Ok, truth be told, I appreciate both. Last year, I read and blogged about The More of Less, a great book by Joshua Becker about the joys of Minimalism. It really inspired me! Recently I watched a great documentary, Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things, which I highly recommend! It runs just a little over an hour, you can find it on Netflix. As a result of this documentary, I am editing yet again; it must be a Spring thing!
However, anyone who knows me would probably not think “Minimalist”. I always tell my friends minimalism means different things to different people. Some people might think 6 pairs of shoes is excessive, some may think 6 is the bare minimum. It’s all a matter of perspective.
Yet, Maximalism in design is on the rise! Interiors are definitely becoming more layered and colorful. Maximalism’s motto is “more is more”. I am ok with this idea, but just remember there is a big difference between maximalism and clutter! Be careful! A successful Maximalist room is well planned, with special attention to mixing patterns , colors, and styles.
Here are some of my favorite minimalist and maximalist rooms:
How would you describe your decorating, more minimalist or maximalist? I would love to know!
Always enjoy your insights and inspirations!
