“The elements being labeled tacky right now—lacquer, brass, velvet, ornate wallpapers, animal print—aren't actually tacky at all,” argues interior designer Page Finlay. “They're materials and motifs with deep design history that got pushed out by a decade of minimalist neutrality. What we're really seeing is a course correction. Our nervous systems are catching up to the fact that beige boxes don't feel like home.”
Whether you’re a devout minimalist intrigued by this idea, or you’re a maximalist in need of tacky-embracing tips, follow this interior designer advice to curate a sensory-rich home.
“Some may find this level of opulence tacky; it is gilded with gold, intricately detailed, and oversized,” says Maggie Griesbeck of MNG Design. “For my clients, it was a piece they had had in their collection for 25 years, and it wasn't going anywhere. I loved it and chose to embrace it.”
For balance and continuity, Griesbeck selected light fixtures with gold detailing and installed brass stair rods on the stair runner to weave the gold tones together. The neutral wallpaper provides a pretty, neutral backdrop and lets the gold elements shine.
2. Treat Your Ceilings as a Fifth Wall

Pro tip: Powder rooms and dining rooms are the easiest places to start.
3. Curate and Showcase Original Pieces
