A bit chaotic and all over the place with ideas and inspiration for a maximalist decor style。 Some of the tips mentioned were useful but overall， I felt like there wasn't much useful information there。 And to be honest， most of the photos of the styled rooms were ugly （maybe maximalism just isn't for me）。 A bit chaotic and all over the place with ideas and inspiration for a maximalist decor style。 Some of the tips mentioned were useful but overall， I felt like there wasn't much useful information there。 And to be honest， most of the photos of the styled rooms were ugly （maybe maximalism just isn't for me）。 。。。more

I knew going in that I'm not really a maximalist， but as a self-proclaimed interior design hobbyist， I wanted to be informed about a significant design trend going on right now。 It's helpful to realize that some things are design constants: using both symmetry and asymmetry to create dynamic spaces， the art of using "vignettes" to create thoughtful spaces， avoiding catalogue-set-type approaches to decorating that can look too "cookie cutter，" etc。 and have their place in maximalism as much as in I knew going in that I'm not really a maximalist， but as a self-proclaimed interior design hobbyist， I wanted to be informed about a significant design trend going on right now。 It's helpful to realize that some things are design constants: using both symmetry and asymmetry to create dynamic spaces， the art of using "vignettes" to create thoughtful spaces， avoiding catalogue-set-type approaches to decorating that can look too "cookie cutter，" etc。 and have their place in maximalism as much as in minimalism。 I wouldn't have dinged my star rating simply because the design concepts featured don't jive with my own sense of style， but I have dropped my rating down from my standard 4-star rating （5 stars are given out rarely。。。 reserved for things that I truly， truly love） because there were no captions for the images chosen， and in many cases， the images did not seem to coordinate with the discussions in the text。 When I read a design book， I like the images to be "Here is this principle in action。" This was set up more as a lookbook in which the pictures have their own flow， and the text has its own （separate） flow。 Which has its place， I suppose。 But when I wanted to be taught about maximalism， the lack of cohesion between the principles discussed in the text and the images shown was a little frustrating。 。。。more

It’s hard to overstate just how truly excellent this book is。 It strikes the perfect balance between being incredibly informative and yet not overpowering in detail。 Through gentle repetition of fundamental design principles Ahern instilled both knowledge and confidence in the reader to undertake their own project。 I can’t recommend this book enough。
