I have finally had to accept that I am a maximalist. I’ve never seen a bare space that I didn’t want to decorate. I like a mix of colors and eccentric accents and big accessories. I’ve tried hard to be a minimalist-I find the look extremely sophisticated-but alas, I am not extremely sophisticated. I do live in terror of the day I have to stage my house to sell. . . .

[@valeriemelendez5860]

I feel the same way… everytime i declutter, the space needs something big or decorated but never bare… even when i look at my ceilings i want big sheer drapes to hang where the ceiling is high. Im tired of everything especially white baseboards… what’s wrong with me lol

[@afrobluatlanta2380]

Me too! And I love it. Never boring. 😊

[@donnamalpass5202]

I'm the same ! I always think play safe and stick to neutral bare walls , minimilism is easier to clean etc . But NO it's not me . I always walk past this house where its black windows and a bright orange door with lovely lighting and I think I would love look inside that house. I also worry about having to re sell !

[@mahogany1967]

Maximalist decor rocks!

[@sakinahabdul-jaleel]

I am a PROUD MAXIMALIST!!!! THANK YOU! It's a challenge finding channels that celebrate us, lol! I am an interior designer and most of my clients are the complete opposite and I love it because I love ALL design so much that I have been able to experience it ALL! ❤️

[@andreabenson2491]

I love the maximalist style - it feels like your home is hugging you! 👏👍❤️

[@HomeDecor1011]

Hahaha! OMG, my mother and aunt said the same thing! I glad you liked it Andrea! Thank you for watching!!

[@mizzmolly7649]

I'm a maximalist FOR LIFE! I lived in my home for 15 years before I spent any time in my family room. That's after I made every wall an art wall. Now it feels relaxing.

[@oldladylovesBruno]

I love Maximalist style. It has such personality. There are stories and memories that go with many of the items. Minimalist style, to me, is so boring and sterile. I love color, and I love displaying my treasures and unique decor items.

[@TheMaiah13]

I had a tiff with my house painter as he kept insisting I paint my walls grey and not to re-hang back my antique paintings. How dare he, a man who obviously not have any taste whatsoever tell me what to do with MY House. He even egged my husband on about not hanging any art as it makes it difficult for him to paint next time. Am still furious.

[@twistoffate4791]

@@TheMaiah13 I would have been furious, too. Tell him to do what he wants at his house. At your house, it should be about what you want. Period!!

[@lauriestark9475]

Yah! My daughters can no longer call me a hoarder, now I’m a trendy maximalists!!!! Style has caught up with me. Lol just love my stuff…

[@thatscool1550]

omg this!!!!!!! IS EXACLY what i said but better LOL

[@mahogany1967]

Yes! I love color, texture, patterns, books and of course art!

[@calvinguile1315]

I always have loved this style. I love color and art and mixing styles, it is a lifestyle

[@milkweeddreams8828]

Yup, proud maximalist here too, I call my style Botiki, a combo Bohemian, tiki and oddities...fireplace wall is black, trim and fireplace are white with another accent wall color of Terra cotta, Moroccan Sky. Lots of vintage rattan furniture, animal prints and taxidermy, plus my own watercolors of birds framed in vintage clock cases on mantel...an antique dealer, I'm surrounded by treasure...but I want to have fun with it...so let's walk through the atrium doors to my tiki bar...time for a cocktail and more design scheming, right...it never ends!

[@Maximalistcollector]

i collect almost everything, car plate, spiritual stuff, video games merchandise, enamel pin, flag, fantasy stuff and limited edition merch. my room is full of stuff and i love it.

[@margaridavelhinho1618]

I love lots of antique furniture, pottery and books in the same space. I am a maximalist for sure. I love the style.

[@goldenlabelstudio]

I am ready to live my life in full-on COLOUR!

[@AJ-lz3lr]

The point is that the items have meaning for you, and are able to be enjoyed daily.

