag-credited_by_mansion_global","18":"tag-design","19":"tag-eire","20":"tag-entertainment","21":"tag-general-news","22":"tag-headline-only-content","23":"tag-home-garden","24":"tag-ie","25":"tag-ireland","26":"tag-lifestyle","27":"tag-living","28":"tag-living-lifestyle","29":"tag-political","30":"tag-political-general-news","31":"tag-property","32":"tag-real-estate","33":"tag-real-estate-property","34":"tag-subject-subject-design","35":"tag-subject-subject-designers-corner","36":"tag-subject-subject-lifestyle","37":"tag-subject-subject-special-report","38":"tag-subject_subject-design","39":"tag-subject_subject-designers-corner","40":"tag-subject_subject-lifestyle","41":"tag-subject_subject-special-report","42":"tag-synd","43":"tag-wsj-pro-mansion-global"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257073\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/257074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
