HOUSE TOUR | Inside A Maximalist New Jersey Home

On today’s episode of Homeworthy, we’re taking you inside interior designer Beth Diana Smith’s maximalist New Jersey home. Describing her approach to design as a spiritual journey, Beth has gut-renovated her home into an eclectic and inspiring oasis.The creative freedom Beth found in design was a breath of fresh air after spending fifteen years as an accountant - which is certainly reflected throughout her home. A complete renovation in 2020 laid the perfect foundation for Beth to introduce beautifully saturated color into the space. Naturally gravitating to sculptural decor, Beth has sprinkled funky, artful furniture to bring an intoxicating happiness into each room. A fusion of affordable finds, DIY installations and custom furnishings has allowed Beth to create a home that is the truest extension of herself. Enjoy!

Beth, her lovely home AND the inclusion of more fabulously curated homes by people of color are all a delightful breath of fresh air!!! Thanks Homeworthy!!!!

[@ruthnakamura9768]

Agreed! ❤

[@josephinebrevig8748]

Couldn’t agree more. Affordable and relatable to most of us ordinary folks who can’t afford vintage or lavish luxury interiors…also wonderful to see that this lovely’s home showcased

[@amandinemanddyna2705]

Kimberly newberry. I do hope you will find a way to deal with your low-self-esteem issues. Backhanded compliment has become such a thing. Good luck with it.

[@mpetersonification]

​@Amandine Manddyna Kimberly Newberry is simply saying thank you for setting an example for people of color and showcasing her beautiful home. There are not many of "us" on Homeworthy. How is this an example of low self-esteem? By the look of your name, you may also be a person of color. We need to be lifting each other up, instead of putting each other down, even in small ways, unless it's constructive criticism (which is what I'm giving you) looks like you need to check your self-esteem from "down there".

[@ericbowen3813]

Def a touchy thing to say. Im going to give her the benefit of the doubr but it is exposing a them and us feeling.

[@carolllawrence]

Thank you for the "maximalist" view! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your home. Tired of folks trying to guilt me into being a minimalist. I LOVE art and I have lots of it. Your home is FABULOUS and so is your story.

[@AnovaLisaDragonfly]

Yes, agree! I’m loving the ‘maximalist’ idea and LOVE what she’s done with her home. For me, it’s books and artifacts/knickknacks. I live with my books. :-)

[@reflektiondesign]

Beth is such good peoples and her home is amazing. Thank you for the shout-out appreciate you Sis!🫶🏽

[@therealJamieJoy]

E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G is so purposeful and pleasing, sculptural, soft, textured, every vignette, every pattern, every color!! THE ART, the placement, the friggin TILE in the powder room!! I squealed with glee when I saw she did a jewel box powder room. This home is the designer. I would love to see all her work any time and have her speak on it. the finesse is there, too. WOW.

[@MJ-hd7nr]

The powder room got me too!❤the textured walls and the huge image sculpture in the living are my favs!

[@therealJamieJoy]

@@MJ-hd7nr OMG I wish I could sneak and do a little walk-thru peek to see it all in person. :)

[@carolcollins3108]

I want to see More of her amazing work. I love it.

[@Christian-is-thriving]

I love the vibe of this home. You can tell each piece was so thoughtfully choosen and expresses her personality. It's gorgeous.

[@lindaflowers-ng7im]

Congratulations on changing your career and following your heart. Your home is beautiful. Proud to see a woman of color show her home and unique style. Please show more.❤

[@piaforbes5716]

I really love Beth Diana Smith’s home and artwork. It’s calm but colorful and welcoming. Plus it’s so exciting whenever designers of color or homes belonging to people of color are featured! Bravo, Homeworthy!

[@ellabransfocombransfor8091]

I love your beautiful home 😊

[@ellabransfocombransfor8091]

From Ella Bransford from Tennessee. 😊

[@wheeltolive1117]

BREATHTAKING!!!! When Beth opened the bathroom door, I was through! She thought of everything. The art, the tea kettle collection, the colors....I need Beth to fix my house!