[@beloveddaughterofthelordmo8622]

My favorite are the French, Victorian, European Maximalist with the collection of Porcelain and graciously curved furnitures and accessories. And with matching gold accents. I love it!

[@mjj7781]

Same here!

[@antoniatarnaroutskaya6401]

Me too! I agree with what you mentioned.

[@kimholowell9245]

I absolutely love all of this!!! So artsy and full of interesting things

[@lulli5620]

Ich flieg weg! Wie geil ist das denn?!!! Wooow!!!! 🤩🤩😍😍

[@dixiemerchant1052]

So that's the name of how I live and decorate my environment!! Thx for a great video!

[@sharonwebb945]

The floral mural and olive green sofa now that’s tasteful! Stunning! Also like the room with the tree roots…

[@regiegregorio5852]

I love the morocan design…and i love country of morocco.

[@m.l.moorhouse9186]

Celebrating colour is totally my vibe! Jewel tones lift my spirits, and being a maximalist gal here in Toronto, I absolutely loved several of your rooms, especially the ones where orange & green hues were highlighted. Cheers!

[@ricardoanevarez9704]

I am one...love it, and many taht come to my tiny studio love it....color and life.

[@bingboyify]

i love both maximalism and minimalism, i decorated my room with 3 walls kind of minimalism and kept them really simple, and 1 wall maximalism with all my personality, a big ass book shelf and lots of art pieces!

[@HomeDecor1011]

Oh wow now that sounds interesting and beautiful! If you ever want to post pictures of your room or any room decor that you love you definitely can in the Facebook group! Just find us at And Then There Was Style

[@sandyheredia3027]

I love plants, I have in bathroom, room, living room, and kitchen, still have more re to go😊

[@Jasmin-yn6lv]

I live the maximalist life and I love it. Currently im more in the blues and greens with my plants since I dont have much space but I am getting a bigger place and am buy old antique furniture and plenty of light pink velour. I love showing off my things because its like walking into a room displaying who I am. it is a mix of all the things I love and putting them together for others to see is 100% my way of expressing myself. It is my home and you can tell

[@wakingtheworld]

My philosophy too!

[@Vikilyse]

It looks best to me with jewel tones and patterns with gilding. I also love that velvet, ornate, and textured type fabrics look right at home

[@TheGypsyVardo]

Obsessed with this style! Absolutely love it!

[@juanalarcon5320]

a much needed take in great decor. I am sooooo bored and fed up with open concept minimalistic spiritual bs sad and boring nowadays deco. tHIS DECO MAKES ME HAPPY

[@kevincournoyer4789]

I am a maximalist and didn't even know it I luv to show case every thing I have. I have 3 gallery walls alot of stained glass every color of the 🌈 is represented. There is so much visual stimulation along with sexy eye candy art. My ☮️ pad is so much fun to live in .I truly ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜my home

[@thatscool1550]

this is my jam, my house is a mix of most of these spaces!!! a bit more dog hair and natural light lol so awesome that my style is loved by people, believe me when I say I have occurred a lot of hate in the last 20 years lol I am a hippie boho maximalist and I like my things, every single thing has a story it has taken me almost 40 years and now its popular. lol I LOVE IT!!!!! my daughters tell everyone our house is "my moms magical brain clutter" lol

[@prophetesspinki1]

The pink one by far is my favorite

[@give_peas_a_chance]

I've tried to be a minimilist but it kills my soul. I love colours, the more the merrier, it's very soothing. I really love the more hippy style rooms like the one near the start of the vid with the hanging plants and rattan shelving- very 70s. I was looking for inspiration, so thank you very much !

[@carolynfinn-fleming8032]

I love this style. I tried to downsize my stuff but I hate a bare wall, I love to see all my stuff on display. Color, pattern( a little leopard print in every room)and plants are my jam but it must flow and feel comfy! I loved something in all the rooms so can't pick a fav.

[@ribbrascal1065]

Lol I have a LOT of leopard print in my living room.

