What Houzz contributors are saying:
First, a quick history lesson on maximalism – most easily summed up with the phrase “More is more.” The undisputed godfather of this movement is the late, great Tony Duquette, whose Dawnridge home is pictured here. In the middle of the 20th century, the theatrical costumer, sculptor, painter and jeweller embraced every fanciful element of his trades and spun them into grandiose flurries of interior decoration. Duquette quite literally wrote the book on maximalism, and we have him to thank for those richly layered, patterned, frescoed, gilded spaces that today are inspiring a new generation of designers. Here are a few lessons I’ve learned from studying the master of maximalism, slightly augmented for the minimalist set.Read about fashion and interior designer JJ Valaya who follows maximalism in his designs
What Houzzers are commenting on:
Curved designs, plus rly cool ceiling art. There's a ton of rooms in this house with chandeliers that I've decided I will own someday, so I'm only saving one to get the general idea of the chandeliers
this is eclectic because of the many diffrent colors and patterns
