The MAXIMALIST MANIFESTO

1. LOUDLY DECORATE & DECORATE LOUDLY

Minimalism tells you to strip away and conform. Maximalism dares you to go nuclear. More color, more texture, more pattern, more attitude. Whether you want to go bold and monotone, or create a colorful oasis, your home is your space, feel free to be as loud as you want with it.

2. Your Walls are Canvases

Forget beige and barnyard. Coat your walls in stories, art, and color outside the lines (and rules) with reckless abandon. No fear. No apologies. If it electrifies you, it belongs.

3. Clash, Don’t Conform

Perfection is a myth. Harmony is a lie. Let colors riot, patterns collide, and furniture clash like titans. Stripes and florals? Hell yes. Vintage and futuristic? Even better. Build the unexpected; revel in the unpredictable. Never sensor your taste or funky ides. If it floats your boat, yacht, canoe, then it gets to stay.

4. MAXIMALISM ISN’T GLORIFIED HOARDING. RESPECT YOUR SPACE.

Maximalism isn’t about mindless clutter—it’s a curated, personalized ART. Collect relics, snatch treasures, and create a shrine to your obsessions. This is your personal museum of madness and beauty.

5. Always a work in progress.

Your space should be an ever evolving metamorphosis. Don’t stop doing and redoing. Your home decor is not a to-do list. It’s a to live list.

6. Sentiment over trends

Screw fast trends that tell you what to buy, when. Work on building a home that loves what is meaningful to you. Every object should carry weight—whether it’s a flea market conquest, a hand-me-down dripping in nostalgia, or a new acquisition that sets your soul on fire.

7. Rules are for thinking outside of them.

Feel like putting up a Christmas tree in July? cool. Want to paint your bathroom all black, why not? Forget what’s ‘in’— and what is allowed and follow what makes your heart beat faster. Your home should be a shrine to your obsessions, not a slave to fleeting fads.

8. Do it for YOU

Who cares what the neighbors think? who cares about the resale value? who cares what your mother will say?… You live in the place. You make it your own. If people have something to say, they should worry about their own house. This is not about pleasing the masses—it’s about feeding your soul.

9. Make it a place you can live in

Every piece should serve joy, function, or fascination. If you ever stop feeling comfortable in a space you created, re-evaluate. There’s a fine line between curated excess and a landfill. Straddle it like a pro.

10. THERE IS NOTHING THAT IS NOT UN-DOABLE

Don’t like it? sell it, return it, donate it. Paint over it. Wallpaper it. Just don’t let the fear of ruining something keep you from trying new things. Creativity is meant to be messy, embrace the mistakes along with the wins. You’ve go this!

Your home isn’t just a space, it’s an ever evolving masterpiece, and a declaration that life should be lived in color, passion, and art.

Now, go forth and maximalize it..
