I'm a lover of maximalism. While some prefer more pared-back schemes, to me, nothing beats a room decorated with layers of meaningful treasures that tell my story.

Whether it's a living room that dons a rather statement wallpaper or rows of decorated shelves in a kitchen, maximalist homes have a unique charm and personality that never grows old. They've had a reputation for being a little overwhelming at times, but any good design aims to leave a lasting impression.

Shop the look

From vintage paintings to rustic vases, Josh's study is filled with trinkets and treasures. A lover of vintage classics, Josh's space features a pair of Classic Industrial Metal Side Chairs by Ohio Steel as well as a rather decadent Early 20th Century Iron Oak Leaf Metal & Wood Chandelier.

While every piece in the home office is filled with character and story, what holds the design together and gives it its charm is its artful balance of these pieces. So, if you're looking to recreate the look, remember to incorporate pieces that speak to you, but balance them with complementary colors and textures.

Josh's study is filled with thoughtful details. From the bookcase decor to the warm color palette, the space is the perfect balance of old and new. It proves the power of eclectic decorating and staying true to yourself.
