Color, Pattern & Personality Inside This Maximalist Los Angeles Home

When interior designer Meeshie Fahmy and her husband first came across this barn house in Inglewood, California, she wasn't entirely convinced this was the home for them. Ten years later, it's become a colorful, character-filled home that she couldn't imagine living without.

The rooms are filled with vintage furniture she's tracked down at thrift stores and on Craigslist, artwork collected on trips to Mexico and Japan, and plenty of unexpected finds she's reupholstered, repurposed, or simply couldn't pass up.

There are green walls, mushroom wallpaper, a disco-ball dining table, mismatched chairs, and more art than you can take in on one visit. Meeshie also takes us out to the backyard, which she and her husband transformed from a patch of dirt into a garden and outdoor kitchen where they love to entertain.

Her approach to decorating is refreshingly unfussy: buy what you love, don't worry about everything matching, and remember that a home is supposed to look like someone actually lives in it.
