In case you were wondering, yes, there is a war between minimalist and maximalist decor. Someone joined a maximalist decor Facebook group just to take people’s photos to share in a minimalist decor Facebook group for people to make fun of. Shit’s kicking off.
One of the maximalists commented, ‘Boring beige bastards!’
Another maximalist commented, ‘For a minimalist, that effort seems pretty extra!’ and it’s the most liked comment in the thread.
Someone has added, ‘Why can’t they just Marie Kondo their sock drawers and leave the rest of us alone?’ and yeah, fair point.
Turns out, people in the minimalist Facebook group did object when someone posted the photos and started slagging off maximalism. She is now banned from both groups. I hope cottage core wants her.
Someone straight up said, ‘Those judgey minimalist bitches are petty af and they all secretly just want more stuff!’ which is a strong statement.
The whole comment thread seemed to calm down when someone who sees themselves as neither maximalist nor minimalist commented, ‘Beauty is created by appreciation. Maxi becomes clutter without space to love it in. Mini becomes barren without something to love.’
If only people obsessed with decor ran the world, we would have no wars. Everything is calm again.
‘If they want to live in a sterile doctor’s office, void of life, personality and character, more power to them.’ says one maximalist. Another says, ‘Who has the time to do this betrayal?’
Update: It’s no longer calm. Because of the maximalist thread in the minimalist group, a lot of minimalists have joined the maximalist group - and they are now seeing all the comments about them. Like the one that said ‘minimalist brain cells for their minimalist lives.’
One has commented, ‘I am an extreme minimalist and I joined this group because I love colour and I think you have beautiful homes but your attitudes are trash. I have never read anything negative about maximalism in the minimalist group. Here it’s ugly.’
Are we the bad guys?!
Are we the bad guys?!
Oh, Carol from Michigan just joined in with a ‘In my opinion, Marie Kondo is a total psychopath.’
Someone just told a minimalist to ‘go back to your beige walls’.
Words being used by maximalists about the original minimalist who stole photos to mock them on the minimalist group: twatwaffle, douchenozzle, cockwessle, wankpuffin and cuntmuffin.
