San francisco living room

Arif and his husband believe that maximalism isn't just filling every square inch of your home with random objects. They take time to select what brings them happiness so their home is a safe haven of joy.

This shared San Francisco apartment has a huge bay window, black and white tiled kitchen flooring, three fireplaces, and stained glass windows. It can best be described as a colorful, maximalist urban jungle. #maxmalist #rentalhomedecorating #renterfriendlyhacks #livingroomdecor #livingroomideas #apartmentideas

With old-school touches and original hardwood floors, this apartment has a charm all its own.

When a couple bought a century-old Edwardian in San Francisco, they wanted to keep the original architecture, but give it a modern update.

This apartment's main selling points for Joyce were the huge windows and the natural light. "I wanted to create a home that felt equal parts like a warm hug and a peaceful retreat, so the overall decor vibe is purposely minimalistic, earthy, and neutral."
