Less is More and More is More: Minimalist and Maximalist Interiors
/
Let's talk about minimalism and maximalism today. Both are very "in" right now in the design world. If anything, it feels like minimalism is on its way out while maximalism is on its way in. However, will either truly be out of style? We think not. We feel torn when it comes to these two very different styles. It's like choosing between birthday cake and birthday pie. You love both, but for completely different reasons.

We don't have many hard and fast rules when it comes to decorating your home. With a space that reflects you and your family as an end goal, we can find ways to make nearly anything work if it makes your heart sing. You want a ceramic chetah statue in your den? Do it. You want to have three patterned rugs in one room? Why not? No clothes storage in your bedroom? Sure thing.

My excitement to start anew is evidenced by the fact that the living room in the new house looks nothing like my previous living room. It's a completely new space. However, upon reflection, the dining room is a different story.

The difference between minimal and unfinished decorating
I've been lying in bed thinking about this quite a lot over the past year. My life ritual is to swing from one extreme to another, then gently wander my way into middle ground. I did this with boyfriends. I did this with work. I'm doing this with my bedroom decorating, duh. So my once packed bedroom became quite a blank canvas this past year. And it's from this place, I have been contemplating the difference between minimal design and something not quite finished.