[@L_Jyll_Dixon]

I love how her home decor is a true reflection of her style and personality. ❤

[@knish72]

The bedroom is exquisitely decorated

[@molly4539]

I absolutely adore that photograph of the woman smoking the cigar. Wow 🤩

[@kwdesigns1]

Love her vibe. So happy she followed her heart as a designer.

[@jenniferalexisgavin1759]

Greatly appreciate Beth sharing her mindset and priorities at the time of purchasing her home (eg: the future responsibility of taking care of her mother) and love how truly different her place looks and feels from the sea of home tours, evident by all her time, energy and focus on each & every decision she made.

[@sherr275]

Her home is absolutely beautiful. Every room,every wall, every piece of art...I love it all. An entire work of art.

[@garlicgirl3149]

I am not a maximalist by any means but I looooved this house! So intentional and HOME.

[@sharonkaysnowton]

Beth Diana Smith has a lovely home. IT is beautiful- all the colors meld well together and it does not look crowded for a maximalist home.

[@susanseverance9683]

Finally: a woman after my own heart. This may be the first Homeworthy I've seen where most if not all of the art is figurative/portrait. If I want to see a landscape, I'll look out the window. So I loved Beth's art tour and the stories behind the acquisitions. There's nothing like these pieces to bring a room/home to life. Also, Beth's combo of creative with business/accounting expertise is a powerful one for a design professional, rare in a world that usually separates the two.

[@Abrandnewday12374]

The art in her home is amazing. Also, because I love teacups, she immediately drew me in with the cups and the pots. Love her style. It's incredibly personal and soul-felt.

[@bsing101]

Yesz she has encouraged me to go back and get a few cups and saucers from a relative that offered them to me yesterday. My grandbaby & I can have tea parties as we chat about her bright future❤

[@lexibestest21]

As a minimalist I always seem to love maximalist home tours. Her bedroom is gorgeous.

[@susannefitzpatrick9955]

There's been a trend in the UK for grey (so boring) and it's so refreshing to see someone who doesn't follow fashion fads but had her home exactly the way she wants it. Simply stunning. I was just about to write how nice it is that the householder is happy where they are and aren't planning to move - when Beth said she was thinking about moving! Such a terrible shame. With the exception of having some garden space (which I'm guessing she doesn't currently have), what's there to move for (don't do it, Beth!!!)? I'd be happy in this apartment for the rest of my days: literally wouldn't change a thing.

[@nyalih929]

What a lovely home, maximalism done right makes being in a room feel effortless and welcoming and this is exactly what Beth has done with her house!

[@CB-jz2dn]

The art piece in the bedroom w/ the woman with the golden butterflies is another MUST HAVE!!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!

[@lightuponlight6727]

Love Love Love your style ...and the ART WORK everywhere. I'd feel so inspired living there. Thanks for sharing your home.

[@Geemeel1]

Wow what a charismatic and super-cool woman , I love her space with surprises in every corner , and the mix of all styles 💞✨

[@lifewithklc]

I also love Sheila Bridges’ Harlem Toile. I have a pair of slippers in her Yellow Harlem Toile. Sheila was the first Black interior designer I became aware of when she was on HGTV, when HGTV was still really fun to watch. Her and Candace Olson were my faves back in the day.

[@SJ-bi9wu]

I heard of Sheila Bridges from Traditional Home, and she was featured quite a bit. Her style is simply outstanding.

[@rocqueljohnson9130]

The art, the color, the vibe all are lovely.

[@s_claire_cecilia5547]

Super lovely person and to have achieved unique sense of herself in her home without throwing endless pots of money at it. Loved it. 👏👏

[@kimmykero2421]

What a beautiful space and story; I love her taste! Loved this episode plenty!😊

[@rhythmoflove2]

I’m a minimalist, but I like her home. It appears to be warm and inviting…thanks for sharing.

