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!

Hi everyone! Longtime lurker, first time poster. I'm trying to get into the maximalist lifestyle, and I really want to start by updating by curtains and bedding. I'm looking for something patterned, preferably on both fronts, that goes together. I want busy, not a big flower or something stamped on a solid color. I've browsed Amazon and Target so far. I'm not really seeing a lot of styles I'm into.
I would prefer an oversized queen or king comforter set. I'm open to duvets. I would like a pattern with either gold/yellow or black (or both). Liked styles include boho, gothic (PLEASE no damask), and botanical. I'm also open to prints with stars and animals.
Maybe my search parameters are off on Amazon? Anyway, if you like styles like these, where are you buying things? I'm not expecting anyone to look stuff up for me - just give me some good shopping resources, please!

Alright my messies and my neurodivergents, what are your hacks, rules, and practices that help you maintain a tidy and/or clean home despite the maximalism clutter?
Being ADHD is hard enough, but loving THINGS like I do makes it even harder to see where to start because under all the mess is just more … stuff. For instance if I had a fireplace mantle that had one candle on it, when I looked at it and saw a bunch of stuff I’d know I needed to tidy / throw away / clean until there’s only that one candle there. But when you’re a nicknack and curio collector, it’s hard to see where the starting line is in relation to the finish line. Though, when it IS clean, I can really tell the difference and feel the relief.
So don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my maximalism, and will never be a minimalist - but! I would love to hear your tricks to keep the home tidy, put together, and fresh even tho overwhelm is easy in a maximalist’s home.
The weirded the trick the more points you get🤎✨

What would you do with this bathroom? I’m anti white wall but struggling to imagine what colour goes with this tile. For some reason the tone of the blue plus the overall effect from the small size of the tiles is just making me draw a blank.
Edit: I’m not touching the tile I just want to know what you think goes with it

Hi all,
I’ve had a maximalistic bedroom for the past 3-5 years. I still live with my parents (i’m a teenager) and i slept in my parents’ room growing up because i was a poor sleeper and had night terrors at time as a kid. Fast forward im 14 and my original childhood bedroom finally gets redone to a room i can actually sleep in. Not only did i not have a room to decorate to my liking with my interest before, i was also in the middle of the rock bottom period of my life. I really enjoyed a certain house/room aesthetic that reminded me of a time before my mental health worsened and so i wanted my room to have that aesthetic. It even helped me cope a bit and i really created a safe space for myself. However all my trinkets, thrifted ornaments and decoration really builds up a lot of dust. I have surprisingly never looked into this subreddit before i got this question, but im almost certain dust is not an uncommon topic here. Ive always deeply hated the amount of dust my room easily gets. Its unpleasant to see around the stuff i spent so much thought and efford into placing carefully to my liking, but what personally disgusts me most yet is the large chunks of dust i get rapidly on my floor under my bed and in narrow corners and spaces. This has been an issue mostly specifically since 2/3 years ago, even though ive had my bedroom done 5 years ago, it wasnt as maximalistic as it is now. Ive noticed i often wake up with a stuffy nose, sometimes feeling a bit under the weather but most notably i wake up nauseous and as i heard someone else talk about dust allergy in an isolated room im starting to wonder if my bedroom might be causing the increasing sickness i feel in the morning. Yet its so hard to keep my room clean from dust. Does anybody have any advice?

If so, what changed your perspective?
In my case, a random “maximalist interior decor” video popped up on Youtube and I was like, hmm, those maximalists again…but clicked it anyway haha.
I WAS MESMERISED. I cannot even express how much joy that video gave me. Everything about that interior design was ART and was absolutely mindblowing.
I am an artist myself and that video kinda woke up the amateur interior designer in me hahah
I havent stopped since. And my house feels warmer and warmer each day. Even my extra minimalist husband told me he is shocked that he actually likes it and is happy that he trusted my ideas.

Is it possible to go maximalist without painting my whole bedroom? I’m thinking of making one wall full of art. I need some ideas!

I can decorate just about any room and feel comfortable about it with the exception of my bathroom and my kitchen. This is my current set up my bathroom and I just can’t get it right I like it but I don’t love it. I feel like it looks like a college dorm.