[@texasstardust6010]

I've ALWAYS been a " Maximimilst ", and I'm in my late 60's.....who knew....?! This " style " did not have a name attached to it decades ago. ...to me, it was just normal to have a home reflect ones personality and embrace things that you want in your home, what you like. And I dont mean ' cluttered ' , I am talking about collections, books ( 400 books) ...I like unique things, like certain kinds of lamps. I love fringe. I don't care for all the overly bright tones, mine are softer , but I have quite a mix of colour going on . I adore various shades of green and even though the majority of my large pieces are ' neutral ' ,I have a lovely secretary desk in a beautiful shade of green. Throw pillows in the same hue. I like colour in rugs, Accessories, and so on.

[@jeanwestland2293]

I'm a maximalist. I'm in my 80's. It's a wonderful style. I'm french provincial with the 'newer' accents of fur throws and lots of leopard print rugs and pillows. Bookcases of books, a collection of suitcases, and a few busts of Romans. And it all goes smoothly one to the other. I use muted tones though. What fun!

[@selestewithans]

Seriously thank you for this ..I’m def a true maximalist at heart ..I’ve tried minimal but def not for me ..I love my treasures I love seeing them and how they all come together so beautifully ..as every true interior designer says “your home is a reflection of you and should tell your story” after all at the end of a hard day I come home to it all and it always brings a smile to my face

[@kerrykuss642]

I definitely have a Maximalist house. It is probably a lot tamer than some of the homes you showed here. I do love the jewel-toned spaces the most. I wasn't quite that brave. My main space, the great-room is yellow walls with red, green and a bit of blue. It is bright and so cheerful! It makes me happy all the time and when people come into the space, they often comment on how beautiful it looks. I call my style English Cottage. It has those elements, with the jam packed eye candy that is Maximalist. There are many vintage collections which I love to shop for. Especially thrifted.

[@silvestafigueroa-ln7ik]

I’m a maximalist, and It feels cozy and being surrounded by things I love makes me smile.

[@shirelymitchell4793]

I really love the pink room. But all of them are beautiful.

[@royjones59344]

Anything is better than white on white on white. In my opinion.

[@mahogany1967]

Yes!

[@sharonflonnory3078]

I'm a big maximalist and love it❤

[@56music64]

I like the last image. Very nice selection, I love colour

[@traceygartrell3419]

Thank you for your inspiration

[@susanutterback300]

My style is Shabby Chic/Cottagecore so my colors are softer but in some aspects it is like a Max in that all of my treasures are displayed!

[@sandyheredia3027]

On top of my kitchen cabinets I have all my roosters. As well as my walls. I still have a few empty wall space I have to fill 😊

[@julesl4525]

I think my favorite room is at 2:05 mark. 😍❤️ I love this decorating style.

[@antoniatarnaroutskaya6401]

To original poster. I like how you described the maximalist decor.

[@Golden_Glamourzon]

I Always do it to the maximum! Love these...wish I could hv them all 🌟Btw, the jewel toned rooms are my fave 👍

[@HomeDecor1011]

I LOOOOVE a good jewel tone room as well! One of my faves!

[@marlenegonzalez941]

I also have a green couch😻❣️.Light and texture...SO important..

[@suskelleykelley7241]

I feel free to express myself with things I enjoy and colors

[@ribbrascal1065]

I'm a maximalist for sure. What's is essential for this style to work: curating carefully to fill empty spaces with what you love, a coherent color palette and especially a beautiful lighting design. My favorites are at 5:02 and 5:24

[@give_peas_a_chance]

LOVE the one at 5.24 !

[@antoniatarnaroutskaya6401]

Well said

[@dianemunson9698]

I liked your choice also & a few of the others

[@Jglendab8153]

I am a maximalist. No doubt about it. I agree, it's not cluttered, however, it's important to constantly edit your decor. You must know at what point to stop.

