Through the Looking Glass
If you conflate maximalism with clutter and confinement, Katie Mack — the designer, social-media tastemaker, vintage treasure hunter and all-around force of nature behind Candy-Colored Home — would love to have you over to her place in L.A.
“Maximalism to me does not equate with clutter,” she says. “A lot of times I think people think, like, ‘Oh, you just have a cluttered home.’ “No maximalism for me is my love of things, my love of thrifting, and wanting to display all of my treasures but to do it in an elevated way.” Her proof of concept? The midcentury beauty her family calls home is just over 900 square feet of livable space, and every last one of them is a breath of fresh air. She’d be delighted to show you how it came together — and how it’s constantly evolving.
