Step Inside A Joyous Memphis Home Complete With Hand-Painted Wallpaper & A Full-Size Disco Ball

David Quarles, IV, knows a thing or two about sparking joy. The interior designer, jewelry creator, vegan foodie multi-hyphenate uses his social media to spread a smile daily—be it through an uplifting playlist, a celebratory mocktail recipe, or a peek inside his cheerful home in Memphis, Tennessee. Today, Quarles is giving us a tour of his space that's wonderfully alive with patterns, colors, and a statement-making disco ball.

Love, joy, and intentionality.

As I continue to experience this world, I allow my growth as a person and designer to beautifully influence how I design/redesign my home. Our houses are always open to editing, so, yes, I switch things up as I see fit.

I believe the dining room is the heart of the home. Here friendships are made and strengthened through food, good drinks, and communication, and there's always a beautiful moment to be shared. 

Smells are something I take very seriously! My signature smell consists of combinations of amber, vetiver, rose, vanilla patchouli, and slight notes of citrus gin.

It's hard for me to pick just one due to the amount of artwork I have to choose from, but if I had to specify one piece, it would be my disco ball because of how it reflects light (especially during golden hour) and how it "travels."

That my home feels good, feels like love is created here, and that there is #asenseofhappy. 

It provides #asenseofhappy. This is important to me because so much in this world can rob us of our joy, and we need to have one specific place to replenish our joy so that we have enough to put back into the world.

Home to me means safety and peace. It's a place where love is shown and a place where inspiration is born.