[@wakingtheworld]

Exactly. IF I bought another item, I'd have to get rid of another or my space would turn into a Victorian parlour....

[@TheFoxybrown7119]

Love this style!! I wish I could achieve these looks😍

[@pixieaeschliman1641]

Girl, you can! Every piece in your home should make you smile and evoke Good vibes and emotions! just throw it all in together, then move it around until It feels good!

[@ribbrascal1065]

You can! It just takes some time to find and curate your ornamentation (with love), trial and error to see what works and what doesn't, a coherent color palette and *especially* a beautiful lighting design.

[@josmith8233]

I love the chartreuse room 4:37, the red room the natural wall room...

[@JJ33438]

such a great video I loved it. thank you so much.

[@therealunicornselene]

Thank you so much!

[@williambender6711]

Love this!

[@thechickincharge1073]

I prefer to call it VISUAL ABUNDANCE. I crave it! I don’t think you properly represented it here though. It isn’t necessarily about crazy colors. It’s about having out all the ‘things’ that you love. After watching I am convinced I don’t fall into the category of these gaudy pictures. It should only be colorful if that’s what you crave.

[@kimkirksey562]

I lean monochromatic...max...but each one of the rooms in my home have a different vibe...the beginning blue green... were the 2 I really liked

[@rebeccakeeney9839]

I'm definitely a minimalist.i don't think I have a square foot in my place of empty space. I just love, love, love colors! It's not just eye candy, it's a color buffet!

[@rebeccakeeney9839]

Auto spell. Ugh. Supposed to have said Maximalist.

[@alisadotson8403]

I am an unabashed maximalist!

[@Kate42]

Absolutely stunning!! I love everything about this look. I just love the Asian room toward the end of this video. I love giant ginger jars and pretty much anything Asian style.

[@Katie-vy5rd]

Your favorite is mine! Love the art, color, mix of patterns and symmetry!

[@yuancarloborja2543]

im a maximalist too interior decorating is my passion however everytime i share my ideas some people dont like it they said that its too busy on their eyes the space made it smaller lots of patterns colors are not coodinated because the colors combined in black white gray green yellow and a touch of gold and orange..

[@shereecontreras2846]

Punctuation is your friend! Lol! I almost passed out trying to read your whole post without it!

[@ivanafityoga9641]

I'm gypsy, we live like this. I never knew its this style. I really thought only gypsies combine dramatic- poetic bold deco. Thank you

[@11naa44]

Just learning abt this n i love it

[@julieedwards5070]

I think the saying is " A house without books is like a body without a soul". I think that a house without all of your collections trinkets and treasures is also lacking a soul in my book. I get a buzz from maximalist/bohemian decor - it makes me happy......

[@coronasolartarot272]

Not all maximalist styles were created equally. In this video we saw the chic, the expensive, the unique and the cozy, but we also saw the unplanned, the cluttered, the messy and the dirty-looking.

[@wakingtheworld]

I must be a Maximalist then... but I don't do gaudy or bold... I don't mix fabrics & prints... and I don't do clashing colours... The colours I bring into my home have to compliment the space even down to any fresh flowers. I consider my taste tasteful, but there's little wall space left! So I have to pick? Most too OTT for my liking & the colours far too busy, so if I HAD to choose - 6:10 with 7:15 a close 2nd!

[@sullak7]

Just found your channel! New subscriber...love!

[@denisesmith4789]

My daugter put me on to this site im a big an of this look we are so lucky to be people of all colors pulling in everything is such fun when people get invited into my tiny belonged up batch in a paddock its a big surprise the best thing i love is every room has chandeliers in every room even my lo my moro is something old something new something borrowed and all the colors of the rainbooo my nick name is magpie lots of love to all the clutter 🤗💃

[@HomeDecor1011]

Hello Magpie and thank you for watching! Thank your daughter for sharing my channel lol! Maximalist style is so bright, colorful, and fun. So many different ways to implement it in our homes! Keep on watching and let me know if there is a specific video you would like!

