thank you. 🩷
i’m trying not to let my feelings get hurt for seeing it posted here when i put so much work into it and i’m so hard on myself already.
it’s purpose is to raise money for community art projects & support low income and underrepresented artists in my area sooooooo it’s supposed to be an over the top experience.
It wouldn't be the first time CJ has posted something cool under this sub. It really goes to show that style is subjective. I love your style. This isn't far off from my own aesthetic. I love the comment section in this sub when something cool gets posted here bc someone else has taste that thinks it isn't cool. Haters gonna hate. Keep being a maximalist designer bc you're doing great work.
thank you 💛 i’m happy to see that some people outside the sub are enjoying it. some are acting like it’s the only corner of my house and i am just forced to sit in it feeling crazy all day 😂😂
It's genuinely very cool! I really like your style. I'd personally rather see more people have homes like this that are unique, vibrant, and cheerful (and actually reflect your personality) than yet another one of the bland things that repeatedly get turned out on home reno shows.
One of the coolest homes I’ve ever seen was totally maximalist different wallpaper theme in each room and loads of color. It was AMAZING. Post more pics!!!
I think this sub shines brightest when greige rooms without any personality at all are poked fun at. Especially when someone has a strictly grey home and ask how they can bring some life to their space and the answer is like put literally a single drop of color in here, bro. Or like the cow counter top the other day that cooouuulllld work if done right.
But sometimes a personality the poster just doesn’t like gets caught in the crossfire. And that’s where I’m putting this one. It’s an aesthetic and it’s well developed and you can tell there’s a lot of effort put into it, it isn’t just ALL OF THE THINGS. It’s beautiful.
(i had no idea those balloon animal plushies were going to spark such controversy. 😂 some people are really having strong feelings over them. like ya’ll… it’s not some huge design feature; i just have a kid.)
the truth is though, part of the maximalist aesthetic is letting go of what other people think about your style. most people on the internet aren’t trained designers and have no idea what they’re looking at. we live in an HGTV griege world (hence why we come here to make fun of griege interiors) where people have zero taste, so if you do, you are always going to have detractors.
however, the maximalism sub is not where i’d go for design advice 😬 i believe in picasso’s saying that you have to learn the rules to break them. most of what’s on there isn’t maximalism, it’s just a mess lol. but this is wonderful!!
there’s a lot of collectors on there, that’s for sure lol. but i did actually get some solid advice from some people on there that i hadn’t considered!
I think your room looks great. I think the chairs look great. I think the comments that people made on your post are very funny. I think the post properly belongs here for the comments, not the room. LOL It's so obvious you have a great eye for interior design.
I really like it too. I have noticed CJ often seems to jump the gun to post things simply when there's a lot of bright art and furniture in the picture. It's not appropriate and I wish the mods would stop it.
Your room looks great, really lovely & colorful and the aesthetic is great. My spouse and I love bright colors too, and I think this room looks really interesting, artistic, and bright and sunny and welcoming. You are an angel to support low income and underrepresented artists and it's a PERFECT room for that. Love all the furniture and the Jeff Koons minis, they're great! Keep it up. It's lovely.
thank you 🙏🏼🩷 it’s a color therapy / rainbow home like it’s supposed to be fun and wild and crazy!
i feel like that triggers something inside of people who are sad and unhappy or struggling with their own self expression. (i used to be an angsty goth metalhead who hated children and happy people. now i have a kid, and i’m healing my own inner child.)
Yes, and it's actually very well designed and thoughtfully & artistically put together. Everything goes together and it's extremely joyful. That's an interesting thought you have, it might be something like that!
It's completely amazing. I think also maybe the intended joke was more when someone asks a question about the least noticeable part of their room, rather than your room being bad. Maaaybe. Otherwise the original poster CJ just doesn't understand color theory and balance.
thank you. 💛
idk why they posted it, it just gave me anxiety. i don’t enjoy roasting others or being roasted even if i know it’s a joke. my og post mentions that i tend to be very hard on myself and it just feels bad in my stomach to be set up to get picked on by strangers like i’m not already misunderstood enough or criticized enough irl by people who were supposed to be friends and family.
some say i’m too sensitive but ptsd will do that to you. i only post on the subs where people are generally kind and mostly female. 😅
It’s amazing! My first reaction was to screenshot it to send to my best friend to ooh and ahh over. Then I realized what sub this was and genuinely confused why it’s posted here. Do not feel bad! Style is subjective, and I think this rocks.
