The Meaning of Maximalism (and Why We'll Never Be Minimalists) | The Spiral Lab Podcast Ep. 1

Описание: Maximalism! It’s an interior design style trending across the internet right now, but it’s often misunderstood, and sometimes unfairly maligned. Marta and Gray have completely different styles, but both consider themselves maximalists, for reasons that go beyond aesthetic.

Discussed in this episode:
why so many neurodivergent people love maximalism
how a maximalist home honors women's work and stories
Kim Kardashian's big, beige, unsettling mansion
how a focus on property value has changed the way our spaces are designed
the historic lie that led to white and beige becoming a mark of good taste (and why it's really not!)