[@saharshams2497]

WOW She has the BEST taste and style ever!!!! I LOVED her place and I'm very hard to please when it comes to interior design. It's usually either too plain or too colorful or too vintage or too modern... She somehow reached the perfect balance and warmth! 😍

[@Mrs-yt9ox]

I love the essence of her home. It reminds me of a home as children with the soft lighting, all the pictures, and the decor in in close proximity, reminds me of home and family. I grew up in Cleveland, Oh where the homes were smaller and my mom had a lot of decor but it made us feel warm and safe. This is definitely home❤❤❤

[@JerriCouncil]

Intentionally exotic; creatively eclectic; invitingly complex and boldly elegant! LOVE ❤️ IT ALL!!! BRAVA, Beth!

[@biggothepiggo]

I love Beth's style. She's so creative and talented! Beautiful, unique and cool!

[@RunwrightReads]

This was so beautiful and inspiring to see a home filled with meaningful treasures. I also really enjoyed hearing the story behind the pieces

[@jennifersutton3115]

Wow! A Magnificent Achievement! This home is so beautiful! And unique. What really matter to me is the stories. The mixtures of color's and shape's is breathtaking. This home start endless conversation's. I can't get enough of admiring the beauty. Thanks for sharing 👍❤😊

[@DavidDel88]

Her home looks like jazz sounds. Love her unique style.

[@starveartist]

Omg that Harlem Toile is AMAZING!!! It gives historic traditional vibes, but subverts it with modern and inclusive depictions!!!

[@MsSassyMT]

I love how the rooms were all light and bright but with loads of color, and then you get to the bedroom and you are just enveloped in the sage green. Beautiful space.

[@claudiamann7111]

What a wonderful tour and such a curated home. I love her art and the gallery wall is so interesting with all the different pieces. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us.

[@jenm3056]

Beth, what a gorgeous home! I am townhouse owner too with a similar layout---amazing inspiration 🌻🥰💛

[@ryanamari2233]

I love how it’s showcasing Maximalism and allowing people to see it’s not a cluttered design style everything is curated to serve a purpose and she showcases culture and uniqueness beautifully

[@laurenallen4057]

Her bedroom is perfect, so beautifully done.

[@regisnyder]

Such a beautiful home, especially her bedroom! I love the color palette she used for her bedroom.

[@sarahjane4266]

She has such a lovely and warm personality with beautiful pieces in her home. I felt that the sculptures and decor items could have had a bit more breathing space to fully appreciate them.

[@alinegutierrez]

Her bedroom is perfection

[@madolynway6612]

Wonderful colour. I especially love the art work. How amazing to go from being an accountant and organizer to being a designer. Great careers all.

[@Marpessa28]

I love Smith's lavender doors, that color is very spiritual. Her home is beautiful, cozy, feminine, and divine. Well done Ms. Smith!

[@tanfel4]

I would never want to go to work, or outside too much if my house looked like this. I love every detail of this home.

[@orchidchamblee]

Breath taking home created by an artist. I love how knowledgeable she is about design but it's also very unique to her loves and interests.

[@CornbreadMillionaireLifestyle]

I LOVE her pretty and peaceful home. Very creative with beautiful colors. Each piece is well placed. Thank you for this inspiring video!

[@cbraunc]

Enjoyed this! Everything from her heart. Laid back, welcoming, yet stylish.

[@hadeev]

I love the eclectic, maximalist theme going on here. Beautiful lady. Beautiful home.

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

I don’t know her but after watching this I wanna spend the night on that velvet sofa 🤣 she seems so lovely 😃 Love this channel 💚

[@meishawelcome8584]

I love unexpected things. Absolutely love the basket with liquor in it. Such a small thing but the basket softens just liquor sitting out. Love it. Love so much about Beth’s space.

[@feliexplores1813]

Beautiful home filled with so many amazing pieces.

[@melissascott6480]

I love everything, especially your art pieces. I totally agree with the comment of seeing more designers of color. Thanks for shining the light on them Homeworthy.

[@emmyems5171]

Love Beth! I’ve been following her on IG for years! Happy to finally see a tour of her beautiful home! The bedroom is my absolute favorite.

[@valerieirons6166]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your home! The colors are AMAZING. Fantastic!

