Living to the Max - Opulent Homes and Maximalist Interiors
Opulent Homes and Maximalist Interiors in Living to the Max by gestalten
Jonathan Adler lives in this carefully curated furnishings apartment with his partner Simon Doonan. Together they have created a home that combines maximalist glamour with class and refinement. Find more about this wonderful place in Living to the Max by gestalten.
Dita von Teese opens the doors of her glamorous house in Hollywood. This maximalist project is featured in Living to the Max by gestalten.
Kentaro Poteliakhoff has taken the concept of Victorian opulence very much to heart. The walls in his four-story home are painted in fondant pastels, with names like “Bakelite green” and “coconut-ice pink.” Kentaro’s apartment is featured in Living to the Max by gestalten.
The styling in this apartment by Misha Kahn not only attempts to push the boundaries of maximalism to the next level, at times it succeeds. A graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, Minnesota-born Kahn is known for an experimental approach to furniture and lighting design with which he reinvents established techniques, often incorporating found materials and refuse, to create pieces that are outlandish in both form and function. Find out more about this project in Living to the Max.
Von Teese grew up watching 1940s movies with her mother and has cultivated a look for herself that is infused with classic Hollywood style—red lipstick, blue-black immaculately coifed hair, and a beauty mark tattooed near her left eye. Given Von Teese’s attention to such detail, it is only natural that the rooms of her home should reflect the same. Discover more about her home in Living to the Max.
This house is the epitome of New York Chic. In Jonathan Adler’s New York apartment, carefully curated furnishings, bold in both shape and color, are enclosed by brilliant white walls, creating spaces of the utmost sophistication. A successful home furnishings designer and stylist, Adler lives here with his partner Simon Doonan.
Time and again, Adler proves his mastery of interior design as he pairs decorative items with furnishings, matching them in color and form. Take the ensemble in the foyer, for example: here, a 1950s-style side board designed by Adler has a golden front carved with organic shapes that are echoed in the golden lamp and ornaments arranged on top. More about this project in Living to the Max, a book about maximalist interior design by gestalten.
This project of Antebellum Southern Comfort in New Orleans was designed by Chuck Randell and Carl Palasota. The resident of this maximalist house, Peter Rogers opens the doors of his extravagant house.
In this apartment designed by Misha Kahn, the scenes are fantastical to say the least. In the bedroom, gilded wall sconces reminiscent of an angel’s wings are mounted either side of a bed with a headboard fashioned from colorful fabric remnants, and a full-size toy sheep stands on a grass-green rug. In the dining area, a pair of rainbow-colored chairs by Katie Stout face each other across a table designed by Gaetano Pesce, the top of which is shaped like a map of Denmark.
Multilayering, a bold palette, clashing styles, and the mantra “more is more” are all common themes of the maximalist decorative style. As you turn the following pages, you will be treated to a visual feast of interiors in which barely a surface is clear of texture, pattern, color, or ornament.

The bedrooms upstairs are painted in neutral tones and have black-tile floors. In the guest room is a beautiful collection of neoclassical furniture that includes a pair of Regency beds, an antique Swedish gilded stool, and a Biedermeier mirror.
