Katie Gutierrez, Principal Interior Designer at Errez Design, was recently spotlighted in Homes & Gardens magazine’s article titled “Houseplants for Maximalists,” where she shared expert advice on integrating houseplants to enhance maximalist interior design.
Homes & Gardens, a leading home and garden design publication with over half a million monthly readers, featured Gutierrez as a key voice in the discussion of how plants can amplify vibrancy and personality in maximalist spaces.
Known for her bold and distinctive maximalist design style, particularly within Miami’s colorful and eclectic aesthetic, Gutierrez emphasized the important role plants play beyond mere decoration. She was quoted saying, “The right plants aren’t just decor – they’re characters in your story, full of personality, texture, and drama.” This highlights her belief that houseplants contribute dynamically to a room’s overall narrative and energy.
In addition, Gutierrez defined maximalism as “making every inch of your space feel alive. And nothing does that better than houseplants.” Her approach underscores a design philosophy that celebrates fullness and visual richness, using natural elements as integral components in creating lively, immersive interiors.
Gutierrez’s feature in Homes & Gardens further solidifies her position as a leading authority on maximalist design, particularly in the integration of houseplants as key design elements. Her extensive experience and projects with Errez Design demonstrate her ability to balance complexity and harmony, crafting spaces that are both expressive and functional.
As the maximalist design trend continues to grow, the article sheds light on the rising importance of natural elements like houseplants in achieving layered, textured interiors. Katie Gutierrez’s insights provide valuable guidance for those looking to embrace maximalism with vitality and style.
