Designers tend to be categorized into nebulous categories like 'Traditional', 'Transitional', 'Contemporary', 'Minimalist', or 'Maximalist'. As a 'Layerist', I want homes to feel layered because that's what real life feels like, because, over time, you collect memories and experiences and stack them. Just like life and relationships: layer upon layer.
When you live in a layered house, you keep adding things you love until there's a fullness. When a home is too minimalist, no doubt it is chic and beautiful, but it can also feel austere and cold.
