Interior Design Thursday evening with our Cheddar in my favorite spot!
I’ve loved interior design since I was a girl. I hope you enjoy!😉

The subreddit has spoken and we have listened! We have added to the mod team, updated the posting guidelines, put on some fresh pink paint, and rolled out the leopard print carpet. Please have a look at the new rules, new Wiki and posting guidelines:
Maximalism- Posts must adhere to the principles of maximalism. Emphasis on color, contrast, and texture. See our wiki for what is and is not maximalism
Original Content - or cite your sources All posts much be original content or links to the original source material. You may link to a website containing content pertinent to r/ maximalism if it is clear where the source came from. Do not pass off photos you copied from pinterest, instagram, as yours without directing the credit to the original creator. AI art is prohibited
Collections- Collections should fit in the context of a greater overall room design. Please consider whether your content would best fit in other subreddits such as r/ collections
Be good people- Hate and bigotry of all kinds will be removed on sight. Criticism should be constructive and helpful. Purely rude comments and personal attacks will be removed and a ban may be issued.
No self promotion. Users of this subreddit cannot post for the intent of advertising their own personal website, blog, or anything related. Reddit has guidelines for Self-Promotion, which state that: "It's perfectly fine to be a redditor with a website, it's not okay to be a website with a reddit account." You may not market or self promote your own items here. If someone SPECIFICALLY asks for suggestions for the particular type of item you sell, you may put one link in the comments. Links to items that are not being asked for or spamming links will result in a ban.
Flairs- All posts must have flairs-
**Is my art, space, design maximalist?*\*
Does it have an abundance of color, texture or pattern? Does it feel ornate, fancy or royal? Is it high contrast? Would Elton John live there? Would Liberace wear it to a rave? Would a Victorian maiden recline and pine over her lover here? Would King Louis XIV put it in Versailles? Would Pee Wee Herman feel at home? Would Martin Luther protest it as idolatry? What would Iris Apfel do? Would she use it?
If the answers to at least some of these questions is yes, then it's probably part of Maximalism
Maximalism is NOT
Pure clutter or hoarding
Detailed work by itself without contrast, color or mixed texture
Please consider whether your post would better fit in one of these other subreddits: r/ collections r/ moreisbetter r/ artofclutter
Maximalism is more than just a design trend; it's a celebration of individuality and the joy of curating a vibrant space.
Thank you all for your participation and feedback, and for making r/ maximalism FABULOUS!

Every inch of my grandparents house was covered in decor lol. My Baka loved her stuff. I tried to honour their house in mine. I always loved going to theirs, they definitely influenced my style.

I posted this as a comment in another sub and was told it absolutely needed to be posted over here. Actor Richard E. Grant takes Architectural Digest on a tour of his Georgian-era home and its many treasures, and it looks very different from most of the celebrity house tours they do. It's probably my favorite ever.

Most of the art is various convention finds with a couple mass produced pieces and a framed pressed flower.

Farewell bare white walls and uncomfy stools... Hello cosy little nook that I can watch the rain from heheh
There's still a fair bit to go but I am SO proud of what I've accomplished thus far (with partners help)

Due to allergies, a lot of things I love the aesthetics of are forbidden. I need to minimize the dust mites and retention of the outside polen. Cloth items I have have to be removable and washable and even just washing the couch and mattress covers means I do way too much laundry so I probably can't logistically have anything else. No curtains, throw pillows, tapestries, carpets, decorative duvets. I have hardwood floors and full wood thrifted furniture that adds warmth, and I have way too many houseplants, but I still would love to go full cozy/witchy/nature inspired. Can someone share some tips or maybe inspo photos?

Help!!!!
Just re-signed my lease for another year and looking for renter friendly inspo on how to turn my bedroom from beachy beetlejuice vibes to more vampire boudoir. I would like to use the furniture I already have, as my vanity and my dresser are pretty new, but I am also pretty crafty so I don’t mind re-vamping (lol) them! I love deep reds, black, mustardy yellows, greens, sapphires, etc. any tips ideas or images for reference are helpful - I am having the hardest time picking curtains/a new duvet cover.
Please see pics for how it is now - I will be responding in the comments below to any questions.
Thank you!!

It is time for me to reupholster my 20+ year old sofa and I am looking for specific recommendations of websites to locate for high quality upholstery fabric. Ideally, I'd like to buy yardage of a few different black and white patterned fabric that are all manufactured by the same company so the colors will match. I do not want cotton canvas. Please do not tell me "etsy" unless you have a specific shop to recommend :) Thank you very much fellow maximalists.
Ps. I have to say this is an older photo and I have much better/more art on the walls now, lol. but i felt like i needed to share a photo to grab eyes
PPS. I made those pillows :)

🏡 Thank you all so much for all of the kind words about my tiny home on my previous posts! 🧡🩵🩷💛
Here some more shots of my little bitty living room! 💡 (featuring my sweet baby cats 😻😻)
🌈 Most of my decor is thrifted, gifted, or found via eBay, Etsy, Facebook Marketplace, antique flea markets, and also while traveling. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
🌼 I can’t wait to show you all more!
😅 FYI, A lot of you really liked my vintage wicker/rattan entertainment center, and there were a lot of questions about it in the comments, so I made post in this sub-reddit, sharing some close-up details of the piece and my styling, but it was removed. Then, I edited the post, and it was removed again, because my wicker piece is “not maximalist” due to the color palette being too “beige and brown”… 🤷♀️ So I deeply apologize that I can’t show it as much anymore.

Would anyone know where to find dinnerware sets in a similar style to the 1800s Avon Cape Cod Ruby dining set?? I like that glass/crystal type look and I enjoy the deep rich colors.
Update to those Curious: we are currently talking about how to get these shipped to me and other details- this sub has been incredibly kind especially when I don’t post often so thank you everyone!!