[@sharonwebb945]

I think I’d enjoy visiting friends with maximumism but go home to industrial x Hamptons & then possibly have one room or maybe a corner of a room where I go max!

[@ruthirwin8222]

I think im in between minimal and maximal ism, i find all the colours a bit over whelming, but i do love the stuff i love lol

[@michellelovespink2660]

@6:59 but lose pillows and nick knacks instead crushed velvet pillows, maybe red and different figures. Love the wall paper and furniture is ok. or @8:39 but I would have to switch stuff up a little. Lol

[@widowswatch6610]

I love it as long as it is kept clean and neat. But isn’t this the same as eclectic? ( NO I CAN SEE NOW MAXIMALIST HAS MUCH MORE STUFF IN IT!!!!). LOL. !!! My country home is eclectic and I guess maximalist “ a little”. Well anyway it is very cozy, comfortable and not boring. And I Love greens and fall colors. I just love design. I love changing things up too. I think there’s nothing worse than a home owner that leaves the same window curtains up for years or the same decor the same year after year no matter how much you love it. That gets too boring in my opinion. 👍🌺🍁🌸🌻🌷🏡🏡🏡🏠🏠🏠

[@cooperwesley1536]

The thing with maximalism is that it isn't a new style that you just adopt for 5-10 yrs. Maximalism has ALWAYS existed and will always exist. A true maximalist just "knows" and decorates accordingly. I've been a maximalist for over 30 yrs, and if you told me to "move on" to something new, I don't think I would or even could. The trick to maximalism is to ignore every style trend that comes along and just do what you want. Obey rules of scale, color, and use... but aside from that, just be your own unique self and flip off anyone who objects!

[@TheJohnGent1]

Favourite room: 4:10.

[@imaginempress3408]

I am a card-carrying Maximalist. Go big or go home.

[@CosmosQueen]

I love this style! I just wondered if there are rules on how many colours on your walls? Is it still two? With plants, textures and artwork to break it up? Also wooden floors with rugs? I`ve had a go in my study but it`s tricky to achieve this look if you have built in units rather than freestanding natural elements. Because there`s limited furniture it`s not easy to add soft furnishings eg cushions and throws to soften it. Any advice for me? Thanks

[@indiag6361]

I love the coziness of maximalism, but I’m not sure how feasible it is when we have 2 cats who shed everywhere 😢

[@carolfreeman9773]

So much better once I turned the sound off.

[@marciavasconcelosbezerra3256]

[@HomeDecor1011]

Thanks for watching Marcia!!

[@cd2659]

I think you found the extreme pictures of maximalist designs. I am a maximalist, but these pictures are even too much for me. It looks like HGTV designers tried to put together maximalist rooms lol.

[@Nunubell]

Maximalism, where millennials exist, a label must be coined. It’s not new, it doesn’t need to be taught. Anyone who has the necessity of decorating creatively and sometimes on a budget, or loves to make their home a haven with collections, items with sentimental value and quirky finds, exist in this type of space. And guess what? You can absolutely mix pastels with jewel tones. Everything is placed aesthetically in the eye of the beholder. I grew up seeing my great grandmother, grandmas and parents decorate homes like this without much thought. I bring items into my house when I know there is a crowded niche of like items where it will blend well.

[@Rayasratchetplants]

I know I'm very late to this conversation, but I would like to add that I feel like a diagnosis of ADHD at 35 made me realize why I am a maximalist. Because if I cannot see it, I do not know I have it. I love the spaces that are clean and free of clutter but I would literally buy everything I want multiple times because I don't know exists😅.

[@HomeDecor1011]

Your post is the story of my life. The odor that I get if I do not see it, I do not have it, which has resulted in me buying three and four of the same item! Yes to everything you just said!

