whimsical

Whimsical things are playful and fun, with a bit of surprise or unexpectedness. They can also be quirky or unconventional.

When people describe something as whimsical, they usually mean that it's charming and interesting because of its unusual nature. For example, you might call a children's movie "whimsical" if it features fantastical creatures and silly characters. In decorating, a room with vintage furniture and bright colors could be called whimsical. If someone describes a person as having a whimsical personality, they mean that the person is quirky and has a playful way of looking at things. The word can also imply a sense of fantasy or imagination, like in a novel with magical elements.
