We’ve gathered some of the most stunning posts from the Facebook page ‘Colourful & Maximalist Home Decor Inspo,’ where members proudly share their vibrant homes.

Just Bought A New House And My First Project Was To Paint My Stairs. The Entire House Is Greige And I Couldn't Handle It Any Longer. 🙈 I Stared At Paint Swatches For Nearly Two Months Before Moving In To Get The Shades Right, But I Think I Did Alright. 😂

New To This Page. Thought I’d Share My Postage Stamp Feature Wall. 10,734 Stamps From All Over The World, All Stuck One-By-One. A Mixture Of New And Used Stamps. They Are Stuck On A False Wall, Using Water Based Products, We Could Remove The False Wall Or Steam Them Off If We Needed Too. No Real Monetary Value, More Sentimental As I Used To Collect Stamps With My Late Grandfather. It Was Like Doing A Huge Puzzle! Some Of The Stamps Have Embellishments And Shine When The Sun Hit Them. This Colourful Wall Is The First Wall You See When You Enter Our Home. Australia

My uncle had a wall like this, he's in his 60's now and had a lot of pen pals when he was in his 20's. We had a game where he said something like 'Where's the palm tree' and had to find it.

Hi Everyone! This Is My First Time Posting Here, Although I Have Posted In Other Groups. These Pictures Are Of Different Rooms In Our Home. I Love To Decorate In Pinks And Pastels. I Have An Appreciation For Kitschy, Silly, Goofy, Nostalgic, And Vintage Things. I Decorate With Items That Amuse Us And Evoke Joy. Not Everyone Appreciates This Aesthetic, But For Us, It Is Fun And Nurtures Creativity. I Love, Love, Love To See Maximalism In All Its Various Forms. ❤️ Thanks For Letting Me Share Here

Can BP do more like this? Tired of seeing Am I an @$$hole and other depressing articles.