[@OutOfYourVulcanMind]

Maximalism absolutely IS a lifestyle, because the majority of those rooms have so much stuff you'd spend all your waking hours cleaning it (unless you can afford a housekeeper). I think it can be fun, but not so much in tiny spaces where it can feel claustrophobic. Also, having a hefty budget helps because using bold, cheap items just looks like hoarding and would look gaudy more than chic.

[@antoniatarnaroutskaya6401]

Second hand items are everywhere to chose from on a small budget. People giving stuff away daily on fb market place. Budget has not as much to do with as passion does.

[@Lisa-eo9gd]

How do you dust the space and keep it clean?

[@valeriemelendez5860]

Putting air filters on all wall/floor vents will help a lot 😊 if your unit is inside the house, opt for changing it more often or buying a reusable filter.

[@zentagleadaptedquilting5532]

Some beautiful spaces. Curious if you noticed your commentary and images didn’t correspond to each other? Perhaps that was intentional. Just noticed when you were talking about gallery wall the images were of single pieces of art and a screen that filled a wall. When mentioning ginger jars or ceramic collections those great shots of the blue and white porcelain filling the console table wasn’t shown. Great content and a little tweaking would improve things.

[@HomeDecor1011]

Thank you for your feedback! You have brought up some really great ideas and I will definitely take notice of them from now on. Usually I will place all of the images in the video and then construct a script based off of that home decor style but you are absolutely right I think I will keep doing it that way but then take a look at it and if I have images that correspond to what I'm saying switch them up if that makes sense. I really really appreciate it! Any other helpful hints and tips you have I will gladly listen. 😂😂😂

[@pixieaeschliman1641]

I don't agree with your theory of color matching. "If You are gonna use pastels, use all pastels" That's the point of maximalism. Being allowed the freedom to mix and match All things/colors that Evoke happiness!😊

[@HomeDecor1011]

Hi Pixie! I totally understand what you are saying! My "tip" was geared towards those who want to dabble in maximalism and didnt really know where to start. Ive run across several people who are totally intimidated by this style believe it or not. The more I researched this style the more I fell in love with it, I could totally see why someone would want this look in their home. Thanks for watching!

[@Motomamiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

Volume on full And I still can’t hear you whispering lol

[@HomeDecor1011]

So sorry about that! Ill double my volume next time!

[@Aceofcups111]

There’s maximalism and then there’s hoarding buried alive.

[@maryannemeyers5336]

i am a a maximalist, and I love it, but I am more on the Shabby Chic and Victorian style., Not this Modern crap, I do not like Modern at all.

[@sandysmom100]

Hi .Love your channel, just found it .I'm more minalmaist now. But I used to have more decor and knick knacks out .Now my kids are adults living with me and I'm in my fifties, I just can't get with all those bright colors in one room .I don't why, but it makes me anxious and nauseous. I have been researching for over a year what my next style will be , cuz my tastes are involving .I hate modern decor . Two uncaring family members ruined close to 6000 Of our belongings and furniture. Im thinking maybe red and yellow- gold with cream and a pop of orange or turquoise or even purple. But I also like the black and white decor with gold accents. I even like the leopard print as that used to big in the Hollywood glam era .I would use SOME pops of color .I think a gallery wall would be nice .

[@rubyokosi6946]

I’m getting rid of maximalist lifestyle at this very moment . It can be beautiful but it can quickly turn into clutter❤

[@norahdenovan8658]

Eh not for me, love colour, but all too much, I think of the cleaning g& dusting etc 👎

[@HomeDecor1011]

LOLOL.... Dusting would actually take quite a while!

[@christiewilliams1704]

too busy.

[@leesmith3768]

Minimalism and now the boho trend is totally devoid of personality in my unsolicited opinion, maximalism gives me a real sense of who a person is. Be a minimalist if you want but my goodness, can't you have color as well, why can't you display your 33 possessions in a space with green walls, why must everything be beige, white or bleached wood 😩

[@bernadettebohan5822]