[@adriennewilliams3775]

I’m a Jersey Girl (60+) from Essex County, Accounting Degree / career & a love for organizing. You lived the dream by taking it to the next level and going to interior design school! I just want to know where you bought of your items??!! Kitchen ware etc. oh, and I had a purple couch too for years! I have similar organic/ Ethnic eclectic taste, but your home is awesome!!

[@lesliecruguet4136]

This is my soul sister!! I love her and her unique style....and I'm a white girl in Florida...loving the bold colors and textures. My house is very much like this- vibrant, bohemian, tropical and maximalist. Thank you for featuring her!

[@virgo2u181]

I love that she's African American with such beautiful style please show more of these if possible

[@carolbuchel3011]

I love your colorful home. The gallery wall is wonderful!!

[@melodyemay6402]

Absolutely stunning and beautiful! I love everything in this home! What an oasis!

[@CJ-xg6ii]

Beth is beautiful, and so is her home. Very tasteful maximalism♥️ Love how she found her way to interior design. Also love how she considers her guests’ experience in her space. She’s obviously a talented designer, and I bet she’s a great friend as well.

[@CB-jz2dn]

I love the window covering in the kitchen. Beautiful fabric.

[@lindaharris8514]

What an Elegant Home ! Beautiful. The Kitchen is my Favorite !

[@Mimi-ht6xr]

Such a beautiful dwelling that speaks home. You did an amazing job renovating everything. Your art is amazing. ❤

[@CB-jz2dn]

I really enjoyed this home tour. LOVE THE WALL ART. The ladies with the facial expressions are a MUST HAVE!

[@jessicaleigh3286]

The maximalist style is so warm, cozy, and AWESOME! I'm going that route but with a lot of antique/vintage mixed with modern. Her home is beautiful just like she is!

[@TeresaofOrange]

This is the style I think I'm accomplishing but failing miserably at! I love everything about this house and the art is next level! Thanks for showcasing!!

[@angryflowerchild7849]

This home is so beautifully curated. The space comes off as uniquely her. love it.

[@Laura-rx9mp]

Finally, someone whose taste I can relate!!!! I too have a "maxi/boho" vibe home and goodness my walls are filled with unconventional pieces. Yes yes velvet is the BOMB. Thank you so much for inviting us into your lovely home. Cheers

[@CassieDavis613]

Ms Smith, Brava!

[@user-dj2mt3bh7c]

Would love to see more maximalist style similar to this amazing designer home. So inspiring and unique. Don’t want to a traditional style every single time.😊

[@La-bq6jj]

The woman with the butterfly photo is AMAZING!!!

[@lukethomas658]

Her art collection is really personal, really interesting.

[@angelaberni8873]

I loved EVERYTHING about her home !!!

[@ofeliacardenas2362]

I love a good maximalist home. ❤

[@JAZZLlFE]

When I was a kid, my mother brought home everything she could find with the idea that she was going to use it...needless to say she turned into what I called Mrs. Fred Sandford from "Sanford & Son". Our house was always full of what I consider to be junk. When I became an adult, I loved the idea of space and with no conscious effort I became a minimalist. When this video popped up, I decided to see if it would trigger me...and it did! The more I watched the more anxiety I felt I although must say the coziness of being surrounded by things in the bedroom did appeal to me for some reason. Although I will stick to my minimalist lifestyle I do appreciate and actually envy those who can live a maximalist lifestyle like this woman does in her beautiful home.

[@familyjewelz4113]

I had an embroidered pillow that my great grandmother made. It was falling apart so I salvaged what I could and put it in a frame in my dining room. It is one of my favorite pieces of art on my wall ❤.

[@trishwhetzel2061]

I love the color, textures, and all the diversity. Simply exquisite thank you for sharing.

[@karenwhite8680]

Hi Beth💐breath taking and fulfillment to my eyes. The art is stunningly gorgeous. I always wanted to see my dream. I know now all things are possible. This is mind blowing. Your personality matches your home. Your bless and so gifted in what you do. I am honored to be a part of your tour. Blessings be unto you🙏💛🌻🦋

[@brae3088]

Fabulous!

[@cmwmz7106]

My favorite color is purple so the powder room and couch were my favorites. Beth’s home is lovely, vibrant and interesting!
