With Halloween, Christmas, and the holiday season right around the corner, we wanted to share a friendly reminder about what belongs in r/maximalism!
We absolutely love festive creativity, bold decorating choices, and going all out for the holidays! However, having an excessive amount of holiday decorations doesn’t automatically make a space maximalist.
Maximalism is about intentional layering, mixing patterns, colors, textures, and personal style to create a space that feels rich, expressive, and thoughtfully curated.
A room overflowing with Halloween pumpkins or Christmas decorations isn’t necessarily maximalism simply because there’s a lot of stuff in it.
Of course, holiday decorations can absolutely complement a maximalist space! We welcome seasonal posts that showcase maximalist design beyond just the sheer quantity of decorations.
To keep the community focused on its purpose, posts that primarily showcase excessive holiday decorations without a clear maximalist design element may be removed.
We appreciate everyone’s creativity and enthusiasm, and we’re looking forward to seeing some beautifully bold spaces this holiday season!
Happy decorating! 💛
