THE GREAT DEBATE
minimal, maximal, or.....
hi angel,
welcome to What Is This Regarding? where we take a critical lewk at wtf’s going on around us. This wk, i’m going to unpack something i feel so deeply in my core. WHO TF AM I, AESTHETICALLY… IN THE HOME?? as we’ve been designing our new home/studio, i’ve needed to really dive in… am i a minimal girlie who only has a bed and one impractical chair?? am i a maximalist who searches high and low at every estate sale for art to wrap up the ceilings? decor, like clothing, expresses to the world who you are - how iconic, how blase, how bitchy. so… come with me on a journey of discovery.
MINIMAL
minimalism is a state of mind. and a lack of having anything whack.
it screams mysterious, sure-of-oneself, high quality, and definitely can pronounce niche designers.
it can be cozy and warm just via good material choices like pottery and wicker; also can feel extremely iNtErNaTionAL.
like wearing the row, #oldbottega, or anything Lydia Tár would f*ck with, minimal is a very solid choice. less is bitchier better.
MAXIMAL(ish)
we’re basically still rockin with minimal but a lot more of it. so that’s essentially just saying to the world look at all my fly sh*t.
with that said (s/o sprang breakers) my miami aesthetic very much tunes into this love of more is more even when we’re still rockin with a minimalist approach to life.
my version of maximalism also probes the question - what is that? when you bring in items that are so rogue and borderline chaotic, it prompts conversations you may not otherwise have. is that couch made of dishrags or is it gaetano pesce? who can say.
is the wall a wall or is it……paper???
life is too short to not have things in your home that have the sole purpose of making you happy. GO BIG OR GO HOME.
ABYSMAL
so i rly don’t mean to blow up the men out here but i have to call out two bits of content i cannot unsee that hit me in the face this wk: (1) broho (2) bachelor castle (sry got into the natty wine and can’t find the link but use your imagination). like…….. truly the worst but also………. are they……… happier than me??!!!!? probably! the secret to abysmal aesthetics is the lack of giving a fuck maybe means a happier, calmer life. THE END!!!!!!
